Walkthrough
This is the first mission in which you are able to use a Gatling Gun. In the mission the Gatling is mounted inside West Dicken's stagecoach. As the stagecoach pulls inside, the back opens up and the posse is engaged in a fierce firefight with members of Williamson's gang. They will approach from directly in front of the wagon and to the right of it. The well in the center of the courtyard will crumble under enough concentrated fire, allowing easier aiming for some of the more hidden enemies. When they are dealt with, a search of the rest of the Fort reveals Williamson is not there, and the only inhabitants are a few of his goons. The last sequence of the mission has the player man the Gatling again and fend off reinforcements attacking the main gate of the fort. These reinforcements include both mounted and unmounted enemies, and 2 wagons with Gatling Guns mounted on them. You will fail the mission if Leigh Johnson or any Deputy dies. Once they've been dealt with, sit back and enjoy the treatment of prisoners in the old west!
Tips
- If the player is having trouble dealing with the two Gatling Gun wagons, there is a dynamite box on each of these wagons located slightly behind the driver. Simply shoot the boxes to take the wagons out easily.
- Make sure to check all the rooms in Fort Mercer; money, ammunition for Weapons, and other valuables can be found in chests hidden through the fort.
