The Horse: Your Best Friend — Rustler Walkthrough

In Rustler, your horse is a vital companion. Manage its stamina and health effectively to make the most of this essential transportation and escape tool.

Your horse is more than just transportation; it's a vital part of your character and often your best escape tool. Investing in your horse is just as important as upgrading Guy's gear.

Horse Mechanics:

• Stamina: Horses have their own stamina bar, which depletes when sprinting. Let it recharge to avoid being dismounted.
• Health: Horses can take damage and be killed. If your horse dies, you'll need to find another or purchase one.
• Mounted Combat: You can attack from horseback with melee weapons, which is effective against foot soldiers. Ranged weapons are also usable.

'Pimp-a-Horse' Stables:

These unique stables, marked by a horse head icon, are where you can upgrade your steed. Services include:

• Speed Upgrades: Increase your horse's top speed. Essential for races and escapes.
• Stamina Upgrades: Boost your horse's stamina bar, allowing for longer sprints.
• Armor/Health Upgrades: Make your horse more durable, allowing it to withstand more damage.
• Wanted Level Removal: For a fee, these stables can 'repaint' your horse, instantly removing your wanted level. This is an invaluable service for quick escapes.

Always keep an eye on your horse's health and stamina. A dead horse can leave you stranded and vulnerable. Prioritize speed and stamina upgrades early on, as they will greatly assist in mission completion and evasion.
