Man with no name:
When starting a new game, instead of entering a name use the spacebar right
to make a blank entry. When you enter this, it starts a character named "Rstar".
In some of the stores some items show up as already sold to you.
Defeating the exploding dynamite Boss
On the level with the exploding dynamite Boss, sneak around and hide so that
he does not see you. Note: Bongo music will play when he is on your tail. Then,
shoot him with the rifle in the back. This surprises him (the game will say "You
surprised him!"). Then, power on through with as many shots as possible to get
his life down. Repeat the hiding routine, then sneak shot again. Do npt use
combos, as they do not really effect him much. Just power on through with single
shots; because the first one stuns and the successive ones hurt him. Also, when
he is on your tail and is going to blow you up, do a sidestep or one of those
rolls to get out of the way. The area with the low cement walls works well if
you duck down.
You can also climb on top of the roof of the house in the center of the village,
then climb on top of the shack. From this point, you can stand there and not
worry about being hurt by the dynamite, and the Boss will not be able to see
you. He will keep walking the same path repeatedly. This makes it easy to
"surprise him" several times to kill him.
Bar Brawl: Extra health
During the Bar Brawl, go upstairs in the saloon and talk to the two ladies
in the bath. You will get an option to take a bath with them for $1,500, which
will increase your maximum health.
Extra money
When you are playing as the buffalo soldier, you can shoot the driver of the
wagon in the head as much desired and it will not kill him. Each time you shoot
him, you will get $8. You can intertwine this with killing the Indians and get
massive combos.
Mine: Extra revolver ammunition
On the mine stage look for a revolver. It will give you 915 bullets for the
revolver.
Cheats are unlocked by completing Bounty Hunter
challenges. They are then available in the pause menu. The following Bounty
levels unlock the corresponding cheats.
Sad Stars: The Mine
No HUD: Stagecoach
Bite the Bullet (Enemies have golden guns): Fort Diego
No Distortion: End of the Line
Infinite Dead Eye: Battle Finale
Golden Gun: Siege
Invincibility: Fall From Grace
Defeating Grizzly
When you fight grizzly, shoot him as many times as possible. When he comes
close to you hide behind a totem-pole. Keep walking around the totem-pole,
making sure you keep it between you and grizzly, after a while he will get bored
and walk away. Shoot him in the back as many times as possible when he is
walking away.
Beat pig josh
To beat pig josh all you need to do is jump on to the roof that Jack is on
and get on top of little shack thing. After that you will have a perfect view of
Josh. If he tries to come up the stairs he will most likely blow himself out of
the shack leaving him vulnerable for attack.
Hell Pass: Extra money
When you are playing as the Buffalo Soldier, you can shoot the driver of the
wagon in the head as much desired and it will not kill him. Each time you shoot
him, you will get $8. You can intertwine this with killing the Indians and get
massive combos.
Hint: Mountain Mine: Health upgrade
On the Mountain Mine level, you must get various keys in order to complete
the level. One of the keys is in a jail cell with a young lady. After you free
her, talk to her again. You will receive a health upgrade for $1.
Hint: The Mine: Extra revolver ammunition
On the mine stage look for a revolver. It will give you 915 bullets for the
revolver.
Hint: Secret shop
In the beginning of the level after you play as Shadow Wolf, turn around and
go back to the jail cell that you and the Buffalo Soldier were in. You can talk
to the skeleton. The shop menu will open, and you can buy a horseshoe and snake
oil.
Beating Bad Bessie
Before the mission starts put the owl rifle in your arsenal when you get to
the part where you have to kill her shoot all of her henchmen with the pistols
not the owl rifle lay it on her with the owl rifle and use a few Dead Eyes and
she should die.
Scorpion Revolver
Just beat the game once on any difficulty. To use the gun start a new game.
It will appear on the weapon select screen.
Defeating Sam
After you kill Sam's henchmen, he will jump down to the first floor. When he
begins charging at you, dodge him so that he hits the wall. Sam will be stunned,
so turn around and use dead eye to hit him many times. Do this a few times until
Sam is defeated.
Defeating Ugly Josh:
When the fight starts, immediately run up to the building where the man with
dual revolvers is located. Once there, immediately jump to the building on your
right. Then, turn around and Josh should be on the rooftop you were just on.
However, instead of attacking, he will run around the rooftop in a continuous
"loop". You will now be free to shoot him. It will take longer and use many more
bullets, but you should hardly lose any health.
Defeating the Boss with the coffin:
This opponent's weak spot is when he is done shooting. Immediately when he
stops shooting, shoot him with the repeater rifle, the revolver, or the twin
revolvers. Do not use the sawed off shotgun -- you will not have enough time to
retreat after he gets out of his daze.
Freak Show: Extra health:
After completing the Freak Show level, where you fight Professor Perry as
Jack Swift, he will be in Brimstone. Keep talking to him and eventually he will
sell you a maximum health upgrade.
Hell Pass: Extra money:
When you are playing as the Buffalo Soldier, you can shoot the driver of the
wagon in the head as much desired and it will not kill him. Each time you shoot
him, you will get $8. You can intertwine this with killing the Indians and get
massive combos.
