This selection of weapons gives the game a unique competitive experience - instead of depending on [[MoreDakka high volumes of lead]] to take down a target and regenerating health to survive, you must be accurate, composed, and wary of how many shots you have left. Additionally, instead of basing scores on the raw numbers of kills and deaths, players win by amassing the most notoriety. Fragging an enemy with a lower-tiered weapon will yield more notoriety points. Health does not regenerate. The only way to recover lost vitality is by [[BoozeBasedBuff drinking copious amounts of whiskey]].

The two team deathmatch mode allows you to play as [[VigilanteMan Vigilantes]] or [[{{Outlaw}} Desperados]], while the four team deathmatch also lets you play as {{Bandito}}s and {{Ranger}}s

Added DiffLines:

* DifficultButAwesome: The bow. It's the only non-hitscan weapon in the game. This makes it harder to use than most other weapons because the target's movement must be taken into account. The bow also suffers from its extremely low rate of fire, but is just as effective damage-wise. The bow can be a deadly weapon if used correctly.

* DoNotRunWithAGun: Trying to hit any target further than an arm's length away while moving at full speed isn't worth the thought. Couple this with the generally slow fire rates the dated weapons have, and gunfights take a unique "shoot 'n' scoot" sort of format as players slow down or come to complete stops before making their shot.

** On the other hand, [[DoNotRunWithAGun every weapon becomes uselessly inaccurate if the character is moving at full speed]]. Accurate fire even in close ranges requires you to walk instead of run.
