The Roblox index carried the live place as Dino Hunters[Raptor Nest] for the entire update window. The companion place Velociraptor Nest (place ID 128537402743682) hosts a 50-player sub-server for Raptor Nest content.
What the update added
- Raptor Nest Survival zone — a new biome built around raptor combat.
- Season 1 battle pass — Daily + Season Quests feed Relics into the Season Shop.
- Raptor Nest Raid loop — drops 9 new dinosaur species via Limited Raptor Eggs and Lottery Tickets that can pay out DNA Core.
- Venom Grenade Launcher — Season Pass reward weapon.
- Ultra Rank evolution — the new top of the rank ladder (17M Coins + 1 DNA Core + 1 Crimson Flame Scale + 3 SSS dinosaurs).
- Season Shop — Relics → Limited Raptor Eggs, DNA materials, and upgrade materials.
Season 1 Quest types
| Quest type | Cadence | Feeds |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Quests | Resets every 24h | Relics → Season Shop |
| Season Quests | Persist for the season | Relics → Season Pass tiers |
| Raptor Nest Raid | Instance cooldown | Eggs, Lottery Tickets, raid materials |
Relic income is what gates the Venom Grenade Launcher unlock. Missing the close window means losing the Season Pass progress permanently — Seasonal passes do not retro-pay after close.
Raptor Nest Raid drops
- 9 new dinosaur species via Limited Raptor Eggs.
- Lottery Tickets — can roll a DNA Core, which is the only documented source of Ultra Rank’s RNG-gated material.
- Crimson Flame Scales — raid / seasonal reward, the other Ultra Rank RNG-gated material.
The 9 species names are not publicly enumerated. Treat any third-party list as not authoritative until Fishgig Game publishes the roster.