Mountain Mine: Health upgrade
On the Mountain Mine level, you must get various keys in order to complete
the level. One of the keys is in a jail cell with a young lady. After you free
her, talk to her again. You will receive a health upgrade for $1.
Railroaded: Avoid getting hurt
When the train goes out of control and you are forced to work your way back
up, there is a way to get through the thin rafters without getting hurt. If a
rafter is coming and you do not have enough time to jump, just stand still. Red
will not be hurt, and will not get knocked down.
Power Ups
Speak to Jack 5 times in Brimstone 3 and he will sell you health power-ups.
Talk to girls in the tub upstairs in Saloon Fight, they sell you a health
power-up. Talk to the girl in the Jailbreak twice after you rescue her, she will
see you a health power-up. Talk to the paper boy in Brimstone 4, he sells you a
dead eye power up.
Bite the Bullet
Beat Fort Diego on bounty hunter.
All Showdown Characters and Journal Pages
Buy every item.
Battle Tip
When fighting enemies (especially bosses) aim for their head it causes
tremendous damage and can sometimes kill in one shot. When your not behind a
wall keep moving so it is harder for your enemies to hit you.
Invincibility
Complete the bounty hunter goal on Fall from Grace
Defeating Diego:
When Diego is in his canon, throw dynamite at him. It will get him out. Get
on the horse and run into him many times to damage him.
Jailbreak:
When you are in the mine where you have to find the keys, once you unlock
the cell door with the woman in it talk to her twice. She will sell u a kiss for
$1.
Railroaded: Diegos train:
There are multiple ways to complete Diegos train, however, this is more
convenient and safer then using the gatling gun that the traveler brings across
the plain. As you start, kill all of the men in the first compartment, but be
careful of the canon on top. Do not stray too far from the train. Then, detach
the back compartment. Next, get back on your horse and go forward to kill all of
the men in the next compartment and the man in the compartment with a locked
door. However, do not unlatch the compartments, which is what the lever there
does. Instead, get back out and shoot at the steam engine. Because you killed
everyone and did not unlatch the compartments behind, no men on horseback will
arrive, and no one will be shooting at you except for the canon. However, as
long as you do not stray too far from the train itself, you will be safe. You
must shoot off all its armor, and shoot it by thirds (it will blow up three
times after all its armor is off).
Rogue Valley: Extra money:
After meeting the prospector, he will lead you to a cave with two villains.
After killing them, the prospector runs outside only to be shot by two snipers.
If you kill the snipers before they kill the prospector, he will drop a money
bag worth $1,500. To save him from dying, kill the villains in the cave, then
run outside before the prospector can and kill the snipers very quickly.
Rogue Valley: Knives:
At the mountain just before where Bad Bessy is, slide down the mountain to
the path. Follow the path until it dead ends at a wall. Turn around and a green
box will appear. Shoot the green box and a knife will come out. If you take the
knife, you get a number of knives to use as weapons.
Stagecoach: Extra money:
When you are riding the stagecoach filled with TNT, fire as many times as
desired at the head of the driver. He will not die, and the stagecoach will not
take any damage. You can rake in as much money as desired. Hit him as many times
as you can between firing at enemies until the mission ends and you will earn a
serious bonus.
Quick reload:
When you get knocked down, press Triangle and your gun should reload before
you get up

Defeating Mr. Black
Take a rifle, and not a shotgun, on this mission. Start
by making sure that all of his men are dead. You can either shoot
them yourself or stand behind them and let Mr. Black kill them. Once
all of them are dead, run to the far back-left corner. There is a
small brick wall to hide behind. Once you are hidden, wait for him
to get through firing his gun. Then, once you find him, zoom in and
take your shots. Repeat this until you kill him.
Beat pig josh
To beat pig josh all you need to do is jump on to the
roof that Jack is on and get on top of little shack thing. After
that you will have a perfect view of Josh. If he tries to come up
the stairs he will most likely blow himself out of the shack leaving
him vulnerable for attack.
The Man With No Name
When you choose to play story mode, it will ask you for
your file name. Press X on the space and move the cursor over 1
spot. Then, go to ok to accept the name. The game will name the file
itself, calling it "Rstar". Activating this cheat makes it so that
some of the items in a store have already been considered bought by
you, and you already have many of them. NOTE: The items that are
considered already bought by you will vary. Such as on one file you
could have some weapons and health increase items purchased. On
another file, you may have no health increase items bought or
weapons, and you might have journal pages and showdown characters.
Beat "Fall From Grace
After killing most of the guys and after Buffalo is
incapitated, wallhug the left wall that supports the roof the
dynamite guy was standing on. Take quick snipe shots. Griffon should
stop moving just in range behind the window on the ground. Snipe him
out.
When you duel Griffon, get a good lock on his arm/hand to buy you
more time to get his head.
Defeating Bosses
To kill the majority of Bosses, use height to your
advantage. There is more often than not a location where they cannot
get to you and will stay in range.
