When they said that the true brutality of the West will be exactly portrayed in Gun, I didn't believe it for a second so I went on playing without giving it another thought. The first close-up of a slashed throat changed my opinion almost immediately and the more I played, the more I enjoyed it in a fun and twisted sort of way. Activision was right to keep this game short as I was approaching my limit in scalping and headshots. Some might find this game too violent but it definitely deserves its R rating. Here are some gameplay hints if you still think this is too hard to watch and just want to finish it quick:
A
Hole in the WallIf you take a barrel of TNT from the Badlands mine and put it on the north end of the old abandoned house's chimney, the explosion will open up a hole in the ground with unlimited ammunition. To get there, get out of Dodge City, make your way to the Badlands (use your map for directions) and head into the field that has several horses and buffalo. The house and the mine with the TNT will be right next to you.
Quarry RespawnIf you scared off the quarry in the Hunt side-missions, just remember where it was and go to the nearest trader. After you talk to him and return to where the animal disappeared, it will be there again.
Enough Talk, Let's Drink. Free WhiskeyGo to the bridge over at Dodge and go to the bottom by the river. Follow the river (leftwards) until you come to a little cavern. Inside are several whiskey bottles that respawn when you recycle the map.
Skip the Battle with Hoodoo During the battle with Hoodoo in his casino, you will notice that he is on the balcony upstairs. By making your way up to the second level, you will find a second set of stairs that should have red wallpaper on the walls leading up to the third floor. Climb these stairs to the very top where Hoodoo's office is. This should skip the battle and immediately let you finish him off.
