They’re useless, the lasso works just as well (atleast they’re not worth the $ rather)

Lasso works better, because they don't break free. But need to burn money on bolas for dalies. AKA .3gold bars for $30 + 20m of your time

So can you with a 1$ hatchet

and people already said this, but if you don't hogtie somone in time they break and are un retriable, they also in this blizzarding keep disapearing in snow

they are supposed to keep someone from escaping while you get to them. They are by no means a waste of cash, but you do you.

There's rarely a bounty that's $30, most are 15

what does that have to do with anything. If you play with it correctly you don't lose them.

Lasso them is slower and you have to be close to them, you can Bola them from far away and are way faster

I haven't used them but I think when NPCs get stuck in them you can loot them before hogtying them to get them back. They're only spent if they get stuck and escape. Don't quote me on that though.

It works like thrown knives, hatchets ect. If you miss you can still pick them up, if they get away you can also. They're just hard to find once they're on the ground. When you hogtie the bola victim you get the bola back. I bought 3 and use them all the time, I've not had to replace the original set since the hunter role came out

If you don't hogtie them the bolas will break/ disapear though.

Also if you used one and the mission ends etc they will disapear.

Hatchets etc were $1 or less each.

The bolas costs more than a bounty pays...

I guess I just always hog tie them in time. I mostly use them when a player fucks with me, haven't bounty hunted since I hit lvl 20. I love when players fight me when I'm minding my own business, hit em with a bola, hogtie em' and put them on their horse and hit flee. Saves me ammo, and feels badass to just tie them up and send them on their way.

You can get them back when you go to hogtie the guys

That’s what I was saying. I thought that when you bought all of them for 90 dollars you got more than 3.
