Gigantoraptor Saddle — Detailed Guide
Riding and nursing with the Gigantoraptor
The Gigantoraptor Saddle is what lets a tamed 
Gigantoraptor carry a rider in ARK: Survival Ascended. The game keeps it brief: "Equip a Gigantoraptor with this to ride it." On the ARK Wiki, 35.11 is given as the version that added it.
Unlocking and crafting the saddle
The engram opens at level 69 and costs 40 engram points; crafting also requires level 69. One saddle takes 10 seconds to make, grants 22.2 XP and uses:
- 285
Hide - 160
Fiber - 120
Wood - 55
Metal Ingot
More than a seat
According to the wiki, the saddle can carry up to two babies at once, as long as each is lower in level than the Gigantoraptor wearing it. It then works as a feeding trough for every baby stage, comparable to the 
Maewing.
Eggs fit as well: one on each side of the saddle can be held and hatched there. The wiki points out that this removes the need to manage egg temperature, so 
Wyvern and 
Rock Drake eggs can hatch without 
Air Conditioners or 
Dimetrodons with high melee.
Armor, weight and other sources
The saddle has an armor rating of 25 and 100 durability, and it weighs 20. Crafting is not the only route: 54 crate types can contain it, for example the Aberration Blue, Aberration Purple and Aberration Dungeon Red crates, and our records list the Gigantoraptor and the 
Aberrant Gigantoraptor as creatures that drop it. Our records place it on 9 maps, including The Island, Scorched Earth, Lost Colony, Astraeos and Valguero.
