Arizona Kid

Clayton James Spaulding (1877-), also known as the Arizona Kid, was an American gunfighter, bounty hunter, lawman, outlaw, stagecoach robber, hunter, treasure hunter, and vigilante of the late Wild West era. Born in the Arizona Territory, he was a petty criminal before working as a ranch hand in Maricopa County. In 1898, while taking part in a cattle drive to New Orleans, he was framed for the murder of Philip LeClerk, imprisoned at Sisika Penitentiary, and sentenced to death, but he was sprung from his prison cart by Samuel Horley a week before he was due to be executed. He went on to become a renowned gunfighter of the American West and American South, working on both sides of the law, while keeping the interests of the common Westerner in mind as he fought to protect honest farmers from hordes of outlaws, and also battled big business and the enforcers of the laws which benefited them.

Arizona was a supporter of the populist wing of the Democratic Party, as he was opposed to big business and its corrupt role in Western politics, the Republican Party's enforcement of civilization in the West, and the transition of the American West from a free and pastoral society to a civilized and strictly-governed society. Arizona was motivated by his belief in the uplifting of the common man, justifying his working with the law to protect caravans from outlaws, but also justifying his occasional fights against the law, such as when he robbed wealthy people's stagecoaches, rescued criminals from the overbearing law, and acted outside of the law to kill murderous outlaws. Arizona eschewed the racism which many other white Southerners held towards Black people during that time period, befriending the Black bounty hunter Iron-Sights Jones, as well as forming an unlikely partnership with the German immigrant hunter and murderer Little Pete.

Biography[]

Early life[]

Clayton James Spaulding was born in Tombstone, Arizona in 1877, the son of the Scots-Irish silver miner James Henry Spaulding and his Kentucky-born wife Maria Lockhart Evans. He spent his early childhood in Tombstone, where his father died in a mining accident when he was 4. His mother died of tuberculosis when he was 11, and Spaulding went on to become a vagabond on the streets of Flagstaff and Phoenix. He occasionally ran into trouble with the law for petty theft, but, by the age of 17, he had mostly mended his ways and become a ranch-hand-for-hire.

Prison time[]

Prison cart break — Samuel Horley freeing the prisoners.

In 1898, he took part in a cattle drive to Blackwater, Texas, but, at the same time as his entry into town, Philip LeClerk was murdered. The local law arrested Spaulding and a few other recent arrivals and framed them for the murder, and Spaulding - not wishing for his past criminal record to be used against him at the trial - gave his name as "Arizona", leading to him acquiring the nickname "the Arizona Kid". He was sentenced to death after a show trial and sent to Sisika Penitentiary as a prisoner, and, a week before he was to be executed, he was called up for a work detail near Rhodes, Louisiana. The prison cart was halted by Samuel Horley and a band of armed men, and the guards Blackwell Jenkins and Todd Milliken were forced to throw down their guns, let the prisoners run free, and then escape. Horley told all of the prisoners to disperse except for Arizona, whom he told to pick up the guns and follow him to meet his mistress.

Meeting Jessica[]

Arizona Kid meeting — Horley introducing Arizona to Jessica LeClerk

Horley took Arizona to meet his boss Jessica LeClerk, where Jessica told Arizona that she knew of his innocence because the bullets he carried did not match the bullets used in her husband's murder. She then showed him the pictures of the banker Jeremiah Shaw, her husband's business partner Amos Lancing, his wife Grace Lancing, the petty horse thief Teddy Brown, telling Arizona that they had murdered her husband in order to steal his land. She then told Arizona that she planned to have revenge for her husband's death, and that Arizona - with her blessing - would return the favor for his rescue by helping her. Horley then had him change into more comfortable clothing, and Jessica provided Arizona with food and wine before he went with Horley to meet J.B. Cripps. Cripps helped Arizona set up a camp in Bayou Nwa, and, while Cripps did so, Horley told Arizona to go to the station and meet with Clay Davies, a horse thief and business partner of his.

Bluewater Marsh shootout 1898 — Arizona engaging in a shootout with the Louisiana Raiders at Bluewater Marsh.

Arizona first travelled into Rhodes to speak with the postal agent Alden Carruthers, Horley's contact, and Alden told him of a band of stage robbers who were causing trouble for him and Horley's stage-robbing side hustle. He sent Arizona to Bluewater Marsh to attack the Louisiana Raiders hideout there, and Arizona killed all but one of them - Reuben Hart - who gave him a treasure map which he used to locate one of the Raiders' treasure stashes. After looting it, he rode to meet Clay Davies, who introduced him to his brother Clive Davies, who was also mute. Clay then recruited Arizona to steal a horse from the rival Gray family in Rhodes, and he would then have Arizona take the horse to an associate's stable in New Orleans. Arizona engaged in a shootout with the Grays at the stable, killing several of their guards and stable hands before fleeing atop a black horse. He rode through Caliga Hall, where he killed some more pursuers, and he then delivered the horse to New Orleans. There, Clay received the horse and gave Arizona a wad of money and told him to take any more stolen horses to him for resale; as a show of good faith, he let Arizona keep the black horse, whom Arizona named "Tom" and made his steed. Arizona returned to Rhodes, where he met Sheriff Leigh Gray and an African-American bounty hunter as she delivered the bodies of the Twin Peaks Gang for payment. She told Arizona that, if he wanted to become a bounty hunter, he would need to purchase a bounty hunting license for 15 gold bars, and Arizona then watched as she located and shot the hiding tenth member of the gang, who had attempted to escape from the wagon's open doors.

Arizona Kid 1898 — Arizona Kid in Valentine, 1898

Arizona - who needed more money to purchase a bounty hunting license - then rode to Valentine, Nebraska, where he got a haircut before accepting a contract to escort Alden and Hezekiah Poole's caravan from Nebraska to a new homestead in Oklahoma. Along the way, he helped to fight off outlaws who attempted to ambush and rob the convoy, killing several of them before taking the reins of the front wagon and increasing the convoy's speed. Ultimately, he succeeded in bringng the two wagons to the homestead in rural Oklahoma, where he was amply rewarded for his efforts. Arizona then came across a stranded traveller, Sarah Jane Childers, and he gave her a ride back to Valentine as she told him of how her previously-loyal horse had thrown her off and run off, and of how she felt happy for the horse due to its regained freedom. Arizona proceeded to take a stagecoach to Blackwater, Texas, where he planned to rendezvous with Horley.

Man of honor[]

Sheriff of Tumbleweed[]

Cliff Arizona Kid — Cliff Calhoun thanking the gunslingers

Once there, he met with Horley and Old Man Jones, and they convinced him to speak to the Sheriffs of Blackwater, Valentine, and Tumbleweed. Arizona hopped a train bound for the American Southwest, jumping off at Mercer Station and exploring Fort Mercer and much of the frontier before riding to Tumbleweed. There, he met with Sheriff Sam Freeman and the local citizen Terrence O'Dowd, who convinced him and the gunslingers Jebus Foles, Ned Cushing, and Wong Lu to help him rescue his wife Allison O'Dowd from the Twin Rocks Gang in New Mexico, warning them that she was much younger than him. The quartet reached the Twin Rocks hideout and killed the entire gang before barging into the hut and finding Allison and the gang's leader Cliff Calhoun hiding behind a wall. Allison revealed that she had run away from her husband, and Cliff told the outlaws that they were in love, and asked them to have a heart and let them escape. Arizona privately sought to carry out Terrence's contract, knowing that he would pay them more, but the rest of the gang voted to rescue the lovers, and Arizona joined them in protecting the lovers' wagon as they escaped from the town. Arizona, sitting on the back of the wagon, helped fight off Terrence's hired gunmen until the couple made it to a train station, where they resolved to start a new life somewhere hot, such as Mexico or Australia. They then gave a meager reward to Arizona and his fellow gunfighters, but the quartet's honorable choice became widely known.

Sheriff of Blackwater[]

Arizona Kid Kyle Loach — Arizona carrying a captive Kyle Loach

Arizona was later forced to flee from Tumbleweed due to the arrival of two troublesome and violent outlaws, riding to Rathskeller Fork before returning to Tumbleweed and being hired by Sheriff Freeman as an escort for Bud Hoover and Cal Newington, who rode from Tumbleweed to Fort Mercer aboard two caravan wagons. Arizona helped to fight off the outlaws who tried to ambush them, and, after Newington was killed, Arizona took over his wagon and saw the two wagons to the safety of the fort. He then visited Armadillo before riding to Pike's Basin to meet with the Sheriff of Blackwater Oswald Dunbar, the second of three sheriffs whom he was due to meet. Dunbar recruited him, Cal Hemsworth, Matt Channing, and Dusty Sands to help him capture a notorious conman, Kyle Loach, and the quartet entered the basin and proceeded to engage in a massive shootout with the Basin Gang. They succeeded in capturing Loach, who offered to pay them a large sum of money if they would switch his hat to a corpse's head and write him off as dead. However, the gunslingers unanimously agreed to turn him in, and they proceeded to kill all of the gang's reinforcements before delivering Loach to Dunbar at a nearby church.

Arizona Kid hunting Blackwater — Arizona riding into Blackwater with a hunted deer

After failing to find any gang hideouts in Arizona or New Mexico, Arizona rode to Texas and took up hunting for a while. He rode to Blackwater, which he made his home for a few days; for several days, he rode out of the town and into the Great Plains to lasso a deer and kill it with his knife, then taking its body to the butcher in Blackwater to sell its meat and pelt for a good price. One buck which he killed was worth $10, as it was in perfect condition. He continued to do this until the Stetson Gang rode into town to terrorize its populace, and helped the local citizens with killing all of the outlaws near the docks, doing a good deed for the town.

Sheriff of Valentine[]

Bob Crawfish tracks — Bob Crawfish on the tracks

Arizona then rode to meet with Valentine sheriff Curtis Malloy at the Painted Sky ranch, where he was joined by fellow gunslinger Wen Chung. They found Malloy arguing with local citizen Clinton Arnsdale about Bob Crawfish's unproven theft of Arnsdale's belongings, and, when Malloy refused to intervene, Arnsdale hired the men to capture Crawfish for him. The two men rode to the village of Limpany and shot their way through Crawfish's guards before Crawfish and his associate attempted to flee upriver on horseback. The two gunslingers lassoed the two fleeing thieves from their horses and delivered them to Arnsdale, who asked that his hired guns leave the men hogtied on the train tracks. He then left, and the two men begged for mercy. Arizona and Chung decided to move them off the tracks, refusing to kill them in cold blood, and the two men assured them that they would not hold grudges against them, and they then rode off.

Arizona Kid beans — Arizona eating beans at Gaptooth Breach

Arizona then rode to Blackwater to meet up with Horley and receive new instructions, and Old Man Jones praised Arizona for his honorable decisions. He and Horley recommended Arizona to US Marshal Tom Davies at Tall Trees, where he could find more work. Arizona went to Tall Trees, but he was unable to find another outlaw to join him in working for Davies, so he travelled to Manzanita Post and then took a train to Gaptooth Breach back in Arizona, hoping to find a gang hideout. He was again unable to find his next shootout, so he again left empty-handed.

A day later, he travelled back to Blackwater via Thieves' Landing and Quaker's Cove, and he met Alden's contact Hector Barlow at the Blackwater post office and was hired to escort a two-wagon caravan to Thieves' Landing. He rode with Mose Waters, and they had a friendly conversation about hunting in the Great Plains before they ran into several ambushes. The driver of the second wagon was killed, so Arizona left Waters' side to pilot the second wagon. However, Mose rode far ahead of Arizona, and he was killed in another ambush before Arizona could intercede. Arizona was forced to deliver the second wagon to Thieves' Landing before rushing back across the bridge to pilot the other one to the port's safety, earning his full payment despite the deaths of both wagon masters. On his return, he soon became involved in a shootout at nearby Quaker's Cove, where he helped a female Mexican bounty hunter fight off the Indianola Gang as she captured their leader Ricky West from the jetty in a moonlit shootout. Once again, Arizona received no great reward for his intercession, but he finally found another shootout to enjoy.

Rough patch[]

Meeting Shaky[]

Arizona Kid Thieves' Landing wagon — Arizona Kid arriving at Thieves' Landing with the wagon

Two days later, Arizona met with Hector Barlow at the Blackwater post office and accepted a job to drive a supply wagon to Thieves' Landing, although he was warned that the place had earned itself that nickname for a reason. Arizona, riding by himself, shot several outlaws - including Jimmie Kettles and Cornelius Brockman - and successfully delivered the goods to the Del Lobo Gang. Shortly after, he shot Caleb Van Cleve when Van Cleve attempted to shoot him at the docks, and, shortly after, Arizona spoke with the arms dealer Shaky at the dock. Shaky employed him as a gun-for-hire, sending him to track down and kill his former friend Ian Carmichael for stealing his girlfriend. Arizona tracked down Carmichael to Manteca Falls, where he killed him and several other Del Lobo Gang members; he also fought off several cougars which attempted to maul him.

Arizona Kid Jeb Colton — Arizona escorting Jeb Colton

Arizona then returned to Blackwater and agreed to escort Jeb Colton's wagon train to Manzanita Post, but Hector warned him that the road to Manzanita Post was highly dangerous. Indeed, Arizona succeeded in killing several ambushers, but a rival posse attacked the wagons with Molotov cocktails. Arizona was wounded and treated back in Blackwater, while both wagons were destroyed and he suffered a rare reversal, although it would not be the last in the coming days.

Meeting The Boy[]

Arizona Kid Bard's Crossing treasure — Arizona Kid looting the Bard's Crossing treasure

Upon recovering, Arizona discovered that he had a Bard's Crossing treasure map in his possession, so he rode from Blackwater to the Oklahoma side of Bard's Crossing and found a treasure chest on the northern cliff edge. He looted over $88 from the chest, as well as finding several belt buckles. Arizona then rode a short distance to Flatneck Station, where he met the outlaw "The Boy", who bragged about his achievements as a teenager and offered to make Arizona his paid "lackey". He told Arizona that an associate of his, the stage robber Caden Phelps, had been tracked down by a posse at Limpany, and he sent Arizona to rescue him. Arizona joined the shootout and killed all of the lawmen present, and he and Phelps rode off on the same horse. However, lawmen flooded the area during their escape attempt, and, while Arizona made it out alive, Phelps was shot in the back and killed, Arizona's second mission failure. Shortly after, he had his first encounter with the gypsy Madam Nazar at the riverbed, and, while Old Man Jones warned him against doing business with her, he took an interest in future business dealings; however, at the moment, he had no need for her products.

Arizona Kid Fairplay stagecoach — Arizona hijacking the coach

Arizona then returned to The Boy for another job, but his mission to track down and kill a rival posse failed, as the posse was on a fast-moving train which was impossible to catch up to. Arizona went on to ride to Valentine, where Alden recruited Arizona to retrieve a stolen wagon from the Cumberland Forest. Arizona hijacked the wagon near Fairplay, Park County, Colorado after a brief chase, killing the O'Driscoll Boys Cormac Dunleavy, Calum O'Kenny, Peadar McRoric, and Archie O'Scully in the process. However, a rival posse again ruined his mission, wounding him and stealing the wagon.

Arizona Limpany coach — Arizona escaping from Limpany with the coach

Arizona then returned to Alden at Valentine, where Alden tasked him with retrieving a lost coach from Limpany. He again faced the O'Driscolls, who had taken over Limpany as a temporary base. After a shootout with the many outlaws in the ghost town, Arizona hopped aboard the carriage and rode to Riggs Station, shooting at any O'Driscolls who chased him. He successfully delivered the carriage, and he was amply rewarded for his help.

Springfield CO explosion — Arizona destroying one of the crates at Springfield

Arizona then returned to The Boy, hoping to succeed in the third task that the Boy would give to him. The Boy told him of a gang of criminals who had stolen from Leviticus Cornwall without cutting him in on the action, and he recruited Arizona to head over to their homestead and smash what they had stolen. He rode across Bard's Crossing and found a homestead near Springfield, Baca County, Colorado, where the criminals had set up their base. There, he ambushed the Baca County Hoods gang and killed all of them after a lengthy shootout, and he dynamited two of their stolen crates while shooting the other ones to pieces. He was amply rewarded, and he decided to head to Riggs Station to take a job from Hector Barlow. He was hired to escort Cody Fallow and his caravan to Blackwater, but he was ambushed by a rival posse and by several outlaws, who killed Fallow and the other driver and destroyed the rear wagon. Arizona succeeded in delivering the first wagon to Blackwater, however, receiving a limited reward.

Return to the Southwest[]

Arizona Kid Sedona — Arizona recovering the wagon from the Sedona cave

Tired of rival posses interfering with his jobs, Arizona travelled back to Apache County, Arizona to do more work for Sheriff Freeman. Freeman told him that Benedict Rowlands' wagon had been stolen and taken to Gaptooth Ridge, which meant that the Del Lobo Gang was responsible. Arizona engaged in a massive shootout with the Del Lobos around their fire-lit campsite at Cueva Seca, and, after killing all of the outlaws, he retrieved Rowlands' wagon from the cave. He fought off several ambushers as he brought the wagon back to Tumbleweed, and he ultimately delivered it to a waiting Rowlands at his ranch.

Arizona Kid Tumbleweed saloon — Arizona drinking at the Tumbleweed saloon

Arizona deiced to lay low in the Tumbleweed area, hunting bighorn sheep and deer and selling their meat and pelts to the town butcher Bush Cosgrove. After spending a whole day hunting and accruing pelt money, Arizona returned to the Sheriff to accept the task of escorting a convoy to Fort Mercer. Arizona joined Harris Cowie and Robbie Donald's convoy, but Cowie was killed when a gang of outlaws ambushed the wagons in a treacherous mountain pass. Arizona took the reins of the lead wagon and continued on towards Fort Mercer, but Donald chose to go down a different road, leading to his own death in an ambush. After delivering Cowie's wagon to Fort Mercer, Arizona returned to Donald's wagon and delivered the second wagon to the fort, completing his task.

Hunter[]

Arizona Kid wolf — Arizona loading the wolf onto his horse

After this relatively successful delivery, Arizona rode to Benedict Station and met with Hector, who told him that a large wolf was terrorizing farms in the Gaptooth Ridge area, and that several local ranchers had collected money to post a bounty on it. Arizona tracked down the wolf after finding the bodies of two ranchers and investigating its tracks, and, after a drawn-out struggle, he killed the dark gray alpha wolf and loaded its body onto the horse. He then returned it to Benedict Point, where Hector verified its death, and he then gave Arizona his $9.82 reward.

Arizona Kid portrait — The Arizona Kid's portrait

Arizona then returned to his second home of Blackwater, where he planned to resume his usual hunting activities. He walked to the general store and purchased a Mexican vaquero shirt for one gold bar, and he then went to the town photographer to have a photograph taken of him with his hat and his guns. Shortly after, however, he decided to get a haircut, growing out his hair and stylizing his mustache; he then stayed at a hotel in Blackwater for a few days, relaxing from his work.

Going dark[]

Bushwhacking[]

Days later, Arizona was hired to escort Trevor Pauling and Ryder Price's wagon caravan from Blackwater to Thieves' Landing. This time, he and Pauling made it to Thieves' Landing alive, but Ryder was killed in a bandit ambush, forcing Arizona to return to Ryder's wagon, take the reins, and deliver the second wagon to Thieves' Landing for payment. Now that he was in Thieves' Landing again, Arizona decided to speak to Shaky, who hired him to bushwhack a wagon leaving Blackwater for Manzanita Post. Arizona - who had been angry at rival posses for ruining his own wagon escorts - decided to take out his anger by stealing one himself. He intercepted Homer Reeves' wagon in the Great Plains and killed him and his escorts, and he then drove it to Strawberry, Colorado without resistance, delivering it to a woman's cliffside homestead, where he was paid.

Arizona Kid hunting Heartlands — Arizona hunting in the Heartlands

While riding out of Strawberry, he noticed six armed men camped out at Fort Riggs, so he entered the fort and investigated. This resulted in a shootout, with Arizona killing two men before taking over a Maxim gun and using it to gun down a few reinforcements. He then cleared the cabin of outlaws, and he looted their bodies and also stole unattended cigarettes and cocaine gum from the camp. Afterwards, he decided to go hunting in the open plains and in the Caliban's Seat valley, hunting California valley coyote and whitetail deer and selling their carcasses in Valentine.

Arizona wagon Valentine — Arizona delivering the wagon to Valentine

While in Valentine, Arizona spoke to Alden, who hired him to intercept and recover another stolen wagon in the Cumberland Forest. He killed the driver Daire O'Farrell and took the wagon back to the Valentine sheriff's office, where he was paid for the wagon's delivery. He then purchased a bow at the gunsmith, and he rode to the banks of the Colorado River to search for animals. Instead, he decided to walk along the rocky riverbanks and even swim down the river, and, whenever he grew tired, he ate beans and apples to replenish his stamina.

Arizona Kid stagecoach robbery — Arizona robbing the stagecoach

Arizona later returned to Valentine, where he visited the saloon, drank a beer, and met with the Boy, whom he did not expect to see in town. The Boy hired him to rob a stagecoach owned by Clayne Cardon near town, and Arizona's ambush scared the coach driver and his guards, leading to a chase which took them into the plains of Oklahoma. There, Arizona finally succeeded in killing the driver and his guards, stealing their money bag, and taking it to the Boy's contact on the banks of the Colorado, where Arizona was paid $9 for his help. He acquired a 10¢ bounty in Colorado and a 5¢ bounty in Nebraska for his crimes, but he paid off his Nebraska bounty on his return to Valentine.

Arizona coach Riggs Station — Arizona delivering the coach to Riggs Station

Arizona also accepted another job to Alden, which would involve the rescue of a missing stagecoach from the O'Driscolls at Limpany. Arizona shot over a dozen outlaws dead in a gunfight at dawn, and he then brought the carriage back to Alden and was paid $38.12 for his efforts. He then found The Boy at Flatneck Station and was hired to again deal with the Baca County Hoods, who had returned to their homestead with more stolen goods. He killed all of the gang members and shot their looted crates to pieces, and he was given $7.75 as a reward.

Arizona Kid rowing — Arizona delivering the boat

Shortly after, Arizona met Hector at Riggs Station and agreed to steal a boat on the Colorado River from some smugglers affiliated with the O'Driscoll Boys. Arizona was told that he would be paid more if he did not kill them, but, when Arizona arrived, they began to shoot at them. Arizona lassoed all of them and dragged them into the river, holding them under until all of them drowned; he hoped that this would not count as him murdering them, as he wanted the maximum payment. He then paddled the boat to the drop-off upriver, where he was paid $12.02 for the delivery.

Southwestern shootouts[]

Arizona Kid wagon desert ambush — Arizona fighting off Del Lobo Gang ambushers

Afterwards, Arizona decided to travel to Tumbleweed, where he resumed working for Sheriff Freeman. Benedict Rowlands' wagon was stolen once again, so Arizona was sent to retrieve the wagon from Cueva Seca, where he killed several Del Lobos in a shootout and returned the wagon to Rowlands' ranch at Tumbleweed. He then rode to Benedict Point, where Hector hired him to escort Austin MacGilfoyle's caravan to Rathskeller Fork. They were ambushed by Del Lobos and other bandits from the cliffsides and valleys, but all three of them ultimately made it to Rathskeller Fork alive.

Arizona stage robbery — Arizona stalking a stagecoach from above

Afterwards, Arizona came across Shaky at a remote camp in Cholla Springs, New Mexico, and Shaky hired him to rob a stagecoach in Arizona. He tracked down the stagecoach to Round Rock, Apache County, where he killed its guards and robbed Josephus A. Haverhill of his money bag before sparing him. He then escaped aboard the stagecoach, fleeing the law without firing a single shot, and delivering the money bags to Shaky's associate Jesus Robles, who gave him $10.78 as a reward. He then spoke to Robles and was tipped off about a second stagecoach, which he opened fire on near Tumbleweed and intercepted near Gaptooth Breach after a long chase. This time, the occupant fled, leaving the money bag behind for Arizona to take. Arizona then delivered this to Robles as well, and he was paid $16.59.

Midwestern adventures[]

Arizona Kid Blackbone — Arizona finding the Blackbone Forest treasure

Afterwards, Arizona picked up some mail at Riggs Station, discovering that he had been sent a treasure map for the Blackbone Forest in Colorado, and he planned out his next adventure. He rode deep into the wilderness, riding past Owanjila and finding the treasure chest in the woods; he looted $117.83 and several gold nuggets. Arizona proceeded to ride into Strawberry, where he sold a wolf carcass and met with Hector Barlow and agreed to hijack a carriage which had left Owanjila and was riding through Blackbone Forest. Arizona pushed Philip Redcross off of the carriage and attempted to escape without killing the guards, bolting through the woods. However, just as he was descending a hill into Strawberry, one of the carriage's original guards, Shad Cays, shot a wheel off of the carriage, ruining it and preventing Arizona from collecting his payment. In retaliation, he chased down the other security guard, Packer Holden, and shot him dead. However, Cays escaped, and Arizona was unable to take his revenge on him.

Arizona Kid wagon robbery Heartlands — Arizona fighting off the pursuers

Arizona then returned to Strawberry, where he bought himself a winter coat and other provisions. He proceeded to ride to Flatneck Station, where The Boy hired him to hijack a government-requisitioned wagon en route to Emerald Ranch from Valentine. Arizona ambushed the wagon near Twin Stack Pass in Oklahoma, and he killed its guards before climbing aboard, fighting off pursuers, and delivering the wagon to Old Greenbank Mill in Bossier Parish, Louisiana where he was paid $13.15 for the wagon. Arizona then ventured into Valentine, where he bought more provisions and drank in the saloon before heading over to the train station to speak with Alden about another job. He was given the simple task of delivering Lovejoy Rainer his mail, and Arizona was paid $2.16 after doing so.

The Rockies[]

Arizona Kid Wyoming — Arizona in Wyoming

As he was now in possession of cold-weather clothing, Arizona decided to explore the Rockies, where he had never been before. He crossed Cattail Pond, rode north along Beartooth Beck branch of the Green River, past Lake Isabella, and into snowy Wyoming. Arizona and his horse rode through freezing weather, and Arizona briefly tried his hand at hunting with his bow and arrow before riding farther north. He travelled to Cairn Lake in Johnson County, where he found a torch-lit lodge by the lake and entered it, searching for any sign of life in the desolate Rockies.

Meeting Flaco Hernandez[]

Arizona Kid Flaco — Arizona meeting Flaco Hernandez

Arizona was then held at gunpoint by Flaco Hernandez, a Mexican outlaw who had been hiding out in the Rockies for several years. Hernandez figured that he was a drifter in search of work, and he recognized him from his reputation. He entertained himself by keeping Arizona on his toes with several gunshots, and he then decided to hire Arizona to track down and kill off a rival gang near Lake Isabella, reasoning that there could only be one gang in the desolate north. Arizona was sent to track them down, and he used their footprints to find and eliminate the Rock Springs Gang. The last man he killed was their leader Hank Burrows, whom he killed with two arrows.

Meeting Jake Adler[]

Arizona Kid carriage Wyoming — Arizona recovering the carriage

With this job complete, Arizona travelled across the Montana state line and arrived at the Adler Ranch, where he entered the home and found the rancher Jake Adler. Jake deduced that Arizona was not there to rob him, and he calmed his wife Sadie down when she aimed a rifle at Arizona and threatened to shoot him if he tried to harm them. Jake recruited Arizona to retrieve a stolen cart from a gang which had taken it to Lake Isabella, and Jake promised payment to Arizona. Arizona promptly rode the long distance south, crossing through Colter and over Spider Gorge. He located the carriage near La Barge, Wyoming, and he killed the outlaws protecting it before riding through Colter, fighting off ambushers, and successfully delivering the wagon to the Adlers', receiving $19 as a reward.

Continued travels[]

Arizona, tired of living far from civilization, returned to the Southwest after briefly visiting the Wapiti reservation in South Dakota, paying $5 for transport to Armadillo and riding to meet Shaky in Cholla Springs. Shaky hired him to steal a horse from the Pleasance House at Torreon, Sandoval County, so Arizona ran to the farm and killed several ranchers in a massive shootout. He then stole the horse and rode it into Tumbleweed, where he delivered it to Shaky's contact Josey McGillis and was paid $11.76.

Arizona Kid Solomon's Folly — Arizona shooting a Del Lobo at Solomon's Folly

That same evening, Arizona spoke to Sheriff Freeman and was handed a telegram informing him of a wagon reported missing, last seen at Solomon's Folly (near Clifton in Greenlee County, Arizona), southwest of Benedict Point. Arizona rode to the abandoned farm, which was crawling with Del Lobo Gang members. After a massive shootout, he killed all of the outlaws and stole the wagon, and he was then forced to ride all the way to Tumbleweed. Hoping to avoid an ambush at Jorge's Gap and take a shortcut, Arizona inadvertently rode into rocky cliffs, allowing for the horse to break free, leading to him failing to return the carriage to Tumbleweed.

Arizona Kid IRS shootout — Arizona fighting the revenue agents

A day later, Arizona became involved in a shootout with revenue agents near Springerville, Apache County (not far from Tumbleweed) after they fired on him, mistaking him for a moonshiner. Arizona killed almost a dozen agents, and he looted many of their bodies. He then headed into Tumbleweed to speak with Sheriff Freeman, who hired him to retrieve a stolen buggy from Gaptooth Breach. Arizona was promised extra money if he would not kill any of the owners of the buggy, and he lassoed the driver from the buggy and a guard from his horse before being wounded by another guard. On recovering, he shot the guard Hogan Peters, ruining his chances of getting the bonus, but he was ultimately paid $6.06 on his return.

Hamlin's Passing shootout Arizona Kid — Arizona shooting it out with the rival outlaws at Hamlin's Passing

Arizona then rode to Cholla Springs, where Shaky hired Arizona to head over to Hamlin's Passing and kill several gang members there. Arizona engaged in a shootout with the Whitehorse Gang, killing all but three of them at their camp. He chased after two more of them and killed them, but his horse threw him off as he chased down the last criminal. Arizona failed to kill him in time to collect the reward for the contract, but he ultimately shot him several times in the back. Arizona then returned to Tumbleweed, had a drink at the saloon, and rode to Ridgewood Farm, from which he booked passage to Colter, Wyoming, as he sought to return to the Rockies and make more easy money.

Return to the Rockies[]

Arizona Kid Lake Isabella riding — Arizona riding up to the stolen cart

Arizona rode to the Adler Ranch on the Montana border, where he spoke with Jake Adler. Adler welcomed him back, and assured Arizona that Sadie would not interrupt them; he also jokingly asked him not to tell Sadie that Arizona saw him putting his feet up on the table. He then told Arizona that a friend of his went missing near Lake Isabella a week ago, and that he wanted Arizona to investigate and bring back the wagon. Adler warned Arizona that there was no shortage of outlaws in the mountains, and told Arizona to be careful. Arizona rode to the lake and found a group of armed men of the Skinner Brothers gang waiting for him, and he proceeded to kill all of them before hopping on the wagon and taking it to the Adlers' ranch. There, Jake Adler paid him $17.08 for his help.

Arizona destroying Skinner Brothers stash — Arizona destroying the Skinner Brothers' stash

With this task done, Arizona visited the glacier at the source of Spider Gorge, but he was deterred from further exploration by thick black smoke. He rode south to Cairn Lake, where he met with Flaco once again. Flaco told him that the Skinner Brothers had refused to pay tribute to him, so he sent Arizona to Colter to wipe out everything they had. Arizona snuck into a barn, where he killed Martin Soepenberg with a gunshot before butting two outlaws down with his rifle and initiating a shootout. He killed all of the outlaws before destroying two of the contraband crates by shooting nearby dynamite, and shooting the third contraband crate to pieces with his revolver.

Arizona Kid Cattail Pond treasure — Arizona looting the Cattail Pond treasure

During the Colter shootout, Arizona discovered a treasure map for the Cattail Pond area in Grand County, Colorado, motivating him to leave the mountains and search for the treasure. He found it next to a rock on a hillside next to the pond, and he found $94.28 in a lockbox, taking it and some gold nuggets and tonics.

This achieved, he returned to Valentine and decided to visit the saloon, where he got drinks at the saloon and mingled with the nighttime crowd before meeting with The Boy at his camp. Arizona agreed to help him kidnap a rich old man, Horace Forester, who was en route to Emerald Ranch, and he again laid an ambush at Twin Stack Pass. He killed two of Forester's horse-mounted bodyguards before shooting his cowering guards in the wagon, forcing Forester to exit the wagon and attempt to flee. Arizona lassoed him, hogtied him, and stowed him on his horse, and he was forced to kill two pursuing lawmen before he escaped to Old Greenbank Mill and delivered him to The Boy's associate Clint Weathers. Arizona was paid $14.82 for the job.

Going South[]

Arizona Kid Braithwaite Manor coach — Arizona delivering the coach to Braithwaite Manor

Now that he was back in Louisiana, Arizona decided to ride to Rhodes, where he spoke with the postal clerk Alden. Alden told him that a stagecoach had been stolen nearby, and he hired Arizona to retrieve it. He intercepted the coach south of Rhodes, killing the thieves George A. Pink, Jason Loman Smith, Antonius M. Williams, and Quentin K. Buchanan before delivering the coach to Braithwaite Manor and being paid $10.39 for his efforts.

Arizona Kid riding into Blackwater pronghorn — Arizona riding into Blackwater with a pronghorn carcass

Arizona then returned to Blackwater and engaged in hunting before working for Hector in delivering mail to five mailboxes, including ones at Fort Riggs, in the Great Plains, and in Blackwater itself. He was occasionally forced to kill outlaws who attempted to ambush him, and, on delivering the last parcel to Maybelle Brooks, he was paid $15.06. Arizona then returned to the Great Plains, hunting several high-quality animals such as deer and elk and bringing their carcasses back to the butcher for sale. One perfect pronghorn carcass earned him $6.50.

Adventures in New Orleans and the Midwest[]

Arizona Kid Rhodes convoy — The Arizona Kid escorting the wagon to Rhodes, Louisiana

Weeks later, Arizona returned to Tumbleweed, where Sheriff Freeman hired him to retrieve a stolen carriage from Cueva Seca. Arizona killed the Del Lobo gang members there and retrieved the carriage, but, as he shot the pursuing outlaws, he accidentally crashed the wagon against nearby rocks, destroying it and terminating his job. Disappointed by the results, Arizona decided to travel to Valentine, where he took up a job escorting Eugene Cooper and his wagon down to Rhodes, Louisiana. He ensured Cooper's survival, but the second wagonmaster, Jamie Crowe, was killed by bandits after falling far behind the first wagon in the plains. Arizona failed to deliver the second wagon in time, even despite taking it through woodland and marshland to the outskirts of Rhodes, but he was ultimately paid $16.03. Arizona briefly ventured into Rhodes, where he found the body of local African-American man Reuben Howard, whose head had been shot off by a local outlaw; shortly after, Arizona was surprised from behind by the outlaw, who hogtied him and shot him. Arizona narrowly survived, and he fled Rhodes rather than face his death.

First visit to New Orleans[]

Arizona Kid Irish pub New Orleans — Arizona Kid drinking at an Irish pub in New Orleans

Arizona then rode into New Orleans for the first time, walking the streets and exploring the city. He visited Chinatown and the French Quarter, and he also stopped by an Irish pub, where he drank whiskey at a pub frequented by Chinese immigrant laborers and white prostitutes (as well as a few African-Americans). After his visit to New Orleans, Arizona then rode through Oklahoma and to Valentine, where he visited the Valentine saloon.

Stay in Valentine[]

Arizona Caliban's Seat — Arizona rescuing the wagon from Caliban's Seat

While in Valentine, Arizona met with Alden at the railroad station and was hired to retrieve a stolen wagon from Caliban's Seat. Arizona arrived in the woods of Thomas County, where he found the gang of O'Driscoll Boys sitting around a campfire with the wagon in town. Arizona killed all of the outlaws before driving the wagon back to Valentine, where he was paid well for its successful recovery. Arizona then stayed in Valentine for the night and also visited Strawberry, Colorado, where he failed to find any animals to hunt, so he instead decided to return to Valentine to continue making money.

Arizona hunting Valentine bluff — The Arizona Kid hunting near Valentine

Arizona returned to Valentine, where he met with the frontiersman and outlaw Magnus Mitchell at the tavern. Mitchell, a hard-drinking, bearskin-wearing gunslinger, followed Arizona around the bar, so Arizona decided to leave the town rather than risk Mitchell shooting him. Arizona rode out and hunted a California Valley Coyote from a nearby bluff, and he mounted the deer onto his horse and brought it back into town for sale. He went on to spend much of his time around the Valentine area over the following days.

Adventures with Little Pete[]

Meeting Little Pete[]

Arizona Kid US Marshals Valentine — The Arizona Kid watching the US Marshals ride out of Valentine

One day, while Arizona was riding around Valentine, he was disturbed by the sound of gunshots. He found the German-American criminal Little Pete shooting a wagon driver and a nearby horse rider, and he was taken by surprise when Little Pete hopped on the back of his horse. The US Marshals responding to the murders mistakenly believed that the Arizona Kid was Little Pete's accomplice, and the two men were driven out of town by a volley of gunshots. They ultimately evaded the law, and Arizona paid off his small bounty. While initially taken aback by Little Pete's murderous rampage, the Arizona Kid saw the value in working with another gunslinger in making more money, and he convinced the mute murderer to join him in recovering a stolen wagon from Cattail Pond on behalf of Alden Carruthers.

Arizona Kid Little Pete Cattail Pond — The Arizona Kid and Little Pete approaching the wagon's location

As Little Pete did not have a horse of his own, he hopped on the back of Arizona's horse, and they rode to Cattail Pond, where Arizona was expecting to find the O'Driscoll Boys. Instead, they found a deserted campsite with two dead bodies, and they were ambushed by a Grizzly bear, which promptly savaged the Arizona Kid and left him badly wounded. Little Pete attempted to intercede with a shotgun, but he fared no better than his new friend. While Little Pete was being mauled, Arizona rode off with the carriage, taking advantage of the distraction. He rode past an O'Driscoll ambush along the way, but Little Pete, who was trying to follow Arizona back to town, was forced to engage in a shootout with the two surviving O'Driscolls with his back against a rock. Arizona ultimately delivered the carriage, and he and Little Pete were each paid $20 for their efforts.

Arizona Kid Little Pete — The Arizona Kid riding with Little Pete near Cattail Pond

Arizona then rode back into the mountains to meet with Little Pete, where he watched as Little Pete miraculously survived a tremendous fall from a cliffside. Shortly after, as Arizona approached the riverbank, he watched Little Pete hogtie a stranger, and, hoping to put the stranger out of his misery, he shot the hogtied stranger once with his rifle, killing him. Little Pete proceeded to procure eleven cents from the dead man's body. Little Pete used this scant currency to pay off his bounty, ensuring that both of the men were now free to travel unimpeded.

Parting ways with Pete[]

Arizona Kid rescuing carriage — Arizona rescuing a carriage from Lagras

Arizona and Little Pete proceeded to ride back to Valentine, after which Arizona offered to show his new associate the city of New Orleans. The two of them rode across the Great Plains, and Arizona was again surprised when Little Pete ditched his scrawny nag and jumped onto the back of Arizona's horse mid-ride. During the ride through Scarlett Meadows, Little Pete shot several riders along the road, to Arizona's chagrin, although the lack of witnesses allowed the two men to continue their journey without the law's attention. Ultimately, Little Pete decided to stay at a brothel in New Orleans as Arizona decided to continue earning currency through his adventures; while Arizona's first brush with Little Pete had nearly resulted in his death at the hands of the law, he ultimately decided to form an unlikely association with him. While in the city, Arizona decided to meet with Alden's contact Angus Elliston, who told him about a carriage which had been stolen. Arizona tracked the wagon down to Lagras and killed the Louisiana Raiders guarding it before taking it back to the city for payment; he was paid $8.83 for his success.

Activities in Louisiana[]

Arizona Kid treasure chest Southfield Flats — The Arizona Kid finding a treasure chest in Southfield Flats

Afterwards, Arizona discovered that he had received a treasure map in the mail, directing him to the woods near Southfield Flats in rural northwestern Louisiana. After a brief search, Arizona located the treasure chest by a tree trunk, looting $131.85 and several gold pieces. While riding through the countryside, he came across the hideout of the African-American outlaw gang leader Anthony Foreman, and Foreman decided to hire the gunslinger to kidnap Jackson James as he rode out of New Orleans in a carriage. Arizona ambushed the carriage between Rhodes in the west and Caliga Hall in the east, killing the guards and lassoing, hogtying, and riding off with James. He killed two pursuing lawmen before delivering James to a building near Braithwaite Manor, where he was paid $10.78.

Arizona Lagras convoy — Arizona shooting his way past the ambushing Raiders

Arizona then rode to Rhodes, where Alden hired him to escort a convoy from Rhodes to Lagras. He accompanied Theo Simpson as he and another wagon driver took their wagons up the rural dirt road to Lagras, and Arizona helped to shoot the Raiders who attempted to hijack or destroy the wagons. Ultimately, both of the wagons were delivered to Callum Dixon at the fishing village, and Arizona was paid $10.78 for the escort job.

