More about taming the Aberrant Raptor
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Raptor based on your settings.
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Aberrant Raptor across various creature levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Aberrant Raptor first with Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Argentavis to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Aberrant Raptor unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
The Aberrant Raptor, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.
Stamina sits at 150 base, providing average stamina. With 106% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Raptor has solid damage output. Starting at 192 Health, it's not particularly tanky. A base Weight of 140 means modest carrying capacity.
You'll need to knock the Aberrant Raptor unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Aberrant Raptor is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 20°C and 28°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
