Tek Raptor
Knock the Tek Raptor unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Tek Raptor at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Tek Raptor sedated throughout taming. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. With Torpor draining at 0.1/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Tek Raptor: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 9m 57s
Food to consume through starvation: 597
Target food level: 3603
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Tek Raptor as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
The Tek Raptor has 200 base Health - relatively fragile. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Its base Stamina of 150 gives it moderate endurance. It carries 140 base Weight - a reasonable inventory size.
To tame the Tek Raptor, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Tek Raptor is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 20°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Tek Raptor is worth 3 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Tek Raptor at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Tek Raptor first with Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