Arizona Kid Wyoming delivery — Arizona delivering a parcel in Wyoming

Arizona, worried about the presence of outlaws in the area, decided to return to Wyoming after a while away from the snowy Rockies. Having bought a new coat in New Orleans, he rode from the town of Colter, Wyoming to the Adler Ranch in Montana, where he met with Sadie Adler. She commended him for helping her husband Jake and gave him a letter from Jake which instructed him to deliver several parcels to people in Wyoming. Arizona rode his horse through the Rockies and made his deliveries, one of them involving a run-in with a Skinner Brother at his hut, resulting in the Skinner Brother's death. Arizona was paid $14.16 after dropping off the last parcel at Grant Fisher's residence, and he then rode to Valentine after spending a period in the wilderness eating wild carrots, raspberries, and oregano.

Bolt-action rifleman[]

Arizona Kid sliced turkey — Arizona watching Cooper McTavish slice his turkey

Once back at his usual residence of Valentine, Arizona decided to go hunting. He hunted a black squirrel and brought it back to town, selling it to the butcher Cooper McTavish. He then returned to the wilderness, where he shot a wild turkey with his varmint rifle and brought it back to McTavish as well. After briefly watching McTavish slice the turkey into filets for sale, Arizona went to the gun store to purchase ammunition, and he also purchased a European bolt-action rifle after finding that it was currently discounted.

Arizona Kid Benson Dickerson — The Arizona Kid escorting Benson Dickerson's convoy out of the town

Arizona decided to put his new rifle to use by escorting Benson Dickerson as he led a two-wagon train from Valentine to Rhodes. Unfortunately for Arizona, a mischievous outlaw followed the train into the Great Plains and ambushed the wagon train, wounding Arizona several times with gunshot wounds. Just then, Little Pete emerged from the plains and rescued Arizona, helping to fend off the ambusher (as well as another outlaw) as Arizona took the lead wagon to Rhodes and was ultimately paid $14.17 for his efforts. When Arizona rode back to Valentine, Little Pete was nowhere to be found, as he had ridden off after a series of intense shootouts with the ambushers.

Arizona recovering carriage Louisiana — Arizona recovering the stolen carriage from rural Louisiana

Arizona then rode to Rhodes, where he met with the station clerk Alden Carruthers and was hired to recover a stolen carriage. Arizona found the wagon on a rural road, where he ambushed the thieves and killed the outlaws Ellis Cook, Kyle McCallum, and Jasper Dunlop before returning the wagon to Braithwaite Manor for $5.86. Back in Rhodes, Arizona was rejoined by Little Pete (who greeted him by pulling him from his horse and nearly killing him), and Arizona agreed to help Little Pete make money.

Arizona Kid Little Pete murder scene — The Arizona Kid watching Little Pete murder a passer-by

Arizona and Little Pete rode through the cotton fields and rural roads, with Little Pete shooting several passers-by along the way, lassoing random horse riders and dragging them along the road until they died, stealing several horses, and also shooting several animals along the way. Arizona and Little Pete briefly stopped on the roadside to engage in hunting, but Little Pete was targeted by a gang of outlaws who randomly shot at him as Arizona, who was hunting further up the road, peacefully stalked his animal prey. Upon seeing Little Pete flee from the gang of outlaws, Arizona mounted up, and he and Little Pete rode on out of Louisiana and into Texas.

Rescuing Miguel Fernandino[]

Arizona Kid Fernandino camp site — Arizona investigating the campsite

Shortly after crossing into Texas, Arizona was alerted by Little Pete, who pointed out a campfire in the distance. The two men rode towards the camp to investigate it, and they found a Mexican man, Miguel Fernandino, being confronted by a gang of Skinner Brothers who mistook him for a wanted man and intended to claim his bounty. Arizona and Pete killed all of the outlaws, and Fernandino told Arizona that he was an innocent man, and that the criminals must have believed that all Mexicans looked alike; it was likely that the outlaws had mistaken him for Javier Escuella. Arizona, Pete, and Fernandino proceeded to ride off towards Thieves' Landing, where Fernandino had friends. However, they were ambushed by several more outlaws in the Great Plains, and, just before Arizona could cross the Brazos River, he was ambushed and injured by several outlaws. Meanwhile, Little Pete - who had been seeking a way to maximize his hunting efficiency - visited Blackwater in search of a varmint rifle. When Arizona recovered from his wounds, he killed all of the ambushers, but he found Fernandino uncooperative, as he had been so shaken by his near-death experience that he refused to move. Arizona repeatedly failed to convince Fernandino to accompany him across the river to his destination, and, while they had come so close to reaching Thieves' Landing, Fernandino was ultimately indisposed to accompany Arizona into the town.

Hunting with Little Pete[]

Arizona Kid deer Blackwater — Arizona bringing a deer to the butcher in Blackwater

Arizona promptly decided to meet up with Little Pete in the Great Plains, where Little Pete had gone after finding that a varmint rifle was too expensive to purchase. The two of them engaged in hunting, with Pete shooting a bison dead and Arizona hunting a deer. They then took their hunting goods into town for sale, where they sold the animal meat and pelts to the butcher for a meager sum. They engaged in hunting around Blackwater before riding up the railroad track and hopping on a coal train after it stopped at MacFarlane's Ranch.

Arizona Kid Little Pete Arizona — The Arizona Kid and Little Pete riding through Arizona

During the train ride, Arizona promoted the view of the Cholla Springs desert to Little Pete, who had not yet been to the Southwest. Pete shot at several wild animals along the way, and he later made his way to the frontal car, threw out the driver, and took control of the train. Arizona jumped from the train when it neared Tumbleweed, where he promised Pete employment by Sheriff Sam Freeman. Pete missed the cue and continued to drive the train before realizing that Arizona had jumped, upon which he, too, jumped, and let the train run on without a driver. Arizona then rode towards Tumbleweed as Pete caught up, with Pete ambushing and killing two passers-by and stealing a horse before following Arizona into the town.

Little Pete barfight — Little Pete getting into a barfight

Arizona then introduced Little Pete to the saloon of Tumbleweed; while Arizona drank some whiskey, Little Pete started a barfight with two of the patrons, knocking out one of them before being floored by the other. After Pete recovered, Arizona decided to speak to Sheriff Freeman to find employment for the two men. Pete was busy searching for a new gun at the store, but the varmint gun was too expensive, and the bow was even more expensive due to its Native craftsmanship. Arizona was asked to escort the respected local figure Hugh Gibbons to Gaptooth Ridge, and he ensured that both wagons were protected from the Del Lobo Gang ambushers along the way. Little Pete eventually caught up and jumped on the side of the second wagon just before it reached its destination, and the two men were paid $11 each.

Arizona Kid Pete hunting Tumbleweed — Arizona and Pete hunting near Tumbleweed

Arizona and Pete then decided to go hunting in the desert, where Arizona used his bow and arrow to hunt deers and small animals, and Pete used his lasso to catch animals before stabbing them in the neck with his knife. The two of them would go on to bring their kills back to the Tumbleweed butcher for sale, and they engaged in hunting around Tumbleweed until they were attacked by a mischievous outlaw with a sniper rifle. Little Pete decided to part ways with Arizona during the shooting, and Arizona decided to travel to Strawberry, Colorado rather than have to fight off the criminal.

Arizona Kid stolen buggy Strawberry — Arizona returning the stolen buggy to Strawberry

There, Arizona was hired by Hector Barlow to reposess a buggy driven by an acquaintance of Barlow's as it passed through the Blackbone Forest. Arizona lassoed the driver of the buggy after killing his guards, and he proceeded to drive the buggy through the woods from Owanjila to Strawberry while shooting his pursuers. Arizona arrived in Strawberry with the buggy, and he was paid $6.06 for his help. Afterwards, Arizona went on to hunt several animals in the area and sell them at the butcher in town.

Arizona Kid rescuing Clarence — Arizona rescuing Clarence Mason

Arizona then met with The Boy at Flatneck Station, where "the Boy" hired Arizona to rescue his outlaw friend Clarence Mason and two of his associates from captivity at the Whiskey Tree. Arizona rode to the campsite under the tree, where he killed the lawmen and rescued Mason, Grayson Douglas, and Summer McCallum from their captors after a brief shootout. They then mounted the lawmen's wagon, and Arizona set out for Rhodes. However, as the wagon descended the steep hill, it was beset by three US Marshals, who wounded Arizona and felled him from the wagon. Arizona, once recovered, returned to the wagon and killed the Marshals, only to find that Mason had been killed. The wagon had also crashed into a tree, killing the horses, so Arizona decided to take McCallum to Rhodes; Douglas would have to fend for himself until Arizona could deliver Summer to safety. He was killed while Arizona and Summer rode into Louisiana. Once in Louisiana, Arizona and Summer were ambushed by US Marshal Jackson Fisher, who shot Summer in the back and killed her. Arizona then chased Fisher down and shot him dead before he could escape; he avenged the deaths of the three outlaws, but he failed in his task of helping the three outlaws escape alive.

Arizona Kid overlooking Tumbleweed desert — The Arizona Kid scouring the desert for prey

Arizona rested in Rhodes for the night before deciding to join Little Pete in Tumbleweed, Arizona the next day. For several hours, the two reunited friends went hunting in the vast desert of Gaptooth Ridge. While Little Pete - using his lasso and knife or just his usual firearms - focused on the quantity of his sold goods rather than quality (his bullets damaged the animals' pelts and meat and thus depreciated their quality), Arizona used the bluff overlooking the desert to spot packs of pronghorn does and other valuable animals and would use his bow and arrow to kill them from afar. Many of the animals he killed slowly bled out, as his single arrow would mortally wound them, but a second arrow would cause their pelts to be less intact and thus less valuable. Arizona raked up over $40 worth of pelts and meat after selling them to the butcher, while Little Pete made over $20 with his goods.

Arizona Kid returning buggy Tumbleweed — Arizona Kid returning the buggy to Tumbleweed

At the same time, Arizona decided to do work for Sheriff Freeman to make more money. Sheriff Freeman assigned him to recover a stolen carriage from Harrison Butler, whom Arizona intercepted and shot near Gaptooth Ridge, also killing his guards. Arizona then drove the buggy back to Tumbleweed, where he was paid $2.76 for his help. Arizona then returned to take part in more hunting with Little Pete, who occasionally gifted him killed birds or small critters to be taken back to the butcher; they continued to make money together until Arizona decided that he wanted a change of scenery, and he decided to travel to Valentine, anticipating that Little Pete would come with him.

Arizona Kid Eden Gibb — Arizona protecting Eden Gibb's wagon

However, Little Pete decided to engage in hunting as far as Gaptooth Breach to the west and Fort Mercer in the east, so Arizona - rather than wait for Little Pete to arrive - decided to work for Alden in Valentine. He agreed to escort Eden Gibb's carriage from Valentine to Rhodes, protecting it from the O'Driscoll Boys in the Heartlands and from the Louisiana Raiders in Louisiana. He ensured that the caravan safely reached Rhodes and was paid over $18 for its successful arrival. Shortly after, he was joined in Rhodes by Little Pete.

Pete and Arizona's Louisiana adventures[]

Arizona Kid Sidney Talley — The Arizona Kid delivering a mail satchel to Sidney Talley

Arizona and Pete decided to ride to New Orleans to seek more work, and, once in the city, Little Pete paid off his 10¢ bounty at the Victory Street Trolley Station, where Arizona spoke to Angus Elliston for another job. Angus told him that the postman had called in sick with dysentery, so he had Arizona deliver four parcels across the state; he said that Arizona was lucky, as he was not confined to a small room in a train station like him. Arizona's first drop was in a French Quarter mansion, and he then rode to a shrimper's desolate shack to drop off another envelope, and then to a roadside house where he was ambushed by the Louisiana Raiders. After killing his attackers, he delivered the final parcel to Sidney Talley at his farm, and he killed the Raiders Ollie Baxter and Luke Dixon before making the final delivery and being paid $13.75. It was then that Little Pete caught up with him, and the two of them rode off to find work elsewhere.

Arizona Old Greenbank Mill supplies — Arizona at the Old Greenbank Mill

Arizona and Little Pete proceeded to meet up with Anthony Foreman at his hideout, and Foreman gave Arizona a letter instructing him to destroy the supplies of the racist Raiders at the Old Greenbank Mill. Arizona rode to the mill and engaged in a moonlit shootout with the neo-Confederate outlaws before destroying all of their supplies, two of them by shooting them up, and one by shooting a powder keg sitting next to it. With the supplies eliminated, Arizona successfully sent a blow to the Raiders. Little Pete took part in the scavenging of the scene before riding with Arizona to investigate a nearby campsite, where they found the local official Landry Little being held captive by the Raiders. The two criminals overpowered the Raiders, killing all of them; Little Pete even hogtied one of them before Arizona executed him with a rifle shot. Arizona then set the official free, and the grateful Little gave Arizona $10 for helping him. Arizona and Little Pete then decided to part ways for the time being so that each of them could rest from their work.

Some time later, Arizona escorted the wagon driver Olen P. McClure to Strawberry, with Little Pete eventually catching up to Arizona and hopping on the second wagon to join him. The two friends ensured that the wagons arrived safely, upon which Arizona suggested that the two ride to Wallace Station to find more work. There, they found Angus waiting for them with a job: a wagon theft in Big Valley. Arizona and Pete carried out the job at night with little resistance, earning $5.86 each.

Meeting Mama Watson[]

Pete and Arizona rescuing the Russell Brothers

While riding through the wilderness, Arizona came across a mysterious cabin, which he decided to investigate. There, he was greeted by Mama Watson, the brother of the outlaw Watson Boys, and, despite an awkward introducting from the nearly-blind old lady, Arizona received a job: to rescue the Russell Brothers before they could be escorted to prison. Arizona and Pete hijacked their prison wagon while it was still driving through the Rockies, killed the driver Edgar T. Stone to take control of the prison wagon, and took the Russell Brothers to Flatneck Station, where Arizona shot off the lock to the wagon and freed the captured outlaws. The two gunslingers were then paid $13.47 each for their efforts.

Egged on by Little Pete, Arizona decided to continue with his spree of outlaw work. They met "the Boy" at Flatneck Station, where the young outlaw hired the two men to hijack a caravan of goods loaded up in Valentine. Arizona and Pete rode into town and hijacked a wagon parked on the main road, resulting in a shootout escape and a few lawman ambushes along the way. However, they succeeded in bringing the wagon to the farm that "the Boy" used to stash his stolen goods, netting the outlaws $13.75 each. Shortly after, they returned to Valentine to bring the stranded African-American woman Clara Mayhew back to town, where she gave them $3.30 each as a token of her appreciation.

The Arizona Kid overlooking the Colorado River

Arizona and Little Pete proceeded to engage in hunting in the local region, hunting animals along the Colorado River and taking their carcasses back to Valentine to sell them. There, Alden hired the two men to find a missing woman, Elise Weathers, and they ultimately found that she had been captured and hogtied by the Skinner Brothers. The two men located Weathers and killed the Skinner Brothers at their small campsite before escorting Weathers back to the Valentine sheriff's office, where they were paid $11.22 each.

Outlawry in the Midwest[]

Not long after, Arizona and Pete decided to return to "the Boy" for more work. "The Boy" hired them to rescue the outlaw "Old Roy" from the sheriff's office in Valentine, so Arizona and Pete returned to Valentine to cause more mischief. Arizona killed the lawman Hosea K. Jackson in the jail before freeing Old Roy from his cell, and he and Pete proceeded to escort Old Roy to the Saints Hotel, where they engaged in a desperate shootout with the US Marshals as Roy searched for his stash. After he found it, the two men escorted Roy back to his hidden campsite, with Pete holding off the law as Arizona rode with Old Roy back to his camp. Upon Roy's delivery, the two men were paid $10.09 each.

Arizona and Pete delivering the stolen wagon

Arizona and Little Pete then accepted a job from Angus to steal a wagon in Big Valley, killing its driver John Amos Cannon near Owanjila and taking it to a farm to be stashed; there, they were paid $6.97 each for their work. The two men then returned to Mama Watson, who hired them to steal a wagon en route from Strawberry to Painted Sky as a birthday present for her son, Ethan Watson. They delivered the wagon without much trouble, each making $18.12. With a large amount of money made that day, they decided to split ways and lay low for a long period of time.

Shootout at Cumberland Falls[]

Arizona attacking the Skinner Brothers at Cumberland Falls

Eventually, the two friends met up again at Cumberland Falls, where they came across a Skinner Brothers hideout. The two outlaws gunned down the Skinner Brothers Johnny B. Christian, Ronald J. Curry, Matthew R. Ruppert, Jesse J. White, Joseph Little Feather, Ernest C. Cain, Mark S. Brumbaugh, and Elmer M. Fowler, among others, after ambushing their camp along the side of the waterfall. Arizona and Little Pete proceeded to loot the bodies of the dead outlaws, and Pete then suggested that they ride for the nearest town.

The two men proceeded to make their way towards Valentine, but Thomas J. Provencher begged Arizona for help. Provencher told Arizona that, on the cliffside on the other bank of the river, his wife Sophia Provencher had been taken by a gang of outlaws, and he persuaded Arizona to rescue her. Arizona, who had ridden far ahead of Pete, rode to the camp and gunned down the outlaws Howard M. Brand, Gregory M. Birch, Herbert N. Johnson, and William M. Kane. He then cut Sophia loose from her bonds, and she convinced him to take her to Valentine. Arizona rode to Valentine with Sophia in tow, and Pete caught up with him after killing a few pursuers who attempted to prevent Sophia from escaping with Arizona. When he arrived at the Valentine sheriff's office, he was paid $22.45 as a reward for his services.

Terror in Valentine[]

Arizona and Pete riding past the burning saloon

Arizona then heard a number of gunshots from nearby, and, when he walked to the saloon to have a drink, he found several bodies, including those of townspeople Clarence R. Thompson and Edward K. Meas, dead at the saloon doors. Arizona then ran off rather than engage in the firefight, and Pete arrived in town shortly after. Arizona told Pete of what had happened, and Pete asked to see what was going on; Pete then hopped on the back of Arizona's horse, and Arizona quickly took him past the saloon, which they observed was now on fire due to the use of flaming bottles by the outlaws. The two of them then rode to the post office, where Arizona decided to take a job from Alden in order to get out of Valentine.

Arizona and Pete at the Valentine saloon

Arizona was tasked with delivering mail to Jennifer J. McIntosh at Cornwall Kerosene & Tar, and he had a peaceful ride south and delivered the parcel to McIntosh, who paid him $4.02 for his help. That night, Arizona returned to Valentine, where he met up with Little Pete at the saloon. Arizona ordered drinks at the bar as Pete started a barfight in the corner, and, as the two men left town, Arizona noticed that Pete was being pursued by the law. Arizona watched as Pete engaged in a shootout with the lawmen, killing the lawman Tim L. McDill in the process. However, Pete was wounded and believed dead by the lawmen, causing the lawmen to peel off. Pete avenged his wounding by lassoing and hogtying William T. Blank, whom he brutally stabbed to death.

Pete's accomplice[]

Pete and Arizona driving into the Nebraska plains

Arizona and Pete proceeded to leave town, and, as they rode near the town of North Platte, Little Pete began a killing spree of random passers-by. He murdered Theodore C. Rosen and Kent A. Williams before stealing a wagon and engaging in a shootout with Henry M. Pelzer. Pete made several passes at Pelzer with his horse-drawn wagon, hoping to trample Pelzer, but Pelzer continued to shoot and occasionally dodged the carriage. Even when Pelzer was trampled over for the first time, he got back up and continued firing. Ultimately, Pete succeeded in running him over and killing him. Arizona then entered Pete's carriage, hoping to keep track of him, and Pete rode all the way to Kearney in central-southern Nebraska. There, he murdered the passers-by Peter S. Hughes, William Freeman Nixon, and Alan M. Hemphill. Pete then decided to part ways with Arizona, as he was growing fatigued from all of his murders, and Arizona decided to redeem himself for his complicity by getting some honest work done.

Arizona returning the wagon to Valentine

Arizona returned to Valentine, where Alden hired him to recover a wagon which had been hijacked by outlaws in Cumberland Forest. Arizona caught up to the wagon near Winner, South Dakota, and he gunned down the O'Driscoll Boys Cillian Nerney, Colm Muldowney, and Aidan Dorgan before hijacking the wagon and taking it back to Valentine without resistance. Upon arriving at the sheriff's office, Arizona was paid $17.72 for his success, and he then went to the saloon to drink in celebration of another job well done.

Arizona delivering Everett C. Nichols' mail

A few days later, Arizona and Pete decided to meet up again at Valentine. There, Alden hired them to carry two separate parcels to different delivery spots, forcing them to temporarily part ways. Arizona outran two packs of wolves who attempted to attack him during his ride, and he managed to reach Everett C. Nichols' cabin in Scottsbluff and deliver the parcel before the wolves could attack him. He was then sent $5.77 as a reward for his help.

Raid on Cornwall Kerosene & Tar[]

Arizona and Pete then returned to Valentine, where Arizona, sensing that Pete would be willing to take a job involving murder (he had again been terrorizing townspeople on the road out of Valentine), decided to speak to "the Boy" about a job. "The Boy" hired Arizona and Pete to punish Cornwall Kerosene & Tar for refusing to pay him protection money, so the two gunslingers rode to the oil fields in central Oklahoma to destroy the company's goods. They proceeded to engage in a massive shootout with Leviticus Cornwall's hired guards and destroy their supply wagons by shooting dynamite crates, killing the guards Stephen K. Ryder, Danny E. Webster, Duane J. Sargent, Rex E. Harris, Kenneth A. Graham, William G. Lamb, Robert A. Elliott, and David Greer Thompson and the US Marshals Robert R. Tait, Otis D. Stevens, Roger R. Tea, David A. Fields, and Donald K. Brown in the ensuing battle. The two men were paid $10.09 each for their help, and, as they left the refinery, Pete killed the surviving guard Billy S. Spires, who was attempting to calmly walk away from the refinery.

Return to Texas[]

Arizona then proposed that he and Pete ride west, with Arizona hoping to surprise Pete by bringing him back to Blackwater, where they had previously enjoyed hunting. Along the way, Pete murdered the passers-by David J. Williamson, Jimmie S. Bunn, and Stanley M. Schulze near Paris, Lamar County, Texas, but the rest of the ride to Blackwater, Galveston County was mostly peaceful. They ultimately arrived in the town, and Arizona decided to approach Hector Barlow for work.

Arizona delivering the buggy to Blackwater

Barlow hired Arizona and Pete to recover a stolen wagon from Quaker's Cove, although he asked him not to kill anyone. Arizona caught up to Pete, who had already come upon the buggy as he was hunting in the plains, and Arizona had Pete shoot the escorts Robert C. Bowden and Powell D. Akers as he lassoed and hogtied the buggy driver Daniel F. Elam and rode off with the buggy. He ultimately delivered the buggy to Blackwater, where Hector paid him $7.22 for his efforts.

That night, Arizona celebrated by visiting the saloon and drinking down a bottle of whiskey, while Pete returned to hunting in the Plains. Arizona also spent $5 to have another professional portrait taken of him by the town's photography studio, upon which he decided to search for Pete. Arizona rode out into the Plains at night, and he found Pete being attacked by wolves. Pete was severely wounded, but Arizona killed all four of the wolves with his Lancaster Repeater rifle, and he then rode off with Pete, riding through New Mexico and into Arizona that night and reaching Tumbleweed by morning.

Ride to Arizona[]

Arizona stopped at Tumbleweed's saloon for a beer before visiting Sheriff Sam Freeman, who hired him to retrieve Benedict Rowlands' stolen wagon from Cueva Seca. Pete noticed the smoke signal coming from the camp, so he arrived first; Arizona then caught up to him and made a plan. While Arizona would take the left side and run into the camp to kill the bandits there, Pete would head into the cave to retrieve the wagon. The two proceeded to assault the Del Lobo Gang at their hideout, with the two gunslingers killing the Del Lobos Esteban Carlos Munguia, Frank B. Sutton, Clayton J. Moore, Ronald Y. Chesser, and Douglas S. Bodiford at the camp before riding off with the wagon. As Arizona drove, Pete held ambushers at bay with his pistol, and Arizona also shot the pursuer Donald S. Ingram in the heart with his Springfield bolt-action rifle as Ingram tried to give chase. The two men ultimately made $12.33 from their successful retrieval of the wagon.

Head-hunting for Shaky[]

Arizona killing the outlaws at Solomon's Folly

With their job in Tumbleweed done, Arizona decided to set a course for the border at Rio Rico, where Shaky had set up a small camp along the Rio Grande. Pete lagged behind, while Shaky gave Arizona a letter from a contact who wanted him to kill a list of people. Coincidentally, Pete was close to Benedict Point, the area where most of the targets were located. Arizona caught up with him at Solomon's Folly, where he engaged in a massive shootout with the criminals Ross M. Tracy, Albert K. Sloan, Robert P. Hampton, Marion E. Dubois, David M. Newman, Robert M. Fletcher, and John V. Patrick, killing a few of his targets in the process.

Pete and Arizona capturing Merlin T. Langer

Arizona then rode on to Benedict Point, where he found that the two targets there, Carson K. McCarty and Mark K. Holland, were under heavy guard in a shack. Arizona killed the outlaws Mike E. Cooper, Stuart M. Ross, and Carl A. Coots before storming the shack and gunning down McCarty and Holland with his bolt-action rifle at point-blank range. He then followed Little Pete to the last target, Merlin T. Langer, who was attempting to escape through the hills. Pete had lassoed and hogtied the man, and Arizona asked him to wait until he arrived before he killed the man. Deciding to play with his victim, Pete cut the man free and chased him with a knife, and, after Arizona hip-fired his revolver into Langer's thigh, Pete slashed the man as he lay on the ground and stabbed him, while Arizona hip-fired a few more shots to ensure that the man was dead, completing the mission and earning both of the gunslingers $13.

Shortly after, the law scoured the area for the two gunslingers, who had killed three lawmen during the shootout at Benedict Point. The law caught up to the men in the desert near Hachita, Grant County, New Mexico (in the northeastern part of the New Mexico panhandle, west of Plainview), but the two gunslingers killed the lawmen Leonard A. Harris, Jacob N. Ebert, Lester R. Allen, and Mark J. Wagner, and the law ultimately gave up their search for the two men. However, this did not deter Pete, who, while riding with Arizona near Duncan, Greenlee County, Arizona, decided to hogtie and murder Donald C. Gavin and hogtie Claude J. Ries and leave him for dead. A sympathetic Arizona decided to cut Ries loose and let him run off, but, when Ries unwisely pulled out his repeater rifle and attempted to chase and shoot Pete, Pete tracked down Ries, hogtied him, and executed him with a rifle shot to the back of the head as Arizona watched.

Instigating shootouts[]

Arizona shooting at the Tumbleweed lawmen

Arizona and Pete rode back to Tumbleweed, where Arizona enjoyed a drink at the bar as Pete - who was sitting on his horse outside of the saloon - started a fight by aiming a gun at the African-American townsman Christoper K. Street, who was standing on the balcony of the saloon. Street attempted to fire back, causing the lawman Emanuel L. Norwood to shoot Street dead. Pete later provoked another fight which led to another shootout between the law and an unruly townsman, but, when Arizona looted the dead man's body, the law turned on him and attempted to kill Arizona as well. Arizona gunned down Norwood and killed around two more lawmen before being severely wounded. Upon recovering, he rendezvoused with Arizona in the center of town, standing near the table where the lawmen Billie J. Brown and Atwood D. Schooley were playing cards. They were surprised when an explosion killed Brown and Schooley, and Arizona himself was then wounded by a sniper bullet fired by another outlaw who had decided to terrorize the town. Arizona was forced to flee, paying for a ticket to Valentine and escaping to Nebraska, and telling Pete to join him in fleeing. However, Pete was bogged down in gunfights with the outlaw and his posse, and he was unable to make it to the "fast travel" stop in order to pay for quick transport to Valentine. Ultimately, Pete decided to part ways with Arizona to shake the pursuers, while Pete, who was in Valentine, decided to seek further employment.

Arizona recovering the stolen wagon from Cumberland Forest

Arizona met with Alden at the Valentine train station, and Alden hired him to recover a carriage which had been stolen before he had been able to tip someone off about it. Arizona intercepted the stolen carriage near Martin, Bennett County, South Dakota, killing its drivers Josh MacNamara and Corey Kilmartin and the escorts Ross O'Regan and Jude Mohan. Arizona then drove the wagon back to Valentine, where he was paid $9.22 for its successful delivery.

Now by himself, Arizona milled about Valentine, visiting its saloons and buying a stall at Amos Levi's stables for $100, as well as a male Red Chestnut Arabian horse which he named "Cherry". Arizona, seeking further adventure, hopped a coal train to New Orleans, making it there overnight and arriving at sunrise. He then paced the streets of New Orleans to take in the sights and smells of Chinatown, the Saint Denis Market, and the other diverse neighborhoods of the city, and he ultimately decided to rest from his labors in the city.

Back in the saddle[]

Arizona delivering the wagon to Maclean's House

Weeks later, Arizona decided to take a job from Angus to deliver a supply wagon to Maclean's House. Arizona rode north through Southfield Flats and evaded a Louisiana Raiders roadblock and a pursuing outlaw without firing a shot; he ultimately reached Southfield Flats with the wagon and was paid $11.76 for the delivery. With his job complete, Arizona decided to ride back to his favorite town, Valentine, riding through Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska before reaching Valentine.

Arizona and Lorenzo Adkins driving the supply wagon

Arizona then visited Alden at the Valentine train station, where Alden hired Arizona to escort a wagon caravan from Valentine to Carmody Dell. Arizona shared a wagon with Lorenzo Adkins, while Dennis M. Hick drove the wagon behind them. They were able to fight off ambushers at a roadblock near Butte, Boyd County before reaching the farm at Carmody Dell, where Charles Camp Robinson paid Arizona $11.76 for the successful delivery of both wagons.

Shooting of Lester Whitlock[]

With another job complete, Arizona rode back to Valentine, where he stopped by the saloon for some whiskey and almonds. As he exited the saloon and walked down the street, he came across a new arrival in town, Lester K. Whitlock, who rudely demanded that Arizona get out of his way as he rode past. Arizona grew offended and retrieved his pistol, holding it by his side to warn Whitlock against picking a fight. Whitlock grew infuriated and drew his own pistol, firing potshots at Arizona. Arizona responded by publicly shooting Whitlock in the jugular with his revolver, instantly killing him.

Arizona resting by a campfire in Valentine

Two locals who witnessed the crime instantly ran to the Sheriff to seek help, accusing Arizona of murder. Arizona, who believed that he was justified in shooting Whitlock in self-defense, ran on foot to the outskirts of town, past the tent villages and to a tree. As the deputy US Marshal Joshua D. Holly failed to locate the accused murderer, Arizona was able to strut back into town and even walk past Holly, who patrolled the town's streets by horse. When he found that "the Boy" wanted him to carry out a kidnapping, Arizona was uninterested, and he decided to book a stagecoach to Arizona to look for work there instead.

Working in Arizona[]

Arizona drinking on his return to Tumbleweed

Arizona arrived in Tumbleweed in the early hours of the following day, where he drank beer at the saloon shortly before sunrise. When the sun rose, Arizona went to Sheriff Freeman for work, and Freeman told him that some local farmers had reported stolen wagons and dead farmers, and that the O'Driscoll Boys had killed a farm hand and a farm girl before stealing some wagons from the locals. Freeman then told Arizona that the wagons were somewhere near the Rio Grande, and he hired Arizona to find them. Arizona intercepted the wagon, driven by Eugene J. Langford, on a dirt road in Snowflake, Navajo County, killing Langford before taking cover behind nearby rocks and killing his two escorts. Arizona proceeded to pull Langford from the wagon and take it back to Tumbleweed, evading an O'Driscoll outlaw who attempted to chase him down. Arizona then succeeded in delivering the wagon back to Tumbleweed, where he was paid $4.40 for the wagon's safe delivery.

Arizona holding a black-tailed jackrabbit

Arizona proceeded to engage in hunting on the outskirts of Tumbleweed to pass the time and make some money, killing a black-tailed jackrabbit and a coyote with his bow and arrow after stalking his prey in the desert. He then took the animals back to town for sale, but he and a few other gunslingers in town came under fire from the Yaqui outlaw Nazario Malave, who fired at them with a bolt-action rifle. Arizona escaped the town, and, that night, he sat by a fire at Solomon's Folly, where he decided to rest for a while.

Shootouts in Arizona[]

A few days later, Arizona reunited with Little Pete at Solomon's Folly in Greenlee County, Arizona, along the New Mexico border. They chanced upon a Del Lobo Gang hideout that evening, and they ambushed the gang, killing the outlaws Robert Lane Barksdale, Laurence S. Hutchins, Joseph M. Brackett, Billie H. White, Joseph H. Carlos, Apolinario Apodaca, Bernardo Anguiano, Adelino Samaniego, Eliezer Alvarez, Elido Morales, and Celedonio Marcos, and then confronting the gang leader Ansaldo Valdés in his bunker. Arizona decided to spare him, but Little Pete chased him down, hogtied him, and left him on the train tracks. Arizona suggested that they leave the man tied up on the tracks, as Arizona had agreed to spare him, but also suspected that Valdés may have been previously involved in several heinous murders; they decided to leave his fate up to chance, and rode off.

Arizona and Pete proceeded to ride into the desert, where they engaged in hunting; Arizona hunted a pronghorn doe, while Pete hunted other animals, only for his horse to rebel and shake them off as the two men rode to Tumbleweed. There, Arizona sold his doe carcass for $3, and he decided to seek employment from Sheriff Freeman to keep his and Pete's pistols hot. Freeman told Arizona that a wagon had been stolen near Gaptooth Ridge, meaning that the Del Lobos must have been responsible; he noted that the wagon's owner was Benedict Rowlands, whom Arizona remembered as the man with perennial stolen wagon problems. He and Pete proceeded to ride to Cueva Seca, where Arizona arranged for them to ambush the outlaws from two sides and retrieve the wagon.

Arizona and Pete fighting off the pursuers

Pete, hiding in some brush, used his revolver to kill an outlaw who was smoking a cigarette, initiating the ambush. Arizona attacked the outlaws who were gathering around the campfire, while Pete focused on shooting those protecting the wagon in the cavern. The two men succeeded in taking the outlaws by surprise and killing them, including Tacio Espinal, Juvenal Baeza, Richard P. McCants, Stanley E. Benson, Edward B. Dugan, William Blair Ford, and Jason M. Patterson, and Arizona mounted the wagon and drove it as Pete provided covering fire. During their escape, Arizona wounded one of the pursuers' horses and ran over both the Del Lobo and the horse, killing them and causing a short period of bumpy riding. The two men also fought their way past a roadblock, and Arizona himself shot two of their pursuers dead with his bolt-action rifle. Ultimately, they reached Tumbleweed safely, and they were paid $16.42 each for their success.

While Pete went to visit the gun store to purchase a new gun, Arizona pet a dog next to the butcher, and he ultimately went into the store and convinced Pete to purchase a bolt-action rifle to provide him with an advantage during future shootouts; before then, Pete had only been using his six-shooter. The two men then decided to ride out to the desert to resume their hunting, but Arizona realized that there was smoke rising from Cueva Seca, and that the site had been reoccupied by the Del Lobos. The two men once again crept up on the camp, and they ambushed the outlaws there, killing Zachary L. Conger, James L. Hankerson, Frederick D. Bittner, Howard R. Coffey, Mark D. Ferguson, Fred E. Griffin, Timothy Keen Nelson, Brandon S. Baugh, Olmo Oquendo, Eneas Carranza, Silo Camarillo, and Querubín Anaya, among others. Not only did they kill the outlaws in the camp, but also several riders who attempted to reinforce their comrades, taking cover behind carts and boxes and killing all of the outlaws' reinforcements. With the camp cleared and all of the outlaws dead, the two gunslingers thoroughly looted the corpses of the outlaws before saddling up and riding off.

Shootout at the Tumbleweed stables[]

Arizona and Pete then rode to the Rio Grande border with Mexico, where they met with "Shaky". Shaky gave them a letter from a "funny feller" acquaintance of his, and Arizona discovered that the two men were to steal two horses from a ranch in Tumbleweed and take them to Ansaldo Escamilla at the Scratching Post. Arizona and Pete rode to the ranch that same night, and Pete provoked a shootout after rushing the US Marshals guarding it. Pete grabbed his horse and rode off to the Scratching Post, while Arizona engaged in a prolonged shootout. He killed the Marshals Randall B. King, Howard J. Spivey, Benjamin L. Burns, Thomas R. Evenson, Calvin J. Nash, Jeremy L. McCulley, Scott R. Mack, Joshua D. Cobb, Christopher Webster Smith, David Bailey Hayes, Michael V. Labrie, James Kent Perry, Joseph Packer McCoy, Milton L. Keller, Joshua L. Wilson, and Matthew J. Ward before running into the stable, mounting the horse, and riding to the Scratching Post, where he met up with Pete. He delivered the horse to Escamilla, hitching it to a fence and collecting his $17.22 reward.

Return to Solomon's Folly[]

While Arizona was collecting his pay, Pete went wandering off, and Arizona mounted Tom and searched for his comrade. He soon found that Pete had come across a gang hideout at Solomon's Folly, so he decided to join Pete in ambushing the Del Lobos there. They killed the outlaws Marlon A. Wyche, Larry L. Oakes, Bruce W. Dupont, Dane L. Harris, Jordan L. Joyce, William K. Dozier, Todd M. Gaynor, David J. Swayne, Robert A. Gatewood, Oleguer Bermúdez, Tauro Loya, Mederico Garza, and Atanasio Zambrano, with Pete taking control of a Maxim machine-gun and inflicting heavy losses on the outlaws. After all of the Del Lobos were dead, Arizona and Pete entered the bunker where the gang's leader Chuy Moncada was cowering. Moncada initially raised his hands in surrender, only to attempt to quick-draw the two men. Moncada fired around three pistol shots, grazing Pete's head and injuring Arizona in the gut, but Arizona, using his bolt-action rifle, shot a hole in Moncada's abdonmen at point-blank range.

Mischief with Pete[]

Once again, the two partners looted the bodies of the dead outlaws, and Pete soon ran off and hopped a train as a tired Tom, carrying Arizona, failed to catch up. Ultimately, Little Pete decided to kill the train's conductor, allowing for Arizona to catch up to him. However, Pete became preoccupied with fighting off the lawmen who came searching for the conductor's murderer, forcing Arizona to drive the train. Pete held off the lawmen as they pursued the train, and the lawmen also sought to kill or capture Arizona as Pete's accomplice. Ultimately, the two of them escaped as far as Armadillo on the train; there, they decided to ditch the train and climb aboard a wagon Pete had stolen.

Pete and Arizona ditching the train aboard a wagon

Pete initially drove the wagon, and, while he drove it off the main road and into the wild, he indiscriminately shot at random does as they pranced past the cacti. When Pete exited the wagon to grab the animals, Arizona took the reins, and, after Pete was unable to load any of his kills onto the wagon, Arizona decided to drive Pete to Lake Don Julio, where he heard that an unknown contact might have work for him. Arizona drove the wagon into New Mexico and then to the lake, where he and Pete were alarmed to find out that bounty hunters had been sent after Pete. The two prepared for a shootout at the Lake Don Julio House, but, after just twenty seconds, the threat passed, and Arizona went to speak with the man on the house's porch.

Meeting James Langton[]

The man introduced himself to the criminals as James Langton, who said that he had heard that Arizona was a "proper bastard", and introduced himself as the "biggest bastard (Arizona was) ever gonna meet, James Langton," and warned him, "Mess with me and you'll be begging me to kill you." He then told Arizona and Pete that there was a man who needed to be killed, adding that, if Arizona cared, his name was Ace Burr, and he had murdered a rival gambler in New Orleans before fleeing to the Southwest a month before. Langton cynically said that Arizona and Pete shouldn't care, as it was people who didn't care about what it took to make money who succeeded in the world, according to Langton. He then sent the two men off to Two Crows to hunt down and kill Burr.

When Arizona and Pete arrived at Two Crows, they initiated a shootout with the dozens of outlaws spending time there. They succeeded in killing Amadeo Fajardo, Generoso Girón, Cristian Valladares, Quinton A. Rouse, Marshall C. Belt, and Fred Hill Brown before killing Burr. With Burr dead, the two men earned Langton's respect, and they were able to receive future offers of employment from the bounty hunter. The two men then parted ways for the night, and Arizona headed to his new camp in Cholla Springs to rest.

Southwestern mayhem[]

A few days later, Arizona decided to hunt in northern New Mexico, and he soon came across a gang hideout at Rattlesnake Hollow. Arizona rode up to the outskirts of the cliffside camp and drew his bolt-action rifle, ambushing the gang by picking off one of its mounted sentries. A shootout ensued, and Arizona gunned down Charles I. Russell, Eddie H. Swanson, Virgil D. Hoyer, Wells B. Pendleton, Dwight H. Holt, Derek C. Brady, Stewart B. Barnes, and Maurice C. Pirtle in the ensuing gunfight at the outlaw camp and in some of their cavern hideouts. Arizona then confronted the gang's leader, Jeffrey S. Ross, who said that Arizona didn't look like the type to cut down a man waving a white flag. Arizona decided to let the man go, but Ross insulted Arizona as he ran off, leading to Arizona chasing him, hogtying him, and leaving him to the elements.

