That is all. c:

if you're using the ropecaster and not the rattler, you're doing it wrong.

note: If you are looking for Rat Skins for the Adept Rattler go to Maker's End, lot of rats there.

I dunno, I took down the big-ass bird thing, Ravager, and Redmaw on Hard on my first try without any real effort using the ropecaster, lol

Ropecaster is a way of life.

never used that outside hunting area. It doesn't kill things so it felt like waste of time. Nothing can harm you so it's only about dealing enough damage until they die :/

It is my oh sh!t button.

It great for lockdown Storm bird and Stalker.

It's very useful for most aggresive machines and if anyone managed to tie down a Deathbringer then what am I doing wrong?

From the Horizon.fandom.com wiki:
"Deathbringers are the only machine immune to the effects of the Ropecaster."

I thought it was mentioned in the game as well, but maybe not.

I found out that it isn't by trial and error really. It's not in the Machine Catalog either. I was hoping to be proven wrong but no it is true.

The battle with the Demonic Fire Claw in FW, keep sticking 3 ropes on him.

[Overread]

Ropecasters are also good when you end up against a lot of machines and being able to lock down at least one or two can help you have time to either focus on them or focus on others or just not spend the whole time dodging blows and shots.

try using Rope Caster on humans early on, cause you can get the standard rope caster pretty early on. Even on heavily armored close combat humans the rope caster can let them pull into your direction, which makes them vulnerable for heavy strikes.

On tangled Armored Walkers you can always land 2 critical hits instead of 1. Experienced that on Ravagers, too.

I just like Rope Caster. The ropes are cheap and most of the time pretty handy.

Adept lodge ropecaster with full stack of handling mods it's basically a machine gun with ropes lmao

[Just Chill]

Do you actually still have green, blue and purple (or Lodge) caster?

As you cannot switch the type of ropes you use, you need to use the lower grade casters if you want to use Tie Rope Light or Medium.
So I still have the basic and Carja caster in my inventory.

Any of the purple ones just use the heavy Tie Rope.
