Tek Raptor
Variant
Overview
The Tek Raptor is a small carnivorous variant of the Raptor, distinguished by its advanced Tek biology. It excels at harvesting high-tier resources and reducing inventory weight for efficient transport. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Kaprosuchus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment across the map.
Spawn Locations
Tek Raptor does not currently spawn on any ARK: Survival Ascended map, or spawn data is not yet available.
Tek Raptor must be knocked out before taming. Use a Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it, then apply tranquilizers from a Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow using Tranq Arrows. Simple Kibble is the best food. Raw Mutton also works well. Taming takes about 10 minutes with Simple Kibble and requires no Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.
| Food | Qty | Time | Effectiveness |

 Simple KibbleBest | 7 | 9:57 | 73 Lvl (223) |
 Raw Mutton | 14 | 11:41 | 70 Lvl (220) |

Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing a Tek Raptor yields Scrap Metal, Electronics, Oil, and Element Dust. The Pick is the best tool for harvesting all of these resources.
| Resource |  Pick |  Hatchet |
|---|---|---|
| 60%~4~3 hits | 40%~2~2 hits | |
| 60%~4~3 hits | 40%~2~2 hits | |
| 60%~4~3 hits | 40%~2~2 hits | |
| 60%~4~3 hits | 40%~2~2 hits |
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
Damage Resistances
Tek Raptor has a +120% weakness to Instant HurtDinos, making it highly vulnerable to instant-damage sources. It resists Melee Dino Herbivore damage by 40%. Spike walls and explosive turrets exploit its +50% weakness to explosion damage. Level Health and Melee Damage for combat viability.
