how to hogtie rdr2?

Red Dead Redemption 2 is finally here, and with it the chance to get up to all kinds of wild west shenanigans. Doing so requires the player to know how to use their arsenal of cowboy tools and equipment though, so today we’re here with some tips to help you figure out how to hog tie, lasso and tie NPCs to horses in Red Dead Redemption 2.

To execute any actions with a rope, the player must first select it from the weapon wheel. To do this, press and hold the L1 button. Afterward, move the analogue stick toward the lasso to select it and equip it by releasing the L1 button while it’s highlighted.

This will equip the player with the lasso, and when the player aims by pressing the L2 button they will begin to spin the rope above their head or to their side.

The rope can be thrown at people or animals with the R2 button, and if they are successfully hit with it, they will than be snared by the Lasso.

From here, the real fun begins. After a person or animal is snared by the lasso, players must hold down the L2 button to maintain their grip, moving toward their target with the left analogue stick.

After they get close enough to their snared target, they can then press and hold the Circle button (if on PS4) or B (if on Xbox One) to hog tie and incapacitate them.

If the player would like to drag an NPC behind them instead of hog tie them, they can forgo hog tying them in favor of dragging them behind their horse as it runs by holding down L2 after they mount their steed again. Fun!

From here, the player has a few options of what to do with their tied-up targets.

If they’re an NPC that needs to be taken somewhere for mission or story purposes, they can be stowed onto the back of the player’s horse.

This is done by lifting them up, carrying them to the back of your horse and holding down the Square button (PS4) or X button (Xbox One).

Once the player reaches their destination, or if they just get bored and want to see their bound riding companion left to the elements, they can remove hog tied NPCs from the back of their horse by pressing and holding the Square or X buttons again while behind their horse.

Hopefully this tells you all that you need to know about how to hog tie, lasso and tie NPCs to horses.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. For more on the game, check out our official Red Dead Redemption 2 wiki for everything you need to know on your adventure into the wild west.

You’ll want to hold on to the LT/L2 button while doing this or you will let go of the player once you’ve roped them.  If successful you will pull them off of their feet if they are standing on the ground.  Or you can pull them off of their horse or off of a coach, carriage, or wagon.

You’ll need to be on horseback to pull players will you’ve got them tied with the Lasso, but the process is the same.  However, instead of just pulling them off of their feet you’ll want to hold on to the LT/L2 trigger to keep them roped and then just ride off while you’ve got them tied to your horse.  Players can break free with some effort.

Once you’ve got someone hooked you can then approach them and press the B/Circle button to Hogtie them.  Once you get through the hogtie animation you can then choose what to do with them.  You can either leave them there, cut them free, or pick them up and take them wherever you want.  Players can break free with some effort though.

A Hogtie is a type of rudimentary ligature that involves tying together the limbs of an individual or animal. It can be used to restrain people in Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2.

To perform a hogtie, the player must first obtain the lasso. In Red Dead Redemption, this requires completion of the mission Wild Horses, Tamed Passions.

In-game, the player can make use of a hogtie in order to restrain and transport an outlaw during a bounty mission. To hogtie, the player makes use of the same length of rope as a lasso.

A hogtie will not reduce the player's Honor or give him a bounty in most cases, even when applied to a civilian.

If the player turns their back on a hogtied hostage and goes back to them they may notice them missing, as it is possible for them to escape, and in some circumstances they can attack the player.

A Random Encounter may involve a kidnapper carrying a hogtied woman away on his back, and the player is given the choice of stopping the criminal and untying her or let them pass without doing anything.

The following Trophies/Achievements involve hogtying individuals:
