What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I’m sorry man, but if you’re in the Redwoods and its night with a max health cap of just barely abovw 420, you’re NOT taming that thing.
Be careful with alphas. I saw it maul three trikes, a pachyrhiosaurus, and a bronto, and it still didn’t die. But somehow, my small pack killed it.
A Defence tip:
This is for protecting yourself from raptors pounce (i.e
when raptors jump on you and u can't fight back when it is up there).
Learn the wooden shield engram, craft it, equip it in offhand slot. Next enable 3rd person view and tap the crosshair icon (basically aim button) and keep it right in front of your face 'ALWAYS'.
Now whenever u r exploring and any raptor jumps on u and bites u, no health is lost.
Note: this have always worked on my 'ark mobile' singleplayer. I don't guarantee it on other platforms.
Cheers
In ark mobile are they breed ?
As a moderately skilled player I've had my encounters with raptors and it's so funny to me I could've just avoided so many deaths with a bola A FREAKIN BoLa!!!
I got jumped and died level105 so be careful 👍
Don't try to tame a raptor immediately they are annoying ealry on because you can be taming a dilo for protection and then you're being attacked by a raptor! Also don't take anywhere dangerous until you have more l than at least 5. Happy hunting or taming and stay aware!
2 weakneses: The Bola and water. If you encounter one for the first time either fight it or swim. But you may attract the piranhas! You'll struggle to outrun one on land.
Are they good mounts? Well no not really. Why? Weight. They can't carry much including you and whatver armour you have on.
They can pin down small creatures however making easy kills and collected meat and some hide.
I lime to have them as personal bodygaurds which you can simply "hire" on the go.
Put them on Neutral and let them fend for you or themselves. They have a very fast attack rate.
These guys are OP in large numbers. If you see a pack, and you’re alone, beware! If one pounces you, the rest of the pack will move in for the kill. They will shred through all your health and armor.
Be careful with this guys they can throw u off your mounts im still new and i didn't know this I'm trying aberration for the 1st time and they got me and my scorpion
Bola them
Beat them with your bat (tranq arrows if high level)
Raw meat (prime if high level)
Their weight is low so upgrade it a few times
Fast eaters have to hand feed till 10% might be able to fill at 8.5-9% and leave till trough but killed enough testing it out.
For beginners: bola it and hit it from behind. Feed it meat. Bring narcoberries in case. Fast and deadly mounts. Very useful
Me and my tribe mate just knocked it out by hands... not even knocked off mounts got off and tamed it easy it was lvl 20...