Freeing Danny Morgan[]

Arizona then rode to Shaky's hideout in rural New Mexico, where he sought out a job. Shaky handed him a letter containing instructions to help a prisoner, Danny W. Morgan, escape from a prison cart before he could be taken to Tumbleweed. Arizona found that the wagon had halted near Dudleyville, Pinal County, Arizona, and he dismounted from his horse and crept up on the lawmen. He ambushed them with his bolt-action rifle, killing the deputy US Marshals William G. Buscher, Joseph R. Roach, Donald T. Stockton, Curtis B. Quick, Ralph W. Thornton, and Richard D. Newlon in the process.

Arizona then hopped on the prison cart and drove it into New Mexico, evading pursuing deputy Marshals as he rode through a thunderstorm, and occasionally firing rifle shots at them. He delivered Morgan to a remote cliffside camp near Deming, New Mexico, where he was received by fellow outlaw Nathaniel S. Bradley. Bradley then paid Arizona $15.06 for Morgan's rescue, and Arizona rested by the campfire and looked out over the Rio Grande before deciding to saddle up and ride off.

Arizona mounted his horse and rode through Rio Bravo at dawn. During his ride, he was confronted by two riders from Silver City, James Adams Edwards and Robert T. Henley, who rudely insulted him after coming across him. Edwards told Arizona, "Time for you to get the hell outta here," and he proceeded to ride off. Infuriated, Arizona shot Edwards in the back with a rifle, killing him. Henley responded by drawing a gun of his own, forcing Arizona to shoot him as well.

Hideout hopping[]

Arizona then rode past Repentance Rock and found smoke from a campfire rising from Fort Mercer, which he knew was an abandoned US Army fort, provoking his suspicions. As Arizona approached the fort, he found that it was occupied by banditos from the Del Lobo Gang. Arizona picked off an outlaw on the ramparts before storming the fort by himself, gunning down several outlaws. He then climbed the ramparts and fired down on the Del Lobo outlaws from above, and he prevented any of the outlaws from accessing the Maxim gun in the center of the fort. During the shootout, Arizona killed Jeffrey A. Bean, Wallace R. Ford, Gabriel S. Bradwell, Douglas P. Robinson, Charles R. Keels, Daniel Ashe Howard, Ordoño Arenas, Maro Hurtado, and Tadeo Nieves. Afterwards, Arizona confronted the gang's leader Alexander Stokes on the ramparts, and Stokes cowered and asked if Arizona was from the US government or the US Army. Arizona decided to spare him, and Stokes promised that Arizona would never see him again.

Arizona then rode out of Fort Mercer and, while riding past Capitan, Lincoln County (just southeast of Mercer Station), he came across Gregory K. Mulhern and Gene P. Quick approaching the fort. The two men drew their guns upon watching the gunslinging Arizona ride out of the fort with weapons in tow, and Mulhern aimed his rifle at Arizona after perceiving him as a threat, calling him a "peckerwood". Arizona responded by shooting Mulhern with a rifle, and he also gunned down Quick after Quick attempted to draw his own gun.

As Arizona rode away, he came across another stranger, William Carn Bowden, who also pulled out a rifle at the sight of a gun-toting Arizona riding down the dirt road. Bowden insulted Arizona as well, causing Arizona to draw his pistol and create a tense situation. Bowden threatened to shoot Arizona, so Arizona responded by shooting Bowden in the face and killing him. After the three shootings, to which there were no witnesses, Arizona decided to ride to Lake Don Julio to look for work from James Langton.

Arizona intercepting the supply wagons south of Winslow

Arizona found Langton sitting on the porch of his shack at Lake Don Julio, and Langton greeted him and ridiculed the people who thought that they could run their contraband business under his nose. He told Arizona that two wagons carrying contraband were departing from Silent Stead in northern Arizona, and he hired him to destroy them. Arizona rode past Riley's Charge and into Arizona, and he intercepted the convoy south of Winslow, killing the smugglers Tom E. Rhodes, Robert M. Theis, Richard Daulton Gibson, and Paul T. Dukes and shooting up the supply crates on their wagons. With the supplies destroyed, Arizona was paid $9.82 for his success.

Arizona chasing the buggy at Gaptooth Breach

Arizona then rode to Tumbleweed, where he visited Sheriff Freeman's office. Freeman hired him to repossess a stolen buggy, and Arizona rode out of town and intercepted Gordon K. McDaniel as he drove the buggy through Gaptooth Breach. Arizona first killed McDaniel's two escorts with his rifle, and he then lassoed and hogtied McDaniel, leaving the captive McDaniel in the desert. Arizona promptly drove the buggy back to Tumbleweed, where he was paid $6.82 for the buggy's delivery.

That night, Arizona decided to travel towards a smoke signal which he saw from miles away, riding across the Arizona desert and into New Mexico before finding a camp at Repentance Rock. He climbed the rocks and ambushed the Del Lobo outlaw Benito Rosario, killing him. He then gunned down Hayes C. King and then the gang hideout's leader, Newell S. Bowler; he found that another gunslinger had killed most of the rest of the gang, and Arizona walked away from the rock in peace.

He then rode back into Arizona, freely riding around the Southwest and visiting Rathskeller Fork before riding along the San Juan Mountains and later walking through the desert and eating prairie poppy. He also looked around for animals to hunt, and, when he walked onto the road south of Hagerman, Chaves County, he bumped into Christopher McKim, who mistook Arizona for a bandit and took out his rifle. Arizona, who was holding a pistol by his side, soon found himself being aimed at by McKim, who called him a "peckerwood". As McKim rode off, Arizona shot McKim in the back of the head.

As Arizona walked off, he grew worried when George P. Clark noticed the dead body and began to ride off to report the crime. Arizona lassoed Clark from his horse, tied him up, and robbed him, and he then accidentally trampled him as he rode off. Joseph A. Muller was alarmed at the sight of the two killings, so Arizona lassoed and hogtied him as well before riding off. A fourth passer-by, Jeffrey R. Kemper, greeted Arizona before riding past him, unaware of the two killings and one hogtying, and Arizona resumed hunting around Venter's Place in peace.

Rio Grande 1898 — Arizona riding along the Rio Grande

Arizona continued his joyride across the Southwest, riding along the mountains of southern New Mexico and overlooking the broad Rio Grande valley and the deserts of Perdido and Punto Orgullo in northern Mexico. He also rode through the small oil-drilling camp of Plainview after navigating his way past the steep cliffsides of New Mexico, and he then walked along the Rio Grande after riding down the cliffs and to the beach.

Arizona driving the wagon to Ridgewood Farm

Arizona met with Shaky at his riverside camp that night, and Shaky hired Arizona to bushwhack Daniel Rhodes Smith and Andrew Bell Ford as they drove their wagon through the desert. Arizona intercepted the wagon before it could reach Tumbleweed, and he killed both of the drivers before hijacking the wagon and driving it through southern Arizona and towards the arranged stashing point, Ridgewood Farm. The outlaw Matthew H. Peterson stalked Arizona, who anticipated that Peterson would attempt to kill him and destroy the wagon. Arizona shot Peterson and wounded him before attempting to flee with the wagon, but he was pursued both by lawmen and by Peterson, who ultimately shot and wounded him before destroying the wagon. This ruined Arizona's job, so he decided to ride off to the wilderness to go hunting and cool off from this thwarted mission.

Arizona taking a jackrabbit to the Tumbleweed butcher

Arizona hunted a jackrabbit along the Rio Grande after chasing it down and accidentally shooting it with a pistol instead of a varmint rifle, bringing it back to Tumbleweed. He also went hunting on the outskirts of Tumbleweed, killing a Sonoran pronghorn doe with a varmint rifle. Arizona brought the doe to the butcher in Tumbleweed, and the butcher paid him $3.90 for the good carcass. Arizona then decided to visit Sheriff Freeman again now that Freeman had more work for him, and Freeman once again hired him to recover a stolen wagon from the gang hideout of Cueva Seca. Arizona snuck up on the camp and killed the outlaws, Branden D. Moe, Stephen D. Kraft, Thomas M. Slaughter, Charles T. Akins, Tacio Roldán, Magín Guajardo, Cataldo Escobedo, and Uriel Anaya. Arizona then climbed aboard Rowlands' wagon, and he drove it out of the cave and onto the dirt road to Tumbleweed. He was pursued by mounted Del Lobo outlaws led by Tancredo Borrego, and he was forced to multi-task, turning around to shoot at the Del Lobos with his rifle as the horses galloped on their own. The horses ran up the side of a cliff and into some rocks, and the weight of the wagon from above prevented the horses from backing up. The horses ultimately died under the weight of the wagon, and Arizona avenged the failure of his job by shooting Borrego with his rifle. Arizona decided to rest from his work, returning to Tumbleweed.

Arizona carrying the Desert bighorn ram — Arizona carrying the desert bighorn ram

A day later, Arizona hunted a desert bighorn ram on the outskirts of Tumbleweed, and he brought it back to the town and sold its carcass and pelts for $4.05. Arizona then walked into the sheriff's office and met with Sheriff Freeman, who gruffly said that, while Arizona had failed last time, he hoped things would go better the second time. He told Arizona that he had a wagon which needed to be recovered, and Arizona rode out to Gaptooth Breach to recover the buggy. Arizona killed the escorts and lassoed and hogtied James Steele Williams before delivering the buggy to the town, where he was paid $4.64; he was penalized for killing the escorts.

Stealing wagons and contracts[]

Arizona retrieving the wagon from Coot's Chapel

Arizona then rode to Langton's cabin at Lake Don Julio, where Langton told Arizona that a group of men had developed the "mistaken assumption" that their wagon was theirs; Langton claimed that the wagon was actually his. He then dispatched Arizona to reclaim the wagon from Coot's Chapel, saying that his payment would justify Arizona's actions. Arizona arrived at the chapel at night, and he picked off several outlaws from a distance with his bolt-action rifle; after hearing the gunshots, the deputy US Marshals Clayton L. White and Nelson M. Compton attempted to apprehend Arizona, who shot them dead as well. Arizona proceeded to kill the Del Lobo outlaws Kenneth A. Reilly, Roderick C. Dreyer, Charles Patrick Duffy, Robert Daly White, Floyd A. Spangler, Jerry S. Moye, and John Teague Campbell in the ensuing shootout. He then delivered the wagon to Ralph D. Stringer at Hanging Rock, where Arizona was paid $13.15 for his success.

Shaky telling Arizona about his business problems

That same night, Arizona rode to Shaky's camp in the New Mexico desert, where Shaky lamented how his munitions business wasn't entirely legitimate, and said that, while the government often talked about "rights", the rights of the moneyed class and the rights of "beggars" were different. He also stated his dream of ensuring that all outlaws could receive top-quality weapons from him on demand, and he asked if Arizona would rob a stagecoach for him to deal with his problem. He explained that a government official was heading out of Fort Mercer with documents and contracts, and that he needed to obtain the documents so that he could sell weapons in a semi-legal manner.

Arizona stalking the official's stagecoach

Arizona caught up to the wagon in Benedict Pass, where he killed the security guards Derrick A. Duff, David B. Brady, Alfred M. Gilford, and Jeffrey A. Matthews before shooting the official Michael G. Penton and stealing his shoulderbag. He then took over the wagon and drove it to Ridgewood Farm, evading the law as he rode, and delivering the wagon and moneybags intact. On his arrival, Arizona was paid $12.02 for his success.

Meeting Bonnie MacFarlane[]

Amos Campbell reporting the wagon's theft

Arizona once again wandered across the Southwest, following the smoke from a distant fire into Hennigan's Stead before discovering that it was coming from MacFarlane's Ranch. There, Arizona came across the 15-year-old Bonnie MacFarlane, who initially asked if Arizona was there to rob her, only to deduce that he was looking for work. Arizona nodded and confirmed that he was, and their conversation was then interrupted by Amos Campbell, who said that Bonnie's father Drew MacFarlane's wagon - which Bonnie had told Arizona her father was planning to use for a brief getaway from the crime-ridden region - had gone missing. Bonnie asked where it had gone, and Campbell suggested that Jimmy might have taken his mother to the doctor on the wagon, although he noted that they had gone through some nasty country along the way. MacFarlane offered to pay Arizona to find and recover the wagon, as the farm was short-staffed, and Arizona agreed.

Arizona recovering the wagon from Brittlebrush Trawl

Arizona rode to Brittlebrush Trawl, a swathe of brushland along the Rio Grande, and he took cover behind some rocks after spotting the stolen wagon, several Del Lobos, and the bodies of Jimmy Cox and his mother Martha Cox. Arizona got the jump on the outlaws, gunning down David B. Coats, Allen E. Joyner, Juan S. Wilson, Laureano Santana, Anquises Sedillo, and Dion Arteaga. He then retrieved the wagon and drove it to MacFarlane's Ranch, outrunning the Del Lobos and delivering the wagon for $9.43.

Arizona proceeded to return to the Southwest, riding through Hennigan's Stead and into the deserts of the Southwest. He rode down the dirt desert roads all afternoon and stopped at Fort Mercer, where he patted and fed his horse. Arizona also hunted a Sonoran pronghorn with his bow and arrow, and loaded the deer onto his horse and brought it to the butcher in Tumbleweed. Arizona was paid $6.50 for the carcass, and he then decided to visit the sheriff's office.

Return to Tumbleweed[]

Arizona delivering Aldereny's wagon — Arizona delivering Jake Aldereny's wagon

That night, Arizona met with Sheriff Freeman, who told him that some outlaws had stolen a wagon from Jake Aldereney near Jorge's Gap, and he hired Arizona to recover the stolen wagon. Arizona intercepted the outlaws Rafael Altamirano and Raymond P. Spear as they rode south of Rathskeller Fork with the stolen wagon, and he shot them dead before retriving the wagon and delivering it to Tumbleweed, where he was paid $7.75. Arizona then went to the gun store and purchased some more rifle and repeater rounds, and he also visited the saloon and grabbed a drink.

Arizona then rode to Benedict Point, where Hector Barlow hired him to escort a supply convoy to Tumbleweed. Arizona sat next to Kenneth C. Curry on his wagon, while William Damm Collins drove the second wagon. Arizona helped fight off several Del Lobo ambushes, killing the outlaws James Charles McLaughlin, Joshua Bell Stone, and Ibérico Marrero, among others. The ambush began when Del Lobo horsemen charged down a slope to ambush the wagons, but Arizona and the drivers gunned down the attackers. Arizona also picked off several Del Lobos at a roadblock at the base of the hill, and shot a marksman who was shooting at the wagons from a cliffside, causing him to fall to his death. During the ride, Curry optimistically commented that, since they had survived the shootout, they would have another story to tell at the end of the day.

He then helped Curry and his wagon arrive safely in Tumbleweed, but Collins' wagon hit a rut as he rode into the town, and he was ambushed by the outlaw Katherine Brady. Arizona and Brady exchanged several shots for around eight minutes, wounding each other several times. Another outlaw, Lehi Wilder, also attempted to steal the wagon, resulting in a three-way shootout. Occasionally, the two outlaws would succeed in mounting the wagon, but failed to move it out of the rut, and they were often shot while they were sitting ducks. Ultimately, Arizona sat on the wagon by the time he was expected to arrive in the town, guarding it until he was paid $10.24 for the one wagon's successful delivery. With more money in his pocket, Arizona rode down to the Rio del Lobo Rock, where he took in the scenery before resting there.

Robbing Ridgewood Farm[]

Arizona picking up the Baja California pronghorn buck

A day later, Arizona rode out from the Del Lobo Rock and hunted a Baja California Pronghorn Buck, which he loaded onto his horse. Arizona then rode through the New Mexico desert, into Arizona, and to the town of Tumbleweed, where he delivered the buck's carcass to the butcher and received $3.90 for it. Arizona entered Sheriff Freeman's office that night in search of a job, and Freeman told him that he had a mysterious, unclear matter at hand: two cousins, Albert and Malcolm, had disputed ownership of a wagon, and Freeman asked Arizona to take the wagon from Malcolm without harming any of his employees, as he still was uncertain about the wagon's true owner.

Arizona escaping Ridgewood Farm with the wagon

Arizona rode to Ridgewood Farm, where he lassoed the sentry Ashton V. Mason and hogtied him. This alerted the other guards, and Arizona was soon shot at and physically attacked by the guards. Arizona engaged in a fistfight with William W. Oliphant and Richard Thayer Robinson before getting away aboard the wagon, which he was supposed to deliver to Fort Mercer. However, as he drove down the winding and tangential roads of New Mexico, his horses struck several rocks and broke free of the wagon, running free and ruining Arizona's delivery.

Arizona spotting David S. Inglis' stagecoach

With his first job of the day foiled, Arizona rode to meet Shaky at his desert camp in Cholla Springs. Shaky handed Arizona a letter with instructions to rob a stagecoach, and Arizona rode across the New Mexico and Arizona deserts before spotting the stagecoach near Holbrook, Navajo County. Arizona rode down a cliffside and ambushed the wagon, killing its guards David K. Keys and Craig J. Ward before robbing David S. Inglis of his money-filled satchel. Arizona rode to the dropoff at St. Johns, Apache County, where he handed over the satchel to Shaky's contact Dionisio Zúñiga, who gave him $12.02 for the successful delivery.

Arizona decided to ride to Lake Don Julio to take on another job from James Langton, and, along the way, his horse crashed with that of Justin T. Pierce on a dirt road. Pierce staggered up from the ground and aimed a revolver at Arizona, believing that Arizona had meant to kill him. However, Arizona shot Pierce dead. Shortly after, just south of Two Crows, Arizona also rode past Sydney D. Jeffery, who drew his gun at the sight of Arizona riding down the same road. Arizona drew his own gun as well, but he decided to de-escalate by riding off. Jeffery also began to ride off, but also taunted Arizona, asking him if he was not so tough anymore. Arizona responded by shooting at Jeffery with his breech-loaded rifle, ultimately hitting him in the back of the head and killing him.

Shootout at Venter's Place[]

Arizona proceeded to ride to Lake Don Julio, where he found Langton sitting on his porch. Langton told Arizona that he needed a horse, but he refused to go to a livery yard; instead, he told Arizona that he would rustle him a horse at Venter's Place, and said that, while there should be no trouble, he would pay Arizona like there would be. Arizona then rode to Venter's Place, and he snuck onto the ranch and behind a shed before shooting the guard Hudson Layman in the forehead with his bolt-action rifle, starting a shootout. He proceeded to kill the guards Ron S. Hardin, Jesse M. Reid, John Fletcher Cooper, Doyle C. Moyes, Steven G. Ormsby, and Patrick D. Wood, and he hopped atop the horse and rode it to Fort Mercer. There, he delivered it to Quintiliano Magana, and he was paid $13.05 for the successful delivery.

Louisiana excursion[]

Arizona delivering a parcel to Susanna Gladwell

With his job opportunities in the Southwest dried up, Arizona decided to book a stagecoach to Rhodes, Louisiana, where he took a job from Alden making mail deliveries. He first delivered a letter to the household of Terry L. Young at Caliga Hall, and he killed the Louisiana Raiders Jeff S. Parsons and Thomas I. Briggs when they tried to ambush him. He also made a few rural deliveries before making his final delivery to the First Church of Rhodes, where he delivered the final parcel to the ministers Andrew Jackson Gladwell and Susanna Gladwell. With this delivery, Arizona was paid $18.85 for his hard work.

Arizona then walked to a shack on the outskirts of town, where he met the con artist Josiah Trelawny, who melodramatically told him that he couldn't take life anymore, as he aimed a gun to his head. However, he then switched back to being sensible and expressed his sadness over his unrequited love in town. Finally, he decided to get down to business, figuring that someone had told Arizona that Trelawny could provide him with work. Trelawny hired Arizona to steal a valuable horse from Catherine Braithwaite's manor and "deliver it to these funny horse traders in Scarlett Meadows" at Hill Haven Ranch.

Arizona escaping Braithwaite Manor with the horse

Arizona proceeded to ride to Braithwaite Manor, where he crept up on the stables and ambushed the guards. He gunned down the Braithwaite family guards Scott J. Miller, Jeffrey L. Wood, Seth W. Ball, Steven M. Davis, James Peter Wade, Robert L. Treadwell, and Mickey K. Neal and he then rode out of the manor with the horse. He also killed the pursuers Kenneth V. Huntley, James C. Ivey, and Eric M. Garrett near Rhodes, and, when he arrived at Hill Haven Ranch, he was paid $12.02 for the horse's delivery.

Arizona then returned to Rhodes, where he walked the streets and visited Jasper Feeney's gun store. There, he browsed Feeney's catalogue and decided to purchase the powerful 1853 Navy Revolver, which he read had played a major role in the conflicts of America's westward expansion and the American Civil War. Arizona spent $275 on the pistol, leaving him with $176.61, and he then took a walk around town once again before deciding to meet with Anthony Foreman for more work.

Arizona met with Foreman at his shack, where Foreman told Arizona that a few gunslingers had been uttering unspeakable things about both of them, and he hired Arizona to kill them for their insolence. Arizona tracked down the two posse members to the bayou, where he was wounded several times by the gunslingers, who had the advantage of cover and numbers. Ultimately, Arizona was forced to pull back, as he was unable to kill them as ordered.

Arizona stealing the boat from Macomb's End

Arizona decided to ride to nearby Lagras, where he met the Creole fisherman Thomas Coleman as he inspected his crab trap. Coleman deduced that Arizona wasn't there for crawfish, and he hired him to recover his stolen boat from Macomb's End, where some rival white fishermen up the Ouachita River had taken his boat for themselves. Arizona rode to Macomb's End on horseback, snuck around the side of the dock by swimming, and escaped aboard the boat without firing a shot, delivering it to Lagras for $7.07.

Back in Valentine[]

With the work in Scarlett Meadows dried up, Arizona decided to take a stagecoach to Valentine, where he stopped by the saloon and drank beer and whiskey as two strangely-dressed, masked men stood close to him (before they broke a window at the front of the saloon and jumped through it). Arizona then walked the streets and watched as the two insane men climbed the roof of a building under construction and fell from it, and then as they left; he also watched the gunslinger Matthew B. Douglas engage in a Mexican standoff with the two masked men before letting them go upon realizing that they posed no threat to him. Arizona then decided to rest in Valentine now that he had earned enough money to relax.

Arizona observing the O'Driscolls at Limpany

The next evening, Arizona visited Valentine station and took on a job from Alden to recover a wagon which had been stolen by the O'Driscoll Boys in Kansas. He tracked the wagon down to Limpany, taking note of another gunslinger who was likely waiting to ambush him on his recovery of the wagon, and he drew his Navy Pistol and tested it out by shooting a mounted O'Driscoll outlaw in the head. This initiated a large shootout with the O'Driscolls, and he gunned down several of them, including Dominick Dunn, Sam MacNaughton, Mason O'Tierney, Brian Coghlan, Lewis O'Hurley, Toby O'Grady, Mark O'Ferrell, Dáire O'Malone, and Louis O'Henry in the ruined buildings of Limpany before hopping aboard the wagon.

Arizona recovering the wagon from Limpany

Arizona decided to exit along a counterintuitive path to avoid the gunslingers who sought to leap at the opportunity to steal the wagon themselves, and he road along the mountainous Owanjila road, through the Blackbone Forest, and around to the delivery point, Riggs Station. Along the way, he killed two O'Driscolls who had given chase to him on horseback, and the arrived at the drop-off without having had to exchange fire with a single gunslinger. Upon his arrival, he was paid $18.82 for the wagon's recovery.

Setting up camp[]

Arizona riding away from John B. Nickerson's body

After the wagon's recovery, Arizona decided to return to the Southwest, so he booked a stagecoach from Strawberry, Colorado to Armadillo, New Mexico. While riding to Lake Don Julio to look for work from James Langton, he accidentally crashed horses with John B. Nickerson as he tried to ride off the road and over a hilltop, and Nickerson was killed by the fall. Arizona recovered from the crash, mounted Tom, and resumed his ride to Lake Don Julio, riding through the desert to get there faster.

Arizona standing near Murdock C. Johnson's ambushed wagon

Upon arriving at Langton's hut along Lake Don Julio, Arizona was tasked with dealing with a group of contraband smugglers who were operating under Langton's nose; Langton told them that their convoy was leaving Silent Stead, where the first smuggling convoy had come from. Arizona was ordered to destroy their supplies to prevent them from resuming their contraband business, and he rode across the deserts of New Mexico and Arizona before intercepting the convoy near Show Low, Navajo County. He killed the smugglers Edmund P. Matherly, Kirk A. Anderson, William F. Adcock, Todd R. Shook, and Murdock C. Johnson, and he proceeded to shoot up their supply boxes with his rifle and pistol. With the smugglers' supplies destroyed, Arizona was paid $10.70 for his success.

Arizona decided to spend his hard-earned money on improving his camp, riding to his campsite in Gaptooth Ridge and meeting Cripps. He spent $122.50 on a lean-to tent to replace his bedroll, using a coupon to reduce its price from $175. He also changed his outfit to a Salcedo shirt, work pants, and a yellow woven hat, which gave him the appearance of a Mexican gunslinger. With his camp and wardrobe refurbished, Arizona decided to rest at his new camp for a day.

Arizona and Lindsey Jeffers delivering the first wagon

The next evening, Arizona returned to Tumbleweed for a job, and Sheriff Freeman chided him for the failure of his last job before telling him that he needed to escort a caravan through the wilderness and protect its drivers. Arizona sat next to Lindsey Jeffers as Mitchell Penn drove the second wagon, and they first ran into trouble when Del Lobo outlaws emerged from the hilltops to shoot at them. Arizona gunned down Osmán Maya Quiroz and Nolasco Zamora Paredes before helping the drivers fight their way through a roadblock. Afterwards, Arizona shot the pursuing rider Acacio Cazares Murillo, and the wagons had a peaceful rest of the ride to Fort Mercer, where Arizona was paid $10.78 for the wagons' delivery.

More Southwestern shootouts[]

Arizona attacking the outlaws at Two Crows

Several weeks later, Arizona once again searched for jobs, riding to James Langton's cabin on Lake Don Julio. There, Langton handed Arizona a letter instructing him to head to Two Crows and assassinate six Del Lobo lieutenants there. Arizona gunned down Cecilio Guerra Medina, Jaime Valles Romo, Gustavo Zúñiga Ruvalcaba, Alucio Martínez Abeyta, Maclovio Negrón Olmos, Jesualdo Quezada Griego, Raymond G. Bolander, David J. Marcum, David Keenum Morrison, Joseph Asher Wheaton, and Robert I. Staten in the ruins of Two Crows, and he then chased down the last Del Lobo, Pepe Socorro, wounded his bodyguard by shooting his horse, and then pursued Socorro further and shot him in the back. Socorro's body fell into the bushes, where Arizona took $2.00 from his body; he was then paid $22.35 for his success.

Cripps telling Arizona about his trading company idea

Arizona then decided to ride to Hennigan's Stead for more work, and, along the way, he passed through Armadillo, where he came across J.B. Cripps and his assistant Willis emerging from a building with cargo. Cripps greeted Arizona and told him of his intent to start the "Cripps Trading Company", as he had worked as a tanner in Wisconsin during the 1860s, and he invited Arizona to bring him skins, plumes, and horns for him to clean and sell. He acknowledged that setting up a butcher station at Arizona's camp would cost him, but he invited him to talk to him once he had the money to start up the operation.

Bonnie MacFarlane telling Arizona about the stolen wagon

Arizona then mounted up and continued his ride to Hennigan's Stead, reaching MacFarlane's Ranch in Girvin and approaching Bonnie MacFarlane for a job. Bonnie told Arizona that the undertaker of Armadillo had reported his wagon stolen, causing the locals to worry; she also said that the wagon was last seen near Pike's Basin, and she told Arizona that he would help a lot of people by recovering it.

Arizona fleeing Pike's Basin with the wagon

Arizona rode to Pike's Basin, finding it shrouded in fog, and killing one of the outlaws as he patrolled the area. In the ensuing shootout, Arizona ambushed the bandit camp and gunned down Emigdio León Juárez, Tirso Díaz Arroyo, Otón Duran Solano, Justo Zepeda Alarcón, Ademar González Covarrubias, Donald Sumner Hutchins, and James Williams Hardwick. Arizona then ran to the wagon and drove it out of the basin, managing his way through the sharp curves and rocky roads, and also killing two pursuing Del Lobos who had chased him on horseback. Arizona was then able to drop off the wagon at Coot's Chapel and receive $24.05 for his efforts.

With another job done, Arizona decided to ride to nearby Armadillo for a drink. He rode Tom through the dark, decrepit, and depopulated town, passing by a few drunkards as he cantered down the main streat. He then dismounted in front of the saloon and stopped there for a beer, after which he decided to head to the stagecoach station and book passage to Valentine, desiring to visit the Midwest again.

Exploring South Dakota and Arkansas[]

Arizona escaping Fort Wallace with the wagon

Arizona then arrived in Valentine, where he decided to meet with "the Boy" for an outlaw job. "The Boy" told him that the law had confiscated a goods train, which had been taken to Fort Wallace and kept under US Army protection. The Boy then told Arizona to "confiscate" the wagon back, and Arizona promptly mounted his horse and rode through the Black Hills and into South Dakota, where he came across Fort Wallace. There, he single-handedly stormed the fort and gunned down the soldiers James C. Hardwick, Robert Greene Hill, Henry Gladwell Long, Howard L. Wagner, and Paul Y. Cardwell, and, while he was wounded by the lawman Thomas Myra Brown, he recovered and drove the wagon to Jay Rumley's Concordia, Kansas homestead for his $29.64 reward.

Arizona then rode to Emerald Ranch, where he met the fence Seamus Whittle and purchased food from him. Afterwards, he checked his satchel and found that he had a treasure map for Brandywine Drop in Arkansas, so he decided to ride deep into Arkansas for the first time and find the treasure. Arizona rode up the Roanoke Valley along steep, forested cliffs, outrunning coyotes and bears before reaching the waterfall. Despite spending a long amount of time searching inside the waterfall and along the cliffs for the treasure on the map, he was unable to find it, and, as night fell, he decided to abandon his search and instead ride to Annesburg (for the first time) and purchase ammunition for his weapons, having depleted his rifle and repeater rounds.

Arizona fighting off the Murfree Brood ambush

Arizona rode into Annesburg, finding it to be a soot-covered mining town whose main street - leading up to the mine itself - was lined with rows of shacks which housed the miners and their families. Arizona visited Jorg Schultz's gunsmith store and purchased rounds for his Winchester repeater and his Mauser bolt-action rifle, after which he decided to visit the local train station, where Alden awaited him with a job. Alden told him that a supply wagon needed escorting to O'Creagh's Run, and he warned Arizona to look out for bandits. Arizona drove the wagon around some tight curves along the hills flanking Annesburg, and he also fought his way through a Murfree Brood ambush before successfully delivering the wagon to O'Creagh's Run for $23.09.

While at O'Creagh's Run, Arizona stumbled upon a cabin, and he entered it and investigated it. There, he found the Civil War veteran Hamish Sinclair, who initially thought that Arizona was there to rob him, and showed him his prosethetic leg to demonstrate that he had nothing of value. However, he then deduced that Arizona was in search of a job, and he told Arizona of how, because of his disability, he paid locals to help him with deliveries. He then hired Arizona to recover a wagon which had been met with an ambuscade and had been taken to Six Point Cabin, although he told him not to kill anyone, as unnecessarily killing someone would haunt Arizona into his elder years.

Arizona recovering the wagon from Six Point Cabin

Arizona proceeded to ride to Six Point Cabin, and, along the way, he came across a campsite where the outlaws Robert L. Kimble, John Henry Travis, and Bobby Cooke Toohey were sitting around a campfire and by the tied-up Josie Plumford. Arizona shot all three men dead with his rifle in quick succession, and he then cut Plumford loose. He then proceeded to ride to Six Point Cabin at the edge of the state, where he stealthily snuck up to the stolen wagon, climbed aboard, and escaped through the trees, dodging bullets and returning to O'Creagh's Run. There, Arizona was paid $34.17 for the wagon's successful delivery.

Arizona then rode south to a cabin near Lockesburg, Arkansas, where he heard that the outlaw Joe Bedford offered him a source of employment. Bedford was paranoid on greeting Arizona, aiming a shotgun at him and claiming that he didn't kill "him"; he explained that he was being slandered by a group of men based from Fort Brennand, and that he would be set free if Arizona took them out. Arizona promptly rode to Fort Brennand, where he gunned down Paul D. Singleton, William Harper Bracy, Sullivan D. White, Thomas S. Grenz, Jeffrey A. Gillen, and Donald A. Shelton before chasing down Patrick Howell Ferguson into the woods of North Louisiana and shooting him in the back, causing him his horse to drag his body. Arizona was then paid $19.64 for the successful assassinations.

Arizona clearing the way for Luanne Rives' escape

Arizona then decided to visit Anthony Foreman in New Orleans, where he found that Foreman had set up a hideout behind a bar. Foreman hired Arizona to rescue his former lover (describing her as a woman who was formerly in his "company") Luanne Rives from the Louisiana Raiders, who - according to Foreman - were terribly abusing her by the freight yards; he also asked for Arizona to ensure that she was looked after. Arizona was forced to run to the freight yards, as Tom was unable to find him, and he proceeded to engage in a shootout with the Raiders. Arizona gunned down Jeffrey K. Wilbert, Jones McCloud, Robert B. Hose, Lane Reasoner, and Michael A. Harrell, and he then retrieved Rives from the freight yards.

Arizona proceeded to escort Rives out of the freight yards and onto the street, mounting her on Tom. However, Tom was injured when he ran into a parked freight car (injuring Arizona and Luanne, who were flung onto the car), forcing Arizona to engage in a running shootout with ambushing Raiders, as well as outlaws pursuing him and the unarmed Rives on horseback. Arizona gunned down Joseph J. Buckley, Warren A. Bailey, Theodore E. McKee, and Henry M. McCaffrey at the bridge, and a scrawny nag answered Arizona's call. Arizona and Luanne proceeded to mount the horse, but the Raiders continued to chase them, and the unarmed Luanne was shot in the back and killed before she could escape with Arizona, leading to Arizona's mission ending in failure.

Reuniting with Little Pete[]

Shootout at the Middle Loup River — The shootout at the Middle Loup River

A few weeks later, Arizona reunited with Little Pete after travelling back to the cattle town of Valentine, and the two decided to go hunting. They travelled to the valley by Caliban's Seat, where they scoured the lush valley for wildlife. When the two men came to the riverbank of the Middle Loup River, they came under fire from a nearby ridge, and Arizona responded by drawing his revolver and shooting the assailant, Doc I. Forbes, from a distance. Arizona proceeded to run to the ridge and gun down the other gunmen there, and he also helped Little Pete kill the other gunmen by picking off the shooters from the ridge while using his Spencer repeater rifle. Ultimately, he counted the shootists Delmar W. Dierks, Lora A. McMenes, Vint O. McStay, Woodie M. Klusley, and Chester Z. Jahn among the dead, although he remained confused as to why they had targeted him and Little Pete.

Shortly after, Little Pete murdered the passer-by Ossie Y. Hungate as well as a wild boar, and Arizona collected a bunch of goose eggs which the boar had been standing near. He also watched as Little Pete murdered a wagon driver and the passers-by Rockwell S. Lemmon and Wesley R. Dyer, the latter two by hogtying them in the river and leaving them to drown. The two then rode into Kansas and the Oklahoma Panhandle to hunt in the plains, and Little Pete continued his indiscriminate killings, murdering Press P. Robins, Hampton F. Schyler, and Elton L. Sovereigh and leaving Monroe Q. Hadley for dead on the railroad tracks; Arizona secretly cut Hadley free, as he pitied Little Pete's many victims. They also met the female outlaw Jaxie O'Dea, who tipped her hat to the two men and murdered a wagon driver nearby. Little Pete followed in her tracks by murdering Martin E. Stabler.

Arizona sneaking up on the abandoned oil derrick

Hoping to divert Little Pete's bloodlust into a paying job, Arizona walked across the tracks to Flatneck Station, where he met with "the Boy" and agreed to steal two horses from Castor Ridge for him. That night, Arizona and Little Pete rode to an abandoned oil derrick in the Heartlands (near Lindsay, Garvin County; south of Twin Stack Pass), sneaking up on the Caistor Ridge cattlemen's camp from two sides. Arizona used a bow and arrow to stealthily kill several of the cattlemen before Little Pete went loud with a pistol, resulting in a shootout with the guards at the camp.

Arizona and Pete escaping with the rustled horses

The two gunslingers killed the guards Anthony A. Maynard, Effie P. Fleshult, Halsey J. Abrahamson, Lewis J. Lakin, Don B. Elliott, Marcus O. Spurgin, and Pearley T. Girmus, and they proceeded to mount the two horses at the camp and make a getaway. Arizona helped to cover their escape by firing his Navy Revolver at the pursuing guards, and he was the first to reach Linton B. Dranker's farm with the rustled horse; Little Pete, who had been wounded, arrived shortly after, and the two men were paid $25.69 for their success.

As the sun rose, the Arizona Kid persuaded Little Pete to join him in hunting in the Heartlands, now that they had been paid and were still in the area. Arizona hunted a pronghorn buck with a bow and arrow, obtaining a perfect carcass; meanwhile, Pete cleverly used both his horse and a stolen horse to load and haul animal carcasses, and the two men rode to Valentine to sell their carcasses. After riding past the bodies of around a dozen outlaws killed in a recent shootout, Arizona sold his carcass to the butcher for $6.50.

With $306.85 in his pocket, Arizona decided to go on a spending spree now that he was in town. He stopped by the saloon and decided to restyle himself, growing out his hair, as well as a beard and a stylish mustache. Arizona proceeded to head to the gunsmith, where Little Pete purchased a bow for himself, and he purchased a $166 bandolier. Next, he headed to the general store, where he bought a $90 "Schefield" outfit, which was on sale from its original price of $150. Eager to show off his new appearance and outfit, he rode out to the outskirts of town to join Little Pete in hunting, and Little Pete was impressed by the Arizona Kid's stylish new outfit. Little Pete also let Arizona have a good deer pelt he had just hunted, and Arizona took it back to town and sold it for $4.20.

Arizona and Pete leading their horses through town

Pete then asked where to find the general store, and Arizona had Pete folow him, with both of them leading their horses into town and hitching them in front of the store. Pete finally decided to search for an outfit apart from his worn-out undershirt with which he had been provided following his own prison escape, and, as Pete visited the general store, Arizona watched Jaxie O'Dea run into town and murder the wagon driver Alston E. Grabach, whom she shot in the back and again in the head after he fell from the wagon and onto the muddy street. Arizona, then rejoined by Little Pete, followed O'Dea to a nearby pig pen and invited her to keep in touch, as Little Pete liked her aggressive and murderous temperament, while Arizona appreciated her friendly nature and her skill with a gun.

Solo work[]

Two days later, Arizona decided to speak to Alden at the Valentine train station for further employment, and Alden hired him to search for a missing cart driver who had gone missing near Cattail Pond. Arizona rode to a camp near the pond and found a bear standing over the body of Joel S. Batherick, the missing cart driver. Arizona shot the bear several times with his Winchester repeater rifle, and he proceeded to mount the cart and ride away from the camp. Impaired by the darkness, Arizona accidentally rode down a steep cliffside, enabling the horse to break free from the cart and run off, and leaving Arizona disappointed.

Arizona protecting Melvin V. Carnes' wagon

With his job for Alden a failure, Arizona decided to ride to the Great Plains in Texas, where he desired to hunt buffalo to make more money. He rode past Diablo Ridge before coming across Riggs Station, where he accepted a job from Hector Barlow to escort Melvin V. Carnes and Elby Q. Jenson's supply wagons from the station to Blackwater. Arizona helped to fight off several Skinner Brothers ambushes, gunning down the ambushers John I. Liggett and Albert C. Teachworth after crossing the Canadian River into Texas. Ultimately, he ensured that the wagon reached the provisioner Winchester N. Korb in Blackwater, where he was paid $10.78 for the escort.

Arizona then rode out to the open plains to search for his quarry. After riding deep into the plains, he found a herd of buffalo, and he was able to kill one after shooting it several times with his varmint rifle. The beast's hide was partially degraded by the number of bullets it took to kill it, but Arizona nonetheless loaded its hide onto his horse and rode back to Blackwater to sell it. He sold several pieces of buffalo meat for cheap, its horn for $.75, and its pelt for $2.

Arizona then decided to go fishing for the first time in several months, using worm bait to catch a 1-pound, 4-ounce bluegill fish (an oily, gritty fish which was usually pan-fried) and using bread bait to catch a 1-pound, 3-ounce chain pickerel (a tasty, flaky fish of the pike family). When Arizona took the caught fish to the butcher, he sold the bluegill for $.75 and the pickerel for $1, leaving him with $32.69. That evening, he hunted a pronghorn which he also brought to the butcher, selling it for $3.90. Arizona then visited S.M. Neely's general store, where he purchased a pocket watch for one bar of gold.

