Utility Tips

What is a raptor used for? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Mobile players, be warned! There is a chance when using the pounce ability with your raptor on an extremely small target (cough, meganeura cough) or when pouncing into a tree the game can glitch and land u in the northern part of the redwood biome! (very possibly coordinated at 50 50- the same coordinates a wild quetzal will eventually reach and stay in if it's startled.) So far it has happened three times to me, all when I was in the south of the island. So far i still don't know exactly what triggers the teleport So it's more a nuisance than utility. The glitch will deposit u in the sky So ur raptor will take fall damage and will be left to face all the threats of the redwood. Because of this i recommend either do not use pounce too much in the southern regions of the island or make sure ur raptor is not very heavily burdened. (So it can fight or run if needed) It is not a life threatening glitch, my raptor survived all three teleports and made its way safely back to the pack at the southern coast, but it is annoying and might disrupt ur plans. So, just bear that in mind. I hope this helps.

This is the best mount for a survivor. They can kill stuff really easily cause they have so much damage and health and they are super fast so if you attack a really strong Dino you can run away and they can transport you to a destination really far away, really fast and it doesn't take long to tame! They're great!
