Ravager
Ravager Overview
Survivors looking at Ravager in ARK: Survival Ascended will find a land-based carnivore that is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It is a carnivore tamed through knockout taming, with Raw Mutton as its top-tier food, and brings 500 base Weight, providing an enormous weight pool to the table. Reproduction is by live birth following gestation; juveniles mature slowly. Survivors lean on it to gather Hide, Raw Meat, Pelt at much higher rates than hand tools. It earns its place in the stable for survivors looking to graduate from early-game tames.
