What are tips for raptor? Tips and strategies for raptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Get a medium mount like a parasaur, go next to a rock and dismount so you're on the rock, then throw a shoot an arrow at the raptor so it runs closer. It can't get on the rock so then you can Bola and tranq it. Tames very quickly or at least it did for me. Fast and good melee but stamina is not great so level that. Good at getting meat, hide, keratin etc.

Kill many many dodo’s for meat. It will come in handy if no parasaurs are around. Now find a pack but don’t take them all at once. I died because the raptors ambushed me one after another. So just bola them all slaughter the low lvl’s and tame high lvl’s. Upvote if worked for u.
All you need is at least hide armor and at least a slingshot they are easy to tame
If you see a raptor try keep your distance if you don’t have a bola. Try carry one at all times because it is almost impossible to kill higher level raptors without a bola. If they do start running bola them and it shouldn’t take over 5 tranq arrows to the head to kill them.
I encountered a lvl 100 and only used about four tranq arrows out of a crossbow before he went unconscious
The raptor being a fast predator.Make sure you have bola’s such as 2 or 3 depending on how many raptors there are.Make sure to have a slingshot bow or 2 to 3 clubs.
If you don’t have a bola try either running to deep water and swimming away until they turn back to shore or run to a large creature like a stego or trike and hope they bother it instead of you while you make your escape.
When you see one of these bastards lead that raptor and or it’s pals to a boulder that they can’t get up and stand on the rock and lite em up!
It says that you’ll need 3 kibble, but for taming a lvl 13 I only needed one. Don’t tame one that’s surrounded by many other raptors, find a loner and just bola it.
Raptors are a good and easy to tame mount for starter players just have bolas and you will be fine in taming. If your playing Ragnarok and looking for one try up near the alpha plateau or in jungle.
Throw a bola around it’s legs watch out for the pack then shoot the damn thing in the head with tranq arrows.
As if Raptors weren't annoying enough for low level players, they got a tlc that allows them to seal your fate with a leap and pin. If they aggro on to you before you can get bolas, you're just dead. There is no running, just acceptance.
I haven’t done this personally but do this: tame 4-5 high level dilos pumped with mainly speed and heath, a little bit of speed, keep them all ob passive, find ONE raptor, aggro it, it rubs in a straight line, bola it, knock it out, set your dilos to attack your target, raptors run in groups, dilos are the 3rd MVP ( second being raptors and first being triceratops ) and feed it meat, or para kibble
Raptors are deadly one of the fastest Dino’s ever don’t lose sight of them bring bear trap or bola and KO arrows I found one and tamed it easily level 46 than I bro
ught it back to my base and than a alpha came and my raptor killed it! That thing is a life saver
