It excels at rapid deployment and structural damage, making it a potent raiding companion in Tek-tier conflicts. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.
It is frequently used to breach enemy bases due to its high melee damage against structures and resistance to certain damage types.

Tame the Tek Raptor using the knockout method. The best food is Simple Kibble, which provides the fastest taming effectiveness. Raw Mutton also works well, offering nearly half the affinity of Simple Kibble. Use a Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it before sedation. Effective knockout tools include the Bow with Tranq Arrows, the Longneck Rifle with Tranquilizer Darts, or the Tek Bow. The process takes about 10 minutes and requires no Narcotics.
