Dude, I was having such a hard time with the trap design I was using! This is brilliant! I think you're the first Ark TH-camr I've seen to use triangle structures so well!
Before I watch the video, just want to thank you in advance!! I’ve been planning on setting up a base in Ab just to tame reapers and I know this video will be the best way to trap them. Thank you!!
This is why you're my favorite TH-camr. Right when I what to go to Aberration, you make a guide for something I wanted to do, but didn't know how. Thank you Captain
@@captainfatdog It doesn't work anymore. I placed my trap in an awful place, but I already got 6 reapers using it. But now the reapers stand in the air somehow (probably standing on something) and then they jump 50 feet in the air or just run through the trap. Was the reaper queen hitbox enlarged or something, because I want a red event reaper, but it's so hard to get them without the trap.
@@captainfatdog I'm pretty sure, because it's the same trap I used to get reapers in October and December of 2020, and while some despawned, I was able to effectively trap all of them at least once (one stayed in there for 5 impregnations). Edit: November not October
Can confirm it works like a charm. It might go over the trap a few times but you can always just lead ot back around. And its definitely better than building an expensive trap. Thank you my friend!
Thinking of going in for my very first reaper, this looks like a great trap to go with! I've been utilizing some of your designs such as the rock golem one (which I used recently, v2 of course) and they worked like a charm. Hoping it goes well! :)
Didn't work out for me, thought I had the reaper trapped but it turned out she was just standing on top of it. I built it exactly as you showed in the video, except I had substituted the stairs with the S+ ramp (as the stairs don't show up in my tek replicator for whatever reason, maybe because it's also S+). Could it be possible it didn't work because I used ramps and not stairs?
@@captainfatdog Hey, tried the trap again yesterday, this time with the stairs instead of the s+ ramp. Exact same issue cropped up, despite building the trap exactly as you showed. Every time I tried to lure a reaper queen into it, she consistently stayed on top of the triangle ceilings placed at the top of the stairs instead of falling through and standing on the foundations as the video showed, so I ended up tearing down the upper part of the trap and resorted to an improvised cage with more foundations and 3-high double doorframes (which worked, but probably isn't cheap lol). Wondering if the hitbox of either the reaper or the structures was adjusted after the video. Would you be able to test the trap again to confirm its functionality? If it helps, it was on an unofficial multiplayer server. Other than that I love your traps and they work great otherwise, just this one seemed to not work as I hoped lol.
@@MissingnoUploader I tested it recently on stream, you can see it in my streams playlist. It must be some kind of modification that's been made on the server you are playing on, no idea what though, it's anyones guess.
@@captainfatdog Aight, fair enough. The server does include a variety of mods including stuff like KBD so something probably modified the reapers' hitbox or something. Thanks haha, I did manage to find a workaround so it's all good.
The fact that you tell us what we need to build the trap is perfect almost all these other videos nobody list what they used you literally have just assumed what they have and I often come up short I gave you a sub I'm going to see what else you got
Another good one for the books Cap. For those waiting for the space whale trap. Rumor has it Cap is still working on timing the throw of a titanosaur poop on the whale's head to stun it long enough to knock it out with a slingshot for 100% efficiency. Or something so ridiculously simple. But no confirmation of such rumor exists...yet...
Yesterday with my tribe we tried to tame a reaper with ur trap, and it worked perfectly and all thanks to u. Your traps are amazin, we tamed karkinos with ur traps too. Really thanks ur so good 👍👍🔥💪
It needs some stuff lil bit more than 4 dino gates, but it is really better than that one. Even though Reaper queen missed the shot by some reason she still there and she will give you a chance again and again. And it is easy to build and easy to trap her. You are amazing captin!
Just asking can you put the baby reaper king inside a cryopod? Cos if yes then it could be a good way to save the baby from starving to death if you din't get enough food for it and stuff.
Heads up/warning when using this trap. For some reason it can cause you to get clipped out of her grab when she tries to impregnate you. Happened to me 4 times out of 5, but the trap stops her from burrowing after so you can just keep trying.
Depending on where you build this you might want to lower the foundations a little. when she grabs you, you might glitch out cuz the foundations are to high. just a fyi.
Man your traps are the best and I should know since I'vebeen playing for a good while and always been the tamer/breeder/scout(i have a habit of walking/flying into bases don't judge, either way i have found a lot of bases by running into em...) I used to use some old designs i had but then saw your vids and was like "aight might as well give em a go" holy cow did it make taming so much easier,thanks so much :)
had to adjust slightly, put another set of double door frames up above and next to the others up their so its like a comb, to stop the reaper form just stepping over the middle gap bit
just tested it and here is my experience with the trap 1. Works great, reaper gets trapped as intended 2. Drake can just slide through the trap while luring the reaper, which is good 3. In some cases, the Queen Reaper can still burrow away after impregnating so you have to add more foundation I rate it 9.8/10
Best thing about this trap is you can kill the reaper queen after being impregnated, which will give your reaper baby more XP and possibly pheromone glands
@@Ten_Co_Jajami_dzwoni So in theory, the trap still works IF you add another, identical layer of those three triangle roofs on either side, above the layer that's already there. However, the AI is now a little too smart for this trap is what the problem is. She will still try to avoid the structures :[
Thanks. Just out of interest, do you play PvE or PvP? Reason I ask is that I believe the space whale is only being used by a quite specific audience, that's why it's not been much of a priority for me. It is on the to-do list though.

