Wild West features weapons from the Frontier Times, which means hunting rifles, six shooters and pump shotguns are the order of the day.
“This town ain’t big enough for the hundred of us!” reads the 6.30 patch notes. “Use weapons from frontier times in this Limited Time Mode to earn a Victory Royale!”
