Official Details

Description

Charge to increase hit rate. Hooked teammates will gain acceleration effect.

The Cowboy is proficient in using the Lasso. When a teammate is lassoed, they are placed on the Cowboy's back but their location is also expose to the Hunter. If the Hunter is lassoed, the Cowboy will fly past the Hunter's head and land on the other side of the Hunter, taking no damage in the process. If a Pallet or Cipher Machine is lassoed, the Cowboy will be pulled towards it.
The Cowboy can lasso and save teammates tied to balloons and Rocket Chairs. If a teammate tied to a balloon is lassoed, the teammate's struggle progress is increased by 10%. Teammates remain knocked down on the Cowboy's back, knocked down progress does not increase, and self-healing is unavailable. If a teammate tied to a Rocket Chair is lassoed, the teammate recovers to a wounded state.
After the Cowboy lassoes a Pallet, Cipher Machine, Hunter, or Survivor, he will receive an speed boost.

How to use
Tap or hold to unleash the Cowboy's lasso. Long press to choose your target and aim. After taking aim, release the lasso within the target area to hit the target. Aim progress will be reduced if the player moves away from the target area when aiming.

Consumption
The energy spent when using the lasso depends on what is lassoed. Lassoing teammates tied to Rocket Chairs and balloons requires a lot of energy, lassoing Pallets and Cipher Machines requires a certain amount of energy, while only a little energy is required for other lassoed items.

Gameplay

Main Article: Lasso (Tool)

Cowboy starts with a Lasso at the beginning of the match, allowing him to lasso survivors, hunters, and interactable objects such as Cipher Machines, Pallets, and Rocket Chairs. When Cowboy manages to lasso a Survivor, the survivor will be pulled towards the Cowboy's back but will expose Cowboy's location to the Hunter. Both the Cowboy and the carried survivor can decide whether to release the carried survivor or not.

If the Cowboy lasso the Hunter, he will fly over the Hunter's head and land on the other side. During the process, Cowboy is immune to any damage until he lands on the ground.

While rescuing his teammate being carried by the Hunter, a successful lasso will rescue the teammate and their struggle progress increases by 10% but the rescued teammate will remain at the knocked-down state during which they cannot self-heal. Teammates who are strapped on the Rocket Chair can be rescued with a lasso and will recover to an injured state.

Cowboy can also target Pallets and Cipher Machines, which he will be pulled towards them and get a brief speed boost.
