The TLC update has made these things even more of a pain in the butt, they pin you now. If you have low health, raptors will literally eat your face off. My advice is to hope you have enough stamina and movement speed to outrun them, otherwise you can't do much else.

With the new pounce ability added in the Tlc patch you'll have to punch them to get them off or they will kill you. If not then just make sure you are faster than them, or bola your mate.

WATCH OUT! With the new update they have a pack bonus like allos and wolves the leader has a orange/red glow to them. They can even jump on top of you hand eat you alive they can even knock you off your bird so watch out these guys got a whole lot tougher.

Tamed a level 150 with raw meat killed a rex and 2 carnos together only go for high levels underrated

Good tame for lower levels. I would level up speed,damage,and stamina. That way it can run fast and long, and able to kill easier. It's good for meat and hide runs.

In my opinion the best early tame, just use a bóla and knock them out with a club or slingshot. Repeat and you have a pack of them. Also the saddle is only lvl 18.

I tamed a 200 on a boosted server x6 tame x4 gather and it got to a very high level super good tame

Don't miss with the Bola use prime meat

Just for fun and to eliminate boredom, I have prime meat tamed 10-12 135+ raptors. So, they are not maxed stats or anything. I ride through redwood, eating everything we pass. Whistle attacking a 150 car no and watching it disappear in seconds is a blast. :) make them all the highest quality saddles you can, for armor, as well. Even better. I think I will get some kibble and perfect tame some 150s, then breed super raptors. Not going to kill tamed rexes, but definitely fun.

When using wood doorframes in aberration put doors on the so raptor doesn't escape dodo rex says the can't fit through but the can in aberration.

When you located a raptor run come back when you lvl 10 or whatever lvl u get slingshot bola it fast if you don't your dead meat literally

When your settled and can't get meat for your tribe you should go out on foot bring bolas slingshot at least 50 rocks and knock it out no kibble it waste of time then your probs are resolved well not your water issue

Taming a raptor

Find a raptor use bola to immobalize then start shooting it when knocked out put narcotic in inventory go through the process and you now have a great beginner mount

They are amazing in a group but by themselves they die easily

Good for taking out other dinos

I have a taming pen 2 walls high and if you have an argy it saves from needing bolas. Drop it in the pen and trank there

Great low-level tame. Spawn frequently on south end of island. Use a crossbow with tranq arrow and shoot them in the head, instant knockout for levels 1-25. They usually spawn near diplodaucus and paracer, so bring one down for some quick tame prime meat. Once you have a saddle, use it for fast movement. They run faster than most anything so you don't have to wear any armor. I advise wearing cloth because its lightweight. Attacks fast, so you only really have to increase weight and stamina, or speed if you're like me and want to cross the map very quickly without beds.

These guys are usually in groups. With a bola it's an easy tame, when tamed it is a early killing machine

Raptors are like hired killers you hire them by feeding them and they kill things for you

Don’t be ashamed in owning a couple as a level 100 player. I own two - and just by themselves, they are killing machines. Also great for exploring and fast land transportation!!!
