Tek Raptor
Tek Raptor Overview
Survivors looking at Tek Raptor 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 Simple Kibble as its top-tier food, and brings 100% base Melee Damage, giving it respectable melee power to the table. It reproduces by laying fertilized eggs that incubate between 20°C and 28°C, with babies maturing requiring significant patience. Survivors lean on it to gather Scrap Metal, Electronics, Oil along with several other resources at much higher rates than hand tools. It earns its place in the stable for survivors looking to graduate from early-game tames.
