Calculate expected resource yield per node for any dino. Select a node type and harvester.
Each hit on a node generates resource drops. The game randomly picks a resource from the loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the node faster, which can reduce total drops. The "best" melee is where you get the most drops.
Compare dino harvest yields from creature corpses. Select a corpse and up to 3 harvesters to compare.
Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.
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.
