After a successful mate, the VR Rex lays a fertilized egg.Incubation temperature must stay between 32°C and 34°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range.At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~3 days and 20 hours (1x rate), progressing over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game.Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation.After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change.Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Raising a baby VR Rex involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses.At 100% imprint, the VR Rex gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter.You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the VR Rex.Budget ~556 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Raising multiple VR Rex simultaneously?Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically.Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

Found throughout the ARKs, the VR Rex is a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.It falls within the Variant classification.

Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the VR Rex brings decent hitting power to the table.Starting at 1,100 Health, it's solidly tanky.Stamina sits at 420 base, providing respectable staying power.It carries 500 base Weight - an enormous weight pool.

The VR Rex cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance.It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 32°C and 34°C.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.87 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