Arizona attacking the outlaws at Quaker's Cove

Arizona soon grew impatient about his lack of success in making easy money, so he decided to ride to Thieves' Landing to search for criminal work from Shaky. Along the way, he found that Quaker's Cove had become the site of an outlaw gang's hideout, so Arizona decided to ambush the bandits. In the ensuing shootout, he killed the outlaws Friend B. Heffington, Benjamin O. Burge, Eliah G. McClendall, German C. Donahoe, Gerrit Y. Poisall, Alphonso C. Crosby, and Andre K. Moraday, and he cornered the gang's leader Hick Iahn. Iahn begged for mercy, so Arizona decided to spare him; however, he lassoed and hogtied him as he tried to escape, as he sought to give the law the opportunity to bring him to justice. Arizona then went around the hideout looting the bodies of the outlaws, but he soon came under fire from Iahn as he attempted to ride out of the camp, as Iahn had cut himself free of his bonds. Iahn ultimately wounded Arizona, who sought to hogtie Iahn rather than kill him, and he escaped while Arizona was unconscious.

Arizona proceeded to ride south to Thieves' Landing, where he immediately entered into a confrontation with three gunslingers, who came from the Del Lobo Gang, whom Arizona intensely despised. In the ensuing shootout, Arizona gunned down the Del Lobo outlaws Josemaría Porras, Barry López Villareal, and Bob V. Clibourn, and his fellow gunslinger Madi Sinner killed a few other Del Lobos with her own six-gun. Arizona waved to her to signal that he was not a threat, and he then walked down to the dock to speak with Shaky.

Arizona delivering Deforest H. Arnett's wagon to Strawberry

Shaky greeted Arizona and told him that, just as his doctor gave him prescriptions for his morphine, he would give Arizona a slip of paper with a job written on it. Arizona was hired to bushwhack a wagon before it could reach Manzanita Post, and Arizona rode to the Great Plains and shot the driver and his shotgun messenger Deforest H. Arnett before stealing the wagon. Arizona proceeded to drive the wagon across the Canadian River and killed the ambushers Sammie R. Ritchie and Edmond L. Hobbs, who attempted to recover the wagon. He also drove the wagon around Owanjila to ensure that the nearby gunslingers would have a difficult time trying to chase him, and he was successful in taking the wagon to a homestead outside of Strawberry, where he was paid $13.15 for its delivery.

The "Rayles-Waugh shootout" in Strawberry, Colorado

After the sun set, Arizona travelled into Strawberry proper, where he ran to the sound of gunshots. He found the outlaw duo Cletus Rayles and Todd Waugh making their last stand against several armed citizens, bounty hunters, and lawmen: the two men killed the locals Wells H. Laup, Tom B. Blacker, Bert V. Garman, and Ashby T. Labryer, the bounty hunters Hampton N. Senack, Richmond W. Keeton, and Isreal G. Grinell, and the lawmen Lindsay V. Tilton, Gabe S. Ellinger, Atha Z. Ludlow, Louis C. Knewdson, Leni T. Kehrt, Buril G. Fabinger, Gary J. Belgrin, Lonnie L. Stilegebouer, Artie W. Horan, Tandy E. Walcott, Harman J. Shatzell, Bright V. Deasey, Raoul N. Laufer, Bennet L. Bray, Tobias K. McIlreevey, Yee O. McAlexander, and Braxton R. Jordan.

New adventures[]

Arizona riding along a mountainside in Wyoming

A few days later, Arizona travelled to Wyoming and met up with Flaco Hernandez at his cabin. Hernandez claimed that both of them had come to the Rockies for survival, and said that how one survived was to not show weakness to "the animals". He proceeded to tell Arizona that a gang of locals had stolen several of his belongings, and he hired Arizona to head to Chez Porter and destroy the supplies.

Arizona proceeded to ride through the snowy mountains to Chez Porter in eastern Wyoming, and he eventually reached Chez Porter in the seclusion of Wyoming's vast forests. He then approached the house and took on the Skinner Brothers by himself, shooting the Skinner Brothers Doc R. Allbery, Shelby L. McConnaughy, Adna T. Spry, Furman J. Robins, Richards K. Mattley, Ezekiel W. Farrens, and Casper H. Loupton and destroying their stockpiles by shooting them up or blowing up one of the crates by shooting nearby dynamite. After all of the Skinner Brothers were dead and their supplies destroyed, Arizona was paid $13.41.

Arizona catching up to Godfred I. Howe's buggy

While he was in the area, Arizona decided to meet Hamish Sinclair at Cotorra Springs, and Sinclair told Arizona of a local wagon which had been taken by some "boys" camping in the area. He told Arizona of his fear that, if he hired anyone else, they might cause more trouble, and he begged Arizona to try handling the situation before things could get out of hand (i.e. murder), reminding him that the thieves were "only boys". Arizona succeeded in ambushing the wagon near Merriman, Nebraska, lassoing the escorts from their horses and Godfred I. Howe from the buggy. He then managed to drive the buggy to Valentine, dropping it off at the Sheriff's office and being paid $15.06 for its bloodless repossession.

Arizona then decided to ride down Main Street and to the small encampment outside of the town, where he met "the Boy" at his tent. "The Boy" bragged about how he was able to take down men of any size, but then told Arizona that he wanted him to take out a target that was not a man, but a cougar. The cougar had been terrorizing travelers near Castor's Ridge in the Heartlands, and he asked Arizona to kill the cougar and bring him proof of its death. Arizona proceeded to ride to the ridge, where he found the mauled bodies of a horse and, nearby, a traveler, Malachi D. Craus.

Arizona delivering the cougar's carcass to the sheriff's office

Arizona then ran to the sound of the cougar growling, drawing his Winchester repeater rifle, and he shot the cougar around six times in rapid succession, easily taking it down. Arizona then loaded the cougar onto his horse and took it back to the Valentine, with the townspeople screaming in shock and horror at the sight of the killer cougar. After reaching the Valentine sheriff's office, Arizona dumped the cougar's carcass on its doorstep, and the deputy paid him $13.93 for the cougar's death.

Arizona protecting Jarvil V. Farnahue's wagon

Having completed the Boy's job, Arizona visited the train station and spoke with Alden, who told him of a wagon train headed from Valentine to Rhodes, and decided to introduce him to its drivers Jarvil V. Farnahue and Diedrick V. Stoecke. Arizona proceeded to ride shotgun for Farnahue, and he helped to escort the wagons through the Heartlands at night, shooting the ambushers Woodie A. Nesbit, Noah T. Feltheizer, Bush W. Seel, and Holliway P. Landt dead.

Arizona defending Farnahue's wagon from bandits in Louisiana

After the wagon crossed Dewberry Creek into Louisiana, Arizona helped fight off more bandit ambuscades, starting with a wagon roadblock near Plain Dealing, Bossier Parish. As the wagon train carried on into Scarlett Meadows, it was pursued by several more outlaws on horseback, and Arizona helped to fend them off with his repeaters. By sun-up, the wagon train had reached the outskirts of Rhodes, signifying the wagon train's safety. When the wagon arrived in town, Arizona was paid $17.87 for his hard work.

Now that fate had taken him back to Rhodes, Arizona decided to speak to Josiah Trelawny about employment. Trelawny told him that he wanted Arizona to cause some trouble for him, namely for "those rotters at Caliga Hall". He revealed that the Gray family was sitting on some new goods, and he asked Arizona to destroy them. Arizona rode to the plantation and found himself in a shootout with around twelve Gray family guards in their backyard. He gunned down guards taking cover in a grass maze, the stable, and even a sniper on the balcony of a nearby building, and he proceeded to destroy all three crates of valuables, completing the job. He then exited the plantation, walking past the guards Posey R. Hinkle and Iscelus V. McKendry, who gave him no trouble, despite his killing of their colleagues Abraham D. Wooster, Malcolm Y. Bergmeier, Rockwell H. Keallper, Royal Z. Vantilburg, Val S. Cottrell, Chalmer M. Denham, Harvy F. Ogburne, Stanislaus G. Griffing, Alphonsus D. O'Dunnell, Nephi D. Bean, and Elmore K. Fashold.

Arizona ambushing the coach at Caliga Hall

Arizona proceeded to return to Rhodes, where he visited Jasper Feeney's gunsmith and purchased more repeater ammunition, briefly noticing the gunslinger Orin O. Hills standing outside of the gunsmith before Arizona rode off. Arizona rode to Anthony Foreman's shack, where Foreman asked if Arizona would make up for his last "cock-up", and hired him to steal a coach travelling from New Orleans to the Heartlands, as there was something Foreman wanted that was on the coach. Arizona intercepted the coach as it rode through Caliga Hall, and he killed the driver Snyder B. Bing, his shotgun messenger Claude B. Honza, and the coach's escorts Murray F. Totman and Leland M. Bimler before stealing the coach and driving it through the swamps of Bayou Nwa, the village of Lagras, and through an ambush by the Louisiana Raiders, killing Martin T. Wallick and wounding Clinton X. Gagnebin in the process. When he arrived at Maclean's House and delivered the coach to Eduard T. Colley, he was paid $17.08 for his success.

Arizona locating the Bluewater Marsh treasure

Now that he was in rural Louisiana, Arizona decided to take out his treasure map for Bluewater Marsh and search for secluded riches in the swamps. Arizona rode into the bayou near Lagras, and, after riding his horse through deep water, searching several small islands, and fighting off a cougar, he found a treasure chest sitting next to an abandoned wagon. Arizona opened the chest and found 1.35 bars of gold and $120.86 in cash, taking it for himself.

Motivated by his success in Louisiana, Arizona decided to ride north to Brandywine Drop to give its treasure map a second try. During the ride, he fell asleep and let Tom ride up the Mississippi River coast road, resulting in Tom trampling a civilian in Van Horn and Arizona acquiring a bounty on his head. Arizona succeeded in dodging the lawmen's bullets and escaping; his visit to Van Horn ensured that he had seen every town from Tumbleweed to Strawberry, and from Blackwater to New Orleans and Annesburg.

Arizona walking along a cliffside at Brandywine Drop

Arizona continued his ride to Brandywine Drop, reaching it by sunrise. Arizona proceeded to search the area for the treasure, again having little luck for around 20 minutes; he searched above the waterfall and at its lower level. However, he ultimately conceived the idea of sneaking along the narrow ledge within the waterfall to reach an upper level, and it was there that he found the treasure chest. Arizona opened the chest and found $119.26 waiting for him, finally retrieving the treasure. He also visited Willard's Rest, to the north of the falls, before riding back west to Hamish Sinclair's homestead near O'Creagh's Run.

Arizona ambushing the Skinners at the Loft

Once at O'Creagh's Run, Arizona spoke to Sinclair, who told him of the natural beauty of the region, yet warned him against assuming that the region's beauty made it peaceful. He proceeded to tell him about the Skinner Brothers, having heard word of their involvement in "suffering" and "captives"; he then asked Arizona to search "the Loft" and see if there were any captives up there. Arizona rode to "the Loft", finding that the Skinners were there in force, and he proceeded to gun down Hinnick R. Landrum, Jackson C. Schmeling, Hiram O. Brittain, Webb Z. Fish, and Albert Black-Feather before rescuing their captive George E. Herlan and taking him back to O'Creagh's Run on his horse. That night, Arizona was paid $15.85 for the man's successful rescue.

Arizona killing the Raiders at Pleasance

In the middle of the night, Arizona rode through the darkness to Joe Bedford's cabin at Lockesburg, Arkansas, where he sought more work. Bedford hired Arizona to assassinate several of his rivals from the Louisiana Raiders gang at Pleasance, Louisiana, so Arizona rode south to the abandoned town. There, he knocked out Griffin S. Willey in a fistfight before shooting his body and killing him, and he proceeded to kill Clemente V. Burlingim, Isadore P. Poindexter, Mardania E. Statton, Ell I. Hubbell, Abner F. Smearl, and Amisa F. Hushbarger in the ensuing shootout. His last target attempted to escape on horseback, but Arizona killed him with two longshots from his bolt-action rifle, after which he was paid $9.82 for his success in wiping out the gang. While riding away, he found the Raider Amsi S. Honton riding out of the town, and Arizona shot Honton in the head after a brief argument, ensuring that the last of the Raiders from the ghost town was dead.

While riding through the North Louisiana woods, Arizona came across the Aberdeen Pig Farm, and he stopped in and was greeted by the grotesque, yet welcoming Bray Aberdeen and his sister/lover Tammy. The two of them offered Arizona food, but Arizona politely declined, and Tammy suggested to Bray that Arizona was the "strong, silent type" they could employ. Bray agreed, and he told Arizona of a man, Guy Fruge, who had "took advantage of (their) warm hospitality and disrespected Tammy here," and asked Arizona to "apprehend" said folk and return them to the pig farm for "some reckoning of the situation." Arizona agreed, and he left to kidnap Fruge from his stagecoach out of New Orleans.

Arizona ambushed the wagon along the Ouachita River, killing its guards Orim F. Philpott, Clement R. McMaken, Everette B. Garherty, and Burke W. Gillet before lassoing and hogtying Fruge. Arizona proceeded to ride away from the muddy marshland and back to the Aberdeen Pig Farm, with Fruge loaded onto the back of his horse. Upon reaching the farm, Arizona took Fruge off the back of his horse and brought him into the farm, leaving him in front of the kitchen table where Tammy was cooking. The Aberdeens then thanked Arizona for his help and paid him $12.02 for his help.

Arizona proceeded to ride deeper into Louisiana, reaching the shack at Old Harry Fen and investigating it. He found that the outlaw Black Belle was sitting inside, and she lit a stick of dynamite and asked if Arizona was one of the bounty hunters who was after her. However, she noticed that Arizona was panicked and was raising his hands in surrender, and deduced that he was no bounty hunter. She then recognized him as one of the Sisika escapees and asked why he didn't just tell her that, and she asked him to rescue one of her gang members from a prison cart on its way to Rhodes, joking that he must be familiar with how jailbreaks worked.

Arizona intercepted the prison wagon just outside Caliga Hall (his third time near the hall in the past several hours), and he ambushed the police escorts, starting by killing the drivers and then gunning down the mounted guards. He proceeded to hijack the wagon and drive it to New Orleans instead of Rhodes, taking it to Job S. Dewit at a mill just outside the city limits. After arriving there, Arizona shot the lock off of the prison cart and set the prisoner, Buford S. Colston, free, upon which he was paid $7.07.

Arizona escorting Watt J. Wingenfield's caravan

Arizona proceeded to ride to the New Orleans train station, where Angus told Arizona that, "That awful Gray family at Caliga Hall needs some protection for a wagon travelling from the city." Arizona rode shotgun on Watt J. Wingenfield's lead wagon as Calloway U. Lawney drove the second wagon, and the three men fought off several ambushes by the Louisiana Raiders, killing Oscar B. Hickox and Pat B. Osterloh in the process. The wagon ultimately reached Caliga Hall safely, upon which Arizona was paid $13.67 for his success.

Arizona recovering the stolen wagon from Luther F. Herbaugh

Arizona then rode to Rhodes, where he spoke with Alden. Alden told him that a wagon had been stolen on the road south of town, and he asked Arizona to search for it and recover it. Arizona ambushed the wagon on a rural road and killed its driver Luther F. Herbaugh and two of its guards, including Bethuel N. Robison, before driving it towards Braithwaite Manor. Along the way, he killed the pursuers Lena G. Wolfrey and Benjaman L. Sherer before delivering the wagon to the manor, being paid .16 gold nuggets and $9.82.

Arizona drinking at the Rhodes Parlour House

Upon returning to Rhodes, Arizona visited Jasper Feeney's gunsmith, where he used a 50% off coupon to purchase a $270 Volcanic pistol for $135. Afterwards, he visited the Rhodes Parlour House for a beer, drinking in the company of upper-class people (such as Clement D. Wybell, Anthony Young Short, Edward L. Mayo, Glen T. McAlister and his wife Virginia McAlister, and Deborah H. Newsome and her sister Gladys G. Newsome) for the first time. Arizona also visited the clothing store, where he purchased a red Farley Shirt using a 100%-off coupon. Arizona, seeking to rest from his adventures, ultimately returned to his camp in Arizona after a long stagecoach ride and went to sleep beside the Rio Grande, temporarily hanging up his rifle and hitching his horse.

Hunting and hunted[]

Arizona attacking the outlaws at Hanging Dog Ranch

Two days later, Arizona met Mama Watson at her cabin in rural Colorado, where she rudely greeted him by excusing the smell, as she was having "the trots" like "rusty water", possibly from a soup. She then decided to employ Arizona as a hired gun in her feud with Colm O'Driscoll, sending him to Hanging Dog Ranch to destroy the O'Driscoll Boys' contraband. Arizona rode to the ranch and proceeded to gun down Egbert X. Hager, Ralleffe L. Dunford, Dempsey K. Swift, Elva K. Whittenburg, Lonnie T. Ashworth, Glen K. Persons, and Wayne Z. Hagerty in the ensuing shootout, as well as destroying the three supply crates scattered throughout the ranch. Arizona was paid $8.83 for his success.

Arizona then rode south to Strawberry in search of work, but, upon learning that Hector Barlow intended to use Arizona for a nonviolent repossession instead, Arizona - itching for gunplay - decided instead to leave town and ride to Texas to engage in hunting. Arizona rode to the Great Plains, where he searched the grasslands for deer. After stumbling across a herd, he fired an arrow which struck a pronghorn in the throat for an instant kill, and he proceeded to bring the perfect-quality carcass back to Blackwater and sold it to the butcher for $6.50.

Arizona proceeded to ride between the plains and Blackwater several times for the next two days, hunting deer and bringing back their carcasses. He brought back two deer for $6.50 each and a coyote for $3.50 on the first night, and, by dawn the next day, he arrived with a good pronghorn carcass worth $3.90. That day, he brought back a $6.50 pronghorn carcass and a $3.90 pronghorn carcass, gradually lining his pockets through honest work.

That afternoon, however, Arizona got into a public showdown with a local cowboy, Simon W. Ruppel, who rode across Arizona on a side street of Blackwater and rudely told him to move aside. Arizona responded by letting his Volcanic Pistol out of its holster, upon which Ruppel drew his own gun. Ruppel preemptively drew first and engaged in an exchange of gunshots with Arizona before trampling him, leaving Arizona unconscious. When Arizona recovered, he found Ruppel calmly riding out of town, causing him to draw his pistol and publicly shoot Ruppel in the head.

Arizona's first public murder led to the nearby witnesses scrambling and calling on the law to come after the gunslinger. Arizona engaged in a running gunfight with the policeman Radamus D. Mowbray and the rural lawman Sunders E. Lichtie, firing potshots as he ran out of the town and into the Great Plains. Lichtie, who was riding on horseback, quickly caught up to Arizona, forcing Arizona to shoot Lichtie in the head. This shooting delayed Arizona's escape long enough for Mowbray to catch up to him, but Arizona shot Mowbray as well. By then, Arizona had a 32¢ bounty on his head, and he watched as two lawmen vainly searched for him. After the lawmen gave up their search, Arizona rode back into town and paid off his bounty.

Arizona decided to continue his hunting in the plains, but he failed to find many quality deer to shoot, and, when he found one, it led him on a chase before disappearing near the crossing of the Canadian River. Arizona decided that, since he was nearing Colorado, he may as well ride back into the Rockies. Arizona rode to Strawberry, and, upon finding that Barlow wanted him to make mail deliveries, Arizona instead decided to ride to Valentine. When Arizona reached Valentine, he visited the gunsmith, where he decided to spend some of his money on a gun powerful enough to score him some perfect buffalo pelts. He purchased a sawed-off shotgun for $111, and he proceeded to ride out of town to resume his hunting activities. Arizona chanced upon an American pronghorn doe just outside town, and he killed it with an arrow and brought its carcass to the butcher, who bought it for $3.90. Afterwards, Arizona decided to rest a while in Valentine, now that he could afford to rest.

Meeting Marshal Davies[]

Arizona and Clara Blaycock meeting Tom Davies

A day later, Arizona rode from Colorado to Tall Trees, Texas, as he decided to take up Horley's advice and meet the US Marshal Tom Davies. He and another one of Horley's proteges, Clara Blaycock, met Davies at his camp, where a gruff Davies told the two that he hoped they were as decent as Horley said, as "this land is full of scum." Old Man Jones then walked up and told Davies that the two were "gooduns" with a "heart of pure gold", but Davies shooed the old man off. Davies then introduced himself to the gunslingers, and said that he had been sent on a trail of a band of killers, namely that of Alfredo Montez, who had killed a family near Thieves' Landing, and was wanted in four states and two countries. Davies said that Montez was reportedly holed up near Manzanita Post, and he persuaded Arizona and Blaycock to ride with him and take a look. During the ride, Davies said that men had been coming up from the Southwest to join his "merry band" for days, Del Lobo Gang members for the most part. He also advised the two gunslingers to bring bows with them.

Davies introducing the gunslingers to Lee Johansen

Upon reaching the post, Davies said that he could not be caught up in what the hired guns were about to do, and he introduced them to Lee Johansen, a tracker, informant, and bounty hunter who had been tracking down Montez. Davies greeted Lee and asked how he was doing, and Lee said that Montez was wily, as he was aware that he was being tracked, and his camp was crawling with patrols and guards. Johansen scoffed that Davies was paying the trio to do his job, but Davies said that he could not kill a man in cold blood without assembling the evidence he needed;however, he could turn a blind eye to an "unfortunate dispute" he did not see and the "deaths of some undesirables, the cause of which is uknown to me and other authorities."

Davies then took his leave, and Arizona and Blaycock followed Johansen into the forest. Each time the trio came upon a patrol, Johansen left it up to their discretion whether or not to kill them or let them pass, and, each time, Blaycock fired arrows at the outlaws, while Arizona used his rifle. This occasionally led to more gang members coming down upon the two outlaws, but each Del Lobo who came to fight was killed. After killing Mac E. Strow, Curt A. McClanahan, Burrel E. Larue, Carey Z. Webster, Calwin H. Furrows, Ygnacio González Reséndez, Raymondo Gracia Vargas, Lazzaro Quiroz Vargas, and Angelo Ontiveros Arroyo, the trio continued through the woods and past the Aurora Basin.

Arizona and Blaycock attacking the Del Lobos at Swadbass Point

That night, the three bounty hunters reached the Del Lobo camp at Swadbass Point, where they proceeded to engage in a shootout with the Del Lobos. Arizona used his bolt-action rifle to pick off several of the Del Lobos, while Blaycock continued to use her bow and arrow. Arizona was ambushed by an outlaw hidden in the woods and was injured, and he held in his blood as he watched Blaycock wade into the basin and fire her repeater rifle at the outlaws, clearly not coming to his haid. Arizona passed out, but, when he recovered, he helped to kill one of the last outlaws at the camp before joining Blaycock in walking over to the body of Montez.

Arizona and Blaycock standing next to Montez's headless body

Johansen walked over to Montez's body and told Arizona and Blaycock that all they needed was the head, and the latter two watched in disgust as Johansen hacked off Montez's head and put it in a bag. The three of them proceeded to leave the camp on the Del Lobos' now-masterless horses, and they rode through the woods and fought off Del Lobo ambushes as they made their way to Manzanita Post.

Davies telling Johansen of Montez's true identity

Once at the post, Johansen, Arizona, and Blaylock rendezvoused with Davies, who asked how they got on. Johansen said that they had gotten along just fine, and he promptly pulled Montez's head from the bag and flashed it before Davies, who slightly recoiled because of the abrupt motion. Davies told Johansen that the killing should show folks that he was willing to bring law and order anyway they could, but he said that the head was not of Montez, or, nor ot Alfredo anyway. He revealed that the head belonged to Alfredo's brother Jorge Montez, and he proceeded to pay the trio, saying that it was less than he promised, but it was more than nothing, and that he was being generous by paying them for the wrong victim. He then reassured than that the man they had killed was a terrible human being, and that only in his family was he considered a saint. Davies then told the hired guns to meet him again at Van Horn, as he believed he knew where Alfredo Montez was, and he then rode off. An angered Johansen threw Jorge's head into the forest, while Arizona and Blaylock parted ways.

Heinous deeds[]

Arizona standing before the burning coach

A day later, Arizona met up with Little Pete once again, this time outside of Valentine, where Little Pete was hunting both animals and humans. Pete gifted Arizona a poor-quality pronghorn carcass which Arizona sold to the Valentine butcher for $2.60, after which he joined Pete in his wild antics, riding in the back of a carriage which Pete had stolen. The carriage once dove of a cliff, with Arizona surviving the fall within the carriage, and escaping before the carriage and the dead horses were slowly burned by a fire caused by the smashing of one of the coach's lanterns.

Arizona leaving Emerald Ranch with the cow hide

Meanwhile, Pete hijacked a freight train, and Arizona hopped aboard it and joined Pete in driving it deeper into the Heartlands. They ditched the train at Emerald Ranch, where Arizona sold several of his ill-gotten gains (such as pocketwatches, lockets, rings, and gold teeth) to the fence Seamus Whittle and purchased an ancient tomahawk for use as a melee and thrown weapon. At the same time, Little Pete terrorized the cattle in their pens by shooting them with arrows and stealing their hides. Arizona reluctantly decided to join Pete, killing a Florida cracker cow with three arrows to his head, and then retrieving his poor-quality hide (ruined by the arrows to his head).

After waiting a long while for Pete to catch up - Pete was momentarily busy with killing several chickens - Arizona and Pete rode to Rhodes, Louisiana, where Pete sold three pieces of prime beef joint for $.45 each and a poor cow hide for $.80. The peaceful nature of the visit was shattered when Pete stole a local wagon, resulting in a shootout. Arizona merely spectated the shootout until the wounded lawman Everett D. Bethpage insulted him for getting in his way, rudely telling Arizona, "We don't tolerate sh** like you around here, make yourself scarce." Arizona responded by drawing his Volcanic istol and shooting Bethpage in the head, killing him. Arizona went on to join Pete's shootout with the local law, killing James Hall Cunningham, Robert E. Silvers, Henry Burwell Chester, and James Sutton Meadows in the ensuing gunfight.

Pete and Arizona escaping Rhodes on a carriage

Arizona was ultimately wounded and passed out in the street by a pile of horse manure, and, when he recovered, he watched Pete be beaten down by the African-American laborer Henry Dobbins. Meanwhile, Arizona headed to the train station to pay off his $.50 bounty. When Arizona returned to the town square, he found Pete attempting to kidnap a local woman, Ophelia Durant. Pete was shot by another townsman, and Arizona decided to cut Durant free, sympathizing with her. However, Durant assumed that Arizona was Pete's accomplice and walked towards him to strike him, only for Pete to shoot her dead from a distance. The two of them proceeded to escape town on a stagecoach, with Pete running down several fleeing townspeople as they left the town limits.

The two men rode to Caliga Hall, where Pete decided to kill the guards. Pete killed the guards Lee R. Thrasher and Kenneth Reilly Steele with arrows, as well as murdering David T. Betts. The two men then entered the plantation grounds, where Pete went on a killing spree and Arizona joined in an anti-elitist rampage; they killed the guards Charles R. Quesenberry, James Wayne Cessna, Gaines D. House, Leonard T. Shorey, and Ian C. Vincent (who opted to shoot at Arizona with his shotgun after a sympathetic Arizona cut him free from Pete's lasso, forcing Arizona to stab him in the abdomen with his knife).

A tomahawk-wielding Arizona watching Pete abduct Millie Philby

Arizona then followed Pete to the workers' cabins, where the monstrous Pete abducted Millie Philby in front of her sister Lettie Philby and rode off with her. Arizona killed the guard Mose M. Spears with a tomahawk as Arizona rode towards him, and he also threw his tomahawk into the back of Matthew R. Blassingame. The two proceeded to ride to the bank of the Ouachita River, where Pete set Philby free and proceeded to go alligator hunting, wading into the river to search for the animals after Arizona warned him against doing so. Pete succeeded in killing one, loading its skin onto his horse; meanwhile, Pete decided to rest for the night, parting ways with Pete after a day full of uncharacteristic mayhem.

Call to Arms[]

Weeks later, Arizona received word that a promising telegraph was waiting for him, and he rode from the desert of Arizona to the New Mexico town of Armadillo to visit the telegraph office and retrieve the telegram. Arizona discovered that the telegram came from an unknown individual who was sending out calls to arms far and wide to recruit gunslingers to help defend major settlements across the West from outlaw hordes. Arizona decided to take up his gun once again and ride for Fort Mercer, where a major bandit attack was expected.

Arizona arrived at Fort Mercer the next afternoon, and he was greeted by the fellow gunslingers Melito Toledo Tejeda, Delfín Gaona Veliz, Jairo Tafoya Robledo, Laurence X. Schweigart, Zachary B. Billingslea, and Asberry K. Ives, among others. He joined the pistoleros, who were assembled from far and wide, in stocking up on arms and ammunition and readying themselves for several large outlaw attacks, which would inevitably involve over a hundred ne'er-do-wells from across the Southwest.

Arizona and his allies proceeded to fight off attacks coming from all sides, including enemies charging at the fort's walls, enemies who scaled the fort's ladders and entered the fort, and even enemies who had made it into the fort and were taking cover in various positions. Among the dead outlaws were Howard V. Doolittle, Tobias N. Curran, Vester O. Wonderlick, Edwin Y. Whitstiern, Addison A. Gamachi, Ellery Q. Sussbary, Tilden F. Broyles, Lawerence P. Klumb, Hobart M. McGlasson, Epps G. Peedon, Dennis C. Schmidt, Pink O. Beales, Ed I. McCaula, Lark H. Dewey, Prosper U. Sheedy, Norwood J. Roggensock, Berton U. Lumry, Ebenezer N. Schund, Orla V. Fritz, Marzavine F. Liske, Jimmie A. Hopper, Gursham K. Fawcett, Alvah U. Ellard, Dillard F. Dorr, Orien H. Flemming, Dudley J. Lowder, Obediah Q. Beale, Brainard H. Mottinger, Marion J. Dehart, Wyatt V. Platte, Able Q. Grist, Nathaniel W. Capps, Elias A. Crowell, Lucius H. Charsell, Noys R. Dearborn, Joshua F. Scrivner, Hollis V. Harwill, Mant I. Pflug, Leonidas S. Letterfield, Marlin Q. Burrill, Alexandria H. Blakeley, Simeon F. Gillham, Brooks V. Borgquist, Ansel I. Farber, Bee A. Hevelom, George Y. Beezley, Eugene R. Salle, Abijah Y. Sengebusch, Edward Y. Paxton, Fletcher A. Braman, Tate X. Quisenbery, Willian Y. Beshers, Oda X. Curran, and Britt Y. Clarke. Arizona was ultimately wounded as the fort was overwhelmed by the outlaws, and the other gunslingers were killed by the attackers. Arizona emerged from the shootout as the only survivor, and his valiant stand at Fort Mercer boosted his fame in the Southwest.

Arizona and Pete arriving at Fort Mercer

Two days later, Arizona rendezvoused with Little Pete, who had also received a call to arms via telegraph, and the two decided to return to Fort Mercer to defend it from another outlaw attack. They joined forces with the hired defenders and proceeded to hold off several outlaw attacks, with Little Pete occasionally saving a wounded Arizona from death, and Pete even being knocked out in a fistfight brawl with one of the outlaws. The two killed Frederick O. McCoy, Reasoner S. Brantley, Graves P. Leet, Vernon A. Suddeth, Wendell K. Fay, Roy S. Megrue, Jesse U. Hendershott, Clayton K. McQueen, Samual K. Speas, Randall M. Eastland, Shedrick O. Miercier, Simon O. Naron, Hurley Q. Dacus, Lesley W. Stang, Harm C. Driesback, Hartwell W. Haddock, Linn W. Gallentine, Fred F. Roach, Dora X. Dapson, Uliseo Sanchez, Jarvis A. McGee, Cruz P. Fryer, Dannie U. Shill, Cleve P. Fassler, Bertie C. Haggert, Michah K. Billeter, Eliseo I. Shiholder, Elroy Z. Schawb, Atrahan T. Watt, Less N. Johnson, Carol F. Van Horn, Erie X. Sanchu, Antoine K. Platner, Aloysius A. Gutthrel, Wilmer O. Dwyer, Ezekiel I. Moreland, Knox D. Calanel, Dorr E. Burges, Fed H. Slaejant, Griffey E. Grothe, and Phelps Q. Haverstick, among others, before they were both gunned down and narrowly escaped.

Arizona walking through the shot-up Plainview camp

Having survived another thrilling shootout, the two friends then rode to Lake Don Julio to meet with James Langton, who told them that some rivals at Rio Bravo had refused to give him a cut of their business, and he hired them to destroy their supplies at their Plainview hideout. Arizona arrived first, followed by Pete, and they proceeded to ambush the Del Lobos and kill Hosey D. Flagle, Thomas K. Timple, Elijah D. McGregor, Eathan I. Willburn, Ebbie O. Mahle, Posey S. Hosey, Grove W. Vallet, Antonio Echevarría Grijalva, Pedro Rojo Rodríguez, and Vital Anguiano Puente before destroying their supplies by shooting them up or shooting the TNT stacked next to the wagons. After the supplies were destroyed, Arizona and Pete were each paid $33.16.

Arizona standing over Delma Pacheco Casanova's body

Arizona then suggested to Pete that they ride to Benedict Point to take a job from Hector Barlow, and, along the way, Arizona came across a seemingly stranded Mexican woman, Delma Pacheco Casanova, who requested to borrow his horse as he photographed her, claiming that it was for a magazine, and that she would pay him based on the quality of his photograph. However, she instead rode off on Arizona's horse and called Arizona idiota, forcing Arizona to run after his horse. Arizona cut across some shrubland as Delma rode the horse around a bend, intercepting her and shooting her dead. After looting her body, he returned to his horse and rode to Benedict Point.

Arizona fighting off Del Lobo ambushers outside of Tumbleweed

There, Arizona and Pete were hired to protect Asher E. Powell's wagon caravan as it rode to Tumbleweed. Arizona rode with Powell while Pete rode alongside the caravan on his horse, and they killed the ambushers Lawyer N. Scallion, Whiteley S. Reichert, Leto Baeza Ruvalcaba, Ezechiele Ramón Cabrera, Gerlando Moreno Ávila, and Godfredo Zapata Escalante, as well as a rival outlaw who attempted to attack the caravan from a sniping position. Upon delivering the wagons, Arizona and Pete were each paid $16.17, and they laid low in Tumbleweed for the next few days.

Arizona escorting Carded P. Mufford's caravan

Three days later, Arizona took a job from Sheriff Freeman to escort Carded P. Mufford's wagon caravan from Tumbleweed to Fort Mercer, and Arizona rode shotgun and killed the outlaws Hermes Molina Nevarez, Heberto Comejo Ceja, Fernando Sauceda Noriega, Pío Almonte Madera, and Romelio Alcalá Carreón, fending off several ambushes and killing several pursuers. Once the wagon caravan arrived at Fort Mercer, Arizona was paid $12.02 for his help.

Arizona approaching Venter's Place during a storm

Arizona then rode to Lake Don Julio to visit Langton for more work, and Langton hired Arizona to rustle him a horse from Venter's Place. Arizona rode up to the ranch during a rainstorm and killed the ranchers Florin Y. Stelley, Aubrey N. Schmitz, Logan O. O'Dunnell, Omar Z. Colt, Miles U. Frey, Eligah X. Blakey, and Ellery I. Gaily before stealing their horse and riding to Fort Mercer. There, he delivered the horse to Langton's associate Silvio Calderón Regalado, and he was then paid $13.23.

Arizona locating the stolen wagon in Pike's Basin

During his search for more work, Arizona stopped in the nearly deserted town of Armadillo and purchased ammunition, a pair of binoculars, and fishing bait from the general store shopkeeper Herbert Moon, and he then rode to MacFarlane's Ranch. That evening, he found Bonnie MacFarlane polishing a rifle on the ranch's porch, and she recruited him to recover the Armadillo undertaker's stolen wagon from Pike's Basin. Arizona rode into the labyrinth of Pike's Basin and located the bandit camp, where he killed the outlaws Evaristo Centeno Pedroza, Quintilio Olivárez Orta, Ramon Carrillo Botello, Lincoln Q. Mawson, Woodie M. Ryland, Collie B. Moran, Pearlie F. Vannostran, and Theophile P. Houston. Arizona then drove the stolen wagon back to Armadillo, shooting several pursuers before reaching Coot's Chapel. Upon the wagon's delivery, Arizona was paid $15.85.

Arizona shooting several attackers at MacFarlane's Ranch

Hoping to deal with his itchy trigger finger, Arizona looked through the telegrams in his bag and decided to answer MacFarlane's Ranch's call to arms. Taking up arms alongside the other ranch workers, Arizona and the others killed the outlaws Rutherford I. Hesse, Franklyn A. Towle, Adison C. Casselman, Baldwin F. Avery, Babe W. Fine, Underwood P. Wilhelm, Atlas B. Crandell, Simmie B. Baber, Marcon B. Krober, Maladia U. Seal, Theodore M. Omaha, Hubbard A. Hubbell, Fay S. Pense, Gibson I. Stapl, Loy G. Kellogg, Reece K. Saucier, Maurice F. Doyal, Rice T. Vogel, Emett M. Ransdall, Dock J. Turnahoe, Ballasar A. Beenger, Ephram K. Rundell, Alston J. McClaflin, Ashton R. Lawhead, Walker V. Kublen, Lealdas E. Englehart, Alta P. Sharkey, Billy E. Bodine, Crispin L. Remaly, Feanto M. Marsh, Gregeno I. Steine, and Rufus V. Hogue before the attacks temporarily ceased.

Little Pete then rode in to join his friend in defending the ranch, and they helped the other ranchers to hold off more attacks, killing Reno G. Fate, Lucus A. Fernan, Rob S. Hendershott, Lue Y. Lasley, Ryder L. Beaster, Washington Q. Reasoner, Crawford U. Connaughton, Leopold Y. Gile, Alexis K. Cleland, Hervey J. Burlock, Sid Z. Wellons, Lue G. Dimiler, Ansel L. Hannum, Raymond D. Hiller, Emzi J. Goozee, Gilman E. Mahany, Tyler D. Alves, Luman X. Dunker, Gottleib Z. Brandly, Osmyn W. Royce, Green B. Keach, Jose Q. Chevront, Uriah T. Rupel, Chancey Y. Karsten, Jefferson G. Hinck, Elwood H. Swyer, Colon S. Herriott, Swen Q. Lilley, Chittick J. Crow, Terence G. Beast, Wright B. Haslan, Issac M. Pangbum, Delbert U. Mattinger, Delos S. Heffington, Olie B. Gibbins, Wing A. Buddin, Snyder L. McCall, Jesse C. Holbrook, Holmes Y. Cowley, Hinnick M. McGurie, Burl I. Mechan, Llewellyn U. Poe, Rollie V. Zahn, Aden R. Foley, Hosey B. Emery, Abbott U. Schwartz, Alsey X. Vanhouten, Seward A. Rigdon, Aster P. Fitzmorris, Less W. Hammons, Linn K. Donnell, Orland G. Moultrop, Watt B. Peebles, Desmond N. Kepford, Gus L. Japhet, Pablo D. Hensel, Merle U. Borgas, Seldon Y. Moodie, Montgomery T. Breitenbach, Odie R. Satlin, Ken B. Billitter, Forest O. Donahoe, Sam I. Phillbrick, Primus Z. Metery, Peter D. Lansing, and Dempsey Y. Hodgin. However, Pete was wounded after one of the attacks and was forced to flee, and Arizona - who had killed several outlaws from a rooftop - was also forced to flee as the defenders were overwhelmed.

Over the next several weeks, Arizona returned to the Southwest, camping out in the desert and taking a long break from gunslinging. However, he decided to ride back into Tumbleweed one evening in search of more work. He spoke with Sheriff Freeman, who told him that a local citizen, Jake Aldereny, had his carriage stolen, and the thieves were last sighted at Jorge's Gap. Arizona set off in pursuit, and he killed the driver Wilhelm B. Lester and his accomplices, including Rayo Ramirez, who attempted to escape. Arizona returned the carriage to Sheriff Freeman, and he was paid $5.86 for the carriage's successful delivery.

Arizona riding into New Mexico in the morning rain

As a new day dawned, Arizona rode from Arizona to New Mexico, intent on finding work from Langton once again. Arizona again found Langton at his cabin on Lake Don Julio, and Langton told Arizona that he wanted him to rustle a horse from Venter's Place. Arizona agreed, as he figured that criminal work would pay better.

Arizona shooting the ranchers from the roof

Arizona rode to Venter's Place, an old target of Langton's rustling, where he shot the ranchers Alba Y. Givens, Rafe X. Coolidge, Olin C. Farnham, Cato C. Lewellyn, Arvin D. Erving, Will Z. Burroughs, and Cleave J. Cone. He then stole the horse from the ranch and rode it to Fort Mercer, where he delivered it to Quintiliano Magana and was paid $13.72.

Arizona shooting one of the assailants of Fort Mercer

With this job done, Arizona decided to take up a call to arms at Fort Mercer, which was again expected to come under attack from large numbers of outlaws. Arizona joined forces with the Anglo and Mexican gunslingers at Fort Mercer and aided in holding off several waves of outlaws, although he was ultimately shot in the side and wounded, leading to the fort being overwhelmed. Before Arizona was wounded, he managed to kill the outlaws Abner I. Helman, Laurie Z. Bruniswick, Harris R. Huffman, Minnie G. Smith, Josiah X. Peckham, Lue Z. Feste, Marcus Y. McCoy, Everald S. Oldham, Joaquin K. Boody, Ancil B. Snowdon, Marie T. Reeves, Emzi I. Tinkle, Ringo I. Wehn, Audie O. Power, Wat T. Raymour, Ethan P. Hollister, Alberto O. Koch, Bright E. Puncar, Erwin B. Coombs, Manley Q. Oeekle, Waldon B. Bush, and many others. Arizona again survived this setback, having been able to contribute his shooting skills as long as he could.

