Plan your next Far Far West session
Our independent guide breaks down Far Far West’s core pillars, offering observations that help players fine‑tune their crew, tackle the strangest frontier, and maximise bounty returns without relying on hidden tricks or paid upgrades.
01 / THE GUIDE
Crew Composition
Compare a team of all gun‑users versus a mixed gun‑and‑spell lineup. Note how damage distribution and survivability shift during boss fights, and decide which balance fits your play style.
- Communicate target priorities before engaging a contract.
- Balance gun and spell users for flexible combat.
02 / THE GUIDE
Environmental Awareness
Play a contract in a desert storm versus a haunted mine. Record how weather and terrain affect enemy spawn patterns, then adjust positioning and spell usage accordingly.
- Watch the weather; storms can alter visibility.
- Investigate unusual landmarks for hidden contracts.
03 / THE GUIDE
Upgrade Pathing
Test the impact of focusing perk points on headshots versus spell damage. Track bounty earnings and survival rates to see which path yields higher efficiency for your team.
- Mix spell damage with headshot focus for maximum bounty.
- Use fireball spells to crowd‑control groups before finishing with guns.
04 / THE GUIDE
Difficulty Scaling
Run the same contract on two difficulty levels. Observe enemy health, attack speed, and reward changes, then decide the optimal difficulty for steady progression.
- Prioritise perk paths that complement your teammates’ roles.
- Upgrade healing abilities early for longer co‑op sessions.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller vs Keyboard
Play a session using partial controller support and another with keyboard/mouse. Compare reaction times for switching between guns and spells, noting any comfort advantages.
- Adjust difficulty before tackling the giant ghost train.
- Enable controller support if you prefer gamepad comfort.
