What is a raptor used for? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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.
These things are beasts, and relatively easy to tame too. Just a small pack of around 2-4 can take on a medium-high level carno, have decent hp, make for a fast mount, have a pounce attack that works on most things smaller than it, and also a pack buff. Also will slow spoil timers for meat in their inventory, and all this is before considering imprinting or stat mutations.
