The hat is especially important in Red Dead Redemption 2. Without it, you just feel naked – but players often lose it and despair.
If you want to be a real cowboy, you also need a proper hat in Red Dead Redemption 2. Without it, the appearance is simply not complete and you feel somewhat naked in the game world. Owning a hat is easy – keeping it, however, is relatively difficult! RDR 2 becomes easier if you follow these tips.
Time and again, the hat is shot off during battles, flies off during acrobatic maneuvers, or rolls away into the prairie in a careless moment.
Of course, you could simply get a new hat and put it on from the nearest adversary, but most players are attached to their headgear and desperately try to find it again. This leads to many posts on Twitter, like this one:
“Every morning, I leave my camp with my hat and every evening I have no idea what happened to it …”
“I lost my hat in Red Dead Redemption 2. I just don’t know what to do with myself now.”
“I finally need a strap for my cowboy hat!!! Damn, I lost it again!!!”
“I literally lost my damn hat in RDR2… I’m looking for a digital cowboy hat. And how is your Saturday morning going?”
“Help, I lost my hat. It was knocked off my head during a fight in a mission, and I didn’t notice until the end of the mission and now I’m a hatless cowboy. I just can’t go on like this, how do I get a new hat?”
The whole “problem” has escalated to the point that even a new Twitter hashtag has emerged: #hatproblems. If you have no other problems in a game, that’s already a pretty good sign, right?
Here’s how to get your hat back: In your horse’s item menu, you can retrieve the hat at any time.
What about you? Do you still own your first hat? Or have you lost and replaced it multiple times? Does it bother you to walk around without a hat?
Many players are also shocked by how brutal Red Dead Redemption 2 is.
