The Bola roots humans in place for 25 seconds and wild dinos for 30 seconds. You have to wait another 10 seconds before you can apply a new bola to your target. The player or dino rooted will be incapable of moving, but can still fire guns, shoot arrows or attack. The player can also still jump, but will not be able to move. Players can struggle out of a bola by switching to just their fists and pressing the fire button which by default is the left mouse button, this reduces the remaining duration of the bola by one second per each attempt.
