How do I unlock and use the Reinforced Lasso as a Bounty Hunter?

The Reinforced Lasso is a valuable tool for Bounty Hunters in Red Dead Online, allowing you to secure tougher targets more effectively. To unlock and use the Reinforced Lasso, you must first become a Bounty Hunter by purchasing the Bounty Hunter License. This license costs 15 Gold Bars, which can be earned through daily challenges, treasure maps, or purchased with real money. Once you have the license, you can start taking on bounty missions from bounty boards located in towns like Valentine, Rhodes, or Saint Denis.\n\nTo unlock the Reinforced Lasso, you need to progress through the Bounty Hunter role. Specifically, you must reach Rank 10 in the Bounty Hunter role. This requires completing bounty missions, which reward you with Bounty Hunter XP. Each mission has a difficulty level, and harder bounties grant more XP. Focus on taking on multiple targets or legendary bounties to level up faster. Once you reach Rank 10, the Reinforced Lasso becomes available for purchase from the Fence or the Bounty Hunter Wagon catalog for $30.\n\nThe Reinforced Lasso is superior to the standard lasso because it is much harder for targets to break free. This is especially useful when dealing with aggressive or high-value targets who struggle more frequently. To use the Reinforced Lasso, equip it from your weapon wheel under the lasso slot. Approach your target, aim, and throw the lasso just like the standard version. Once the target is lassoed, you can hogtie them to ensure they stay subdued. The Reinforced Lasso significantly reduces the chances of them escaping, even if they struggle.\n\nOne common challenge is dealing with targets who have allies or are in heavily guarded areas. For example, if you are pursuing a bounty in a gang hideout, use stealth to isolate your target. Equip the Reinforced Lasso, sneak up behind them, and quickly hogtie them before their allies notice. If you are spotted, use cover and Dead Eye to neutralize threats while keeping your target subdued. The Reinforced Lasso ensures that even if you are distracted, your target is less likely to escape.\n\nAnother practical tip is to combine the Reinforced Lasso with other Bounty Hunter tools, such as the Bounty Wagon. Once you have hogtied your target, call the Bounty Wagon to transport them safely. This is especially useful for multiple targets or when you are far from a sheriff''s office. The Reinforced Lasso ensures that your targets remain secure during transport, even over long distances.\n\nIn summary, the Reinforced Lasso is a must-have for any serious Bounty Hunter in Red Dead Online. Unlock it by reaching Rank 10 in the Bounty Hunter role, and use it to secure tougher targets with ease. Combine it with stealth, Dead Eye, and the Bounty Wagon for maximum efficiency. With the Reinforced Lasso, you can tackle even the most challenging bounties with confidence.
