Undead West Patch #5: The second stop on the Roadmap

Howdy, gunslingers!

It’s already time for the second stop on the Undead West Year 1 Roadmap! How time flies by,., Strap in, as the Boss Rush Mode is here! Along with the brand new game mode we’ve also introduced the Bounty Board! Both additions are made available in the Hub with the pre-requisite that the final boss has been defeated at least once.

Boss Rush Mode

There are two variations of Boss Rush added in the new update, each offering a unique challenge for even the most seasoned gunslingers.

Boss Rush Random

Boss Rush Random takes you to a specially designed 6-room level where you face a random boss from each stage of the game. For example, the first room could have any Catacombs boss, those being the Mutant Rat, the Cube, or the Blob.

As you progress through this gauntlet of undead horrors, a boon reward drops upon each boss defeated to give you that much-needed power boost to keep going and face increasingly tougher bosses. Strategy will be key - choosing the right boons to complement your playstyle could mean the difference between victory and being another ghost haunting the West!

Boss Rush All

Boss Rush All will truly test your mettle as you face each and every non-secret boss in the game, in order. That's right: 12 bosses all up! Starting with the Mutant Rat and ending with the final boss of the game, The Man in Red, this version will test your bullet dodging skills to the absolute limit.

Boon rewards will only drop from the last boss faced of each stage, however all the other bosses do give a little health and whiskey replenisher as a top-up. Can you take them all on?

Bounty Board

The Bounty Board can be found in the top left corner of the Gunsmith's room in the Hub. To view the bounties, interact with the board and check out your 3 optional bounties. Each bounty will be for a specific Boss and have their own unique requirements: in order to be completed, you must use the specific weapon, outfit, and whiskey shown on the bounty during the boss fight.

You can accept all 3 bounties at the same time if you want, then head into a normal run to see if you face the boss you want to take down. These bounties add an exciting new layer of challenge and strategy to your regular runs.

After completing a bounty (or bounties), head back to the Bounty Board in the Hub and turn in your bounty to claim the cash reward. Use your hard-earned cash to purchase new items, weapons, and upgrades to help you survive the Undead West!

That’s all for this update, happy hunting and see you in the next Roadmap devlog!