Arizona and Curley Tuster driving the wagon caravan

The next day, Arizona decided to travel to the snowy Heartlands as Christmastime set in. Arizona rode into Valentine, where he met with Alden Carruthers at the post office. There, he was recruited to escort a caravan from Valentine to Carmody Dell, and he rode with Curley Tuster as Tuster drove a wagon through perilous terrain. Arizona killed the three ambushers Craig P. Thamer, Linzy D. Bennewies, and Coley R. Callott as they attempted to ambush the caravan on a hilltop, and the two wagons were able to reach Carmody Dell in safety.

Arizona then rode back to Valentine for more work, meeting with "the Boy" for a criminal job. "The Boy" told him that the Cornwall Company had made a foe of him, and he hired Arizona to go to their camp and take out anything that wasn't strapped down. That night, Arizona rode over to the Cornwall camp and blew up several wagons of supplies, also killing the guards Benaga A. Rains, Gains J. Lain, Hughie Y. Burkett, Nicolas X. Ensel, Rev Q. Hurford, Rollie K. Sykes, Friend L. Lafrantz, and Melville F. Bergener. After shooting an oil barrel until it exploded, he was paid for his success.

Arizona decided to ride south to Louisiana before returning west, and he rode to Rhodes. During his ride into the small hamlet on the outskirts of Rhodes, where Josiah Trelawny lived, Arizona accidentally trampled the vagrant Joel T. Bailer, who retaliated by attempting to shoot Arizona dead. Arizona and him exchanged potshots as each of them ran to cover, but Arizona later came up close enough to pistol-whip him to death. He then talked with Trelawny, who enlisted his help with rescuing three men who had been kidnapped for ransom by the Raiders and held at Lonnie's Shack.

Arizona taking the freed captives to the trapper's cabin

Arizona proceeded to ride to Lonnie's Shack, near the border with Arkansas, where he ambushed the Raiders and killed the insurgents Philetus S. Waddell, Norval E. Wilhite, Eligah I. Zugg, Authur H. Criley, Dallas M. Fanoer, Eaborn C. Washburn, Jasper B. Kinghorn, and Manley P. Phifer before rescuing the captives Jesse A. Clay and Clarence T. Found; one of the captives was killed by his captors while trying to flee. Arizona took Clay and Found to a trapper's cabin along the Ouachita River, where he was paid $13.25 for their rescue.

Arizona stealing the horse from Caliga Hall

Arizona proceeded to ride south to New Orleans, riding past several white and black corn farmers before trotting down the city's streets. Arizona decided to meet with Anthony Foreman and find work, so Foreman handed him a letter which requested that he steal a horse from Caliga Hall. Arizona rode into the countryside to the estate, where he stabbed the guard Ed Pettygore with a knife before killing the other Gray family guards Neri T. Redfern, Almond R. Darr, Emilio O. Wambaugh, Euphrates J. Shones, Carter U. Beall, and Rodney J. Satlin. He proceeded to steal the horse and deliver it to Foreman's associate Richards G. Sapp, and Arizona was paid $13.15.

Martelli telling Arizona about capitale — Martelli telling Arizona about *capitale*

While in New Orleans, Arizona met with the mafioso Guido Martelli in a local park, and Martelli introduced Arizona to the concept of capitale, private bonds which were used as a form of payment by his employer Angelo Bronte as a means of evading taxes. He told Arizona that the use of capitale was a more civilized way of doing things, but that a large number of capitale had been acquired by ordinary outlaws. In return, Martelli promised to introduce Arizona to Senator Antoine Ricard, who was planning on turning New Orleans into a model city ahead of the 1899 Sacramento States' Fair, and who had also caused some problems for the Mafia. Before Arizona left, Chief Benjamin Lambert arrived and presented Martelli with the capitale thief Wes Burrus, threatening to execute him until Burrus confessed that he had obtained the capitale from Leviticus Cornwall. Arizona then had Lambert take Burrus away to have him face justice, and he walked to his carriage and told Arizona that he would never see him again, but would keep in touch with him through intermediaries whom Arizona was already familiar with, such as Langton and Foreman. Martelli then told Arizona, "Happy hunting" in Italian, and he rode off.

Arizona getting a short haircut in New Orleans

Arizona then decided to ride to the barber to cut his hair, intent on using some of the $800 he had stored up. He had his hair cut short, parting his hair in the middle, and he also trimmed his mustache into a "Walrus"-style. He then rode to Marcel Beliveau's photography studio to take a photograph of himself with his new haircut and his fancy clothing, paying $5 for a professional portrait. Afterwards, he rode to Kuo Chao's gunsmith and bought a Rolling Block sniper rifle for $246.68 and a Litchfield repeater for $348, improving his arsenal.

A New Partner[]

Arizona and Iron-Sights attacking the bandit camp

The next day, Arizona returned to the Southwest, where he met the African-American gunslinger Iron-Sights Jones, an associate of Little Pete. The two men decided to seek work from Shaky, who hired them to "dry-gulch" some Del Lobos who were camping out north of Mercer Station. Arizona and Jones rode to the camp, where they proceeded to shoot the outlaws Calixto Serna Molina, Lalo Feliciano Villaseñor, Juan Rentería Ávalos, Leal Barragán Salinas, Leocadio Ayala Mascarenas, Romelio Pelayo Prieto, Angelino Zelaya Matías, Erie H. Rabb, and Phillips E. Hiller. Arizona chased down and killed Ayala and Pelayo when they attempted to flee on horseback, while Iron-Sights killed the other fleeing leader of the gang. The two men were each paid $10.54 for their efforts.

Iron-Sights, Arizona, and Cleve Vandermark at Fort Mercer

Arizona and Iron-Sights, now friends, decided to help a band of desperados hold Fort Mercer against several outlaw assaults, joining Cleve Vandermark in taking up the call to arms. They made it through six waves of outlaws at one point, gunning down Alfonzo I. Barleaw, Egbert O. Dranker, Drew W. McKeen, Handy S. Frody, Lorenza C. Leney, Estill V. Sauerhager, Okey N. Krieger, Johnathan Z. Hazen, Ayers I. Russ, Oscar B. Hedman, Alvarado M. Dubois, Parley X. Olinger, Edgar B. Jacquel, Jackson A. Hendershott, Corrin P. Merrit, Corrin P. Merrit, Larry F. Wygint, Eden O. Arnell, Epps V. Schuman, Delvin H. Shelton, Joshua D. Secrest, Hope G. Huckabee, Alford A. Seal, and Blake Y. Grandy, among others. For his contributions in holding off the first several waves, Arizona was paid $143.20.

Arizona guarding Able T. Sawyers' wagon caravan

Arizona and Iron-Sights then rode to Tumbleweed, where Iron-Sights wanted to purchase ammunition for his weapons. Both Arizona and Iron-Sights stocked up on ammunition, and, when Iron-Sights told Arizona that he wanted to go to a stable, Arizona decided that they would have to ride to Blackwater. Hoping to make some money along the way, he agreed to help Sheriff Freeman and Able T. Sawyers escort a wagon caravan to Fort Mercer. Arizona and Iron-Sights took the reins of their wagons and drove the wagons to Fort Mercer themselves, as Iron-Sights wanted to ride faster. Along the way, the gunslingers killed the Del Lobo ambushers Arturo Olivera Meléndez and Quinto Balderas Alcalá, among others, and they successfully delivered their wagons to the fort for $12.89.

Arizona and Iron-Sights proceeded to make their way to Blackwater; along the way, Iron-Sigts shot Ephram I. Tetley and Elder D. Tuttle dead after bumping into them provoked them into violence against him. Iron-Sights also dragged Lane K. Hayne behind him with a lasso, torturing him; Arizona refused to shoot the man as Iron-Sights demanded. Iron-Sights let the man go after a period of dragging him up a hillside, but, when the man cursed Iron-Sights as he ran off, Iron-Sights shot him dead, much to Arizona's dismay.

After a ride through the plains of Texas, the two men reached Blackwater, where they visited the livery yard and its employee Willis F. Snider. Arizona brought out his new horse Cherry, who was faster than Tom, and he placed his saddle on her and decided to let Tom have a rest. He also spent $125 to insure his horse, ensuring that she would also be well protected.

Arizona and Iron-Sights hunting in Colorado

While Iron-Sights visited the livery yrd, Arizona attempted to search for prey in the Great Plains, but he found no animals in the misty darkness, and so returned to Blackwater to meet with Iron-Sights, who wanted to hunt big game. Arizona had Iron-Sights follow him to Colorado, where the two rode through the Blackbone Forest and Iron-Sights hunted a wild boar. The two then made their way to Strawberry, which Iron-Sights fell in love with due to its holiday season snow and its beautiful lanterns.

Arizona and Iron-Sights rode north of the town and into the woods, where Arizona was able to pursue and hunt a deer with a fine pelt. He shot the deer as it attempted to cross a stream, and Arizona ran into the river to catch the carcass before it could float away. He and Iron-Sights then returned to Strawberry, where Arizona sold the carcass for $4.20.

Arizona and Iron-Sights riding through the snowy mountains

Iron-Sights then insisted that they hunt more expensive game, so they rode far north into remote Colorado to search for bears and cougars. They rode up a steep mountain and found a cave on the other side, although, after investigating it with lanterns, they were unable to find a bear.

Arizona and Iron-Sights sitting by a campfire

Arizona then took notice of their proximity to Mama Watson's cabin, so he rode to the cabin and spoke to her about a job. Watson lamented how her family used to be the only one in the area, before the Russels and Mahoneys showed up; she then asked Arizona to send the "clodhoppers" on their way by destroying the goods they were piling up at Little Creek. Arizona and Iron-Sights then rode to Little Creek, where they killed the O'Driscolls Nathan O'Carolan, Timothy O'Mangan, Ruadhán O'Flaherty, and Aaron O'Lynn, among others, and destroyed their supplies by blowing them up. The two outlaws then relaxed by the dead outlaws' campfire, where Iron-Sights cooked pork from a dead wild boar and Arizona crafted horse medicine, miracle tonic, and other drinks from the herbs he obtained at the post office in Blackwater. The two then parted ways, with Iron-Sights returning to his new home of Strawberry.

A day later, Arizona rode to Valentine, where he decided to take on work from Alden and recover a stagecoach which had been stolen. To his surpprise, Arizona found that Little Pete had killed the O'Driscoll bandits and taken the stagecoach himself, as Little Pete was riding through thte Black Hills at the same time. Pete then delivered the stagecoach to Valentine, and Arizona was paid $6.97 for a job he had little part in. He then rode back to Valentine with Pete and grabbed drinks with him, and they were soon joined by Iron-Sights in the first occasion in which the three men met as a gunslinging trio. Pete again caused trouble by ascending the saloon's staircase and shooting the patrons Jeptha A. Stayner and Grady P. Mears dead. Arizona also got into a fight with Nell Bryan after she taunted him on entering the saloon, so Arizona shot her in the head with his rifle. She survived, returning to the saloon with a vengeance and getting into a gunfight with Arizona, Iron-Sights, and Pete.

Iron-Sights, Arizona, and Pete walking into Valentine

After a while, the three men decided to cease their shootout with Bryan and instead answer the town's call to arms as it came under attack from several outlaw bands. Arizona, Iron-Sights, and Pete took cover on the rooftops of Valentine's buildings and killed dozens of outlaws, including Wheeler L. Champe, Sherwood H. Stillwell, Alrah Y. Pudiwitter, Gregorio P. Peedon, Hosie G. Bayse, Benjamen H. Peasley, Spurgeon V. Beck, and Springer J. Dubbs. With several outlaws dead, the three outlaws decided to part ways, so Arizona, now alone, decided to find some work by himself.

Arizona met with the Boy, who again wanted him to teach the Cornwall Company a lesson for slighting him. Arizona rode to Cornwall Kerosene & Tar, where he stealthily killed the guard Elbert T. Henry with a knife before being detected on trying to stab Simion N. Guldin dead. Arizona went on to shoot Gordon B. Vandike, Young G. Likens, Adelard T. Trine, Ebb Y. Odell, Antony I. Brashers, Ollie I. Deschamp, and Porter Y. McCallum, while also destroying the company's supplies by shooting a tank of oil and destroying two crates of supplies by shooting nearby boxes of dynamite. After killing McCallum, the last of the guards, Arizona was paid $10.78.

Arizona protecting Azariah D. Branum's caravan

Arizona then spoke with Alden and agreed to escort a wagon caravan from Valentine to Rhodes, riding with Azariah D. Branum and Lark Y. Weaver. Arizona held off several ambushers who attempted to attack the caravan as it rode across the moonlit Great Plains, and they enjoyed an otherwise peaceful ride until they reached Scarlett Meadows, upon which a band of Louisiana outlaws attempted to ambush them as well. Arizona helped to put an end to these ambushers as well, and the caravan ultimately reached Rhodes in peace; Arizona was paid $24.51 for the wagons' safe arrival.

The next day, Arizona rode to MacFarlane's Ranch to seek out work from Bonnie MacFarlane, who hired him to recover Herbert Moon's lost cart from a gang of outlaws along the Rio Grande. Arizona located the outlaws near Brittlebrush Trawl, and he killed Fabiano Varela Garibay, Durant W. Shelby, Erico Nieves Ávila, Adolph A. Severt, and Atilio Romero Toledo, many of them with a sniper rifle, before bringing Moon's cart back to MacFarlane's Ranch. Arizona was paid $9.85 for the cart's recovery.

Arizona stealing a horse from MacFarlane's Ranch

Arizona then rode out to meet Langton in the Texas plains, and Langton ironically hired Arizona to rustle a horse from MacFarlane's Ranch. Arizona rode back to the ranch, killing the ranchers Gillam M. Bokair, Emil F. Crume, Theron T. Bayless, Alois W. Biddy, Nephi S. Moring, Corbin D. Linebarger, and Dink H. Harrold before rustling the horse and riding it to Manzanita Post, fending off Del Lobo Gang ambushers along the way. On delivering the horse to Manzanita Post, Arizona was paid $15.88.

Arizona proceeded to travel to Thieves' Landing to find work from Shaky, who hired him to bust out a Del Lobo from a prison cart before he could be taken to prison in Blackwater; he stressed the importance of allying with the gang as it took over Thieves' Landing. Arizona rode out to the Great Plains and killed the prison cart driver Clarbourn M. Childs and the cart's escorts before taking over the cart and driving Buell V. Mart back to Thieves' Landing. The police attempted to ambush the cart as it arrived in Thieves' Landing, but Arizona shot them dead and then freed Mart from the prison cart, being paid $14.36 for securing his freedom.

With these jobs done, Arizona rode to Benedict Point in New Mexico, where Hector Barlow recruited him to escort a wagon to Tumbleweed. Arizona rode with Burney C. Bisphaur as he drove through bandit country, and he shot outlaws such as Teodoro Cárdenas Ulibarri and Clemens R. Slater when they tried to ambush the wagon. The two wagons ultimately arrived in Tumbleweed safe and sound, and Arizona was paid $7.37.

Arizona chasing down Mederico Esquibel Serna

Now that he was in Tumbleweed, Arizona bought ammunition and met with the Sheriff, who told him that the O'Driscolls were responsible for some dead farmers and stolen wagons in the area, and that he wanted him to recover a stolen wagon as it was on its way to Rio Bravo. Arizona intercepted the wagon just south of Tumbleweed, shot the driver Mederico Esquibel Serna, and took the wagon back to Tumbleweed, making a quick $6.34.

Arizona ambushing the outlaws in Pike's Basin

Arizona then rode to Langton along the shore of Lake Don Julio, and Langton hired him to assassinate several of his foes at Pike's Basin. Arizona tracked down several outlaws at their camps around Pike's Basin, killing Edwin N. Loftin, Maladia C. Woodruff, Isreal I. Dore, Slim N. Vanlear, Kirby A. Bucher, Whiteley F. Carell, and Levy B. Deneson, but he was unable to kill all of the outlaws in time, as the last two targets escaped just as he reached their camp; he was nevertheless paid $14.81 for the targets he was able to eliminate.

Arizona escaping with the capitale — Arizona escaping with the *capitale*

Arizona once again met Langton at his camp in rural Texas, where Langton told him that he became aware of a shipment of valuables, including capitale, which was being moved into the Southwest. Arizona went to the last known location of the stagecoach, a campsite full of dead bodies, and he kicked several hostile badgers to death as he searched the bodies and chests for the stagecoach's schedule. He was ultimately able to track the stagecoach down to Armadillo, where he killed the driver James H. Keiber and the guards Claro Espinosa Velasco and Justus B. Burges before shooting the passenger Harold W. Dodson and taking the satchel of capitale. Arizona rode to a rural shack, capitale in tow, as he fought off several pursuers on horseback. Arizona was able to deliver the capitale to Langton's contact Julian F. Grisby, who paid him $29.62.

Arizona shooting an outlaw at MacFarlane's Ranch

Arizona then answered MacFarlane's Ranch's call to arms as hundreds of outlaws descended on the ranch with violent intentions, and Arizona proceeded to join the farm-hands in taking up their guns. He killed Ernst L. Rebucks, Aaron V. Wofford, Montgomery K. Spaid, White I. Slavens, Augustus D. Calliott, Augusta C. Busler, Thurman Y. Casselman, Wellington P. McClemans, Orlo L. Goozee, Iscelus G. Albertson, Orrin J. Chatfield, Will P. Reeder, Jonas W. Pease, Ammon H. Cheney, Budd I. Keifer, Jabez A. Brinker, Laurie K. McGath, Myrtle M. Olliver, Roman F. Sterville, Roman F. Sterville, Lawton V. Wiegman, Menzo R. Lydeck, Holbert L. Mavis, Linus D. Tessier, Gideon V. Minhouse, Armstead Q. Draper, Mant P. Neck, Wheaton N. Lonadias, Stonewall P. Griman, Croin E. Hill, Prosper Q. Solmon, Hughie S. Englehart, Ocie T. Coven, Eugene M. Offertt, Landon V. Kiester, Jerome C. Rupert, Delos H. Rawlings, Dillon V. Duff, Whitten R. Poindexter, Isadore B. Hotchkiss, Reed D. Croft, Alberto W. Crumpacker, Orel J. Tapp, Judas T. Garis, Wright T. Gillet, North O. Steeley, Talmage X. Marter, Clinton E. Strague, Zachariah Z. Wanzer, Willie M. Hancock, Arma T. Trowbridge, Marian Z. Simpson, Arley J. Kelso, Elijah S. Goodshaw, Watt A. Hubble, Clarence J. Kono, Dominic C. Ock, Clifton H. Van Orman, Tobe O. Byers, Troy C. Wite, Demetrious Z. McReary, George S. Hallenbeck, Hosie A. Yosten, Reeves A. Baumbaugh, Atticus H. Doran, Augustin H. Schannell, Julian B. Lodefield, Rollo Y. Byles, Howell T. Gestwite, Liston N. Rockliff, Sylvanus P. Elston, Crawford L. Hobson, and Robt A. Hazens, among others, but he was ultimately wounded. Arizona escaped the ranch as the attacks subsided, and he decided to rest from his day's labors.

Arizona killing the outlaws at Stillwater Creek

The next day, Arizona rode to the plains of Texas to meet Langton for another job, and Langton told Arizona that he wanted him to eliminate a band of misfits camping out in Stillwater Creek. Arizona rode to the creek and shot several outlaws before chasing down several more on horseback and shooting them; finally, he headed to a pier along the Rio Grande and killed the last of his targets. With Elonzo K. Scruggs, Firman P. Franks, Eli S. Mahon, Albion K. Mawe, Llewellyn J. Dahen, Armistead S. Spieth, and Loranzo K. Kinnamon dead, Arizona collected his reward.

Arizona coming across Ainsley I. Stickler's wagon

Arizona then returned to Thieves' Landing, where Shaky asked him to recover a wagon which had been hijacked by the O'Driscolls before it could deliver a shipment to him; Shaky offered to give Arizona the money he was going to give to the vendor. Arizona intercepted the wagon in the Great Plains, killing the driver Ainsley I. Stickler and shooting several of the pursuers. However, Croin C. Snow pursued Arizona and wounded him, repeatedly holding him off with a Carcano rifle as another member of Snow's posse stole the wagon for himself, depriving Arizona of a reward.

Arizona rode to nearby Riggs Station to search for a job from Hector Barlow, who hired him to escort a wagon caravan to Strawberry. Arizona escorted Hollie Z. Raymour's caravan through the mountains, fighting off several ambushers along the way. After a ride which was met with some fierce resistance along the way, Arizona delivered the wagon to Strawberry in safety and was paid $7.68. Arizona proceeded to ride out of Strawberry and back through the snowy forests and hills, bound for Valentine and more work.

Arizona destroying a cart of supplies at Cornwall Kerosene & Tar

Arizona met with "the Boy" on the outskirts of Valentine, and "the Boy" once again hired him to destroy the Cornwall Company's supplies. Arizona rode to the Cornwall facility, where he shot the guards Banks T. Marrell, Chance M. Ler, Cameron E. Werhan, Marcus H. Gilligan, Warren O. Monon, Ken R. Galway, Mark O. Sevier, Alta P. Rightmire, Rich F. Roycraft, and Dewitt D. Melvin before destroying the company's supply carts and oil tank. Arizona was paid $11.17 for his success.

Afterwards, Arizona met with Alden at Valentine Station and agreed to recover a stolen wagon from the O'Driscolls, but it took him some time to pursue the wagon and shoot its drivers, as his horse grew tired and his shooting was inaccurate due to the distance. Arizona just narrowly missed the window for delivering the wagon back to Valentine, so he ditched the wagon in front of the Valentine saloon and decided to get himself drunk. In the process, he was knocked out in a bar fight with Benjaman B. Schueler, sobering him up.

Arizona walking down the embattled main street of Valentine

Arizona, desiring to take out his anger, accepted Valentine's call to arms to fight off gangs of low-lifes who were descending upon Valentine. Arizona killed Warren F. Bachelor, Bryson Y. Phillipi, Bent Q. Carson, Perley H. Danley, Ell R. Hopt, Cletus A. Gron, Alfredo Y. Sheep, Romulus E. Rutledge, Bascom V. Schneller, Arson V. France, Milo F. Burge, Ely I. Laforn, Elvin J. Amy, Elvin J. Amy, Branch O. Lepper, Bunyan O. Hendon, Johansen K. Brannard, Gerard C. Henry, Douglass G. Heniken, Blas K. Daves, Garfield R. Kelm, Leopoldt L. Steuber, Golden B. Brown, Jospeh D. Maddison, Washington V. Rains, Carey L. While, Noyes F. Petit, Jasper R. Cristler, Obediah K. Chittenden, Cassidy N. Sunger, Hillary C. Helms, Hence T. Breeze, Rosco N. Hayward, Royster Z. Pipkin, Holly B. Rack, Beecher E. Malloy, Dixie W. Krysell, Tollie P. Derman, and Hermon S. Kinkead, holding off the attacks on the town.

The next day, Arizona traveled to Blackwater, where he intended to meet up with Little Pete. The two men decided to take up the town's call to arms to defend Blackwater from a horde of outlaws who were in a position to overwhelm the town's undermanned police force. Arizona and Pete killed dozens of outlaws, including Claus O. Chisom, Harm P. Forsyth, Eaborn C. Retchless, Eruin V. Stuck, Gotlieb Z. Sledge, Izatus U. Mohr, Obe Q. Hemperley, Rueben G. Bombarger, Elroy A. Cornne, Orange O. Whatley, Meyer C. Nolan, Courtney E. Harding, Caesar S. Willer, Shelton T. Eighmy, Graves Q. Gloss, Jacob S. Bense, Lucian X. Gardonhire, Guilford O. Burton, Leotris U. Connaughton, Jarvil F. Lehue, Howard C. Hendrix, Arther Z. Reahm, Theophile M. Premer, Jule Z. Moonberg, Burr G. Causin, Alva E. Walls, Alexander J. Pilsbury, Archie C. McRea, and Cleatus C. Orrick before the outlaws retreated.

Pete then persuaded Arizona to join him in hunting in the Great Plains, and, during their hunt, Pete gifted Arizona with a Pronghorn carcass which sold for $2.69. The two then visited E.H. Kretzschmar's tailor store, where Pete wanted to finally spend some money on a new outfit, and Arizona wanted to buy a new outfit. Arizona bought the Zacateca outfit, a stylish vaquero outfit, while Pete bought a leather coat and new pants. The two then made their way to the barber, where Pete finally styled his hair and trimmed his mustache, and the two finally headed to the photo studio, where they took two photos for $5 each, the freinds finally documenting their partnership in crime.

The two then returned to the plains, where Pete attempted to persuade Arizona to join him in a cruel game of lassoing strangers, setting them free, and coompeting to see who could kill them with a bow and arrow first. Arizona refused, but Pete nonetheless murdered Cyrill H. Schoolcraft, Albertus E. Chaffin, Seaborn N. Van Camp, Jasper P. Franks, and Eben Q. Burkett; he wounded Eben Q. Burkett, but was shot by a passer-by before he could kill him, and Arizona later lied to Pete that he had killed Burkett, having secretly let him off instead. Soon enough, several lawmen came after Pete, and Arizona was caught up in the shootout and forced to help his fellow posse member kill the lawmen Edmond O. Dolan, Cora M. Townsley, and Burnett F. Vivrette; while riding off to meet up with Langton for more work, Pete also murdered Calmer D. Kirby.

Arizona coming upon the targets at Stillwater Creek

When the two men reached Langton, Langton hired the two to track down a gang to Stillwater Creek and eliminate them. While Pete focused on the targets further inland, Arizona rode down to the banks of the Rio Grande and killed the targets Edson V. Chipman, Orin Y. Bainter, Ely S. Gown, Romano Rico Berrios, and Archibaldo Rosas Navarro. Iron-Sights arrived in time to help Pete finish off the last target, and Arizona and Pete were each paid $11.22 for the job.

Iron-Sights, Arizona, and Pete arriving in Valentine before the shootout

Arizona, Pete, and Iron-Sights proceeded to answer Valentine's call to arms at Iron-Sights' request; Pete also wanted to earn more money, having spent most of it on his clothing and haircut. The trio of gunslingers arrived in town in a rainstorm and took up arms alongside the locals, killing the outlaws Dorsey U. Eliot, Myers V. Brewer, Leopold K. Brings, Mal F. Marseal, Anson E. Vesey, Stacy T. Wintenberger, Julien C. Wylie, Jay C. Brubaker, Zachariah A. Alderson, Micheal M. Lasater, Ernst Q. McSwan, Damon Z. Merwin, Sumner T. Mara, Ida Z. Prior, Dee A. Henderson, Ruby T. Burt, Pete Y. Blackwood, Sherwood X. Keerrey, Travis P. Summit, Cyril O. Blirker, Adi Q. Roland, Sam L. Drumm, Ruffin S. Feldmeyer, Benjman L. Garlick, Shadrick Y. Greer, Merlin N. Auerback, Ringo E. Gerkin, Malden A. Delay, Pedro G. Cherry, Clare X. Emerson, Clair N. Childre, Ellery G. Botsford, Manwell G. Mortimore, Otha L. Burgard, Rudy I. Youn, Garry Y. O'Conner, Arnett C. Gongwer, Worth S. Pendergast, Reece U. Schweigart, Tynes J. Neuzel, Andrew K. Patnam, Willie O. Stottler, Orley G. Flennaken, Josh N. Kinnamon, Darrell N. Looper, Alph V. Browers, Huston Z. Schultze, Ammon P. Gore, Stacy G. McKirahan, Wilber T. Sackerson, Allie U. Coxwell, Rube J. Tollison, Morris N. Beget, Gaston U. Roberson, Orrie L. Dowling, Carlisle I. Vanhorn, Angel A. Posey, Barney M. Holoday, Sydney P. Schwab, Purdy F. Hayns, Cephus W. Grossmann, Jimmy W. Buddar, Lain C. Houck, Namon M. Holland, Hoyt J. Menhenett, Irvine W. Nipard, Emry M. Erwin, Snyder G. Gumpert, Gabriel N. Ansen, and Clayton C. Prescott, among many others. Ultimately, the trio split up after tiring of holding off the outlaws, who also retreated from their failed and costly attacks.

The next day, Arizona met up with Iron-Sights in rural Oklahoma as Iron-Sights used a treasure map to hunt down a treasure near Flatneck Station. While Iron-Sights searched for the treasure chest, Arizona was kidnapped by the outlaw Orrin B. Rayles, who lassoed him and threw him from the railroad bridge. Arizona survived, and he returned to Rayles' camp to seek vengeance as Iron-Sights singularly focused on looking for the treasure. Rayles and Arizona had a gunfight with rifles until Rayles fled, upon which Arizona was forced to have his vengeance by shooting up Rayles' camp and throwing a fire bottle at his Christmas tree.

Arizona and Iron-Sights coming across the scene of the saloon massacre

After Iron-Sights found the treasure along Flat Iron Lake, he and Arizona decied to ride to Valentine, where Iron-Sights wanted to purchase ammunition. Arizona bought the "Grizzlies Outlaw" outfit from the tailor, coincidentally donning the same outfit as Rayles. When they went to visit the saloon, however, they found the bodies of the lawmen Wyatt K. Gill, Beecher Z. Vornberg, Jarett D. Christian, Jerome T. Hotshkiss, Acey A. Hughy, and Mathias O. Mauldin laying on the floor of the saloon; with them were the charred bodies of a gunman and a prostitute. Within a few minutes, however, the saloon's regular customers walked in and sat down for poker, and Arizona was shocked at how fast life went back to normal.

Arizona and Iron-Sights arriving in Strawberry

Arizona then read a telegram from his mysterious associate "J" telling him, "That band of miscreants last seen in Colorado. Strawberry readying for a fight. Small town with small town law. You would be a real big shot in their ranks. Expect good money." The two gunslingers decided to answer the town's call, and they each protected one side of the town (which was divided by Hawks Eye Creek). The two of them gunned down Laverne Z. Lindner, Dink R. Dalee, Early N. Babb, Earlis Z. Urwiller, Acie G. Benedix, Domingo W. Chilvers, Hinnick U. Digby, Emma P. Gakely, Eben U. Gleason, Montraville P. Boley, Zaremba P. Rutherford, Justus C. Downs, Billie I. Rudd, Walton O. Stayton, Warner T. Rudolph, Amos N. Keeney, Jas W. Plunkett, Jariah T. McGee, Elonzo K. Nablen, and Alvi S. Cobian.

Arizona catching up to Iron-Sights and the recovered wagon

After holding off several outlaw attacks, the two men rode to nearby Riggs Station for work. Angus Elliston hired the two men to steal a wagon which had been hijacked by the O'Driscolls, and the two of them chased down and killed the wagon thieves Jaxon Dowey and Jason O'Duff before returning the wagon to Downes Ranch for $5.58.

Arizona and Iron-Sights riding through Colorado on the wagon

Arizona and Iron-Sights went on to hunt in the wilderness of Nebraska before returning to Valentine, where the Boy hired them to eliminate a former friend of his who was being transported to Fort Wallace in a prisoner's cart, as his former friend was supposedly colluding with the bounty hunters to betray him. However, the prisoner was able to escape their ambush, so they took the dead bounty hunters' wagon for themselves. Arizona decided to show Iron-Sights the Rockies, so they rode to Valentine, where they visited the gunsmith and Arizona bought a pump-action shotgun for $266, and they proceeded to embark on a long ride up the Rockies and into Wyoming. Along the way, the wagon rode along a narrow mountainside road and nearly tipped over, causing Arizona to slide down the mountain for some time before climbing back up and driving the wagon to Flaco Hernandez's cabin.

Arizona and Iron-Sights sitting by the campfire at Chez Porter

Hernandez hired the two gunslingers to destroy some supplies that were stolen from him by the Skinner Brothers and stashed at Chez Porter. Arizona and Iron-Sights rode across Wyoming to the ranch, and Arizona tested out his shotgun for the first time, to devastating effect. The two men killed all of the outlaws, including Burney Y. Sprague, Willard H. McCard, Toy T. Canty, Alfredo D. Landers, Thomas Lightning Calf, and Jonathan Redbird, and claimed their reward before looting the ranch's medicines and canned foods and sitting by the fire, where Arizona crafted horse stimulants and Iron-Sights ate some cooked elk. They also smoked cigars and cigarettes inside the ranch, and Iron-Sights sxpressed his desire to have a ranch for himself before the two left.

Arizona and Iron-Sights riding out of Wyoming with their pelts

The two proceeded to ride farther north, and, while passing by Lake Isabella, they came across several treasure chests and the bodies of several legendary animals. They were also greeted by a man wearing animal pelts, and Arizona came to believe that the man was a shaman of some sort, as he provided the two men with plenty of wealth and animall carcasses. Arizona and Iron-Sights rode back to Strawberry with their pelts, although Iron-Sights lost one of his pelts when a man driving a wagon struck his horse and sent the large pelt flying.

Arizona and Iron-Sights arrived at the Strawberry welcome center, where they walked in on Gus Macmillan and Harriet Davenport arguing over Macmillan's habit of killing animals for taxidermy and Davenport's supposed witchcraft and obsession with animals. Macmillan introduced himself to Arizona and invited him to sell legendary animal pelts to him, and, after he left, Arizona talked with Davenport, who invited him to buy a book which gave him the locations of several legendary animals, although she assumed that he would not harm the animals. She also invited him to join her in a "voyage of discovery" of the animal world by taking her potions, which animated the taxidermied bodies of Macmillan's prizes. She then sprayed Arizona with one of her brews, sending him into a trance which led to him waking up outside of town.

Arizona hunting an alligator in Louisiana

Arizona then called for his horse, and he and Iron-Sights rode to Riggs Station to sell their legendary pelts to Gus. Arizona made $19 from his legendary Wintan bison pelt, and, with that task done, he invited Iron-Sights to join him on another adventure. The two of them proceeded to ride down to Louisiana, where Iron-Sights was excited to be able to hunt in the bayou. The two of them hunted alligators in the swamps before taking their carcasses to New Orleans, which Iron-Sights visited for the first time. The two of them sold their alligator carcasses, and Arizona then followed Iron-Sights to the Theodore Eckhart Stables, where Iron-Sights hoped to acquire lanterns to hang on his horse. However, they were unable to obtain lanterns, so Arizona suggested that they find work from Foreman.

The two men met with Foreman in an alleyway, and Foreman recruited them to kill several gamblers who had gotten into trouble with the law and thus threatened his own security. Arizona shot Reno U. Althen in the back with a shotgun as Althen loitered in a bar, and he shot the policeman Tommy H. Pearman while running to join Iron-Sights, who killed another target at the docks. Arizona also killed Alphonsus T. Bastain in front of The Majestic Tailors, and he joined Iron-Sights in storming the police station and killing several policemen and the prisoners Clive E. Darbath and Sunders H. Diven.

The two proceeded to fight their way out of the station, shooting the policemen Zaphaniah P. Jacox, Lynn W. Ralston, Phesley A. Spicknall, Marlin V. Brande, Hart M. Leadbetter, Gene C. Southwich, Bunyan T. Newkirk, Minor C. Hockersmith, Bowman P. Greenhalgh, and Barthama S. Boschutte dead. They then rode to Colorado, where Iron-Sights met Madame Nazar, and Iron-Sights agreed to one last job with Arizona.

The two friends rode to Hamish Sinclair's cabin, and Sinclair hired them to rescue Albinia H. Bickert from the Skinner Brothers at the Loft. The two men rode to South Dakota, and they killed several outlaws, including Ples S. Shrode, Myers I. Fort, Alphonse P. Boon, Amet M. Schnobble, and Frank Wingfeather, before rescuing Bickert. Iron-Sights held off the pursuers as Arizona took Bickert back to Sinclair's cabin, and he was paid $18.97 for Bickert's rescue.

The two men proceeded to ride back to Valentine, where they visited the saloon. There, Iron-Sights took out his anger about the loss of his legendary pelt on the saloon-goers, stabbing Helmer K. Satlin, Lucien P. Hutchins, Chin S. Hildreth, Lorenz T. Layman, and Cecelia H. Hatchell, among others. Iron-Sights also assaulted the gunfighter Fleming A. Colt with a knife, but Colt shot Iron-Sights as well as Arizona. This led to Arizona seeking vengeance, ultimately shooting Layman dead at a shed outside of town; he also shot the lawmen Gorge I. Merrell, Sonny K. Crosier, Alphonse T. Stalcup, Jordon E. Bass, Orlando H. Clement, and Darwin E. Mowrey before escaping and parting ways with Iron-Sights.

Later that day, Arizona resurfaced in Thieves' Landing, where he killed the Del Lobos Alvaro Casares Espinal, Julio Chavarría Ruiz, Florentino Mojica Blanco, and Purdy B. Cantrell. He then rode to MacFarlane's Ranch, where Bonnie MacFarlane hired Arizona to recover Herbert Moon's stolen wagon from the Del Lobos. Arizona shot the Del Lobos Graciano Loya Alicea, Sixto Esquivel Morales, Camilo Navarro Alfaro, Tony L. McBeth, Gideon V. Smithee, and Tandy G. Broden before bringing the wagon back to MacFarlane's ranch.

Arizona chasing the stolen wagon near Benedict Pass

He then rode over to Langton, who again hired him to kill several targets at Stillwater Creek. Arizona killed the outlaws Bartolomé Torres Quesada, Alardo Madera Ramírez, Ezequiel Barreto Burgos, Reinhold G. McIntire, Chicago M. Kelso, and Lobo B. Olin before collecting his pay and traveling to Tumbleweed to take on work from Sheriff Freeman. There, he recovered a stolen wagon from Benedict Pass and was paid for its safe return.

Arizona stealing a horse from the ranchers at Ridgewood Farm

Arizona proceeded to meet with Shaky in remote Cholla Springs, and Shaky hired him to steal a horse from Ridgewood Farm. Arizona was able to stealthily approach the ranch, hop into the corral, mount the horse, and escape without firing a shot, and he made his way to a nearby ranch where he gave the horse to Shaky's contact and was paid $5.05.

Arizona protecting Iver U. Peabody's caravan

Arizona then rode to Benedict Point, where Hector Barlow hired him to escort a wagon to Tumbleweed. Arizona escorted Iver U. Peabody and Alrah J. Morsely's caravan, shooting the Del Lobos Oleguer Pantoja Meléndez, Esteban Morales Ayala, Juan Alfaro Puente, and Millard I. Delf before arriving in Tumbleweed and being paid $7.98. Now that he had saved up over $700, Arizona decided to finally invest in a bounty hunting license, walking over to the Tumbleweed sheriff's office and paying for a license.

Bounty hunter[]

With his new license, Arizona decided to accept the contract on the horse thief Frederich Paine. Arizona went to Rathskeller Fork and hid out until Paine arrived, upon which he sprung his ambush and killed the outlaws Waverly W. Swearingen, Gustavus P. Beamer, Elon D. McDill, Less N. Micham, Prichard Q. Wench, Adi R. Koerner, Willam T. Tobias, Olivio Zayas Munguia, and Eduardo Archuleta Botello. He proceeded to lasso, hogtie, and carry off Paine, whom he delivered to the prison.

Arizona attacking Hampton McDermott's hideout

Arizona next accepted the contract on Hampton McDermott, who was wanted for impersonating a lawman to demand food and financial gain from trusting members of the public. Arizona rode to McDermott's hideout in Cholla Springs, where he shot several bandits before isolating and lassoing McDermott. He then mounted the hogtied McDermott onto his horse and brought him to the Tumbleweed jail, where he was paid for McDermott's capture.

Next, Arizona decided to step up his efforts as a bounty hunter and accepted the contract on the "Bandit Queen" Barbarella Alcazar. Arizona rode to Gaptooth Breach, where Alcazar and a large force of bandits were camping out at the abandoned mine. Arizona gunned down several outlaws, including Apolo Espino Orta, Juan Marco Montero Rangel, Borja Cabrera Tafoya, Borja Cabrera Tafoya, and Bluford C. Esters before lassoing Alcazar, hogtying her, loading her onto his horse, and taking her back to the Tumbleweed jail. There, Arizona was paid an extraordinary $110 for Alcazar's safe delivery.

Arizona escaping Cueva Seca with the recovered wagon

With no bounties available after those three, Arizona spoke with Sheriff Freeman, who informed him that Benedict Rowlands' wagon had been stolen by the Del Lobos and taken to Gaptooth Ridge. Arizona rode to Cueva Seca and killed the outlaws Eduardo Montero Casas, Landerico Domínquez Ortega, Alipio Roque Valencia, Aristóteles Moreno Juárez, Urbano Oquendo Toro, Ozias Carmona Loera, Basil Nevarez Saavedra, Sigfrido Villalpando Paredes, and Pleas R. Gibbs and brought the wagon back to Tumbleweed, where he was paid $11.12.

