X-Raptor
Variant
Overview
The X-Raptor is a carnivorous variant creature from the Genesis: Part 1 expansion. It features a compact build with a 5% increase to Melee Damage and a 3% reduction in Health compared to standard Raptors.
It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Kaprosuchus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment. This makes it ideal for fast, aggressive hit-and-run tactics in raid scenarios or remote hunting zones.
Spawn Locations
X-Raptor does not currently spawn on any ARK: Survival Ascended map, or spawn data is not yet available.
The X-Raptor must be knocked out before taming. Use a Bola, Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y to immobilize it first.
The best food is Simple Kibble, which provides the fastest taming. Raw Mutton also works well if kibble is unavailable. Use Tranq Arrows from a Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow for sedation.
Taming takes around 10 minutes and requires no Narcotics at level 150 on official settings. Use the calculator below for your settings.
| Food | Qty | Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
 Simple KibbleBest | 4 | 5:41 | 74 Lvl (224) |
 Raw Mutton | 7 | 5:51 | 73 Lvl (223) |
 Raw Prime Meat | 9 | 7:31 | 73 Lvl (223) |
 Cooked Lamb Chop | 13 | 10:50 | 71 Lvl (221) |
 Raw Meat | 26 | 21:41 | 62 Lvl (212) |

Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing an X-Raptor yields Hide and Raw Meat. The Hatchet yields the most Hide, while the Pick maximizes Raw Meat.
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
The X-Raptor has a +120% weakness to damage from Instant HurtDinos, making it highly vulnerable to certain automated defenses. It resists Melee WithProjectileImpactFX and Ranged Turret Small DefensePlant by 50%. It also resists MiningDrill Harvest completely. Level Health and Melee Damage to offset its fragility in combat.
