RAPTOR RIDING
Wrangling a raptor sounds fun… but what do you do once you’ve captured one? Jump on for one heck of a ride, as now you can ride raptors in Save the World! Hold on, though, because while riding a raptor you’ll have the ability to perform extraordinarily high jumps.

PRIMAL WEAPON PERKS
This Perk is intrinsic to all Primal Weapons:
- While a Primal weapon is held, wildlife will not attack you unless provoked.
- Known Issue: If you attack an animal, all animals of that type will attack for the remainder of the mission. We’re working on a fix for this, so that only the animal you hurt and pack members in the immediate vicinity will turn on you.… and they feature a new set of Core Perks:
- The weapon will deal +30% bonus damage to targets above 85% Health.
- Eliminating a Mist Monster using a Primal weapon activates Frenzy, giving the player and their tamed pet 25% bonus move speed and attack speed for 12 seconds.
