Fortnite’s new Primal season adds wildlife to the battle royale experience, including raptors roaming the island which can be hunted or tamed.
When Fortnite Season 6 arrived, animals were added to the game. You can either kill them to gather resources for weapon crafting or tame them. Up until now, there have only been chickens, boars, and wolves to tame. However, raptors have been added into Fortnite in the most recent update, and sure enough, they too can be tamed. And who doesn’t want a raptor for a pet? I mean, really.
Fortnite Season 6: Dinosaur eggs are finally starting to hatch
Similar to the other animals, raptors do not always spawn in the same locations, meaning you may have to do some searching. It appears that some are spawning near their hatched eggs and there have been reports of raptors roaming around Boney Burbs. To tame a raptor, you will have to kill an animal and pick up the meat that they drop. Once you have spotted a raptor, throw the meat down near it and stay hidden. Once the animal has been distracted by the meat, you can run up to it and tame it.
Staying hidden from nearby raptors
It is important to note that if you are spotted by a raptor, they will let out a screech to alert other dinosaurs to your position. Therefore, you may want to find weapons before approaching them in case you get into some trouble. Also, you can use the Hunter’s Cloak to your advantage when attempting to tame a raptor in Fortnite. Once crafted, the Hunter’s Cloak will allow you to remain undetected from the animals that are dotted around the map.
As they are brand new to the game, raptors will definitely be a popular animal in Fortnite Season 6. In addition, they are quite deadly if you get one on your side. It will be interesting to see if Epic Games has further plans to release any more animals into the battle royale.
Raptors are now available in Fortnite Season 6. Here’s where to find and tame the new creatures.
The Fortnite v16.10 update brought a new form of wildlife to Fortnite: Raptors. These predators are now roaming the island, looking for blood. Of course, you can tame these dinosaurs to fight by your side. Unfortunately, you can’t ride them, but they can be a huge help when it comes to combat. Here’s everything you need to know.
Fortnite Raptor locations
Unsurprisingly, Raptors spawn around the areas where their eggs hatched. You can find them around Stealthy Stronghold, outside of Craggy Cliffs, south of The Spire, and south of Misty Meadows. Raptors spawn in pairs and are stronger than wolves when you fight them. This is not to say that taking them down will be difficult. We’re not dealing with Marauders, here. Here’s a map of all of the known Raptor spawns in Fortnite Season 6. We’ll update this map if the spawns change or if players find more locations.
How to tame a Raptor in Fortnite
Taming a Raptor is the same as taming most of the other wildlife on the island. It will be the same process as taming a Wolf – arguably easier as wolves spawn in packs rather than pairs.
1.Eliminate a Wolf, Chicken, or Boar for its meat
2.Find a Raptor
3.Throw the meat at its feat and wait for the Raptor to eat
4.Walk up to the Raptor and hold “Interact” to tame.
Be careful, as Raptors spawn in pairs. Just because you tame one, doesn’t mean its partner doesn’t still want to eat you.