Yuuuss! Fantastic to see this beauty come to video. Absolutely nailed the edit buddy.
Cheers dude :D

Thank you :D

That's great, thanks!
Great vid! The agro detail is something that some players doesnt know, TY for adding it!
Thanks! Aye, I figured I better put that in there otherwise they will tell me I've made a faulty trap!
Right! I’ve played the game since legacy and still didn’t know the whip agro method
Ayyy after a long time it’s nice to see some quality traps and shit again hopefully will see more stuff soon
Cheers grape, hopefully going to get back into the swing of things now!
You know Its a good video when the Video is below 7 Minutes
True
Yup
💯
True
Ahem 37
I was trying to do it just now but I didn’t know it could pull you off your mount!
Thanks. The trap works perfectly
Awesome!
I died so many times before understand that she could pull you off from the mount!
These buildings are great. Can only imagine all the testing involved.
Testing evolved xD
I was too scared to go get impregnated, but this gave me all of the courage that I need to get my first reaper
Glad to hear it, you got this!
No man is ever ready to get pregnant bruh..

Yo fatdog, thanks so much for making these videos. you've made such a great impact on ark players, making all of our lives easier. thank you!
I'm glad to hear that Noah, thank you
captain fatdog - ARK Building appreciate the argy trap I’ve trapped hundreds of argys/griffins with it
i'm reading this 9 monts later, so... hows the baby doing ?
Just wanted to say thank you! This trap was easy to build and it worked! I’m now a proud father of a Reaper!
The ending was hilarious man. Just found your channel today. I love em all man ahah
Thanks :D
Can confirm it works like a charm. It might go over the trap a few times but you can always just lead ot back around. And its definitely better than building an expensive trap. Thank you my friend!
Ladies and gentlemen the cap has done it again beautiful design thank you for all you do sir
Always great to see another awesome video from you
Your production quality is amazing wow wtf how are u doing this just amazing
Thanks :)

Thanks :D
The Wizard strikes again.... minimal but very effective. Love the content as always Captain.
Hey Lava! It's been a while, how are you doing man?
I have been needing one of these cheaper reaper traps for a while! Nice one. Definitely gonna try this out.
lets me be honest here fatdogs thumbnails is like the best thing about his vid it feels so creative dont know why.
Glad you like them :)

FatDog : "Hi i'm gonna show you how to rise multiple Reapers"
Rockwell : "Wait...that's illegual! Oo"
Este tipo de videos son los que se necesitan cortos y sustanciosos, no un video de 2 horas de como se doméstica un bulldog 😂
Awesome as always captain. I'm gonna try this trap asap.
When coming back from a break from ark, ALWAYS watch captain fat dog again, it makes life so much easier :D
Trap worked perfectly! Got my first reaper thx!
You da man Fatdog 🤜🤛
Thank you for your humble genius 👍
I just love the function and the design of this* trap*! It's gonna be so cool for our little tribe!
Had to add two double doorframes to prevent queens from jumping over the trap, but now it works really well, thx!
I also noticed that a couple more foundations are needed to ensure that no Queen escapes.
I used it before without a problem, but last night I had the same issues and came to the same fixes.
@@ruhtroh8431where would you build them?

