Baby: The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

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.
More about breeding the Attack Drone
Breeding the Attack Drone produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 29°C and 32°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 39 minutes.
After hatching or birth, the baby Attack Drone matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 2 days and 6 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 ~327 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~22h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~27h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Attack Drone gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.
Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Attack Drone babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~327 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Attack Drone raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.
In ARK: Survival Ascended, the Attack Drone is a boss-tier enemy encountered during an arena battle.
With 250 base Stamina, the Attack Drone has moderate endurance. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. Health-wise, the Attack Drone sits at 585 base, making it reasonably durable. Weight capacity starts at 280, giving it a solid weight pool.
As a tame, the Attack Drone is a powerful boss creature encountered in a dedicated arena fight. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 29°C–32°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
