Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the VR Raptor based on your settings.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the VR Raptor at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the VR Raptor first with Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the VR 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 0.3/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.

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

With 150 base Stamina, the VR Raptor has average stamina. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. The VR Raptor has 200 base Health - relatively fragile. A base Weight of 140 means a reasonable inventory size.

The VR Raptor 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 VR Raptor fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 20°C–28°C temperature window. A wild VR Raptor 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.