Been waiting for this, ty!
Just asking can you put the baby reaper king inside a cryopod? Cos if yes then it could be a good way to save the baby from starving to death if you din't get enough food for it and stuff.
Thanks fatdog you are the greatest arkhitect I've ever seen see your traps all over the game..
Thanks, it's crazy to see my traps all the time when I play!
Cheap, effective, can be used by the public, and not a giant eyesore. These are how traps are suppose to be designed. Great job.
Thanks, glad you like it :)
Ty for the guide it helped me with those reapers who like to be wimps and bury under ground thank you captain fatdog
Another great video didn't expect less

Saved my life!!!! Very thanks!!!!

your trap videos are the best, helps a lot
You’re traps are awesome and efficient! Thanks! 👍
Trap worked amazingly😎
My only problem with was whenever I set it up all the hoes disappeared 😭
Man your traps are the best and I should know since I'vebeen playing for a good while and always been the tamer/breeder/scout(i have a habit of walking/flying into bases don't judge, either way i have found a lot of bases by running into em...)

Need updated trap for these ty champ luve ya videos
excellent AND entertaining video my friend! haha loved it!
Thanks pumpkin :D
Nice, you did it. Btw we are waiting so long but it is worth :)
had to adjust slightly, put another set of double door frames up above and next to the others up their so its like a comb, to stop the reaper form just stepping over the middle gap bit
Super helpful bro I was looking for a cheaper alternative ♥️
Bravo Captain bravo! As always you deliver such sublime design brilliance. :)
Thanks Adam :)
just tested it and here is my experience with the trap
1. Works great, reaper gets trapped as intended
2. Drake can just slide through the trap while luring the reaper, which is good
3. In some cases, the Queen Reaper can still burrow away after impregnating so you have to add more foundation
I rate it 9.8/10
Thanks for the feedback, I might have to try making an improved on at some point.
Nothing but the best from the trap king
rock drake stats?
Thanks great video trying to get my first reaper
It was just a spawned drake for demonstration purposes in single player.
Just got my first two Reaper in my solo Ab server! Cheers!
You are unbelievable underrated
Good trap but I would add more triangle foundation so reaper can stay flat cause when it’s crooked and impregnates you it glitches you
Thank you for this, not too long but well made
I just finished learning how to build a fishing raft trap and i trapped my first level 130 shadow mane. Your tips really help
idk why people are saying that the trap doesn't work, worked fine for me and 2 friends. got ourselves 3 reapers :)
man this is great trap really very cheap not like others, subs for sure
Best thing about this trap is you can kill the reaper queen after being impregnated, which will give your reaper baby more XP and possibly pheromone glands
Perfect trap vid new sub! Love the googley eye lmao
Thanks :)
Great video and very nice edits

Great vid you really helped me out i was suffering to trap one
Any basilisk tips/traps/ideas?

Hey man, thanks for the trap, it works super well. Only issue I've been having is the Queens keep dropping me, any way to fix that?

Yutyrannus trap with filter for the carnos next!
That's an interesting idea 🤔
I love the google eyes....great trap... but now we need a reaper google eyes costume.
Thanks crabby. Haha, yes we do!
To make process faster you could use Light Gun(idk how it's called) and Ballista
Captain Fatdog had the best traps wow how do you come up with these
It can borrow out
best trap i have ever used
Awesome!
Gotta say love your traps man used an use your krabs trap still! Does this trap keep the reaper from burrowing?
Thanks! Yes, as long as the reaper is on foundations it won't burrow.
@@captainfatdog yea I had it burrow at first but I just made a new trap and made plenty of extra foundations it deff works...great trap man!
