The Raptor RV is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.

The Raptor RV has 200 base Health - not particularly tanky. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. With 150 base Stamina, the Raptor RV has decent staying power. A base Weight of 140 means average weight tolerance.

The Raptor RV is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Raptor RV can serve multiple roles depending on how you level its stats after taming. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 20°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Raptor RV 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.

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Raptor RV 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 0.3/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.

The Raptor RV is a knockout tame - render it unconscious with torpor weapons like Tranq Arrows or Shocking Tranq Darts, then feed it while it's down. Torpor bleeds at 0.3/s, requiring regular sedative application to prevent a premature wakeup.
