What is a raptor used for? raptor battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
WARNING: Although amazing (and I should know, trying to make a pack of 5) they can, if caught off guard or separated, can and WILL be killed.. I’m talking about piranhas and other raptors (learnt it the hard way RIP).. Remember to watch for mega piranhas when in deep water, they can make quick work of low level tamed raptors...
It's their availability that makes them good tames. They're found all over the place, have poor torpor tolerance, and are quick tames. You can quickly and easily build a huge legion of these guys to take on virtually anything. My pack of around 10-12 once shred a wild rex in seconds. Its corpse didn't even get to hit the ground. They're expendable but fast and strong, a perfect footsoldier.
These are possibly one of the best games in the game (I’m not saying as in its as powerful as a giga but it’s easy to tame and useful for killing dinos) The pounce attack it noice, and you can kill off every carbo and trike on a beach with one of these things. These are too powerful 😂 #don’tnerftheraptorcuzIneedthisinmylife
If you’re a beginner,
Like me.
Tame four Raptors and you can kill almost anything,
So you could go on long voyages without worrying too much.
No Rex’s or Alpha anything, and you should be fine.
just be careful, and make sure to check their health after a possible close call,
I made that mistake once,
Regretted it.
Also I recommend tranq arrows instead of bola, but I might be using the bola wrong,
So don’t take my word for it.
Though I will mention, Raptors cannot hold that much weight.
unless you tame something that can keep up with the rappers and hold a bit of weight,
(Maybe a Parasaur,
but I haven’t tamed one yet.)
Pack light, and don’t intend on taking too much home.
So this is Utahraptor.
Not enough raptors, we need Dromaeosaurus, Pyroraptor, and Dakotaraptor. These variants are rarer, a tiny bit less strong, and smaller except the Dakotaraptor, although I want them to have unique abilities. Dromaeosaurus should have a “latch on” ability, Pyroraptor should breath and light up a flammable gas to make it look like it’s breathing fire, and Dakotaraptor should be more cautious, curious, and patient than our regular Utahraptor, as it is big as the Utahraptor.
Dromaeosaurus = Small
Pyroraptor = A little bit smaller than Utahraptor (Rideable)
Dakotaraptor = Bigger as Utahraptor (Rideable)
Up if you want these to be added!
