VR Enforcer
After hatching or birth, the baby VR Enforcer matures over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 hours at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the VR Enforcer's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

Planning a mass raise? The VR Enforcer raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
Raising multiple VR Enforcer simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the VR Enforcer as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
With 450 base Stamina, the VR Enforcer has good endurance. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. At 375 base HP, the VR Enforcer is moderately tough. It carries 800 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.
To tame the VR Enforcer, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Element Dust for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the VR Enforcer is best used as a pack animal, hauling large amounts of resources between locations. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
