Developer of Flying Wild Hog’s Evil West may be exactly up your alley if you’ve been craving an exciting western. This bloody and fast-paced action game is set in a Wild West where humans and vampires are at odds with one another. We welcome you to take a quick look at some pointers that can offer you a little insight into what to expect on your trip if you’re ready to assume the role of vampire hunter Jesse Rentier and take on the hoard.
Check Everything Twice and Keep Looking
Evil West is a rather straightforward game, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few things to discover if you’re willing to stray off the main road. The game’s major currency, Bucks, are used to purchase perks, so take your time and keep a look out for hidden routes that lead to these items.
Be meticulous in your search; these things are sometimes hidden in nooks, crates, or behind movable walls. Look up; there are usually hanging bodies that may be fired to the ground to expose Bucks.
Replay Playthroughs of Completed Missions Accessed from the Game’s Main Menu.
You may always redo a task to make sure you acquire all you need if you happen to miss something along the way. Open the Menu and select the Lore sub-menu item.
Here, you may review the missions you’ve already finished and the items you’ve acquired from them, and you can also opt to retry any task without losing your current plot progress. Since your improvements may make or break your progress, using this to go back and round up any Bucks you neglected can be very valuable.
Use Zapper Pull and Zapper Dash to your Advantage.
Managing the game’s hordes of enemies requires constant movement and the seizing of advantageous opportunities to eliminate individual adversaries, both of which are greatly facilitated by the Zapper’s Pull and Dash abilities. You may use an electrical whip to drag foes to you or pull yourself to them after a certain number of missions, and there is no cooldown for either of these abilities, which completely alters the flow of warfare.
You may use your melee attacks to quickly dispose of lesser adversaries you find in the packs by pulling them out, shocking them, and then beating them to death. When you come across a cluster of them, you should hurry over and deal area-of-effect damage with your energy strikes or shotgun. With this kind of versatility, you’ll be an unstoppable fighting machine.
The Time Has Come to Get Out the Boomstick.
Repeat after me: shotgun, shotgun, shotgun. You can quickly dispatch of lesser foes and knock back and disrupt larger ones with the help of your Rentier Boomstick, making it one of your most useful weapons.
This shotgun has a cooldown and should be used rarely, but if given the chance, you should take use of its devastating potential. You may speed up its cooldown and unlock additional features by spending Bucks in the upgrades menu.
Resetting your Privileges May be Done in Virgil’s Workshop.
You’ll be able to spend experience points on a variety of perks as you progress through the game, and you’ll be able to spend Bucks you discover on a variety of upgrades as you go. Be careful to constantly fill up these trees, as they are both crucial and will strengthen your different armaments or provide passive advantages that will give you a leg up in battle confrontations.
If you’re in Calico, the hub town, and you decide you want to attempt a new construction, you can always stop by Virgil’s workshop and utilize the gadget there to reset everything for free.
In a Hurry? Grab the Free Bullet Update.
Free Bullet is one of the finest upgrades available at the beginning of the game. When an enemy’s weak spot (the glowing circle that appears on some of them when they’re charging an attack) gets struck, you’ll get a free bullet thanks to this improvement. To understand why this is so crucial, consider that some of the bigger adversaries you’ll meet during the game have weak places that require at least four shots from your rifle to disrupt.
You’re a sniper, so you can keep firing at those vulnerable places as much as you like without using up any rounds thanks to the Free Bullet upgrade.
Modifying the Challenge Level is Encouraged.
You may play Evil West at your own pace, whether you desire a casual adventure, a serious challenge, or a pure masochistic journey. Having a large number of strong foes all attack you at once can make the game challenging even on Normal. If you’re having trouble and you decide the level is too high for your liking, you may lower it a notch or two.
If you want every trophy or accomplishment, you’ll need to play through the game on the hardest setting the whole time.
Attempt a Cooperative Effort.
The game is focused on a single player experience, but it also supports multiplayer with friends. In this mode, you and your buddies can resuscitate each other after a battle and your health and damage will be adjusted to match those of the enemy in the host’s game. While the scale will make things difficult, two players taking on the hordes may make things a lot simpler (and sometimes even more fun), so feel free to invite some pals along for the journey.
The only real catch is that only the host character advances the plot in this mode, so you won’t be able to finish the game with your friends in a single sitting.
