How to get hat from horse RDR2 pc

As the leader of the Van der Linde gang, it’s important to look the part and having yourself a fancy hat is one way to ensure everyone knows your status. But, as you make your way through the wilds of the west, you’re bound to find yourself looking for your hat. Where did it go? Did you lose it somewhere along the way? Here’s what you need to know to get your hat back in Red Dead Redemption 2.

How to Get Your Hat Back

If you manage to lose your hat along the way—and you will—in Red Dead Redemption 2, then there are a few things you can do to get it back nestled on top of your head. Obviously, the first (and the most arduous) way to find it is to go looking for it wherever you might have lost it. This could be anywhere that you’ve traveled over the course of your past few hours of game time, though, which means you could be looking for it for a while.

If you want to make things easier on yourself, then your best bet is to head to the nearest Wardrobe. This is where you can change out your clothes and other apparel, and they can usually be found nearby a bed at whatever camp you happen to be calling home at the time. Walk up to the Wardrobe, interact with it, and then you can cycle through the various options you’ve got available until you find the one you’re looking for. Easy peasy.

If you don’t feel like heading to the nearest camp and Wardrobe, then you can always change out your previous hat for another one in your collect from the comfort of your horse. While on your horse—or next to it—bring up the Weapon Wheel and then tab over to the Horse area. This is where you’ll be able to see a select of different things available from your horse, including more of your hats. Select the hat that you want to equip at this time, and then boom, you’re good to go.

Now that you’ve got your hat back, make sure you know how to take a bath and clean yourself up. After all, nobody likes making deals with someone who smells like they’ve been on the road for several months. You can also head back to our Red Dead Redemption 2 guide for more walkthrough content like this.

This page of the Red Dead Redemption 2 guide describes how to retrieve a lost hat or other headgear. The character will lose their headgear if they take melee damage, fall off their horse, or collide with an obstacle.

A hat is an important piece of garment of every cowboy - this is also true in Red Dead Redemption 2. Sadly, your character can easily lose his hat due to, i.e. getting hit in a fist-fight or hitting an obstacle. Check this page to learn how to retrieve your hat (or other headwear).

Losing a hat in RDR 2 isn't that important but it can be irritating when you lose your favorite hat bought at a store.

1. Look around the place where you have lost your hat. There is a good chance that it hadn't disappeared yet which means that you will be able to pick it up.
2. Go back to your gang hideout if you can't find the hat. Head to Arthur's tent and interact with the chest containing your pieces of clothes (see the picture 1). Go to the Hats tab and select the headwear from the list. Hats are assigned to you permanently when you receive them or purchase at a store.

Additional note - This chest also has all other pieces of clothes owned by your character. Go back to it when you have to, i.e. change winter clothes to those fit for summer.

The process of retrieving your hat can be "automatized" - you won't have to go back to the clothes chest every time you lose a hat. You can do that by assigning a hat to your horse's inventory. Highlight the hat you want to assign, and press the button to add it to your horse's inventory (Square is the default button on PlayStation 4).

While on horse, you can open the wheel menu (L1 in default) and then go to the last tab - Horse. You can now select the previously assigned hat (the picture above shows an example).
