A Red Dead Redemption 2 player has shown the hilarious potential of the in-game lasso in a new video. Since its release in 2018, funny Red Dead Redemption 2 moments have proliferated the internet, both from glitches and intentional player humor. This latest user video shows there’s still entertaining moments to discover in-game even almost four years after release.
Red Dead Redemption 2 offers players the authentic cowboy experience through many different means, from horseback riding to confrontations with rival cowboy gangs. Players can utilize a lasso in the game for a myriad of different purposes, the primary one being hunting and wrangling horses. The lasso can be used on characters as well, often with very entertaining results. The game features a railroad system which can be used as a fast-travel method as well as targets for train robbery in Red Dead Redemption 2. Unlike the previous Red Dead title, players can also drive trains themselves.
Red Dead Redemption 2 player necrosofty shared a very funny video on Twitter demonstrating the incredible power of the game’s lasso. Just as an NPC rides across the train tracks on a horse, the player deftly snatches them off of their steed with the rope just as the locomotive begins to move. The NPC begins to fly through the air at ridiculous speed, with some users comparing them to a flying squirrel. The NPC hilariously shouts at the player over their predicament until they ultimately collide with a telephone pole and are freed from the rope.
While most players know that the lasso tricks in Red Dead Redemption 2 have impressive capabilities, few probably imagined a moment like this. The video is the perfect combination of some of the best features of RDR2 in the silliest way. Part of the game’s widespread popularity and acclaim is the freedom it gives players to explore the massive world and cause cowboy mayhem in whatever way they please, and this is an excellent example. The chaotic way that the RDR2 physics toss the poor snared cowboy about is the icing on the cake, with the hilarious video strangely encapsulating why the game has so many fans.
Although it’s an incredibly ridiculous video, this Red Dead Redemption 2 lasso ride is exactly the sort of thing that keeps players coming back to the game years later. The Red Dead Redemption sequel is considered better than the original by many fans of the series, not just because of its compelling story and gorgeous graphics but because it lets players live out their cowboy fantasies. This incredibly entertaining video shows that players can truly do just about any absurd thing they can think of in Red Dead Redemption 2, often to hilarious results.
