X-Raptor
To tame the X-Raptor, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. The X-Raptor loses Torpor at 0.1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the X-Raptor, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the X-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.
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the X-Raptor. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the X-Raptor first with Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Argentavis to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 9m 57s

The X-Raptor, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It falls within the Variant classification.
With 194 base Health, the X-Raptor is not particularly tanky. With 105% base Melee Damage, the X-Raptor has respectable melee power. Its base Stamina of 150 gives it moderate endurance. It carries 140 base Weight - modest carrying capacity.
Taming the X-Raptor requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the X-Raptor is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 20°C and 28°C. Killing a wild X-Raptor yields 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
