Utility Tips

What is a raptor used for? raptor utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Can wildcard PLEASE make the alpha raptors in ark evolved not go at the speed of light? Like actually though. Me and my lvl 204 kapro were exploring in a PvP server and since it’s a server a bunch of alphas spawn everywhere. Because not enough people kill them so they live on. And in far too inland and an alpha raptors appears out of nowhere and starts killing me. I jumped as hard as I could to get to water but o ran out of stamina and we both died.
RIP Betsy the kapro.
She had 305. Dmg too 🥲
Speedy, deadly and agile the raptir is the perfect mount for getting around the island if you have just started playing ark. The saddle for the raptor is unlocked at lvl18. Raptors efficiently kill small dinosaurs, and can even kill a trike. Once upgraded they can take on low level Carnotauruses.
uses for pvp:
early game protection: raptors are decently strong, and a pack can take down threats much larger than itself.
Raiding? you bet! : This Tactic Will require two players on a tribe.
the first player pounces the player you are raiding.
the second player starts tranquilizing the player you are raiding.
the pounce will not let the raid target move, nor attack. the tranqs are to render this effect permanent. (cuz he'll be knocked out)
mid game uses: not a whole lot they are good for... backup mounts is what i use them for.
late game: ... what? you thought there would be a use late game? yeah right.
This dino is fast, like very fast, and deals a decent amount of damage for how easily it is to get. They do have a poor weight stat, so make sure to store heavier minerals in another tame or storage. Saddle at engram level 18 means its one of the earliest tamed you can really get, cannot go wrong with the raptor.
On mobile a taming two of three of these and leveling them up will allow you to take almost anything. Keep their inv full of food and their health basically never goes down. One of the best tames I’ve found because they’re speedy killers and regain Health at unheard of speeds
