At one point I found a alpha tek raptor but when I tried to spawn a alpha tek raptor myself it did not work

When I first saw a raptor that was surrounded in red smoke I thought it was on fire so it would be weaker. I attack it and it kills me. Turns out it was an alpha raptor. Remember this so you don’t make my mistake.

Fun fact the raptors in ark aren't Velociraptors they're Utahraptors

If you see a raptor that has an orange glow around its chest, then it means that raptor is... AN ALPHA! ...in its pack which means that it is a high level, probably mate boosted, does more damage, and that there are probably more raptors near you.

Note this when trying to find high level raptors as you wanna target the one with an orange aura near its chest as it has the highest level in the local area.

And to the people who are playing old ark mobile, ignore everything that I said, as this feature only exists for allosauruses on old ark mobile.

If your lvl 10 and find one of these being oversized and having a red aura then run as fast as your little stamina lets you run cuz you just encountered an alpha and it WILL hunt you down

I learned that in ASA, Raptors can fit through doors now. This was not a fun learning experience.

There were four creatures attacking you and there was only one tame that could stop them but when the world needed it most, it vanished

These dudes are fast,I got attacked by a pack of 3 on my parasaur named parasite(yes that's her name)and I had to run into the forest and got chased by a theri and my parasaur died!(one up for parasite)these guys sure are smart and are fast!have your player speed upto112% to outrun them(i've made a gaming guide check it and please up!)

I was taming a casteroid in a dino pen which was already 70+% tamed, and then this wanker jumped in the pen through the ramp and ruined tha taming effectiveness, lesson leaned: kill everything around you when taming something

Sometimes multiple will pull up on you

One time I came across a alpha raptor and at the time I was new to the game I tried to knock it out with a bat

I was walking around, scouting for a potential place to construct my base. Then, from behind a rock, a raptor pounces out at me! I try to run away, but as I was carrying walls for my base, I couldn’t outrun it and died. I went back to pick up my stuff, while looking around for that pesky raptor, and beside my stuff I see that my sweet dilo, Spiny, had survived! The raptor didn’t even care about killing Spiny, just me. Weird!

If you don’t have a bola or tranqs then just run into the water, for some reason they run away from you when you touch water. If that doesn’t work go underwater they can’t go underwater.

I hate these things when I’m in aberration like wtf they can pounce on you. Ark devs hopefully fix in ascendente or they gust did that on purpose one way or another they know how to annoy me popping at the worst time.

I kinda miss the wild aberrant raptor pounce ability

It made early game much more difficult and fun

I get it if you dont agree its just my opinion

Always have a bola on you so if you see it you can trap it n kill or tame. Or have some strong weapon like an ascendant sword or anything to kill it fast... BEWARE!! cause if it comes too close, it will pounce at you and pin you to the ground. Then all you can do is “absolutely nothing” except watch it eat you to death! Good luck! Also, always expect there to be more than 1 raptor. Play it safe!

Do not try to bola an alpha raptor!

Don’t go into the forest without multiple bolas

The raptors wil-

Person was killed by Raptor - Lvl 50

Early levels things things can make your life miserable. Try to get it to agro a trike or lure it away from your base, even if it kills you.

If you are trying to get away have bolas if not you can lose it it water it swims slower than you
