Alpha’s are near immortal watched it take down two steggos a carno and two trikes i was also shooting with with a rifle and tranqs

To whom who asked for tips about a lvl 10 alpha raptor if your tames are lvl 100 or higher, yes fight it. If not, use metal or wooden spike walls.

It’s good to carry a pike if it does a random encounter and it might pin you down so it’s good to have a pet around

Best way to combat these guys is if you have a bola and torch. Bola stops them from moving a torch burns them. If you don’t have a bola a torch can still do some good by itself until you get a bow and arrow or a tame that can fight them easy aka a triceratops or carb or another raptor if you manage to tame one. Remember raptors are pack creatures so….. if you see one there are always more in the area

-WARNING- Although it doesn’t say it, they can damage wood. Tested on mobile.

What ever you do at a low level never go for an alpha raptor they are stronger than Rex and potentially spinosaur I tried and I learned not to do it I’m saying it as a tip to new players

This little prick a** bum snuck up behind me and popped a cap in my a** So they I respawned and went back over only to find out that this b**** was guarding my stuff trying to be an alpha over here only lvl 2

Whenever u are anywhere carry bolas... U find a player bola... Raptor, bola...

If you encounter an Alpha Raptor, lead it into deep water and make sure it doesn’t go to the shore, get on a rock (if there is one) and you can bow it if you are on the rock or try killing it with a sword or something else

RAPTORS ARE A.N.N.O.Y.I.N.G

For huge noobs like me you might find a raptor.Then the raptor notices you.Then it attacks you.Then you try to tame it.Then it attacks you.Your weapon breaks.Then it puts its big fat body on you.then it rips your head off.That’s what always happens to me! Look this is a story of me spawning in a area:

Me:*clicks random location button*

Me:*following the guide.*

Me:*sees a huge pack of raptors just after making pickaxe*

Raptors:*Notice me*

Alpha Raptor:”WE ARE GOING TO SHOVE YOUR BUTT IN OUR MOUTHS.”

Me:why do I exist in ark

1 Like=1 Respect For Noobs (Like Me)

So once I had 2 dilos and I named one Spitty and the other OP

So I was going out to the beach when a raptor attacked me and I was able to knock it out but spotty and OP died in the progress, but I got a buetiful powerful raptor.

1 like = 1 like to Spitty and OP

If your a low level you’re going to get mauled by this guy he legit jumps you and there’s nothing you can do other than watch yourself die

These death rates can only pounce on you for a short amount of time depending on their level if your a high level with lots of health then eventually you will be able to survive if you’re a newbie your dead meat

If you run into a raptor stay crouched wen the pounce on you quickly

Un crouch and it will miss the pin.

Okay well I was peacefully climbing up a mountain to find a rex I was a newbie just crafted my first axe (hey it is fun to get killed sometimes)when I saw some raptors I decided to get out of there but one raptor snuck beside me when I was distracted by another and 3!!! Raptors chased me I started smacking a red one with my fists but I then realized I could not win the fight and RAN FOR MY FREAKING LIFE!!!!! I started running with half of my health gone and injured.and about a minute later I could see safety 40 feet away when I was jumped on by a raptor i my final moments all I could see was the jungle dust a raptor and a almost dead body so that was my story

Bolas don't work on alphas. Bear traps do though.

I frickin hate these. They enjoy devouring you, ur friends, and ur dinos! Whenever I see them I usually attempt to run to the biggest herbivore I see so the raptor will either attack it or the herbivore attacks it!! I preferably run towards trikes

Lots of guides say to leave the beaches as soon as possible, and I sort of agree. Leave the beach, but go to a spot with few trees (somewhere between the beach and the jungle) to start your first base. Definitely DON’T go straight to the jungle though, because most of the forests near start zones are filled with raptors, and if you’re a beginner you’ll be dead before you can think ‘hmm, it looks hungry.’ Not to say don’t go in the woods, just wait until you can tame/kill most raptors before trying to go too deep. Sorry for the length.

Ack, these things are so fast it’s hard to get away from them... but lucky for you here are some suggestions of how to get away from a pack of raptors(or just one lol)

1. Bola it and kill/run away

2.run under a brontosaurus’s legs

3. Enter a body of water and start swimming

4. Keep a neutral or passive wild dino between you and it, ( parasaurs, carbonemys and trikes

5. Get on a rock and shoot it

6. Run to a cliff

7. Cross a river

If one chases after you and you know you cannot fight it then sprint away and run very close to herbivores or small carnivores because it will keep following your trail and choose to attack them instead. If this helped then ^
