You need tranqs because I killed one with my fists
These things are the type you would see in a dark alley absolute thugs
No-one's shared a tip about raptor breeding so I thought I'd help you folk out!
Raptors hatchlings are really easy to take care of. They hatch with about 3 standing torches, although the number varies depending on the ambient temperature of your region and time of day. They'll need about a stack of raw meat to make it through the entire maturation process and can be fed from a trough once they reach the 'juvenile' stage (10% maturity), however you WILL need to give them food beforehand as they'll starve before they reach 10%. Otherwise you can really just leave them be. Obviously they can't be ridden and I strongly don't recommend fighting with raptors that haven't matured yet as they have less health than a fully grown raptor (which already has low hp).
Happy breeding! I hope this tip helped!

It's easy to tame these guys, u just need to be careful, so let's learn how!
U need:few bolas, (if u missing or there's a pack)and meat (raw meat) tip: before you going to use the Bola or idk. chack first if there's a pack or a solo raptor.
Step 1-use the Bola on the raptor and start to attack it, if u attack it with ur hand, attack it from the back.
Step 2-attack it until its sleeping
Step 3-when its sleeping, give it the raw meat and wait!
And boom! U have a raptor! Good luck!
If you are new and you see on run for dear life
Here’s a quick tip on taming these clever girls.
So first off you gotta find it by itself, if it has a pack try killing them if you can, if you can’t then try luring them away (would recommend a friend to do this) and then once you’ve got sights on your raptor bola it and then either hit it with clubs or tranq it with tranq arrows then add a stack of meat and protect it until it tames, raptor saddle is at lvl 18, hope this helped.
For beginners, run away if you get a pop up saying you’re in a dangerous area. It’s probably one of these guys ready to rip your throat out
Painful with out bola always have bola
One time me my dilo,and lvl 29 dodo were walking around the beach and a one of these killed both my tames and I survived 1like =1 RIP for kill accepted and mandible
If ur wondering how to tame these guys, don’t worry, I tamed one that had 1,000 health. If u want practice getting close to raptors, I recommend doing the raptor hunt pursuit before u attempt to tame a raptor. First, u need to be prepared. Get at least 3-4 bolas, a pike, tranq arrows and bow, and meat and narcotic. For a low lvl u probably won’t need narcotic but mine was lvl 95 so i hv no idea about low lvls. Next, u need to find raptors. They’re usually found in the forest in the far southeast of the Island. Then u just need to knock it out. Approach it slowly and wait for it to run towards u (u don’t wanna go towards it bc then it only has to run a short distance to come attack u). Give urself plenty of time and when it runs towards u, throw bola and knock it out quickly (bolas only last 30 seconds). Put meat in its inventory and use narcotic if unconscious bar goes too low. Keep ur eye out for other raptors (they usually hunt in packs) and use ur pike to defend urself and ur raptor. I recommend bringing a few fighting creatures in case u get jumped on. Once the taming bar reaches the end, u hv a raptor! Raptor saddle unlocks at lvl 18 but if ur still too scared (like me) i recommend waiting till u hv at least tranq arrows (unlock at lvl 21).
Raptors are very useful bc they are pretty fast and they attack well.
Talon (my raptor), is now lvl 130 and it has been a trusty backup when I go hunting. Plz up so other players see this.
The raptor is a good beginning mount.It is good at gathering meat and is fast. The raptor however has low stamina and health so fight smaller dinosaur to level up and then move on to fight larger dino. The raptor is a pack animal and in a group can easily kill players. It is also good at base defense if you put your raptors on aggressive and wander IN YOUR BASE WALLS. They are a good first mount and even helpful later on when you tame multiple and make a pack
Here’s how to tame a raptor
Step 1 get bolas (get more then one just in case you miss)
Step 2 kill Dino’s for meat
Step 3 find the raptor you want to tame
Step 4 bola it
Step 5 knock it out
Step 6 put the meat in its inventory
Step 7 wait till it tames
I hope this helps :)
I’m doing pts next
Do not get so scared when you see a raptor just craft a bola which is cheap,it traps the raptors for 30secs which is more then enough to shoot it with tranqs or hit it with a club
Hello I will show you how to tame a raptor! But first, I love the raptors because 1. They are fast and strong 2. They are easy to tame!
Step 1. Get a bola. You might need more if you are on the edge of a hill.
Step 2. Make sure the raptor sees you. When he spots you he will run straight at you, Now is your chance! Bola him and knock him out! Make sure you have a least 10 pieces of meat (raw) before taming! Enjoy! Plz like if this was helpful!
You don't really need to make the kibble for the raptor, it tames fairly quickly with just raw meat. When you tame them, make sure you're either in a clear, flat area or shooting at it from where it can't get to you. When on flat land, snag it with a bola when it runs directly at you so you have a clear shot. You could either hit it with a slingshot or tranq arrows and it will go down quickly. Watch out for other raptors, they often hang out in packs.
Don’t push your luck with these guys. If they see you, you’re screwed unless you have adequate weapons and/or a flyer. These guys… these are the soldiers of ark.
