Getting Mounts in Roblox Rope Battles

Mounts are a game-changer in Rope Battles. They can be found in sheds, which usually appear at the edges of the map and at a distance from hazards like the poison pool and spike pit. You may find like-minded players trying to get hold of a horse, so be ready to battle them.

Getting a Mount is straightforward: approach the animal and wait for your avatar to climb and tame it. Use the default controls to move the animal while trying to string up enemies with your rope.

Mounts are invaluable in the game because they increase your mobility, helping you avoid the ropes of others and counterattack quickly. The added height gives you a clearer view of your surroundings and the potential threats. Moreover, all Mounts are unaffected by certain rope traps on the battlefield.

As of this writing, you cannot steal a Mount by lassoing its rider. The Mount returns to its shed if its rider is tied by a rope or eliminated.

Tips for using Mounts in Rope Battles

Although Mounts provide a definitive advantage, they don't make you invincible in Rope Battles. Instead, using a horse will make you an even bigger target, as others will prioritize trying to eliminate the rider and secure themselves. This is why some players avoid throwing caution to the wind and play it safe.

To maximize the effectiveness of a Mount and avoid being an easy target, remember these tips:

• Move in circles: You'll be a much difficult target if you move around in circles. Another efficient strategy is to keep encircling an opponent, wait for them to make a mistake, and then capitalize on it.
• Stay away from groups: Avoid getting close to large groups of players battling chaotically on the map. You'll become a prime target for third-party interventions.
• Challenge other riders: The biggest threats while using a Mount are other riders. Make sure to eliminate them before preying on those on foot.
• Use the best hazards to finish opponents: Due to the mobility provided by a Mount, you can quickly move from one part of the map to the other and use the best hazards. The train and poison pool do heavy damage, so consider journeying to the railway tracks or the pool after lassoing opponents.

While steering your steed, avoid running into cacti or rocks as these will damage your avatar instead of the horse.