Arizona ambushing Augusta Burnett's convoy

Arizona then went over to the bounty board and accepted the bounty on Augusta Burnett, who had set fire to an orphanage, and was suspected to be running towards the mountains on foot. Arizona killed the outlaws who were accompanying Burnett's wagon, and he captured Burnett and brought her back to the Tumbleweed jail alive.

Arizona killing Gilda Lawrence's outlaw accomplices

When Arizona returned to Tumbleweed, he accepted a bounty contract on Gilda Lawrence, who was wanted for the kidnapping and torture of Eloise Daniels McBride, and was formerly of Van Horn, Arkansas. Arizona rode to Rathskeller Fork, where he again waited until the target arrived. He killed all of the outlaws, and he lassoed Lawrence after she cowered next to him, the only place where she could take cover from the flying bullets. However, the rival gunslinger Charles S. McGer chased Arizona out of town, so Arizona rode north of Ridgewood Farm and discovered a treasure chest containing $72.

Arizona then met up with Little Pete, and the two of them rode to Tumbleweed. There, they visited the saloon, but Pete started a fight by stabbing Doniphan Q. Merrick in the jugular. Pete also stabbed Alejandro Z. Hearkey, Hub I. Flanegan, and Donald Y. Schenklenberg, and, when the law respsonded, Arizona's proximity led to the law attempting to shoot him as well.

Arizona killing several lawmen in Tumbleweed

Arizona proceeded to take shelter in a ruined house as Arizona climbed to the roof of the saloon, and they killed Lem R. Duffey, Luther N. Ewing, Parcels C. Cokely, Truman G. Stahlin, Earl I. Maginn, Blanchard N. Englehart, Austin D. Monteith, Hartsel Z. Hooge, Wellington C. Wehn, Joel L. Marion, Mervin M. Munag, Reese Y. Laner, Marie O. Griffey, Cabal K. Jackson, Theo O. Figerd, Elick E. Pence, Byron P. Hopt, Essex T. Stavesand, Johnny C. Miles, White R. Frankforter, Lum R. Rood, Williams P. Click, Elliott B. Ashman, Commodore D. Amick, Colt M. Lyndon, Lemuel L. Ruschick, Carrell P. Siecke, Boyce E. Redding, Obediah S. Matthews, Clarance F. Charter, Eber L. Reams, Adoniram A. Plunket, Presley B. Arnell, Lloyd H. Marquett, Hilery K. Prescott, Shedrick D. McMains, Orion L. Batty, Cullen B. Clampett, Fremont D. Treeblood, Dannie F. Bale, Duke S. Wurdeman, Marcel O. Leavitt, Oscar J. Dorr, Herm Y. Walley, and Jeremiah J. Marter. He also killed the bounty hunters Gary O. Anman, Joe M. Crafton, Raleigh Z. Tullis, Wayman I. Plumb, Melton O. Kingrey, and Earl T. Lemons before they could kill Pete. Arizona accrued a $12.36 bounty, preventing him from working for Sheriff Freeman or accepting new bounty contracts; he was forced to ride to Armadillo to pay $6.18 and wipe out his bounty.

Arizona attempting to capture Aunty Owlhoot

Arizona then returned to Tumbleweed, where he accepted the bounty on the "Owlhoot Family", a gang of barbaric killers who terrorized Benedict Pass. Arizona and Pete scoured southern New Mexico for the Owlhoots, and they first captured Aunty Owlhoot after ambushing her camp. Arizona took her back to a prison wagon sent by Sheriff Freeman to receive the Owlhoots, and she criticized him for his "all business" attitude. Arizona also helped Pete kidnap Cousin Owlhoot, who was taken alive. The two then traveled to Benedict Point, where they attempted to apprehend Daddy Owlhoot, but, when Daddy Owlhoot charged at Arizona as Arizona attempted to apprehend him, Pete shot Daddy Owlhoot dead to save Arizona's life. After dropping off Daddy Owlhoot's body at the prison wagon, they tracked down Mommy Owlhoot to Solomon's Folly, where they gunned down the outlaws Brother Owlhoot and Virge J. Seward, among others. Arizona entered the bunker where Owlhoot was hiding and shot her in the leg before lassoing her and taking her back to Tumbleweed, even as she insisted that she was innocent. Arizona and Pete were each paid a large sum of $268.84 for their service.

Arizona blowing up Feliciano Corrales' wagon

Arizona then returned to Tumbleweed as Pete split with him, and he agreed to hunt down Feliciano and Agapita Corrales, who were wanted for the murder of Angela Porter, Feliciano's lover. Arizona shot the powerkeg on Feliciano's wagon, apparently killing him, but Agapita escaped, and Sheriff Freeman only gave him part of the reward.

Arizona riding to Solomon's Folly to recover the cart

Arizona then agreed to help Sheriff Freeman recover a stolen cart which the Del Lobos had taken back to Solomon's Folly. Arizona killed the outlaws Oseas Soria Jaimes, Dositeo Sandoval Loya, and Frederico Cepeda Valladares, among others, before taking the cart back to Tumbleweed and being paid $14.78 for his help. He was then hired by Shaky to steal a horse from Ridgewood Farm, and he killed the farmers Ezra Y. Willoughby, Lemuel Q. Hooper, Benuj J. Knowes, Zebulon R. Haslip, and Dayton K. Hiles before stealing a horse from their corral. He also killed the Del Lobos Bliss O. Nesbitt and Lope Alba Veliz as he delivered the horse to the Pleasance House.

Arizona torching one of the supply wagons

Arizona promptly rode to Benedict Point and accepted the bounty contract on the payroll thief and murderer Jim Larson, but, while he attempted to ambush Larson at Solomon's Folly, his horse refused to heed his call, enabling Larson to escape. Arizona then rode to Lake Don Julio, where Langton hired him to destroy a rival gang's supplies, and Arizona intercepted the two wagons and torched them with fire bottles, shooting the two drivers of the front wagon as they tried to escape.

Arizona then decided to hunt down the bounty target Jim Dunn, a thief of women's valuables. He rode to his camp in Gaptooth Ridge, and he shot all of the outlaws dead with his repeater rifle. He then cornered Dunn, who attempted to take cover behind a crate, and he lassoed him, hogtied him, and mounted him onto his horse before riding back to Tumbleweed. He placed Dunn in a jail cell before he was paid by Sheriff Freeman.

Arizona dynamiting the Del Lobos at Cueva Seca

Arizona then approached Sheriff Freeman for another job, and Freeman told him that Rowlands' wagon had been stolen again. Arizona headed to Cueva Seca, and he ambushed the Del Lobos by throwing a stick of dynamite at their campfire. He proceeded to kill the outlaws Adriano Rolón Hernández, Pompilio Velásquez Soto, Laertes Botello Arenas, Quirico Valdez Pizarro, Cristobal Montalvo Lozano, Grau Alvarez Ozuna, Fernando Olvera Valenzuela, Eliah D. Standidge, Babe T. McIntosh, and Adoniram O. Bullack during the shootout and his escape, and, upon returning the wagon to Tumbleweed, he was paid $13.72, before resting for the night.

Arizona shooting the Del Lobos at Solomon's Folly

Days later, Arizona left his Gaptooth Ridge campsite, and he met with Sheriff Freeman, who gave him a telegram asking him to recover a stolen cart from the Del Lobos at Solomon's Folly. Arizona reached Solomon's Folly at sunset, and he killed the outlaws Renau Razo Carreón, Emilio Peralta Iglesias, Marcel Escamilla Alonso, and Bartholomew F. Cotton, among others, before recovering the stolen cart from their shed and taking it back to Tumbleweed. He fought off several ambushers along the way, and, upon delivering the cart, he was paid $15.88 for his success.

Arizona then decided to accept the bounty contract on Tobin Winfield, a thief and politician who was suspected to be hiding out at Thieves' Landing. Arizona searched the outlaw camp at Thieves' Landing until Winfield surrendered himself, telling Arizona that the outlaws whom he had recruited to help him escape were supposedly planning to kill him, having already sold several of his possessions and abused his person. He offered to take Arizona to the stolen deeds which he had sequestered at a hidden location, where Arizona could recover the deeds and take him into captivity.

Arizona fighting off Winfield's pursuers

Arizona escorted Winfield as they rode to the hidden location, killing dozens of outlaws as they attempted to kill Winfield. Ultimately, they reached the banks of the Rio Grande in southern Texas, where Winfield retrieved the deeds as Arizona fought off several ambushers. Winfield then told Arizona that he was ready to turn himself in and face the music, and he asked Arizona to do him the courtesy of not tying him up. winfield and Arizona rode west for a while before the crimials attempted to ambush them again, upon which Winfield attempted to escape, betraying Arizona's trust. However, Arizona was able to lasso him from his horse, tie him up, mount him on his horse, and take him into New Mexico, shooting several more outlaws as he rode across the plains of central Texas and into the deserts of New Mexico. Arizona was ultimately successful in delivering Winfield to Sheriff Robert Lee Palmer at the Armadillo jail.

While in Armadillo, Arizona accepted the bounty on the fraudster Col Dean, who was hiding out at Rathskeller Fork. Along the way, he met the bounty hunter Little Gabriel in Armadillo, accidentally killed Seth O. Granes in a horse collision, and ultimately snuck into Rathskeller Fork. After Dean arrived at the hideout, Arizona shot the outlaws Diego Carrera Quintanilla, Renato Lerma Escobedo, Ronaldo Prado Urías, Brendano Jaime Narváez, Frederico Rendón Covarrubias, Eladio Valenzuela Pelayo, Dino Noriega Quintana, Bright X. Wilder, and Levings M. Fabele before roping Col Dean and taking him back to the Tumbleweed jail and being paid $48.

One of Arizona's pursuers being hit by a train

Arizona then took another job from Sheriff Freeman, who again hired him to recover a stolen cart from Solomon's Folly. Arizona rode to the bandit hideout, where he killed the outlaws Nicholas Tejada Márquez, Yves Vigil Bravo, Santiago Herrera Ozuna, Tulio Feliciano Solórzano, Ezequías Mercado Gutiérrez, Buenaventura Reyes Mojica, and Cyrus R. Birney in a nighttime shootout. Arizona then recovered the cart, which he drove back towards Tumbleweed. Along the way, a freight train struck one of his pursuers' horses, and Arizona shot the man as he lay on the ground. Ultimately, he was able to return the cart to Tumbleweed successfully.

Back in Tumbleweed, Arizona accepted the bounty on the poisoner July Jolie, whom he tracked down to Solomon's Folly. He managed to weave his way through the outlaws and pursue Jolie, who was attempting to flee on horseback, and he pursued her for quite some distance, ultimately shooting her horse dead. The unhorsed Jolie was roped and hogtied by Arizona before she could attempt to flee on foot, and Arizona took her to a prison wagon waiting for her. Arizona was paid $33 for Jolie's successful capture.

Next, Arizona accepted the contract on the swindler Louis James, whom he found traveling with a convoy of outlaws. Arizona shot the horses on James' wagon, forcing James to attempt to flee on foot. Arizona, unwilling to let James escape, shot him in the leg with his repeater rifle, but this inadvertently killed James. Arizona was forced to kill James' accomplices Hosey L. Longley and Johnston G. Jarnad, among others, before mounting James' corpse onto his horse and taking it back to Tumbleweed. There, a dismayed Freeman received James' body and paid Arizona what the law paid for corpses.

Arizona decided to continue his bounty hunting career by taking down the legendary African-American train robber Red Ben Clempson, whom all of the major railroad companies wanted dealt with. Arizona rode to Mercer Station to meet Clempson's disillusioned follower "Yellow Bill", who told Arizona that Clempson was on a train from Armadillo which was bound to pass Tumbleweed; however, he refused to give Arizona any more information for free, even in spite of his hatred for Clempson. After Arizona searched the area around Tumbleweed without success, he returned to Mercer Station and attempted to threaten Yellow Bill with his rifle. Yellow Bill told Arizona that he could give him Clempson's exact location for a bribe, but Arizona attempted to intimidate him by shooting his peg leg. This accidentally killed Yellow Bill, so Arizona was forced to ride along the railroad tracks until he could find the train.

Ultimately, Arizona caught up to the train near Gaptooth Breach and jumped onto it, and he shot the Red Ben Gang outlaws Ananias C. Andrews, Lavern B. Clute, Lemuel M. Mellick, Theo T. Zugg, Gus L. Kuykendall, Chauncey H. Armagost, Dolph O. Simons, Irving S. Manley, Alph K. Emory, Crispin P. Pendergast, Alvis P. Laffoon, and Gussie H. Gile on the train, sweeping each train car with his pump-action shotgun. He ultimately cornered and captured Red Ben, and he jumped off the train with him and killed the pursuers Odum G. Daharsh, Davie R. Estrus, and Abie Y. Demills before taking Red Ben to the Tumbleweed jail, upon which he was paid $277.50.

Arizona ambushing the outlaws at Cueva Seca

Since he was in Tumbleweed, Arizona decided to help Sheriff Freeman with recovering Benedict Rowlands' wagon from Cueva Seca, and he ambushed the outlaws with dynamite before engaging in a shootout with them at their campsite. Arizona shot Luvencio Lovato Jasso, Leon Lozano Zelaya, Florio Montanez Márquez, Errolán Rodrígez Collazo, Máximo Tórrez Ruvalcaba, Benet Jáquez Torres, Lazaro Méndez Pichardo, Alby B. Mitcham, Augar C. Bay, and Amsi B. Bullis, and he proceeded to recover the stolen wagon and drive it back to Tumbleweed, where he was paid $14.89.

Arizona then accepted the bounty on the murderer Ruth Coogan, who was hiding out at Two Crows. Arizona arrived at the hideout to find it populated by bandits, so he proceeded to engage in a shootout with the outlaws and gun all of them down. Coogan, who was cowering throughout the entire shootout, was easy to lasso and hogtie, and Arizona mounted her on his horse and rode to Armadillo to hand her over to Sheriff Robert Lee Palmer at the town jail. Arizona placed a tied-up Coogan in her jail cell, and he was paid $27 for her live delivery.

Arizona then opened his satchel and discovered telegrams inviting him to defend new towns from outlaw attacks. Arizona decided to travel to Colter, Wyoming to heed its call to arms, and he joined the townsfolk in fighting off the Skinner Brothers. Arizona shot Aurthur Y. Raburg, Bunk N. Hunnell, Emilio H. Rayborn, Neri Y. Thaler, Ervin P. Neuman, Asa S. O'Neil, Jefferson Z. Obert, Guss I. Belden, Tim Q. Mickel, Simion N. Bliss, Weston B. Blitzkie, Albion F. Hollingsworth, Lackey M. Schick, Thomas Grazing Calf, Eddie Spring Rabbit, Peter Hangingtree, William Crowkiller, and Stephen Yellowknife before being shot and wounded by Bryant R. Ellwood and being paid for his contributions to the town's defense.

Days later, Arizona rode to Blackwater, where he decided to accept the bounty contract for the murderer Art Crawford, who was hiding out at Downes Ranch. Arizona rode some distance to the ranch, where he found several outlaws hiding out at night. When Crawford arrived at the ranch, Arizona stealthily killed Elza B. Stein by cutting his throat, and he proceeded to make his way to Crawford and shoot all of the outlaws who congregated at the ranch, Sullivan A. Overholt among them. He also lassoed, hogtied, and rode off with Crawford, whom he delivered to the Valentine jail.

While in Valentine, Arizona accepted another bounty, "Yukon Nik", a murderous Russian trapper. Arizona rode to Fort Riggs, where Nik was holding a US Marshal, Tollie P. McEvoy, hostage. Arizona used a sniper rifle to shoot most of the outlaws (including Curtis A. Niedham and Lindley H. Mattinger) and the two dogs who guarded the ruined fort, and he then closed in to confront Nik. Nik emerged from his cabin while holding McEvoy at gunpoint, threatening to kill him. Arizona shot Nik in the leg three times, but Nik shot the Marshal as he fell to the ground. Arizona proceeded to hogtie Nik and carry him off as he rode to Strawberry, shooting any pursuers before delivering Nik to the Strawberry jail and collecting his payment.

Arizona hunting in the snowy Great Plains

Arizona then decided to ride to the Great Plains of Texas, where he decided to engage in the peaceful pursuit of hunting. He stalked and hunted a pronghorn buck, which he brought back to Blackwater to be sold for $6.50. He then visited S.M. Neely's general store, where he purchased ammunition for his guns, and he also went to the tailor to spend some of his $2,158.79 on clothing. He bought a black Barras vest for $198.75, a Tiltham hat, and a red Fulbright coat for $270, and he decided to make back his spent money by completing another bounty.

Arizona accepted the bounty on the animal abuser and vagrant Mary-Beth Rife, and he rode to the banks of the South Platte River near Wallace Station. He ambushed the outlaw camp along the riverbank before chasing Rife into the trees, lassoing her, hoftying her, and carrying her off to a prison wagon which awaited her delivery. The driver had Arizona throw Rife into the back of the wagon, and he then gave Arizona his payment of $45.90.

Arizona locating the stolen cart near Mount Hagen

Arizona then rode over to Wallace Station, where Angus hired him to search for a missing man and his cart to the east of Mount Hagen. Arizona rode north into the snowy mountains of Moffat County, and he came across the stolen cart and a gang of Skinner Brothers. Arizona shot the outlaws Oney D. Lawler, Emery R. Slocum, Erick J. Suley, Bat O. Schiert, and Derick B. Foust before recovering the cart and driving it back to Wallace Station. There, he was paid $16.18 for his success.

As Arizona rode south along the train tracks, he noticed a campfire at Diablo Ridge, so he approached the campsite and found the outlaws Alward D. Putnum, Emmitt J. Nace, Dee N. Pugge, and Jeptha Q. Bryant holding Valeria F. Given hostage. Arizona killed the Skinners and untied Given, who thanked Arizona and asked him to take her to Valentine. Arizona agreed to do so, fighting off pursuers and ultimately delivering Given to the Valentine sheriff's office safe and sound. A grateful Given gave Arizona $8.83 before walking off.

Shortly after, Arizona received word that Barbarella Alcazar had escaped from jail, so he decided to return to Gaptooth Breach to apprehend her. Arizona killed her guards Tomás Garza Madrid, Cátulo Sedillo Huerta, Rauel Sotelo Crespo, Mateos Ozuna Mercado, Zoilo Gamez Ybarra, Gaetan Alanis Montanez, Guillermo Almanza Ferrer, Hipólito Esparza Quintanilla, Baldomero Castro Hernandes, Janvier Brito Dueñas, Claro Polanco Barrientos, Misael Zepeda Sosa, Tácito Aguirre Girón, Hernando Pulido Pineda, Samuel Puente Ferrer, Milan Carranza Escobedo, Abaco Fuentes Cardona, Benedict W. Ohmart, Jones G. Dick, Brady R. Cornan, and Ebenezer R. Diggs before cornering her and capturing her with his lasso. He carried the hogtied Alcazar down the hill where she as hiding beforfe mounting her on his horse and taking her back to Tumbleweed, where he was paid $176.96 for her recapture.

Arizona riding to rescue the caravan from Larkin N. Creasey

Arizona then approached Sheriff Freeman, who hired him to protect Michael E. Grammer and Clarbourn W. Thedford's caravan as it traveled through bandit country to Fort Mercer. Along the way, he fought off the Del Lobos Prinio Duran Cardona and Adi E. Sivly, but the outlaw Larkin N. Creasey ambushed the caravan and shot the drivers. He and Arizona engaged in frequent gunfights around the two wagons just outside Fort Mercer, and Arizona was able to gradually recover the wagons and bring both of them to Fort Mercer after finally killing Creasey. Afterwards, a tired Arizona decided to rest.

Arizona attempting to bushwhack the wagon in Texas

The next day, Arizona traveled to the Great Plains of Texas, and he met with Shaky at Thieves' Landing. Shaky once again asked him to bushwhack a wagon as it drove through the Great Plains, and Arizona killed the drivers Quincy V. Grubbs and Douglass O. Ardes before stealing the wagon. However, the outlaw Jeb G. Duster wounded Arizona and stole the wagon for himself, and Arizona's horse Cherry wounded itself while attempting to chase the wagon into Colorado. Arizona, distraught that his bushwhacking was again ruined by rival outlaws, hijacked a freight train and drove it to Valentine, where he got off.

Arizona waiting for the law at the Valentine saloon

While walking through Valentine, Arizona had a tense confrontation with the rival gunslinger Jere D. Sayler in front of the saloon before bumping into Raphael Y. Pease on the street. Pease grew angry and tried to pick a fight with Arizona, who drew his gun. Pease attempted to draw, only for Arizona to draw first and shoot him. The townswoman Edna Thurrow ran to the sheriff's office and alerted the law, and Arizona got into a shootout with the law in the sheriff's office and in the saloon, shooting the lawmen Clay P. Stuber, Leroy V. Slagle, Rusley C. Retchless, Benjaman Y. Found, and Foster T. Holyfield. He then got into a prolonged gunfight with Sayler in and around the saloon before meeting with Alden at the train station and agreeing to recover a lost wagon from the nearby valley.

Arizona recovering the coach from the O'Driscolls

Arizona rode out to the valley, where he came across the outlaws guarding the missing stagecoach in a secluded area. Arizona killed Cormac Dowey, Jordan O'Daly, Dominic O'Finnegan, Stephen Dorgan, Sebastian O'Donnellan, Oscar Woulfe, Robin Gilroy, and Ciarán Barrett before recovering the stagecoach; he also shot Calum O'Dargan and a few other O'Driscolls as he drove it back to Valentine. On reaching Valentine, he was paid $15.06 for the stagecoach's safe recovery.

On returning to Valentine, Arizona got into an altercation with Dewit V. Townzell on the street, and, when Townzell got aggressive, Arizona drew his pistol. Townzell attempted to draw his own, leading to Arizona shooting him dead. Arizona was forced to flee to the saloon as the law closed in on him, and the patrons quickly lceared out, with many of the male patrons insulting him as they ran. Arizona went on to shoot the lawmen Elic M. Benjamin, Prosper F. Allberry, Carey A. Espinasse, Jacques C. Burnes, Hampton I. Brinson, and Irving T. Tingley before another lawman stormed the saloon and wounded him.

Arizona shooting the attackers at Emerald Ranch

After recovering, Arizona looked in his satchel and discovered a telegram from Emerald Ranch which sought his help in defending the town from the Skinner Brothers. He aided the local townsfolk in fighting off the outlaws, shooting Abraham Z. Severt, Jese E. Canham, Starling C. Rhodes, Obadiah G. Broaday, Finley X. Puncar, Buford X. Kelly, Adolphus O. Donley, Noble E. Quackenbush, Murry J. Joerissen, Leni M. Perigo, Dwight E. Wilkes, Bruno L. Neitherom, Dozier C. Greenlee, Alexander Z. Langdon, Hermen F. Reibolt, Mat K. Knoles, Alison O.

Arizona apprehending Alcazar for a third time

After defending Emerald Ranch, Arizona decided to join forces with Iron-Sights to go after a legendary bounty target. Barbarella Alcazar once again escaped with the help of her large army of pistoleros and outlaws, so Arizona and Iron-Sights rode to Gaptooth Breach to apprehend her. Iron-Sights held off the bulk of Barbarella's men as Arizona made his way to Barbarella, cornered her (having shot her in the chest), and lassoed and hogtied her. Arizona carried Barbarella to his horse, and he rode off with her as Iron-Sights continued to fight off the Del Lobos. Arizona succeeded in delivering her to Tumbleweed, where he and Iron-Sights were each paid $93 for her capture.

Arizona watching the chaos in Tumbleweed

As Arizona and Iron-Sights returned to Tumbleweed, they found that a gang of gunslingers was terrorizing the town, and, when one of the outlaws twice lassoed Arizona from a rooftop, Iron-Sights shot him, resulting in a shootout which forced the two outlaws to flee town. They proceeded to answer Rhodes' call to arms, killing dozens of outlaws as they attempted to overwhelm the town. After holding off several waves, the two friends parted ways.

Arizona and Iron Sights arriving at MacFarlane's Ranch

Days later, Arizona once again met up with Iron-Sights and rode to MacFarlane's Ranch to help defend the poor ranchers from hordes of heartless criminals. The two men helped the ranchers kill Walter N. Grasser, Shelby A. Gilligan, Sereno P. Van Vleck, Virgil L. Ahlven, Pleasant Z. Helvas, Chief P. Franz, Orien G. Huddart, Foy U. Sorrell, Judas Z. Finch, Cullen E. Dugger, Josiah B. Bellows, Benny Y. Burden, Levy C. Ogburne, Red K. Kuhn, Armand Q. McGinness, Reeves E. Gallentine, Kelly U. Short, Lillie Q. Steffy, Ballasar S.

Marrs, Samual G. Alford, Auther C. Lutter, Marcellus V. Landy, Orwin H. Ion, Asher B. Mellinger, and Chauncy Q. Retchless. After at least two hours of fighting, the two men were able to make it out of the ranch alive and pursue other opportunities, having expended much of their ammunition and energy on killing the attacking outlaws.

Arizona and Iron-Sights drinking in Blackwater

Arizona and Iron-Sights proceeded to ride to Blackwater, as Iron-Sights wanted to hunt down another legendary bounty; during Arizona's absence, he had become a famous bounty huner in his own right and purchased a bounty hunter's cart. The two men first stopped by the Blackwater general store, where Arizona purhcased salted beef and venison and crackers for himself and peaches, apples, and carrots for his horse. He also purchased ammunition and horse medicine to keep Cherry in good health. The two men also visited the saloon, where they drank down several bottles of beer and whiskey.

After walking onto the street, Arizona was rudely accosted by Murphy D. Mecham, who, while riding on horseback, grew impatient with Arizona as he crossed the street and told him to move his "ass". Arizona responded by staring down the rider, and he unholstered his weapon after Mecham drew his. Before Mecham could take aim and shoot Arizona, Arizona shot him in the head, killing him. As witnesses scattered and searched for the law, Arizona rode out into the countryside surrounding Blackwater to escape the law, staying beyond their reach until they gave up. After this, he rode back into Blackwater and stopped by the tailor, from whom he purchased two bounty hunter's outfits for himself, aiming to look the part.

Arizona helping Iron-Sights recapture Tobin Winfield

With both men ready for their next job, Arizona approached the bounty board and, at Iron-Sights' suggestion, decided to recapture Winfield, who had escaped from jail. They rode to Brittlebrush Trawl and succeeded in recapturing the corrupt politician, with Iron-Sights mounting Winfield on his horse and riding off to Armadillo as Arizona rode behind him and fought off their pursuers. The two men made it to Armadillo safely, and Iron-Sights carried Winfield to his jail cell as the Sheriff watched and commended them.

Arizona and Iron-Sights rescuing Emerald Ranch

The two men then decided to answer Emerald Ranch's call to arms, and they rode to Oklahoma and met up with the local ranchers, including Almon E. Barintine, Alma O. Steinmeyer, Al R. Hazelton, Anabel Emaline Gearhard, Leone Rosena Gestwite, and Bertina Tella Politte. They helped the ranchers fight off the Skinner Brothers, killing Milan Y. Hite, Elijah Z. Reiman, Ciril N. Hurless, Granvill H. Meligan, Elam S. Booher, Augusta G. Yoam, Augusta G. Yoam, Berton J. Eckhart, Claudie F. Hobden, Walker J. Gerner, Vitaliy V. Lyzlov, Michah E. Doran, Epps R. Henser, Felipe I.

With the outlaws repelled, the two gunslingers were able to leave Emerald Ranch in peace.

Arizona and Iron-Sights arriving at Hanging Dog Ranch

The next day, Arizona and Iron-Sights met up at Blackwater, where they purchased ammunition before answering Hanging Dog Ranch's call to arms. The two men defended the ranch from the Skinners, killing the outlaws Little Y. Stults, Finneus A. Renfro, Marsh K. Dana, McFarland Y. Gye, McCoy K. Staab, Saul Z. McClaflin, Willis L. Gutzmer, Melchezdick A. Ritchson, Wiley N. Slightam, Lew R. McConaughey, Sol R. Pollack, Lowell A. Bauer, Hosteen R. Hincke, Tarleton V. Cattleman, Cleave O. Hacker, Alphonso K. Furay, Gee T.

Ultimately, the Skinner Brothers called off their attacks, and the two gunslingers left in peace.

Iron-Sights and Arizona reapprehending Yukon Nik

The two bounty hunters proceeded to ride to Wallace Station, where Iron-Sights sought to find another bounty to hunt. When the two discovered that Yukon Nik had escaped from jail, Arizona decided to pursue him, and the two men rode to Fort Riggs. There, Iron-Sights let out Yukon Nik's pet bear, which mauled most of the fort's guards as Arizona used his sniper rifle to pick off the others. The two men proceeded to apprehend Yukon Nik alive, and Iron-Sights rode with Nik to Strawberry as Arizona fought off the pursuers. They were able to deliver Nik back to his prison cell, and they were amply rewarded.

Arizona walking past the bodies of dead outlaws in Valentine

Days later, Arizona decided to venture off by himself and answer Valentine's call to arms. He joined the armed townspeople in protecting the cattle town, killing the outlaws Albany M. Ragsdale, Weaver H. Vase, Adi L. Yeiger, Harvey Q. Byre, Danial U. Conden, Chauncey C. Van Horn, Stanford L. Gray, Carin B. Rooutz, Bennet R. Currier, Dow X. Redding, Dudley A. Baugh, Hansford L.

Arizona recovering Rowlands' wagon at dawn

Afterwards, Arizona returned to Tumbleweed, where he met with Sheriff Freeman; Freeman hired him to recover Benedict Rowlands' stolen wagon from Cueva Seca. Arizona once again ambushed the Del Lobos with dynamite, and he killed the outlaws Taciano Cervántez Preciado, Eliazar Sanabria Galindo, Quintilio Castillo Vallejo, Juan Alicea Godínez, Silvestre Nava Guevara, Severo Rubio Santiago, Antonio Terán Moreno, Selemías Marroquín Fonseca, Flaminio Castillo Saldivar, Frazier R. Loghry, Mant C. Vanderpool, Addison B. Mattson, Mant V. Shamp, and Mayberry F. Skates as he recovered Rowlands' cart. Arizona then returned to Tumbleweed, where he delivered the cart and was paid, and he used part of his money to buy an Evans repeater rifle for $300.

A day later, Arizona accepted Tumbleweed's bounty on Harrison Parry, whom he tracked down to Solomon's Folly. Arizona hid in a ruined hut until Parry arrived, after which he approached the barn where Parry was hiding. A guard, Quincy Z. Warn, noticed Arizona, leading to a shootout in which Arizona killed Warn, Irvine G. Delany, Hyman N. Peale, Ignatius K. Burden, and Guadalupe G. McElderry, along with a few others. Arizona then tied up Parry and rode off with him, shooting a pursuer as he rode to Tumbleweed. Arizona then rode past the lawmen Fate H. Staut and Grove B. Vought, who watched as Arizona took Parry from his horse and delivered him to his jail cell. Arizona was paid $19.50 for Parry's capture.

Arizona went on to be hired by Sheriff Freeman to recover a cart which had been stolen by the Del Lobos and taken to Solomon's Folly. Arizona killed the outlaws Cody R. Bowling, Linus N. Morford, Alhueche Ávila Cárdenas, Marino Segura Orta, Prilidiano Farías Saavedra, Andrés Ávalos Barraza, Solano Limón Garibay, and Generoso Quezada Velázquez before taking the cart and driving it back to Tumbleweed, where he was paid $15.48 for its successful return.

As darkness fell, Arizona rode across the desert, embracing the freedom of the wilderness whilst also looking to chance upon a gang hideout; as per usual, he was unable to find any bandit camps. He instead rode along the Rio Grande, and he ultimately rode into Texas, coming across several herds of deer and a few boars along the way; he also came across a black bear.

Once in Thieves' Landing, Arizona came to have an itchy trigger finger, and an altercation with Harris K. Marphew led to a massive shootout in which Arizona killed Marphew, Ted O. Hacke, Gordon G. Glock, Andres Abreu Apodaca, Tiziano Carreón Raya, Pacífico Adomo Correa, Ezio Barreto Ulloa, Segundino Montenegro Quiñónez, Iren Beltrán Urías, Ariano Amaya Valdés, Fabio Zamudio Tamayo, Junior Sarabia Casillas, Boleslao Huerta Ríos, andEligio Sisneros Madrigal. He inadvertently killed the visitor Ora S. Housel, leading to the law being alerted. Arizona killed the outlaws Romualdo Samaniego Matos, Inigo Olivo Miranda, Eddie Caballero Alvarez, Sabas Argüello Marrero, Domicio Núñez Negrete, Ramon Galindo Lira, Aron Espinosa Palacios, Azanías Ceballos Curiel, Tilden J. Reader, Emory R. Harkey, and Dannie H. Lanham and the lawmen Drew C. Gannon, Garry J. Senter, Joseph Y. Turnbow, Chesley N. Larrie, Wenzel N. Hedge, Delvin V. Shelby, Mardania T. Helton, before leaving Thieves' Landing, feeling regretful that he had to shoot lawmen in addition to the bandits he massacred.

Arizona riding into the storm with his supplies

Arizona proceeded to ride to Blackwater, where he paid off his bounty at the post office. He then took a job from Hector Barlow, moving a wagon of supplies across bandit country to Thieves' Landing. Arizona fought off a failed ambush just outside Thieves' Landing before delivering the wagon to the settlement and being paid for his successful delivery. While leaving Thieves' Landing, Arizona got into a fight with Hilliard Z. Bonds, whom he proceeded to shoot dead.

Arizona then took up MacFarlane's Ranch's call to arms, helping the armed ranchers kill the outlaws Wilford E. John, Elam K. McCue, Jolly C. Nickle, Rolland E. Bigelow, Maury A. Stephens, Lafe P.

Arizona defending MacFarlane's Ranch at dusk

Arizona met up with Iron-Sights in Valentine, and he stocked up on ammunition and had a few drinks before bringing Iron-Sights with him as he returned to MacFarlane's Ranch to hold off several more attacking outlaws. The two of them killed Graham N. Vosburgh, Anastacio I. Barkhurst, Jehu Q. Iliff, Josiah J. Kirtley, Joshua H. Fritz, Herm B. Channer, Banks J. Pinson, Amasa O. Rowlet, Newman M. Hesse, Rich F. Minker, Ellsworth Q. Low, Kirby R. Taggart, Dexter Q. Hilliard, Aloysius S. Gushee, Cisco P. Slader, Rodney O. Polton, Jingles Y. Hutsell, Rube F. Spry, Absolem U. Pekham, Alf W. Standidge, Budd I. McLaughlin, Elliot A. Fordyce, Ancil U. Caughey, Ceasar J. Sykes, Court D. Swisher, Bishop G. Turpen, Murry P. Lawsha, Hosteen E. Yerger, Alcee V. Stang, Heber C. Buechle, Pete Y. Brill, Reasoner D. Vanderbuilt, Arlington H. Leahmann, Alvin X. Rowlett, Lena T. Waite, Malachi O. Chidester, Young P. Roggy, Sid T. Casterline, Findley B. Woodman, Lindsay G. Brayton, Azariah L. Totman, Elbridge Y. Scollard, Burgess N. Durley, Graham I. Hogan, Dewey S. Wilt, Mortimer F. Steuber, and Leonce Q. Becklam.

Afterwards, Arizona and Iron-Sights briefly parted ways, with Arizona again searching for gang hideouts, this time during daytime. Arizona rode along the Rio Grande in search of bandit hideouts before reaching Martinez Lake on the California border. Once there, he accidentally wounded his horse after Cherry tripped over a rock, causing Arizona to attempt to stow away on the postman Huey A. Ayers's wagon. Ayers grew angry on turning around and drew a gun, forcing Arizona to blast him with his shotgun. Arizona proceeded to loot the wagon's lock box (obtaining hose medicine) and the other mail (finding some loose trinkets), and he stole the wagon and rode to the Rio del Lobo Rock to meet up with Iron-Sights.

Arizona rescuing Geraldo Saldivar Saldana

The two came also across the Mexican migrant worker Geraldo Saldivar Saldana, who was left alone and freezing in the desert while searching for jobs. During the ride, Saldivar lamented how he had been lied to about New Mexico's economic opportunities, as well as the region's hostile climate. On delivering Saldivar to Tumbleweed, Arizona was paid $6.69; Saldivar then bade Arizona not follow him.

Arizona capturing Ted Clayton — Arizona capturing George Clayton

At the Tumbleweed sheriff's office, Arizona and Iron-Sights accepted the double bounty on Ted and George Clayton, a pair of Irish outlaws who were wanted for committing murder during a rustling feud. Arizona and Iron-Sights tracked the Claytons down to Fort Mercer, where they killed the guards Augus L. Samson, Hamer H. Clingan, Gary J. Satchell, Diógenes Amador Luevano, and a few others before the two of them each captured a Clayton brother and rode them to Armadillo. The Sheriff paid each of them $55.41 for the capture of the brothers.

Arizona riding through the rain while hunting

Arizona and Iron-Sights then rode out of town, hoping to meet up with Little Pete. Along the way, Iron-Sights accidentally killed Delas Z. Conklin when their horses collided and Conklin fell to his death. When the trio met up with Little Pete in the desert near Tumbleweed, Little Pete killed Russel W. Robe and Rockwell V. Matheney, leading to the law searching for him. Arizona and Iron-Sights helped Little Pete fight off the law, killing the lawmen Ruben S. Houser, Merton K. Hedgin, Abraham Q. Rud, Eldridge Q. Posey, Graves B. Palmerston, Mitchell Q. Morrin, Bill H. Lore, Clide I. Beeker, Addie S. Mimms, and Orland B. Storey. They then proceeded to go hunting, bringing back hunted deer to Tumbleweed and selling their corpses.

Arizona drinking as Little Pete shoots bar patrons with a sniper rifle

After selling the corpse of a pronghorn he hunted, Arizona visited the Tumbleweed saloon. While Arizona drank, the murderous Little Pete used a sniper rifle to kill the patron Leo B. Lathram and wound Lem C. Tolleson, and Pete then exited the saloon and watched as the lawmen Alden V. Selbridge, Earlie Y. Heath, Able I. Conners, Lemuel E. Vail, Childs N. Chesebro, and Wash T. Flory tried in vain to shoot Pete, who was taking cover atop the saloon, and who killed all of the lawmen. Arizona shot the lawman Auther F. Steward dead after Steward confronted Arizona and attempted to arrest him after a tense stare-down, and Arizona proceeded to help Little Pete kill the lawmen Jeremiah Z. McAdoo, Wilmer F. Guthery, and Prince R. Bringle, helping him evade the law.

Not long after, Iron-Sights joined the two at the saloon, where they grew worried at the sight of another outlaw posse riding into town. The three outlaws took cover in the saloon, and Iron-Sights provoked a shootout with the other gang by shooting one of its members as he hitched his horse. In the ensuing shootout, Arizona, Pete, and Iron-Sights were forced to flee town, and Arizona decided that a way out of a suicidal confrontation with the other gang would be to accept a town's call to arms against menacing outlaw bands. They ultimately agreed to go to Blackwater and aid the police against an outlaw horde.

Arizona defending Blackwater on horseback

The trio proceeded to help the police kill the outlaws Miles N. McNair, Alfonso R. Cassavant, Hurbert L. McKernan, Evi W. McFry, Ciphas H. Schraeder, Sydney B. Bronn, Alois E. Ryder, Jeronimo Gutierrez Garcia, Coy E. Willson, Valentine G. Otteman, Dewitt C. Lackie, Tyler O. Barto, Gerhard J. Parsons, Humphrey Y. Ireland, Norman R. Alder, Harvy B. Sturtevan, Johnie R. Wipperd, Pat E. Mathies, Lawyer E. Rudkin, Forrest D. Hodges, Worth B. Ives, Hardin F. Cissue, Uriah Q. Collingwood, Kyle Y. Wynand, Lorenzo Ordóñez Alanis, and Rafael Sierra Benavides.

Arizona helping Pete escape the bounty hunters

After the outlaws were repelled, however, the bounty hunters Bright Q. Denesen, Emery H. McDowell, Anatole O. Hunnell, Wilfred I. Suiter, Adolf U. Stull, Swen T. Jernison, Orthoel E. Phily, Elsie W. Bixler, Carl C. Whitlow, and Gary K. Dean came to town to hunt down Little Pete. Iron-Sights and Arizona helped Pete in fighting off the bounty hunters before Pete hopped on the back of Arizona's horse; the trio then rode out into the Texas plains, where they evaded any further search efforts. The trio then parted ways for the day.

Arizona and Iron-Sights riding in the nighttime rain

The next evening, Arizona met up with Iron-Sights and decided to hunt down a bounty target. They rode to Riggs Station, where they accepted the bounty contract on Betsy Rosser, who was wanted for taking part in the murder of a lawman. The two of them rode to Monto's Rest in the nighttime rain, and they ultimately found Rosser's abandoned campsite. The two men followed her trail until Iron-Sights captured the lone Rosser as she attempted to flee; the two men proceeded to ride to Strawberry, where they delivered Rosser to the local jail and received their reward.

