What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you tame a good 3 or 4 raptors,you can not only take down bigger and better dino's, but get meat,recourses, and a lot of hide by killing other dino's.
Bola the raptor, go behind it and club till unconscious, and then feed it raw meat and if the unconsciousness is going down fast, just give it narcotics, pretty easy to make at low level, i recommend to feed it 3 narcotics or 2,, I tamed a level 2 Raptor in less than 10 minutes with that method, just for it to die to a spinosaurus, so definitely come with a saddle :) , please like
After a long time of searching and breeding, i finally got a Pack of 6 Tek Raptor around Level 250 with Meele Damage around 400%. They do like 150 Damage with a crazy fast attacking Speed. Because of the saddle, they got Damage Reduction by 20%. Please everyone stop always saying Raptors are useless and wolfes are better!
Raptors are anazing, damn cool mounts!
How to tame a raptor!!!
Now,let’s start packing
You will need
1:Raw meat
2:narcotic (if you have motor and pestle)
3:bow and arrow(tranq arrows.you don’t want to kill the thing)
4:bolas(it’s always safe to bring extras)
5:a club
Now that we are done packing,let’s see what kind of taming mode you wanna do
Mode 1:Get on top of a rock and shoot it with tranqs and a bola
Mode2:hit it with a club or fists
Choose one of those modes and go try it!
Always carry around at least 1 bola. They can be death sentence for raptors. If you see a pack of them, stay away until you are confident you can take them on (have a decent pack of dinosaurs).
There flipping annoying every time a raptor tries to kill me I always DIE BECAUSE IT FLIPPING LATCHES ON TO YOU
At one point I found a alpha tek raptor but when I tried to spawn a alpha tek raptor myself it did not work
If you are new, start learning how to make bolas NOW!!! You are more likely to survive if you have some.
Use a bola and tranq arrows on a crossbow
For mobile players only…
There is lots of raptors in the southern isles.
Most of them are by the mountains obviously,
But if your looking for them go there.
MOBILE TIPS
If you want to trap a raptor, they can fit through doorframes but they cannot fit through doorframes with a wall on top. If you skipped the doorframe and just had an elevated wall they couldn’t go through because of their hit box.
Took my two raptors out to get some raw fish/meat around the map. I was riding my 125 and my 107 was following. Until I realize up ahead there’s a pack of 130 raptors up ahead. I tried going around them but had to fight anyways. My 107 had died fighting a 130 and 135 while I my 125 was low fighting a 139. We barely made it out since my raptor was about 102 HP and out Stamina running form the others 4 raptors.
1 like/up = one respect for Robber ( the one that died )
Some things make life so much easier and a high level raptor is one of them. They are easy to tame, good for killing other things and if you put lots of levels into health, weight and speed you can use then to tame others. Who needs a trap to tame a rex when you can shoot it with a cross bow, hop on your raptor and run forward and repeat. A large group also helps.
When I was playing primal fear I saw a raptor and started to run. Suddenly I remembered a human against a raptor is a win for humans so I turned around and fought it! Then this message appeared: you were killed by an alpha raptor level 204. Oops...
These guys are pretty easy to tame if not high level. Just take a crossbow and a few tranq darts and shoot ast it but make sure they haven't noticed you. When it comes closer bola it and continue shooting until it's knocked out. Feed em Raw meat, they don't need much of it. They're useful too, but some things that aren't so well:
-they cant carry a lot of things
-they have low stamina
-they don't have much health
-they may be fast but are super slow in water, even high level raptors
Its kinda annoying that they are so slow In water, if you're lucky, 1 or 2 megapiranhas will attack you. If you're Unlucky, (Mantas sometimes) Cnidarias and megapiranhas can also come. Megalodons is pretty rare tho, depending on where you are.
Bye chat 🫡
If there's one, there's probably another.
