Drops & Harvest Resources

You can gather Hide, Raw Prime Meat from a Alpha Raptor corpse. The corpse has 450 harvest health, allowing multiple hits before it's fully depleted.

Different tools yield different quantities - check the table below to pick the right tool for the resource you need. Generally, a Pick favors meat while a Hatchet favors hide and secondary materials.