Arizona aiding in the defense of Blackwater

The two men then decided to answer Blackwater's call to arms, and they helped the police kill the outlaws Frances B. Cambel, Terry I. Tredway, Larnin A. Bunn, Matthias P. Hewsley, Alpha F. Kidder, Gerard T. Farrall, Shep L. Caulkins, Press C. Herrald, Francois E. Nowles, Jordon R. Plunkett, Carlie V. Batheall, Orim T. Emint, Howard C. Rowding, Friend P. Crozier, Mont H. Wolfred, Coley R. Kepford, Howel L. Turton, Ingram G. Blankenbiller, Stanislaus E. Seay, Noel B. Milligan, Junious S. Saxton, May J. Sommers, Young D. McOwen, Davis R. Glascock, Terril V. Campion, Rudy R. Welliver, Absolom S. Huskins, Orton Z. Fields, Perley N. Stucker, Ora T. Sunigley, and Cephus D. Hamold before being paid for their help.

Arizona and Iron-Sights then decided to hunt in the Great Plains for a while, spending the afternoon and evening hunting pronghorns. Iron-Sights was once able to kill a buffalo and bring its pelt back to the butcher, and Arizona also hunted a fox and brought its pelt to the Blackwater butcher as well. That evening, the two men fished from Flat Iron Lake, with Arizona catching several 11oz chain pickerels, as well as a bluegill, and a redfin pickerel, and Iron-Sights fishing for the first time.

Arizona fishing for sockeye salmon on the Colorado River

Arizona then attempted to hitch a ride on Frazier B. Freet's coach, leading to Freet attempting to shoot Arizona and Iron-Sights killing Freet. The two men left town on thte coach, with Arizona suggesting that they head north to go river fishing. The two of them crossed state lines and rode into Colorado, where they disembarked from the wagon to go fishing on the Colorado River near Painted Sky Ranch. Arizona caught several sockeye salmon while using cricket bait, and he and Iron-Sights rode into Valentine to sell their fish.

Arizona hunting a deer near the Heartlands oil field

The two gunslingers then rode into the Heartlands, where they continued to hunt pronghorns. Along the way, they chanced upon the Heartlands oil field, and Iron-Sights rode towards the refinery to investigate, with Arizona following him. Iron-Sights was forced to shoot the security guards Rockwell M. Swinford and Hudson L. Cowperthwait after they became aggressive, resulting in a shootout in which Iron-Sights killed several witnesses and Iron-Sights and Arizona killed the lawmen Chance U. Stollard, Levander X. Hollingshead, Sabin H. Laflen, Worthy P. Walthall, Holloway O. Strode, and Elston Q. Falkner before escaping to Valentine, where they sold the animals they hunted.

That night, the two men headed to Arizona's camp outside of Valentine, where they cooked some food, and Arizona crafted several tonics and medicines for his horse. Arizona also practiced his hatchet-throwing skills and threw fire bottles at trees for fun, and, the next morning, Iron-Sights murdered the passer-by Riley I. Key. He convinced Arizona to dispose of the body by blasting its limbs and head with a shotgun and then burning it with a fire bottle, having seen Arizona play with fire earlier. Iron-Sights would go on to murder Clarence K. Wisdom, Sion P. Bicknell, and Romeo L. Leese for witnessing the murders of Key and each other, and he had Arizona dispose of the murdered men's bodies through burning them or, in one case, through blowing them to pieces with dynamite.

Arizona watching Iron-Sights shoot Hillery H. Cooke

Arizona and Iron-Sights then decided to ride into town of Valentine to grab some drinks, and, while at the saloon, Iron-Sights shot Hillery H. Cooke and Virgle C. Kildow dead, itching his trigger finger and leading to the law being called in. Arizona joined the shootout by killing the lawman Bart P. Brock, after which he and Iron-Sights holed up in the saloon and killed the lawmen Dwight F. Tyer, States F. Elders, Isidore Q. Kingsley, Elam P. Stimpson, Cooper B. Tackett, Tate E. Menke, Mills Z. Meitham, Elander V. Ferrier, Art F. Getchel, Sim E. Diehl, and Denis D. Whitted. The two men were then wounded when the law stormed the saloon, and Iron-Sights decided to lay low for a while as Arizona decided to work to redeem his honor.

Arizona ambushing Carter Doolan and the other O'Driscolls

Arizona returned to the Valentine train station, where Alden hired him to recover a missing stagecoach from the O'Driscolls. Arizona rode into the nearby valley and ambushed the outlaws Carter Doolan, Arthur O'Lenaghan, Kian O'Donnell, Tadgh Kilpatrick, Rowan Queally, Jake Mainey, Charlie O'Mulally, and Robbie Skerrett, killing all of them before recovering the stagecoach and driving it back to Valentine. He was paid $10.78 for the coach's safe delivery.

Arizona then checked the bounty board at the sheriff's office, where he decided to go after the train robber Ollie Todd, who was hiding out at Larned Sod in the Heartlands. Arizona rode to the remote hideout at night and ambushed the outlaws hiding out there, including Lycurgus I. Bostock, Pliny A. Wilkenson, Carmi L. Moony, Carson L. Dowd, and Steward X. Lowder, before creating enough damage to the hideout to lure out Todd. He then chased down and roped Todd, whom he mounted on his horse and kidnapped. Arizona successfully delivered Todd to a prison wagon waiting for him on the plains, after which he was rewarded for his efforts.

Arizona attacking Tomas Rivera's hideout

Arizona then decided to hunt down the notorious kidnapper Tomas Rivera, who was hiding out at Lakay in the Louisiana bayous. Arizona braved machine-gun fire as he outflanked the outlaws in the hideout, killing several of them before locating Rivera, who attempted to flee on foot. Arizona lassoed and tied up Rivera before mounting him on his horse, riding to New Orleans with his quarry. Arizona was paid $34.87 for Rivera's live delivery to the New Orleans prison, and he rested in New Orleans after a long day of making money and taking lives.

Arizona riding to the rescue of the settlers

The next day, Arizona met up with Iron-Sights in the Heartlands, where they searched in vain for animals to hunt. However, they came across a party of settlers who had formed a wagon circle and were fighting off bandits. Arizona discovered the wagon circle from the smoke coming from its fire, and he and Iron-Sights helped the settlers Mason J. Wolfrey, Ferdinand N. McCard, and Ermina V. McVay kill the attackers. The two outlaws then decided to ride to Valentine, and, along the way, they fought off an ambush by the outlaws Lashley V. Hinthorn, Asa U. Thornton, and Hubbard B. Franey, who tried to kill them on the road to Valentine.

Arizona fighting several outlaws on the streets of Valentine

Arizona and Iron-Sights found that Valentine was under attack from scores of outlaws, so they decided to answer the town's call to arms. Taking up arms alongside the townspeople, they killed the outlaws Hope A. Lankford, Clair E. Guilford, Newton N. Cannan, Newton N. Cannan, Collie J. Dryer, Delaney M. Cutrell, Walton L. Cabler, Gay W. Tebbls, Benjamin O. Mardin, Sammie O. Heitmann, Gene D. Blankenship, Cain O. Whitmoyer, Roderick Z. Marlow, May B. Wilburne, Gill G. Newell, Josu U. Bumberry, Morgan M. Barnes, Ingram J. Bells, Levin K. Babit, Helmer A. Rossiter, Slade Q. Fowlkes, Ples U. Morse, Benuj M. Ploof, Howdy Q. Rhode, Joel E. Humbert, Foster R. Noddings, Amos O. Jester, Gilbert J. Beezley, Phineas R. Dean, Harve C. Cool, Reid B. Perkins, Augusta J. Maze, Hollie L. Larker, Tagg S. Sweem, Tommy P. Quinn, Pleas A. Clinger, August V. Creek, and Ezechiele Baeza Feliciano and stopped the outlaws' attack on the town.

A day later, Arizona decided to return to bounty hunting. Riding to Benedict Point, he accepted a bounty on the self-professed prophet and murderer Manolo Tellez, whom he tracked down to a small camp near Plainview in Luna County. Finding the campsite abandoned, he followed his trail all night long until he found him hiding in the brush, upon which he lassoed him, mounted him on his horse, and rode him to a nearby prison wagon to be brought to justice; he was then paid $34.87 for Tellez's capture.

Arizona intercepting Sidney Metcalf's train

Arizona then rode to Tumbleweed, where he purchased a Mauser pistol for $600, a Springfield rifle for $156, a repeating shotgun for $434, and a double bandolier fro $358.50, leaving him with $717.09. He then accepted the bounty on the card game robber Sidney Metcalf, whom he tracked down to a train running through Gaptooth Ridge. Arizona boarded the train, and, braving machine-gun fire, he killed the outlaws Terence G. Egan, Otto N. Washburn, Nathan V. Rose, and Johnston L. Townzell before lassoing Metcalf and hogtying him. Arizona attempted to jump off the train with Metcalf, but Metcalf was struck and killed by the train, and Arizona was forced to bring his dead body back to Tumbleweed. There, he was paid a mere $6.56 for the bounty.

Arizona shooting his pursuers with a Mauser pistol

Arizona then decided to help Sheriff Freeman recover a stolen wagon from Cueva Seca, and he headed to the bandit hideout and killed the Del Lobos Anibal Peres Zamudio, Apolonio Lozada Benítez, Tibalt Pulido Lira, Leuco Rivas Terán, Anquises Morales Luna, Getulio Colón Comejo, Lee Romero Baeza, and Lotario Meza Rodarte. He then recovered the wagon, and, during his escape, he used his Mauser pistol for the first time, shooting Gregorio Bonilla Cisneros and Nicodemo Llarnas Atencio, along with a few other outlaw ambushers. On returning the wagon to Tumbleweed, Arizona was paid $17.53.

Arizona attacking Sam Gardener's hideout

Arizona proceeded to purchase a reinforced lasso from the Tumbleweed gunsmith for $350, and he accepted the bounty on Sam Gardener, a murderer of men and animals. Arizona rode into the Arizona desert and located Gardener's campsite near Round Rock, where he ambushed the outlaws and killed Marshal B. Truett, Tharington X. Warfield, Obe J. Hindley, Burnie I. Pedley, and Ellery I. Hamel before lassoing the escaping Gardener and taking him to the Tumbleweed jail for his reward.

Arizona tailing Jaime Castillo to Fort Mercer

Arizona then rode to Benedict Point, where he accepted the bounty on Jaime Castillo, a wanted murderer. Arizona found that Castillo was on the move, and he managed to catch up with Castillo as the latter reached his hideout at Fort Mercer in New Mexico. Arizona watched as Castillo entered the fort before proceeding to take cover behind a rock and pick off the outlaws Diedrick F. Colton, Bliss C. Patton, and Wiliam V. Bloomer at the gate. Arizona proceeded to charge in and take out the outlaws Gust D. Angel, Lyman Z. Linbocker, and several others. He found Castillo cowering beneath a staircase in a secluded corner of the fort, and he subdued and lassoed him before shooting the outlaw Chatfield W. Hart and a few other men as he carried Castillo out of the fort.

Arizona fighting off Jaime Castillo's rescuers

As he left the fort with Castillo, Arizona was beset by the outlaws Ida Z. McCrellis, Sampson Z. Dunell, Andy R. Trotter, Cliff K. Bunting, and Malachi N. Kidder, as his horse had yet to catch up with him, and the mounted outlaws were quick to catch up. Arizona shot several outlaws dead, but he was frequently wounded, giving Castillo several opportunities to escape before Arizona pursued and lassoed him. Arizona grew concerned about his timing, as he would not be given payment for the bounty if he did not deliver Castillo before a certain time. With the clock running fast, Arizona quickly rode into Tumbleweed, but his horse collided with that of Robertson K. Dewise, causing Arizona, Castillo, and Dewise to fall from their horses. Arizona picked up Castillo and attempted to run to the sheriff's office, but the injured Dewise angrily shot at Arizona, striking Castillo in the wrist and causing him to bleed to death and fall from Arizona's shoulder. Arizona was forced to shoot Dewise dead, but he ran out of time to deliver Castillo, and he was paid nothing, not even the token payment for Castillo's body. Arizona angrily shot the dead Dewise's head several times with his revolver until nothing was left, and he also shot Castillo's body in anger.

Arizona's anger exploded when the deputy Alonzo Y. Hartley rudely berated him for walking too close to him. Arizona stared down the lamwman and drew his revolver after Hartley continued to abuse him, leading to Hartley drawing his own gun. Arizona drew first and shot Hartley first in the chest, and then in the forehead, killing him. Marshal Eldred D. Steeley then rode into town in search of Arizona, but Arizona ambushed him behind the gunsmith, shooting him dead with a shotgun.

Arizona leaving Algie A. Ritchardson for dead

Arizona then rode out of town to evade the law, heading to Benedict Point. There, Larry O. Thomlinson rudely greeted him, and Arizona - tired of common folk picking fights with him - pulled out his twin revolvers and shot Thomlinson dead at Benedict Station. Algie A. Ritchardson attempted to run off and report Arizona to the law, but Arizona shot Ritchardson in the leg, lassoed and hogtied him, and left him on the railroad track. Shortly after, the evening train stopped at the station, and Ritchardson was able to free himself from Arizona's lasso. However, Arizona lassoed him again and pulled him into the path of the train as it continued down the track, tearing Ritchardson to pieces and satisfying Arizona's desire for vengeance.

Arizona riding with a captive Jeremiah Rowland

Arizona then accepted the posted bounty on the murderer Jeremiah Rowland, tracking him down to Plainview. He found Rowland sitting by a rock on the banks of the Rio Grande, and he overheard Rowland lamenting how he had no humans or animals to talk to. He proceeded to lasso and hogtie the lone outlaw, mount him on his horse, ride him through the desert, and take him to the prison wagon waiting nearby. Arizona was paid $24.37 for Rowland's live delivery, and he proceeded to lay low for a day, hoping to evade the long arm of the law and de-stress from the deaths of two of his bounties.

Two days later, Arizona once again saddled up, accepting the bounty on the "Straight Shot King" Lee King from Tumbleweed. Arizona followed King to Fort Mercer, where he single-handedly stormed the fort, shooting the outlaws Calhoun X. Roush, Mannie G. McGrath, Thornton X. Keeton, Walter Z. Clara, Abbott W. Taggart, Purnell S. Chassell, and Alfonso V. Joice before apprehending King with his lasso. Arizona then shot Abdon A. Hinch and several other outlaws before delivering King to the Armadillo jail, after which he was paid $34.42.

Arizona finding Bert Hughes at the Armadillo train station

Now that he was in Armadillo, Arizona agreed to go after Bert Hughes, who had killed two lawmen and injured five. Coincidentally, Hughes was last seen in Armadillo, and Arizona rode to the outskirts of town to search for clues as to his location. He deduced that Hughes had left his previous hiding spot by a wagon, and he rode to the train station as a train approached, finding Hughes sleeping in front of the station. Arizona proceeded to wake and lasso the man before picking him up and walking down the main street to the jail, where he delivered Hughes for a reward of $9.

Arizona next accepted the bounty contact on Morris Brown, a wanted murderer, and he rode out of Armadillo and found that Brown and his gang were riding on a Central Union Railroad train barrelling through the desert. Arizona caught up to the train and shot the conductor before ambushing and killing the outlaws Olen S. McCommon, Marthean U. Sommers, Rufus M. Rousan, Rupert X. Warford, and Abe G. Blackburn. Arizona then ran onto the train, lassoed and hogtied Brown, mounted him on the back of his horse, and shot the outlaws Percival B. Ashbrook and Augustine B. Crittenden before delivering Brown to the Tumbleweed jail.

Arizona escorting Raswell C. Arkey's convoy

Arizona proceeded to accept a job from Sheriff Freeman, escorting Raswell C. Arkey and Harlan T. Hecker from Tumbleweed to Fort Mercer. Along the way, he shot the Del Lobo ambushers Lorenzo Zayas Barajas, Cicerón Madera Reyna, Leon Saavedra Malave, Pablo Moreno Tijerina, Leonardo Carreón Pulido, Lafayette L. Wessneck, and Isadore E. Yerby as they attempted to bushwhack the wagon in the wilderness. After arriving at Fort Mercer at sunset, Arizona was paid $12.02 for the wagons' successful delivery.

Arizona reading a call to arms telegram in Cochinay

Arizona went on to explore more of Texas, starting out with Mescalero and following it up with Montana Ford, Stillwater Creek, Mason's Bridge, Dixon Crossing, Tall Trees, Tanner's Reach, Nekoti Rock, and Cochinay. Along the way, he killed four wolves that attempted to ambush him. He then rode into the mountains of Tall Trees, riding until he ran out of road; he survived a black bear attack during his travels. While in Cochinay, Arizona checked his satchel and discovered that Fort Mercer was coming under attack from outlaws.

Arizona looking at the flaming cart of two dead outlaws

Arizona then travelled to Fort Mercer, where he joined forces with the Del Lobo gunslingers and killed the attacking outlaws Ervin Y. Harper, Smith C. Conklin, Thurston G. Shobe, Lealdas L. Ruppert, Julien J. Griffing, Grady T. Gammill, Clarance L. Hellum, Took F. Sheldon, Bruce W. Graff, Rufus D. Cimmen, Olen K. Mays, Williams D. Hornady, Gaines R. Handlan, Heath L. Hinson, Guss H. Welles, Neal W. Beane, Volney G. Haslip, Seaborn R. Nall, Virgil S. Soloman, Morton O. Duell, Norman J. Ridley, Lavern Z. Jeraff, Cain W. Wisley, Ishmael C. Hibbard, Jacques H. Smock, Michel T. Whiten, Malcom Z. McGuire, Gray I. Curtiss, Phineas W. Ditmer, Eph Z. Fordice, Harper F. McBenson, Job U. Gosney, Rollin Y. Pariet, Porter A. Bysong, Charly U. Standard, Burdette I. Libert, Babe M. Crall, Euphrates K. Chenoworth, and Hugo A. Irwin before departing to seek opportunity elsewhere.

Arizona torching a supply wagon near Lake Don Julio

Arizona proceeded to ride to Lake Don Julio, where James Langton hired him to torch two wagons carrying supplies for his rivals, who refused to give him a cut of their business. Arizona torched one in Arizona with the use of a fire bottle, and he then rode across state lines and intercepted the other wagon near Lake Don Julio. Arizona threw a fire bottle at the second wagon and shot its driver Clarbourn A. Kullman before shooting its fleeing shotgun meessenger Rusley R. Grafton in the back.

Arizona killing Montez's guards at Hanging Dog Ranch

Arizona then rode into the town of Armadillo, where he purchased a prestigious bounty license and decided to hunt down Carmela Montez, a lieutenant of the Del Lobo Gang. Arizona found that Montez was hiding out at Hanging Dog Ranch in Colorado, so he infiltrated the ranch through the forest. He killed the guard Adelino Campos Anguiano with a knife, attempting to be stealthy, but he was soon detected and engaged in a shootout with the Del Lobos Fantino Vigil Curiel, Ramiro Fajardo Quintana, Reinardo Calderón Velásquez, Bertoldo Zúñiga Lozano, Falco Estrada Garay, Próspero Crespo Linares, Prisco Barrios Enríquez, Agapito Zelaya Rangel, Tolomeo Velásquez Soliz, Ives Mares Ochoa, Ida T. Millinger, and Marcellus S. Calkins.

Arizona escaping with a captive Carmela Montez

Arizona killed all of Montez's guards before shooting several more Del Lobos who rode in to rescue her, while Montez entered an armored wagon and opened fire on Arizona with a machine-gun. Arizona failed to force her to leave the tank-like wagon with dynamite, so he instead hijacked it, throwing her out. He proceeded to chase her on foot as she fled into the forest, lassoing and capturing her, even as she protested against him putting his hands on her. He proceeded to ride to Strawberry, killing the outlaws Lovett B. Summerland and Domicio Arévalo Galindo before delivering Montez to the jail and being paid $125 for her delivery.

Arizona escorting Bennie B. Baldock's convoy to Blackwater

Arizona then rode to Riggs Station, where Hector Barlow hired him to escort a wagon train to Blackwater. Arizona rode with Bennie B. Baldock and Orland O. Mathiew as they drove from Colorado to Texas, facing the first ambushes in the Great Plains. Arizona helped to shoot most of the ambushers, but Mathiew fell behind and was shot dead by some of the bushwhackers; Arizona oversaw Baldock's safe arrival in Blackwater before returning to Mathiew's wagon to drive it to Blackwater himself. He was paid $18.57 for the wagon's safe delivery.

The next morning, as Arizona walked down the streets of Blackwater, he walked into the path of Hardie G. Bliss' horse, leading to Bliss drawing a gun and insulting Arizona. Arizona responded by standing still and unholstering his pistol, and Bliss angrily responded by asking Arizona if he wanted to die. Arizona proceeded to shoot Bliss in the head, publicly killing him. Arizona fled into the Great Plains, where he proceeded to go hunting, bringing his hunted deer back into Blackwater for sale after the search efforts subsided.

Hilda Heredia Reyes attempting to ambush Arizona

While riding in the Plains, Arizona was called over by the Mexican woman Hilda Heredia Reyes, who told him that her horse had bucked her, and that she was afraid she had broken a bone. Arizona approached her to help, only for her to draw a gun and attempt to ambush him. Arizona shot Heredia dead, but he was then forced to kill the outlaws Sandusky L. Conkling, Earl R. McGuown, Jones R. Prickett, Sylvanous Q. Arbuthnot, Waymon U. Pratt, Alton V. Loudermilk, Jed W. Tangney, Antonio Guillén Frías, and Apolonio Calderón Carrero, thwarting the ambush.

Afterwards, Arizona returned to Blackwater, where he grabbed a few drinks that night. The next morning, he got into another street altercation, once again with a feisty and quick-to-draw cowboy, Coy H. Cary. Cary insulted Arizona by brandishing a gun at him, so Arizona shot him in the head on the street. This forced Arizona to once again flee town before the law could find him and place a bounty on him, riding to the Southwest.

Arizona shooting Bert Hughes's accomplices

Arizona returned to his usual haunt of Tumbleweed, where he discovered that Bert Hughes had escaped from jail. Arizona rode to Solomon's Folly to reapprehend the wanted criminal, and, while taking cover in a ruined house, he saw Hughes hitch his horse at the post next to the window, within breathing range of him. Hughes did not notice Arizona, so Arizona ran up behind him, tackled him, and lassoed him before shooting his accomplices Eldon J. Kimberly, Woodson P. Redding, Wyatt W. Shiley, Martin B. Vosburgh, Damon K. Vesey, and Bascom C. Bonesteel. Arizona then delivered Hughes to the Tumbleweed jail, but, that night, he witnessed two outlaws kill the lawmen Dan G. Fink, Eden F. Donely, Cora Z. Libert, Bart V. Thayer, Elonzo J. Everett, Amsi Y. Smedley, and Amsi Y. Smedley, while the lawmen Lonie A. Meagel, Corwin N. Roberds, Irwin T. Shones, Mell S. Cutts, Near W. Dooley, and Archibald F. McGrath searched for them. Arizona decided to rest from the chaos, having advanced his bounty hunting career.

Arizona using a machine-gun to kill the Raiders at Fort Brennand

Days later, Arizona and Iron-Sights met up in Blackwater, where they found that the serial nighttime murderer Cecil C. Tucker had taken up refuge with the Louisiana Raiders at Fort Brennand. The two bounty hunters rode to Fort Brennand at night, where they stormed the fort, killing Lucien H. Chensy, Harlie S. Fritter, Alexander E. Lovell, Eldon Q. Kenison, Berry K. Christopher, Newton E. Atkinson, Charley A. Allbery, Nathaniel Q. Cosner, Park J. Hulce, Herm S. Strain, Lorenzo C. Cornne, and Gains S. Crow. Arizona used a machine-gun to kill several of the Raiders, and the explosion of several dynamite kegs led to the fort catching fire.

Arizona escaping with Cecil C. Tucker's body

Just then, Arizona and Iron-Sights found that Tucker was nearby, attempting to escape on his wagon. Tucker hurled several Molotov cocktails at the two men, but he accidentally killed himself by torching himself and his guards with a Molotov. Arizona picked up Tucker's body, mounted it on his horse, andd began the ride to Annesburg, Arkansas as Iron-Sights stayed behind to hold off the pursuers, and Arizona avoided the main roads and the Raiders ambushes that came with them. Ultimately, Arizona delivered the body to Annesburg sheriff Lucien Jones, who paid each of the bounty hunters $45.18.

The disappointed bounty hunters decided to ride back west, so they took a job escorting Hamer S. Pryer's wagon convoy from Annesburg to O'Creagh's Run in South Dakota. The two men fought off several ambushes from the Murfree Brood gang, killing all of the outlaws as they emerged from the woods. The wagon convoy ultimately crossed into South Dakota, and the gunslingers were paid $16.19 upon the wagon's arrival at Hamish Sinclair's cabin. The two men then decided to help Sinclair recover a wagon which had been ambushed by outlaws after leaving Fort Wallace, and Iron-Sights reached the wagon before Arizona did, as his war horse was much faster than Arizona's Cherry. Arizona then followed Iron-Sights to Firwood Rise, where they delivered the wagon for payment.

The two gunfighters then decided to ride to the cattle town of Valentine along their way west, meeting the outlaw Jay Park along the way. The two men then went inside the saloon to have some drinks, where Park would stab both of them from behind as they ate almonds and drank their alcohol. Park fled before the two men could avenge their injuries, but the saloon visitor Thurlow A. Kronkright attempted to shoot Iron-Sights for an unknown reason, leading to Arizona shooting the man dead. After the other saloon patrons fled and vacated the barroom, Iron-Sights repeatedly stomped on Kronkright's body out of anger.

Arizona approaching the Heartland Oil Fields at night

That evening, Arizona and Iron-Sights walked to the Boy's camp, where the Boy hired them to punish the Cornwall Company for not paying him protection money. The two men rode to the Cornwall camp, where Iron-Sights was eager to avenge the earlier attack on him by the refinery's guards. The two men killed the guards Alsey H. Schell, Banks L. Carlisle, Parker L. Lain, Gorrates I. Honess, Ollie H. Holloran, Wilbur A. Shacleford, Pinkney K. Cross, and Aloysius B. Sexton and destroyed the refinery's supplies, for which they were paid $6.69.

Arizona and Iron-Sights at Quaker's Cove

The two men then rode southwest through the Heartlands and to Blackwater, Texas, where they decided to go hunting in the Great Plains. Along the way, Iron-Sights discovered a gang hideout at Quaker's Cove, exciting Arizona, who had not found a gang hideout in a long time. The two men ambushed the outlaws who were hiding out there, killing Eugene D. Shaylor, Jere A. McDerby, Croin R. Bomgarth, Dempsy D. Bush, Amsi Y. Pate, Pete M. Dyer, Leyman R. Brinley, and Malachi F. Peale; Arizona found a treasure map on one of the outlaws' bodies. He then found Iron-Sights confronting the tied-up gang leader Hollis Z. Hendee, who begged to be set free. However, Iron-Sights chose to lasso him again, denying him mercy; Arizona then shot Hendee in the head, clearing the hideout.

Arizona riding a train through Hennigan's Stead

Arizona and Iron-Sights then decided to ride farther west, with Iron-Sights embarking on his journey on horseback, and Arizona hitching a ride on a freight train as it traveled from Hennigan's Stead to Gaptooth Ridge. Because the train stopped at several points, and because Iron-Sights was riding a fast war horse, he reached Tumbleweed before Arizona, who took the scenic route as the mountainside railroad provided great views of the Southwest.

Upon arriving in Tumbleweed, the two men immediately ran into trouble when the lawman Manson K. Pillsbury profiled Iron-Sights and drew a gun on him. Arizona came to his friend's rescue, shooting Pillsbury in the head in public. This led to a shootout with the law, and the two outlaws killed the local lawmen Glover A. De Motte, Elliot M. Frymire, Lucius I. Bacorn, and Chauncey B. Stocks and the Marshals Fielding I. Milliken, Nils T. Hermen, Beecher Y. Gillian, Oliver F. Mullery, Clare Z. Witham, Drewry I. Leahmann, Griffey J. Jolley, Burns C. Cload, Hyrum A. Fradenburg, Hubert O. Almy, Hansford D. Grossman, Bennard E. Magher, Lewis B. Dier, Jobe M. Loving, Soloman G. Darron, Authur D. Nownss, Alexis B. Belden, and Craig E. Warnock. Iron-Sights, concerned that the shooting of several peace officers would affect his reputation, convinced Arizona to join him in taking up a call to arms against the large bandit gangs of the West, so Arizona decided to answer Fort Mercer's call.

The two friend friends arrived just in time to aid the local gunslingers in holding off several attacks from the miscreants of the Southwest. The gunslingers killed the outlaws Junior O. McCutchew, Augar S. Bliven, Lindsay V. Rense, Finley T. Talbitzer, Joshiah C. Thormony, Nicolas R. Meatze, Douglas L. Zimmerer, Madison B. Dunahue, Larry D. Thatcher, Arthur L. David, Vernon B. Sapp, Merritt T. McMaster, Jose Maria Solorzano, Miles K. Luddington, Merton E. Wilch, Rich R. Nightengale, Raleigh T. Hortman, Will W. Pafford, Shannon X. Devine, York M. Horsman, Virge L. Reede, Alph R. Harker, Ruben Y. Sparkman, Hosteen H. McMichael, Rubin R. Wesserling, Merl T. Cyrus, Pierre T. Poor, Hillary M. Myres, Darwin R. Sadler, Leopoldt C. Allis, Silvester F. Rafferty, Dalton A. Lawless, Hayward Y. Liskey, Freeman A. Hulsey, Rolandus F. Loveless, Edmund W. Nicklous, Howard T. Farley, Albin D. Wilkes, Alger G. Fitzmorris, Ceylon V. Lunceford, Edgar H. Hubbell, Cleave G. Proffilt, Angelo R. Jaeger, Volney R. Thorngate, Felton W. William, Ewin T. Alcoon, Hans W. Gibson, Flavius G. Larndson, Cooper C. Garman, Hardie S. Hyers, Augustin T. Prehm, Harmon U. Corby, Jessie W. Suiter, Roe T. Lother, Leopold G. Amman, Clarke W. Lunn, Henderson L. Loftin, Talmadge K. Peters, Obed G. Mecham, Jeptha C. Pleasants, Smith D. Day, and Wheeler G. Waddell, holding off six waves by covering each of the two major gates of the fort. Ultimately, the fort was overwhelmed, but the two gunslingers were paid well for their help.

Arizona and Iron-Sights preparing to help the citizens of Valentine

Several days later, Arizona and Iron-Sights met up in Valentine, where they answered the town's call to arms against hordes of outlaws who descended upon the cattle town. They killed the outlaws Elon Z. Wickwire, Shelby W. Herison, Tarleton R. Wallton, Ford L. Klingaman, Daniel Z. Amman, Maury O. Wright, Risingt J. Neagle, Oakley L. Dixon, Rasmus I. Bixby, Park B. Mattinger, Delbert D. Peak, Alden K. Shires, Solon H. Novy, Augus H. Griffing, Anton M. Riber, Scott D. Lauderdale, Pleas E. Shiede, Ernst R. McElhoes, Lealdas L. Chenault, Nicholas I. Pelen, Osmyn F. Larner, King V. Shephard, Albertus C. Woodworth, Jay L. Babb, and Calhoun J. Farnham before the attacks subsided.

Iron-Sights lying on the ground, wounded

The two men proceeded to take a break, with Arizona visiting the gunsmith to buy more ammunition. Meanwhile, Iron-Sights got into an altercation with Junior Y. Aldridge and shot him, with Arizona watching Junior bleed profusely out of his neck before dying. Iron-Sights also tied up Armistead Q. Cratly before he could report the crime to the sheriff's office, only to shoot him and some other fleeing witnesses. This forced him to engage in a shootout with the law, killing Marshal Edson Z. Willis and the lawman Sonny V. Chatfield before Ronald C. Eukle blasted him with a shotgun, wounding him and ending his rampage. Arizona then walked past the lawman Isaac D. Gail, who warned him to be careful.

Arizona in a gunfight with Valentine's attackers

Arizona and Iron-Sights then decided to help defend Valentine against several more waves of attackers, killing the outlaws Hernando Olivares, Garnet X. Staab, Norris O. Roth, Gilmore L. Cady, Chris I. Floyd, Ebbie R. Plunket, Hervey X. Bender, Roswell Z. Whitford, Wite M. Robston, Julio E. Fix, Eli P. Dedermann, Bush F. Lonnegan, Cordell V. Keneston, Vince O. Underwood, Arden Z. Manz, Buck Z. Schuyler, Orthoel F. Chaney, Burrell L. Stonecypher, Garland W. Laffer, Julias Z. Link, Levi N. Haupel, Albin I. Mosbey, Laurel S. Wescott, Spenser B. Phettyplace, Olin H. Stringer, Addie R. Hadley, Ammon L. Stockman, Alexandria F. Prowant, Parker M. O'Rourke, Leander H. Scarbrough, Gabriel N. Dungan, Courtney P. Emmerson, Bernhard D. Dubbs, Pink N. Horsman, Emmerson B. Koonty, Justice C. Burgur, Donald N. Pardoe, Benny F. Haptenstall, Ethan V. Schoen, Dominique F. Just, James O. Dick, Cap O. McKennie, Maxie D. Matturn, Eliza V. Esterville, Brad F. McGee, Ambers S. Ridgley, Preston I. Robbins, Corbin W. Ell, Stanley E. Haseloh, Thompson C. Bordon, Eldred C. Grant, Brigham G. Sheedy, Lafayette M. Bon, Lars C. Martie, and Dillon M. Burrow.

Arizona and Iron-Sights riding to meet Marshal Davies

After defending Valentine, Iron-Sights proposed that Arizona join him in riding to meet Marshal Davies to hunt down Alfredo Montez. The two men rode across the Heartlands, following the railroad tracks until Iron-Sights realized that following the train to New Orleans would take more time than riding due east for Arkansas, rode through the woodlands of Arkansas, and arrived at a shack outside of Annesburg where Marshal Davies was waiting to meet them.

Marshal Davies told the two gunmen that his jurisdiction ended at the town limits of Van Horn, but that Montez was there, and that the two gunslingers would be doing a highly illegal and highly moral act by killing all of Montez's men and capturing Montez alive. Davies introduced the two men to Josie Dawson, a saloon keeper who insisted that she had seen Montez and his men take over her saloon. He told the two men to check out both Montez's supposed camp in the woods and the saloon, giving them a mandate to kill all of Montez's men there and take Montez alive; he also told them that their associate Mr. Horley was awaiting them near Armadillo when they were done helping with the apprehension of Montez. The two gunslingers then set out to ambush the camp near Hollis, Perry County (northeast of the Elysian Pool), where they killed Montez's lieutenant Millan Bonilla Tapia and his accomplices Aristides Gómez Sierra, Balthasar Menchaca Molina, Alvaro Ceja Limón, Jorge Ceja Ordóñez, Elio Hernandes Cazares, Lafayette J. Meserve, Leyman G. Tuck, and Clint J. Edmiston, but failed to locate Montez.

The two bounty hunters then made their way to Van Horn, the lawless Mississippi River town where Montez had been hiding out. The two gunmen decided to go in, guns blazing, and they shot Delbert Z. Snigley, Myer V. McEvoy, Prince G. Stearns, Brad I. Kleepner, Calígula Jáquez Carrera, Enon Medina Valdez, and Montez's other lieutenant Julio Soto Razo. Soto shot Arizona in the legs as he made a run for it, temporarily crippling Arizona and leaving him laying in the mud. However, Iron-Sights shot his way to Arizona and healed him, and Iron-Sights shot Soto in the back before Soto could escape on a horse.

Arizona, Iron-Sights, and Davies catching up to Montez

Arizona and Iron-Sights then returned to Davies, who revealed that Montez had been located riding with a convoy in the countryside; he reminded them to kill Montez's men and leave Montez alive, as the warrant for his arrest required one man to hang in Tumbleweed, and Davies intended to have Montez hanged for his crimes. The trio rode through the night and located Montez and his gang as they crossed the Arkansas River, and Iron-Sights, riding his tougher and faster war horse, rode ahead of Arizona and his slower horse. The two men killed several Del Lobo riders and shot down several more outlaws guarding several wagons, before the two men killed the drivers of Montez's wagon. Arizona caught up to Montez as he attempted to flee on foot, lassoing him in a ditch underneath a bridge and putting the tied-up Montez on his horse. Montez insulted the two men and Marshal Davies, and Arizona and Iron-Sights delivered Montez to the Marshal at Emerald Ranch. There, Montez insulted Davies, threatening to take out his other eye, and promising $1,000 to the man who freed him. However, Montez said that the two men had something which could not be bought: honor and dignity, and he said that they would all watch him hang as a crowd would cheer at his demise.

Arizona escorting a caravan to Compson's Stead

After seeing off Montez, Arizona and Iron-Sights rode to Emerald Ranch, where Arizona suggested that they take a job from Angus, as he believed that the job might entail escorting a wagon caravan to the west. Arizona and Iron-Sights were hired to escort Ken F. Bullis' caravan from Emerald Ranch to Compson's Stead, and they fought off a single ambush before reaching the farm shortly after, and being paid $20.34 each for their help.

Arizona gunning down Gene Finley's bodyguards

Since the two men were now in Louisiana, they rode to Rhodes, where they decided to hunt down the bounty target Gene Finley, who had used his inheritance to hire a band of mercenaries and Rifle Club friends, basing themselves from the Shady Belle plantation. The two men rode to the plantation, killed the guards at the front gate, and turned two of the mansion's machine-guns against the outlaws protecting Finley, massacring them. The bounty hunters gunned down Zacariah H. Whitney, Maladia N. Norman, Perry M. Lincoln, Shirley A. Dickle, Alfred U. Waits, and Manson U. Vascay, along with several other mercenaries. Iron-Sights lassoed and captured Finley as Arizona held off any pursuers, and, when the two men delivered Finley to the Rhodes sheriff's office, Sheriff Leigh Gray paid each of them $64.35.

Arizona and Iron-Sights witnessing the siege at the Rhodes Parlour House

While in Rhodes, the two men witnessed an outlaw gang hole up at the Rhodes Parlour House, where they had killed the lawmen Newson F. Dressler, Everette C. Monahan, and Rafael A. Peek and the townspeople Edmon U. Haggard, Hank G. McVey, Alphonse N. Hare, and Edith M. Worley, and were under siege by the lawmen Church G. Parris, Milas Z. Batterman, Benny Y. Whittemore, Romeo C. Pritechett, Tilden G. Blackwell, Holliway M. McAtee, Seymour E. Spaids, and Johnston N. Dimmell. While the gang leader Deck Bier gunned down several lawmen, Iron-Sights looted several bodies, leading to the law coming after him and Arizona, who was seen as his accomplice. Arizona and Iron-Sights proceeded to gun down the lawmen Almer Z. Reppy, Shadrack D. Fuffer, Chief E. O'Donnell, Arvin P. Hutsell, Milton X. Goulding, Wat L. Davidson, Burdette M. Beldin, Elza O. Bumel, Ezra X. Townzen, Esam R. Patnam, and Baxter G. Sain before Arizona shot and wounded the aggressive Bier. Arizona and Iron-Sights proceeded to hop aboard a freight train headed out of town, only for Bier and his gang to give chase. Arizona shot Bier dead with a shotgun when Bier hopped onto the train, and Arizona and Iron-Sights were soon both forced to flee the train as Bier's lieutenant Fulton T. Slader hunted them down. Arizona and Iron-Sights were both wounded by Slader while running through the bayou outside of New Orleans, and they ultimately decided to parley with Slader and flee Louisiana, riding west to meet up with Horley.

Arizona and Iron-Sights riding through Scarlett Meadows

Along the way, the two men came across the interracial couple Gorden O. Becket and Elmira Parkins defending their campsite against attacking Louisiana Raiders. Arizona and Iron-Sights came to their aid, and they proceeded to shoot the Raiders Vester A. Kittle, Hardin D. Meegan, Abb V. Rise, Abe I. Pearson, Wilford T. Artley, Carded H. Divine, Evertt O. Carlin, Jasper D. Otis, and Selmer Y. Ayars; the couple then paid each of the men $13.46 for helping to save their lives.

Arizona and Iron-Sights riding into the Southwest on their stolen carriage

The two men then rode through the Heartlands on their horses before Arizona stole a carriage from Waverly U. Hodgin along the Platte River; Iron-Sights shot Hodgin and knifed the carriage's female passenger to death before she could report the stolen carriage. Iron-Sights then sat in the carriage as Arizona drove, embarking on a journey from Nebraska to Texas, across the plains of Hennigan's Stead and the Pecos River, and into New Mexico. The two left the wagon upon discovering that Horley and LeClerk were waiting for them at Two Crows.

Arizona and Iron-Sights meeting LeClerk and Horley at Two Crows

There, Arizona and Iron-Sights saw LeClerk arguing with Horley, who urged caution, although she told Horley that Teddy Brown was just a "second rate, common no-good horse thief", and that he killed her husband on behalf of his sister, her husband, or Jeremiah Shaw. She then told Horley that she wanted Brown dead, and she then walked off as Horley addressed the two gunslingers and gave them the order to terminate Brown, reminding them that Brown and his associates were the people who had put the two innocent men in jail. Horley then had the two men ride with him to a forward camp, telling them that Brown and his gang were holed up in Fort Mercer, and that the lawmen who were besieging the fort were in hot water, as they were pushed back from their cannons.

