X-Raptor
X-Raptor Overview
Survivors looking at X-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 105% base Melee Damage, giving it respectable melee power to the table. Breeding pairs lay fertilized eggs requiring 20°C–28°C incubation, after which juveniles reach adulthood slowly. Survivors lean on it to gather Hide, Raw Meat at much higher rates than hand tools. Players target X-Raptor once they need a reliable workhorse beyond the starter mounts.
