In the world of Red Dead Redemption, there’s more to survival in the Wild West than just shooting your way out of trouble.  In addition to the kinds of firearms and traditional weapons featured in last week's "Weapons & Death" gameplay video, the lasso requires skill to wield and can be used to accomplish a great many tasks, including subduing man and beast.  Here are some brand new screens of Marston putting his lasso to good use on the frontier.

Full size HD screenshot versions are available at the official Red Dead Redemption site.

(John Marston applies some frontier justice by lassoing and dragging an enemy through the dirt.)

(Wild horses run free throughout the world of Red Dead Redemption.)

(Bounty Hunting missions earn Marston extra cash and goodwill with the local law.)

(Hogtied victims are much easier to return alive, and earn greater rewards than kills.)

(If Marston finds himself without a horse, he can always lasso and break a wild horse to ride.)
