If you have 10 of these things tamed, they can easily overwhelm creatures larger than themselves such as Brontos or Paraceratherium. Just don’t expect them to be able to handle a Titanosaur without some extensive breeding for strength and resilience, cuz leveling them alone will otherwise take nearly forever, and even if you level them high, breed and then kill the old ones after hatching a male and a female to leave room for more, you’ll still have to put in a lot of dedication to nearly go that far. Your better off doing the same thing with Brontos if you wanna get even if only nearly that far, but it doesn’t change the fact that tamed Raptors can take out creatures larger themselves in groups, possibly even a Rex if your tamed Raptor group is large enough. Gigantosaurus however? You probably wouldn’t be able to have them survive even if you used all 40 of your tame slots for Raptors and leveled each one to be as resilient as possible. Although, that would most certainly be a perfect storm for plenty of other things...
I was so happy when I tamed my first raptor named Blue. Me and him did everything together until the day I took him on a boating trip. At that time, I was a noob and didn’t know other creatures could attack my tamed on a boat. Long story short, a sarco and baronynx came up and killed him. To any other noobs in the game, I strongly urge you not to bring your tamed on a boat.
Left click is the ordinary button for the attack and right click is the pounce, and the c attack can be used in a pack with more than 2 raptors, the raptor pack call buff lasts 45 seconds and the pack buff can increase attack speed, damage output, resistance to damage and movement speed, would recommend using the pack buff when your in a tight situation, would recommend for small boss fights just use ascendant raptor saddle above 250 armor points and leveling health and melee
Raptors on their on can take down some medium sized dinos, but in packs you can take down dinos like trikes and stegos, and if you have enough high level raptors, a therizino or a rex! Use the raptor for general defense before you get better tames like the baryonx and the carnotaurus!
