What is a raptor used for? raptor utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The reasons that you should tame this thing, number one: these things are super fast, and if you get the red bandanna, they are literally faster than an iguanodon which is very fast! reason number two: this thing is an absolute beast. It can pounce on stuff when it ever does it when it’s tamed normally, it only doesn’t when it’s wild. reason number three: if you tame another raptor, you’re original raptor if it is a higher level will become an alpha raptor, which means that you can have a pet alpha raptor which alpha raptors can kill Stegos giant turtle, and even two raptors! so, if you have a raptor, you better work on taming another!!!
Raptors have extremely high dps and are amazing at harvesting meat and hide. Their secondary attack is a pounce attack which immobilizes creature up to the size of moschops. They are great in packs as they have a pack buff and the leader can do a call which makes then even stronger. However their stamina and weight is horrendous
Okay well where can I find a lone raptor to tame every time I find a raptor to tame they are always in packs for example yesterday I was walking up north 1 mountain (I like to call it rex mountain because that was the first place I saw/was killed by a rex)when I saw a lone raptor or so I thought it came after me I hit with my picaxe but another raptor came out of nowhere and attacked me I ran away but halfway down the mountain a blue raptor pinned me to the ground I tried to push it off but it ate me so where can I find lone raptors with no packs press up if you think there is none press down if you have seen one?
A really funny thing you can do with alpha raptors is to lure one to a bronto using an argy or other strong flyer, make it deal like a few hundred damage to it, then fly away and get some popcorn as you watch the bronto try to attack the alpha raptor while the alpha raptor is minding its own business wandering or killing another dino. The more damage the bronto takes the longer it will attempt to attack the alpha raptor.
This happens because raptors don't attack brontos, and wild brontos can't damage alpha raptors.