Iron-Sights and Arizona wearing body armor

At the forward camp, Horley met with Marshal Irving L. Sloane, who told him that Brown and his men were holed up tight, that two of his men had been shot since last the two men spoke, and that powerful men attempted to get his boss to leave Brown alone, with Horley guessing that the two men were Amos Lancing and Jeremiah Shaw. Horley proceeded to have Arizona and Iron-Sights put on special body armor, surprising the Marshal; Horley explained that he always wanted to see if the armor worked, as it had once been donned by an Australian outlaw (a reference to Ned Kelly).

Arizona and Iron-Sights proceeded to storm the fort, with both men commandeering the Marshals' cannons and using them to pummel the outlaws on the walls, blast open the fort's gates, and tear apart the gunslingers who attempted to prevent them from entering Fort Mercer. While Iron-Sights continued to bombard the fort, Arizona charged into the fort and killed the outlaws Ignatius R. Morsely, Tilton C. Tuck, Johnny C. Graff, Shedrick I. Klingman, Irvine C. Hills, Frederick U. Taylor, Silas Q. Haworth, Columbus D. Fanny, Leigh Y. Kimmell, Eliah L. Fallan, Evans R. Ellingsworth, and Love B. Jacks. Iron-Sights later ran in and helped Arizona sweep the fort, killing all of Brown's minions.

Iron-Sights and Arizona confronting Teddy Brown

Once all of Brown's men were dead, Brown emerged from one of the buildings donning his own suit of armor and toting a shotgun. Arizona and Iron-Sights ran to cover, shooting the last of his henchmen before throwing sticks of dynamite at Brown. After around three dynamite explosinos, Brown was felled, and Iron-Sights and Arizona finished off Brown's crew before Horley and LeClerk entered the fort to interrogate Brown. Brown threw off his helmet to breathe, and LeClerk held him at gunpoint and asked if Brown had killed her husband. Brown admitted that he had believed that he had killed LeClerk's brother, and taunted her by telling her how her husband had begged for his life. However, he refused to reveal who had sent him, so LeClerk shot him in the forehead, killing him. She then had Horley pay the two men, and she decided to kill the lot of the suspects in her husband's murder.

Arizona taking cover from the Tumbleweed law

Iron-Sights and Arizona proceeded to ride to Tumbleweed, where they planned to meet up with Little Pete, who had heard of their exploits and wished to join them. Upon arrival, however, Arizona was called a "moron" by the lawman Hayes C. Cowden, so Arizona blasted Cowden with his shotgun, killing him. Arizona proceeded to engage in a shootout with the local law, killing the lawmen Philander A. McCay, Worley K. Detzauer, Mayberry O. Slaughter, and Myrtle Y. Furrow, among others. The US Marshals were then dispatched to apprehend Arizona, so Arizona shot Bedal G. Friedman and ran to the saloon to hole up.

Arizona taking cover from the US Marshals in Tumbleweed

Arizona, taking cover behind the bar, was soon besieged by the law, so he shot Ellsworth F. Heyatt, Leo B. Mahr, Cicero Y. Wooster, and Zebulon O. Essex at the saloon before running to the end of town to ambush the lawmen as they rode in. Taking cover behind a fence, Arizona shot Marshall V. Kipp, Josiah W. Bagley, Bayard I. Dalson, Joshua H. Pemberton, Wilbert M. Hedley, Delas F. McWhinney, Meyer V. Stowell, and Percival T. Haworth before the outlaw Abel R. Kerns rode into town and shot Arizona, wounding him.

Arizona shooting the lawmen at the Tumbleweed saloon

When Arizona recovered, the town law recognized him and attempted to shoot him dead, forcing Arizona to kill the lawmen Addie E. Bradshaw, Alpha L. Sands, Gene L. Mounts, and Jessa N. Snyder. The US Marshals then rode in, and Arizona shot Westle S. Maroy and Lish B. Fight before Kerns once again shot and wounded Arizona. When Arizona recovered, he approached the lawmen Bailey L. Bowker and Sam E. Carette, leading to a shootout in which Arizona shot the local lawmen Mattie N. Corey and Shadrick E. Radley, and then the Marshals Eustace M. Smyth, Levin C. Hitchcock, and Jabez H. Hinds before taking cover in the saloon. Arizona proceeded to kill the Marshals Woodson Y. Bunch, Chaney T. Ollinger, Emmerson K. Pekham, Verne M. Washburne, Elliot J. Brannan, Bright J. Doyle, Chatfield I. Huskey, Matthias N. Nicklous, Wayne Z. Spink, Alvi P. Reinhart, Tyler E. Herner, Ansley D. Lindsay, and Damon N. Dorn, blasting them with a shotgun from behind the bar.

Arizona unhorsing a bounty hunter in Tumbleweed

Just then, Little Pete arrived in town, and the law stopped pursuing Arizona Kid as a large contingent of bounty hunters came to Tumbleweed to collect Pete's bounty. Arizona came to Pete's aid, killing the bounty hunters Booker I. Hathaway, Sedgwick M. Ruth, Lenard F. Inks, Eustace M. Smyth, Orthoel T. Austin, Boss M. Gentert, Dell V. Donnelson, Author W. Folsom, Dain T. Vanlier, Felton R. Mason, Herbert T. Hess, Wilburn C. Blackman, and Manford P. Donner, as well as the lawman Lim N. Andrews. Arizona then escorted Pete to safety, running with him towards Cueva Seca, where they outran the bounty hunters and ensured Pete's safety.

Little Pete, Arizona, and Iron-Sights arriving at Fort Mercer

The three old friends then decided to answer Fort Mercer's call to arms, with Arizona holding the main gate, Iron-Sights holding the rear, and Little Pete running around the fort to kill any other outlaws. The three men and their allies killed the outlaws Garland R. Crabtree, Mac W. Tenant, Adrian E. Pasley, Hand M. Barnell, Blas Y. Strode, Rollie A. Eckhart, Harm O. Slavrejack, Fed V. Cogan, Julius E. McLine, Vaughn G. McKirahan, Mannington Z. Edlin, Marion B. Jarman, Ayers C. During, Merl V. Shaley, Augustus Q. Felt, Chauncey L. Brook, Karl R. Whitlow, Ezra U. Templeton, Hector Barrios Silva, Francisco G. Diggs, Auther M. Isaac, Augusta Z. Simon, Hub T. Newcom, and Hilton V. Kellogg, holding off seven waves of attackers before parting ways.

Arizona fighting off the bounty hunters at Carmody Dell

Days later, Arizona rode out by himself to use his large collection of treasure maps to find several treasures. Arizona first decided to ride south from Carmody Dell to Citadel Rock, but, while riding through Carmody Dell that night, Arizona was ambushed by several bounty hunters who sought to claim his $17.49 bounty. Arizona took cover next to the farmhouse and killed most of the bounty hunters, but the last of them, Doyle N. Dufoe, shot Arizona with his double-action revolver. Arizona recovered from his wounds, but he was forced to pay off his full bounty as a result.

Arizona finding the Citadel Rock treasure

Arizona then rode into Valentine to purchase ammunition, and he then made his way into the Heartlands, where he searched for the treasure at Citadel Rock. He found .98 nuggets of gold and $25, and he promptly rode back towards Valentine, hunting a pronghorn doe along the way and selling the carcass to the butcher. Arizona exchanged greetings with the visiting gunslinger Zack Orr and then visited the saloon, where he ate almonds and drank liquor before hearing gunshots which startled the people in the saloon. Arizona walked onto the street, where he found Orr's body in the mud. Arizona then noticed the aggressive gunslinger Allister McClintock running into the street, and McClintock shot at Arizona as Arizona took cover in the saloon. Arizona took cover at the saloon's entrance, while McClintock attempted to shoot Arizona through a side window. Arizona instead used his small double-barrel shotgun to blast McClintock through the window, shooting him twice and killing him.

Arizona then rode due north towards Calumet Ravine, where he sought to find another treasure on his map. Along the way, he came across the stagecoach driver Orvill L. Hincke near Wall, Pennington County, South Dakota, and, when Hincke - angered at Arizona riding close to his stagecoach - called Arizona a "peckerwood", Arizona stole the stagecoach and shot Hincke with his shotgun. Arizona drove the stagecoach to Calumet Ravine that night, and, after a short period of searching, he found the treasure and retrieved $92.78 and some gold pieces. While attempting to circumvent the ravine on the stagecoach, Arizona lost one of his horses when it fell off of the narrow road and into the ravine, and he lost his other horse when he accidentally smashed into Alonzo O. Gist and his horse, killing both horses and Gist.

Arizona bumping into Leon Gonzalez Marquez

Arizona then called his horse and rode towards the forest east of the Watson family's cabin, where another treasure was hidden. Along the way, northwest of Cotorra Springs, he passed the Mexican rider Leon Gonzalez Marquez, who called him an idiota for riding too close to him. Arizona responded by shooting the man in the back wioth a shotgun, and he followed Gonzalez as he limped away, fell to the ground, and bled out of his neck until he died.

Arizona heard gunshots and sensed danger as he rode past Chez Porter, and he ambushed and shot the armed rider Junior W. Nims, whom he discovered to be a revenue agent. He then arrived at the ranch, where he found that another outlaw had killed the revenue agents Coleman H. Hagen, Eligah N. Crean, Findley P. Dunell, and Augustus L. Beland and the Skinners Starling B. Desha, Vint U. Alkire, Hakan Robbins, Honovi Henry, and Otaktay Flowers; he shot revenue agent Manly N. Derman when he arrived at the ranch. Arizona then continued on his ride, riding past the Window Rock, Granite Pass, and the Whinyard Strait, and he found a chest of $115.58 at Watsons East.

Arizona proceeded to search for the treasure at Hawks Eye Creek, finding it between Monto's Rest and Diablo Ridge. There, he took $99.66 from the chest. Arizona then mounted up and rode to a secluded area near Painted Sky Ranch, where another treasure was hidden. Arizona quickly located this treasure on an abandoned cart, and he found $175 waiting within. With these treasures in stow, and with $1,828.31 and 18.50 gold pieces in his possession, Arizona decided to take a rest from his travels.

Arizona watching the lawmen shoot at Little Pete

Days later, Arizona met up with Iron-Sights and Pete in Tumbleweed, where Pete climbed on top of the sheriff's office and began to shoot several lawmen, itching for a fight. Arizona initially watched as Pete (later joined by Iron-Sights) killed the lawmen Pope A. Schuiltz, Manson I. Bales, Elbert Y. Day, Lovell I. Routh, Toy E. Pedley, Almerion R. Bader, Louis S. Pomeroy, and Parcels K. Gillian, and Arizona himself got into trouble with the law while looting the dead lawmen's corpses. Arizona went on to kill the lawmen Israel M. Horine, Joseph P. Shinkle, Cornelious Y. Buckington, Thaddeus L. Wainwright, and Manly B. Crisp before Iron-Sights suggested that they stop using their ammunition on the law and return to Fort Mercer to help the gunslingers there with holding off hordes of attaccking outlaws.

Arizona shooting at the fort's attackers in the rain

The three men then returned to the fort, with Arizona covering the main entrance, Pete covering the walls, and Iron-Sights covering the rear entrance. They and their allies killed the outlaws Sydney G. O'Fallon, Bethal Z. Mullins, Barnet T. Scribner, Domingo K. Cassner, Judson H. Wilbanks, Steward I. Fitzpatrick, Marcus A. Gladwish, Corrin A. Gosnell, Wess V. Phettyplace, Boss D. Frakes, Nic T. Combs, Marzavine C. Talley, Ciphas T. Millican, Allen D. Kleinhen, Harmon N. Clary, Jimmy D. Harpster, Hosea N. Enslow, Philando S. Garvey, Winslow T. Brodin, Phillips A. Rousen, Houston B. Rice, Hudson W. Boggs, Bradford Z. Elmore, Lobe P. Shobe, Aug S. Monfort, Elvis U. Dabbs, Osborne O. Selby, Gaston S. McDaniel, Oral B. Benedict, Phillip P. Anyan, Gran E. Hall, Ples N. Goldberg, Carleton G. Hinsman, Gilderoy D. McGovurn, Pat F. Mashburn, Herm A. Hinman, Buril R. Cleveland, Sereno N. Busham, Marian O. Thornton, Henry D. Cornan, Elijah L. Nedrow, Sumner M. Mayborn, Alvan G. Morison, Doss R. Booker, Bryan A. Coldren, Darius C. Howser, Hyrum V. Dufoe, Ashbury Z. Hoyt, Tarleton J. Purdy, Hamlin E. Hazel, Clemente S. Rutter, Cassius J. Bolar, Mannington J. Beavert, Lou Z. Hayden, Pinckney H. Smarr, Oren P. Noland, Wilmer B. Seeman, Thad C. Bridgeford, Hugo D. Archard, Randolph E. Newbold, Paul S. Cottel, Erick T. Lyndon, and Rice W. Posterwait during the shootout. The trio and their allies found themselves besieged by an increasingly strong enemy force, with many outlaws in the seventh wave charging into the fort with machetes and with the aid of armored wagons equipped with machine-guns. During the eighth wave, the outlaws began to bombard the fort with cannons, and the defenders used Maxim guns to fight off attackers, although the outlaws managed to penetrate the fortress and render the Maxim guns less useful now that the perimeter was breached. Ultimately, the defenders were wounded and overwhelmed, and the three gunslingers were each paid $119 for their efforts.

Arizona attacking Sergio Vincenza's hideout

Some time later, Arizona and Iron-Sights met up in Annesburg, where they accepted the bounty on the anarchist terrorist Sergio Vincenza. The two of them rode to the outskirts of Annesburg, where they found Vincenza positioning himself atop a lookout tower with a sniper rifle, and several radicalized workers guarding him. Arizona and Iron-Sights ambushed the anarchist hideout and killed Campbell X. Ladd, Eberhart J. Deits, Loyd O. Garrison, Ishmael B. Colburn, Armstead R. Pass, Jones Z. Farrington, Severt R. Brinckman, Richard W. Lindheimer, Carrell E. Granes, Rich F. McCaskill, Gordon O. Garrels, Carol A. Holestone, Harold Y. Rippletoe, Deforest H. Hoye, Sherwood W. Balliman, Evertt K. Eshbaugh, Sullivan U. Muman, Fredrick T. Berg, and Ed K. Lusk. While charging the tower, Iron-Sights inadvertently killed Vincenza, so he mounted Vincenza's body on his horse as Arizona helped to fight off the pursuing anarchists. Arizona shot Caldwell M. Dedermann, Zeke E. Applegarth, Delvin L. Mahle, and Baldwin F. Stanley, and they delivered Vincenza's body to Annesburg for a reward of $56.48 each.

Arizona and Iron-Sights arriving at the sheriff's office in Valentine

Arizona and Iron-Sights then decided to leave Annesburg for Valentine to meet up with Marshal Davies, and, along the way, they agreed to escort Alison K. Wyamore and Lucas H. Eveland's caravan from Annesburg to O'Creagh's Run. They were both paid $12.89, and they then met up with Old Man Jones, who told them that Marshal Davies had requested their help in Valentine. The two men rode to Valentine, where they met with Marshal Davies and Sheriff Malloy at the sheriff's office. The two lawmen were arguing over Montez's fate, as the Sheriff was worried about the horde of Del Lobos that was descending on Valentine. Now that his two hired guns were present, Davies decided to confront the gang, and he summarily executed Montez by shooting him in the head rather than give him over to his gang. He then told Arizona and Iron-Sights to join the townspeople in bracing for the ensuing attack.

Arizona preparing to shoot the first attacker

Arizona and Iron-Sights then approached the town's volunteers, including Sherrod B. Treadaway and Rebecca Caldwell, and directed them to defensive positions. Soon, the Del Lobos began their attack, and Arizona, Iron-Sights, Marshal Davies, and the townspeople engaged in a bloody gun battle; among the dead were the outlaws Otho R. Loury, Avren C. Peck, Elsie M. Countryman, Andy Y. Poteet, Maximino Carrión Mata, Balbo Campos Gamez, Yoel Aguayo Escobar, Yago Rivero Madera, Linus Quiñones Villalpando, and Demian Olivera Olivas, the last of whom was riding an armored war wagon; Iron-Sights picked off Olivera with a rifle bullet, never having to resort to dynamite to destroy the wagon. With all of the outlaws dead, the hired guns returned to Davies and Malloy, and Davies convinced Malloy to pass off Montez's death as a failed escape attempt, while the Marshal and Sheriff thanked their two helpers, and Davies said that he wished to see the two men again in the future.

Arizona and Iron-Sights decided to rest in Valentine, and Arizona met the Indian outlaw Corn Counter at the saloon. Upon returning to the street, Arizona got into an altercation with the passer-by Bertrand H. Durley, who drew a gun on Arizona, forcing Arizona to shoot him in self-defense. As a result, the law searched for Arizona, and Arizona killed the lawmen Wyatt C. Harington, Earley M. Saling, Bid I. Kent, and Phillips P. Orriel before hiding in the outskirts of town and watching the law search for him.

Arizona watching the Valentine law search for him

When Arizona deemed it safe to return to Valentine, Arizona returned to town, but local farmer Garner B. Peebles recognized him as the fugitive murderer and attempted to report on his presence. Arizona hogtied him, keeping him quiet. However, Arizona found that Iron-Sights had gotten into trouble in town, and he joined him in fighting the law. The two outlaws killed Worley Z. Struthers, Duane F. Greenhalgh, Alsup R. Lockhart, Heath Q. Coyle, Euphrates Y. Callett, Glover L. Moffitt, and Edwin V. Bozil before paying off their bounties.

Arizona then visited the saloon for another drink, only to find that Corn Counter had murdered the lawmen Henderson V. Bage, Tobias F. Neay, Delos T. Whitner, and Ansley L. Nollman. Corn Counter, in a rage, then attempted to attack Arizona, but Arizona fought him off in a fistfight. The unconscious Corn Counter later escaped while Arizona reunited with Iron-Sights, and the two men took up positions on the second floor of the saloon and ambushed Corn Counter when he returned, riddling him with bullets; Arizona also shot off Corn Counter's head to posthumously punish him for his betrayal.

Arizona looking upon one of Iron-Sights' victims

Afterwards, Iron-Sights got into an altercation of his own with the locals, leading to Iron-Sights murdering two of them. Arizona then witnessed Iron-Sights kill the lawmen Jude Y. Labryer, Raoul O. Biley, Wite Z. Mellville, Raphael E. Higby, Platt O. Nesbitt, Vincent A. Jaynes, Alcide P. Youngquest, Al K. Dodson, Soloman R. Esmay, Lennie D. Empie, Cato R. Hecker, Samuel F. McClean, and Gotlieb A. Hanvey in a running shootout from midnight to dawn; Iron-Sights then fled, and Arizona watched as Patrick I. Baumbaugh and Gerald G. Reiley searched in vain for his friend. Arizona then decided to rest for a while, temporarily retiring his rifle.

A while later, Arizona jumped back in the saddle and sought additional work as a hired gun in the Southwest. He met up with James Langton at Lake Don Julio, where Langton hired Arizona to rescue the prisoner McFarland D. Hamly from his prison wagon, as Hamly was under his protection. Arizona located the prison cart as it rode up a steep ridge in rural New Mexico, and he shot the lawmen Esta U. Tallmadge, Bird K. Wipperd, and another deputy before killing the wagon guards Toney N. Davidson and Arno Z. Pell. Arizona then took over the reins of the wagon and drove it back towards Lake Don Julio, where Hamly’s associates awaited his arrival. Arizona fought off an ambush by Del Lobo bandits before reaching the lakeside campsite in the middle of the night; he then shot the padlock off the wagon and released Hamly from the wagon. Arizona was paid $39.25 for Hamly’s rescue.

That same night, Arizona rode into the desert and met with Shaky, who hired him to rustle a horse from Ridgewood Farm. Arizona rode into the farm and ambushed Edie O. Chronister with his rifle before shooting the ranchers Israel D. Coffield, Wike M. Maxfield, Gerard D. Batle, Sidner M. Keckly, Wood R. Minor, and Rene R. Healey and stealing the ranch’s stallion. Arizona brought the horse over to Ellis J. Lawless, who received the horse and gave Arizona $24.05 for his help.

Arizona pursuing Jose Matías Rosales — Arizona riding after the stolen wagon

With his reputation suffering as a result of his participation in outlaw deeds, Arizona decided to redeem himself by helping out the Sheriff of Tumbleweed. He rode past the site of a shootout between an outlaw posse and several lawmen, and he made his way to Tumbleweed, where he purchased more ammunition for his weapons. He then visited Sheriff Freeman, who told him that the O’Driscolls had stolen a wagon from a farm and killed several farmers in the process; Freeman told Arizona to recover the wagon. Arizona caught up with the stolen wagon in the desert and killed the wagon driver Jose Matías Rosales; he then took the reins of the wagon and rode back towards Tumbleweed, shooting the Del Lobo ambushers Reynaldo Galván Rivas, Natanael Caraballo Llarnas, David Farías Peres, and Ciríaco Roque Canales and successfully returning the wagon to Tumbleweed for payment.

Arizona then decided to ride east to hunt in the Great Plains to make some more honest money. While riding through the Texas plains on the way to Blackwater, he came across abundant wildlife, and Arizona hunted a Pronghorn buck with a bow and arrow. Arizona then mounted the Pronghorn buck onto his horse, and he rode into Blackwater and sold the Pronghorn’s good-quality carcass for $3.90. As it was nighttime by the time Arizona arrived in Blackwater, Arizona decided to rest after selling the carcass.

Arizona recovering the wagon in the swamps

Some time later, Arizona left Texas for Louisiana, riding into New Orleans in search of his next job. Arizona headed to the train station and met the gruff postmaster Angus Elliston, who hired him to retrieve a wagon which had been stolen on the outskirts of the city. Arizona tracked down the wagon to the swamps north of New Orleans, and he killed the Louisiana Raiders Julien L. Sebastian, Siels F. Braddock, and Erle P. Reves before recovering the wagon and driving it back into the city. After dropping off the wagon at the police headquarters, Arizona was paid $23.14 for his assistance.

Arizona then rode out of New Orleans, deciding to seek work from Bray and Tammy Aberdeen at their farm. Tammy Aberdeen claimed that their horses had escaped, and Bray asked Arizona to “recover” the horse from Lakay, which he warned Arizona was “full of outlaws and degenerates”. Arizona rode to the bayou settlement and ambushed the outlaws, killing Bethuel E. Yokely, Underwood M. Humes, Riley W. McKinnie, Hic K. Perry, and several other gunslingers before stealing the horse and bringing it back to the Aberdeen Pig Farm for his payment of $34.17.

Next, Arizona set out to visit Joe Bedford at his isolated cabin, and Bedford had him carry out a series of contract killings at Fort Brennand. Arizona rode to the Civil War-era fort and killed the outlaws Bryan K. Beltz, Abie S. Nelms, Harl B. Chenoweth, Roy Y. Blodgett, Dexter R. Guines, Stuart N. Conerty, and several of their colleagues. As a reward for eliminating the six targets on Joe’s list, Arizona was paid $19.64.

Having stayed in Louisiana for a significant period, Arizona decided to ride west to the cattle town of Valentine for rest and relaxation. While there, he visited the saloon and purchased a haircut, as well as several drinks. While leaving the saloon, Arizona got into a street altercation with the wagon driver Eldridge R. Quirk, who pulled a gun on Arizona after a tense standoff; Arizona proceeded to shoot Quirk dead.

Arizona then returned to the saloon, where, down on his luck, he found himself in a scrap with fellow saloon customer Octave N. Ogg. The situation devolved from an argument over personal space into a fistfight and then Arizona pulling a gun on Ogg and shooting him dead. Arizona was then forced to fight the other men in the saloon, shooting Alivin L. Tiffey, Carah V. Clingham, and Tomie T. Connaughton when they drew their own guns. Word of his deed soon spread to the townspeople, and several of them attempted to report him to the law. Arizona was forced to pursue the witnesses, shooting Hobart P. Dobbs, Oda Y. Riechman (at the back door of the sheriff’s office), Genie K. Mynehan, and Neal Z. Sledge. Nevertheless, the law soon became aware of Arizona’s actions, and Arizona would have found himself in a solo, nighttime shootout with the local law, had Iron-Sights not arrived in town and joined his friend in the shootout.

Arizona and Iron-Sights proceeded to kill the lawmen Amado B. Goldsberry, Mart K. Kountry, Lincoln F. Slate, Harv W. Deshen, Leigh J. Sproul, and several others before Asbury Q. Page stormed the saloon and shot Arizona, wounding him. Arizona recovered a short while later, and, next morning, he witnessed two other outlaws – Patrick V. Holis and Alvi J. Tyers – get into a duel at the Valentine campsite. Holis shot Tyers after a quick-draw and an exchange of insults, and Holis quipped that he was, “Gonna make that idiot buy me some more bullets.”

The trio returning to Fort Mercer for another shootout

Shortly after, Iron-Sights and Little Pete joined Arizona on the main drag in Valentine, reuniting the three friends once again. The trio decided to ride Southwest to once again answer Fort Mercer’s call to arms, and they joined the local Del Lobos in fighting off over a dozen waves of brutal outlaws. They killed Lincoln V. Waymire, Mahlon N. Dusenberry, Amisa K. Dykeman, Allison S. Pilgrim, Lark P. Heyatt, Brigham H. Snaveley, Adoniram J. Bayse, Alcee P. Seter, Alvan K. Smeed, Anderson D. Monahan, Joseph V. Swanson, Sampson N. Carden, Shelton V. Cartwright, Virgle T. Bata, Croin Y. Slicting, Markus K. Trace, North M. Eubanks, Edson P. Villmer, Rudolph K. Legg, Webster X. Coy, Lora Z. Jefferson, Fay B.

Hemne, Clarence R. Haley, Carrol V. Gosney, Helmer G. Massie, Medore K. McNees, Artie X. Melven, Isaiah C. Mallory, Irvine J. Lanham, Ossie Y. Houghton, Augar Q. Loudon, Delve I. Youngquest, Orla P. Judd, Rene P. Mason, Ferd A. Barry, Sie E. Dalson, Larry E. Vertz, Burrell Z. Retchless, Doniphan P. Monk, Lucus W. Lucy, Everett N. Hollister, Childs S. Edwards, Blaine B. Faubel, Hilery D. McGugin, Friedrich L. Vanloon, Milt G. Sebastian, Julious F. Pettibone, Cornelius C. Beldine, Benjaman Z. Skwor, Elliot W. Berg, Jude E. Standidge, Seldon D. Spitz, Jarvil E. Nisonger, Carlisle E. Grove, Dominique A. Lawsha, Buster E. Shipe, Emanuel Z. Pickrel, Guilford G. Haner, and several other outlaws before leaving the fort, having been wounded several times and fought off as many attackers as they could. Arizona was paid $71.60 after holding off six waves, and around a similar price for holding off another six.

Arizona and Iron-Sights looking out over the Rio Grande

Afterwards, Little Pete temporarily parted ways with his friends, and Arizona and Iron-Sights rode off from the fort together. Arizona watched with disagreement as Iron-Sights killed the passer-by Manning H. Karnes and the witness Dominick H. Ethridge, but both men proceeded to ride to a cliffside on the banks of the Rio Grande, where they observed the vast valley and the Mexican border below. From that scenic view, the two men parted ways, leaving Arizona to ride back towards Tumbleweed to rest.

On his way there, Arizona crashed horses with Hosteen H. Friend near Mercer Station, resulting in a standoff which resulted in Arizona shooting the hostile Friend (who had warned Arizona about his gun, “Oh, put that aware ‘fore I have folks mourning your grave.”) Arizona then rode off, eating a can of beans before returning to Tumbleweed to take a break.

Arizona and Iron-Sights arriving at the depot

Some time later, Arizona and Iron-Sights reunited in Armadillo and decided to pursue the bounty target Etta Doyle, a 40-year-old outlaw who dressed in men’s clothing and was seen in the proximity of New Orleans. The two of them rode to the Cornwall depot in New Orleans, where they and two of Leviticus Cornwall’s employees, including Joel F. Elenes, set a trap for Doyle. The two security guards told the bounty hunters that Doyle could be identified by a large knife scar on her right cheek, and they stood guard at the entrance as the bounty hunters hid themselves.

The bounty hunters watched as Doyle and her gang of masked cross-dressing females arrived, and Doyle and her fellow outlaws knocked out the two guards and began to search the depot for loot. Just then, Arizona and Iron-Sights ambushed the outlaws, killing Crissie G. Lakin, Theresia P. Conyers, Ludie U. Porter, and several others. Iron-Sights identified and captured Doyle, whom he brought to the jail as Arizona escorted him. They were then paid for the live capture of Doyle.

Arizona and Iron-Sights arriving at the ranch

Shortly after, Arizona and Iron-Sights volunteered to come to the aid of MacFarlane’s Ranch, which was once again under attack by waves of hundreds of outlaws. The two friends and the ranchers killed the outlaws Marvin J. Wirts, Lucien V. Bochner, Evertt A. Winter, Val Q. Ort, Claborne F. Crockett, Oliver V. Heath, Seaborn J. Slayton, Ashby O. Edenfield, Golden K. Music, Johnathan S. Beavert, Euphrates Z. Alley, Carlos B. Lombard, Dewit S. Wilhelm, Frank A. Sommerville, Sammie M. Penington, Willet F. Westman, Hattie V. Pugsley, Talmadge J.

Redford, Grief M. Sellers, and many others before the attacks subsided.

Days later, Arizona reunited with Little Pete and rode to the Southern town of Rhodes, where Arizona purchased “the Clayton” outfit for $545, and drank with Pete at the Rhodes Parlor House. He was amused as Pete attempted to barge in on the gentle folks’ conversations and flirt with the women, and the two men later decided to ride to Blackwater, Texas to play poker. While in town, Arizona got a haircut to match his fancy new outfit.

Arizona was dismayed to see Pete murder Slade T. Egbert and his wife Clara Egbert at their household on the edge of Blackwater and take their guest Gertruda Palacios hostage, and he watched as Pete got into a shootout with the local law. Pete killed several lawmen that afternoon before climbing atop the Imperial Theatre and picking off several policemen as they attempted to storm the rooftop. Pete killed Bishop L. McCrea, Cody Y. Owen, Dominic G. Jagger, Verne U. Boast, Garner O. Stinson, Asa C. Haines, Jock W. Pitz, Edwin T. Horricks, Alice K. Burdean, Marian K. Jefferson, Carleton S. Sellmann, Pinkney Z. Jenson, Forrest B. Hanshan, Geary S. Runion, Donnie N. Essleman, Conrad W. Pope, Hilery F. Bradt, Pearson G. Vance, Sims W. Traylor, Gussie D. Wareham, Stuart U. Worchley, Mortimer W. Tangney, Marion Q. Kern, and Prescott U. Lidgard before escaping the town; he also shot Palacios’ head off when Arizona found that Palacios had died during the shootout.

Arizona, Pete, and Iron-Sights reuniting in Valentine

Days later, Arizona reunited with Pete and Iron-Sights in Valentine, where they answered the town’s call to arms. They killed the outlaws Enos E. Albaugh, Jere O. Huffman, Hughie L. Mark, Michael N. Quin, Anatole H. Glen, Terry R. Salle, Platt Z. Harkins, Alger H. Seam, Saul Y. Hickens, Albert A. Hatchet, Otha N. Tweedy, Hazen R. Barnica, Clement R. Bobst, Benjman J. Landolf, Conrad S. Trent, Holly Q. Rupiper, Hosie S. Stirman, Robertson A. Castor, Matt V. Benton, Lobe A. Weygint, Prichard U. Robetson, Walker Q. Vaughn, Esta G. Wershing, Phesley C. Lichtie, Mitchel H. Laird, Holmes N. Durley, Hawkins X. Sears, and many of their accomplices before Pete left, and Arizona and Iron-Sights also decided to depart.

Arizona storming Stewart S. Rickets' camp

The trio soon reunited after discovering a gang hideout in the Pike National Forest, where Arizona killed Abram C. Cleason, Alden V. Wyckoff, and a few other outlaws before storming the camp’s cabin and killing the gang leader Stewart S. Rickets, who drew his rifle on Arizona before Arizona had a chance to talk him down. During the shootout, Pete and Iron-Sights both commandeered machine-guns and gunned down the remaining outlaws.

Afterwards, the trio rode to Valentine, where they grabbed drinks together. Shortly after, they met Chas White, a friend of Little Pete’s, behind the saloon. They decided to form a posse, and, minutes later, they came into conflict with a rival posse led by Burty Bee. In the ensuing nighttime shootout, Arizona was also forced to kill the lawmen Elva K. Blackstone, Webster X. Maxtead, and Guy V. Dodge for attempting to apprehend him, and he and his fellow outlaws fled to the Pike National Forest, where they laid low for a while.

Arizona rescuing the stage from Colm Hayes and his fellow outlaws

The next night, Arizona decided to seek work by his lonesome, and he met with Alden at the Valentine train station. Alden told Arizona that he booked a stage through Valentine, but it did not come in, and it may have been beset by uncouth elements in the nearby valley. Arizona rode into the valley and found the stagecoach guarded by the O’Driscolls, and Arizona shot the outlaws Colm Hayes, Tristan MacCartan, Danny O'Boland, Cathal MacBreen, Jackson Dunleavy, Paul Geary, Tadhg O'Brien, and Finn Quinn and brought the stage back to Valentine for $28.73. On his return to Valentine, Arizona got into a fight with the strange outlaw Bert Y. Merrang, who initially greeted him in a friendly manner before drawing on him.

Arizona then volunteered to help defend Valentine from a new wave of outlaws, and he and the townspeople killed the outlaws Asa Z. Surles, Mitchell A. Filley, Santiago T. Barcus, Earlie D. Gibon, Mant K. Shute, Bethuel D. Wittmeyer, Eliga X. Wilchack, Amon D. Machuse, Manuel A. Striker, Yancy E. Fahe, Add G. Weyman, Williams T. Hilberthauser, Reno Z. Roark, Nicholas C.

Iron-Sights joined in shortly after, and they killed Derick F. Mackber, Absolom B. Hohlfield, Raswell Z. Kensler, Walker U. Weberritt, Dempsy H. Rohr, Sullivan C. Roseberry, Julian J. Bolkman, Wells T. Brisbin, Stephen H. Volney, Pearlie Y. Wampee, McCoy J. Kruger, Melton C. Fish, Frederick M. Yecgh, Eben G. Mugler, Simon C. Helm, Nephi D. Yorbraugh, Dominick F. Doudna, Candido V.

Arizona shooting lawmen in front of the saloon

Arizona, Iron-Sights, and Little Pete proceeded to meet up at the Valentine saloon, and Arizona purchased a rare shotgun. At the saloon, Iron-Sights and Pete harassed the prostitutes in the establishment, and Pete lassoed Eunice E. Devall and brought her to an upstairs bedroom. Iron-Sights shot Newman V. Lynk when he attempted to intercede, and a shootout began as Iron-Sights and Pete held out against the law as they besieged the saloon. Arizona soon got involved after the lawmen caught him looting dead bodies, and the trio killed the lawmen Ayers M. Postal, Odin T. Viehland, Philander R. Solar, Isom Y. Yarbrough, Lovell N. Newkirk, Porter E. Stafford, Hayes O. Alvoid, Garland V. David, Stephen A. Bruns, Adam Q. Kinkaid, Armond W. Bunch, Reasoner W. Dull, Gustav N. Woodberry, Dana K. Polite, Shipman J. Shumuay, Jonah B.

Brevan, Amos I. Allrich, and Estes F. Gauldrie, among others.

Arizona ambushing Leo Moynihan and his fellow O'Driscolls

Several days later, Arizona decided to help Alden recover a lost stagecoach from the O’Driscolls, riding into the nearby valley and killing the Irish outlaws Leo Moynihan, Aaron O'Kelleher, Levi MacGrath, Senan Whelan, and a few of their accomplices. Arizona then returned the stagecoach to Valentine, where he used his pay to buy a double-barrelled shotgun for $185. He then met with Little Pete at the saloon, where he watched Pete kill Elon V. Causin and the prostitute Evelyn Dowey before Ancil V. Kindel shot Pete.

Arizona went on to visit the town’s tailor and buy the fancy Hettinger suit for $225. As he left the tailor, he found Pete kidnapping a woman on his horse, and he watched Pete shoot the lawmen Myron E. Matthews, Haxm G. Baehr, Sterling I. Fimple, Benaga T. Spaulding, Edgar E. Barentine, Ronald G. Smallwood, Nichols X. Spohn, Phesley J. Schaderman, Emett Y. McCallum, Laze K. Tramble, Elwood I. Aikens, Young Q. McNair, Emory G. Christopher, Jordan A. Preston, and several others; he jumped in to help Pete after the lawmen mistook Arizona for his accomplice. Pete instigated another shootout by killing Jos P. Ironside, Gregoria U. Duffey, and Pink G. Earle, and he went on to kill the lawmen Ned E. Whale, Blair V. Shaplan, Lim R. Winchell, Bishop V. Withers, Emmit P. Spearman, Sin O. Baskin, Leni A. North, Anton N. Bumgardner, Malcom I. Manings, Aurthur O. Bunce, and Hub K. Speers, shooting many of them from his position on the rooftop of a barn.

Arizona blasting the Skinners with his shotgun

Afterwards, Pete decided to head northwest with Arizona, who advised him to lay low and look for work in the quieter Rocky Mountains. Arizona had Pete ride on the back of his horse as he rode from Nebraska to Wyoming, an area which Pete had only been to once before. The two of them visited Flaco Hernandez, who hired Arizona and Pete to destroy stolen contraband stashed by the Skinner Brothers at Chez Porter. During the long ride through the mountains, Pete fell behind and parted ways with Arizona, who went on to kill Emory O. Farrer, Otis N. Borschell, Handy Z. Muns, Fender O. Wideman, Hurbert O. Ditto, and Bradford B. Lamber while destroying the Skinners’ contraband.

Arizona pinching a horse from the Braithwaites

Arizona then returned to Valentine to purchase more ammunition before deciding to trek southeast to Louisiana, where he visited the Southern town of Rhodes. There, he met with Trelawny, who hired him to go to Braithwaite Manor and pinch some of the Braithwaite family’s nags. At night, Arizona infiltrated the manor and killed the Braithwaite guards Cal B. Crane, Gary Z. Latham, Daton P. France, Hardy T. Cluxton, Rufus C. Hair, Oney P. Krietz, and Auguste O. Bertram before retrieving a horse from the estate and bringing it back to Trelawny for money. Arizona then returned to Rhodes, where he bought ammunition before deciding to answer Strawberry’s call to arms.

A well-dressed Arizona arriving in Strawberry

Arizona destroying an outlaw wagon at Strawberry

Arizona returned to the Rockies alone, entering the town of Strawberry and preparing the locals for a battle against the outlaws. Arizona and the armed townspeople killed Noys V. Dunell, Edwin F. Heidgas, Ancel H. Kemp, Paul J. Farrelly, Whiteley Y. Wilhelmson, Ferdinand M. Bice, Haxm P. Rutledge, Ross C. Morton, Pablo J. Ferman, Lessie O. Hetaick, Daton G. Craigen, Little E.

Gabel, Warner C. Rhode, Matthias R. Fer, Todd M. Snee, Louis R. Goughenbaugh, Logan A. Parmalee, Marlin J. McIlreevey, and several other gunslingers as they descended on the town.

Afterwards, Arizona bought a new cowboy outfit and took a stagecoach back to Arizona, where he decided to seek employment from Sheriff Freeman. Freeman sent Arizona to recover Rowlands’ wagon from the Del Lobos at Cueva Seca, and Arizona ambushed the bandits and killed Ashley M. Kellog, Nelson K. Crewdson, Ott W. Loughbridge, Lum E. Bartholomew, Carded M. Mikesell, Jellie Z. Hemphill, Elzy B. Coffey, Jaime Terrazas Mojica, Ezequías Chapa Carrillo, Nathan Abrego Espinosa, Adonai Bueno Cuellar, Esteban Rosado Cruz, Valentín Benítez Medina, and Jaime Razo Ramón before returning the wagon to Tumbleweed.

That night, Arizona rode south to the Rio Grande border with Mexico, where Shaky hired him to kill several targets at Benedict Point. Arizona hunted down and killed Joshua L. Keam, Wiley X. Paradis, Geary U. Leadletter, Lain U. Stilson, Adam S. Workman, Braxton O. Vandegriff, Harrison I. Julean, Roe O. Merton, Clarance D. Hersh, Annie K. Kinzer, Thompson R. Sluzter, Cash R. Speer, and Jimmy E. Keck in the desert and around Benedict Point, after which he was paid.

Arizona then rode to Armadillo and accepted the bounty on the notorious assassin Cole Ward, who was wanted dead or alive for killing with impunity over the course of ten years. Arizona ambushed Ward as he rode to Fort Mercer, preventing him from cowering behind the fort’s walls, and tying him up before riding to Armadillo. Arizona threw Ward into a jail cell, upon which he received payment.

Arizona escaping Venter's Place with the captured horse

With work dried up in Arizona, the Arizona Kid rode to Lake Don Julio and agreed to help Langton rustle a horse right off Venter’s Place. Arizona ambushed the ranchers, killing Ballard Y. Flennaken, Dennis G. McHenry, Hand W. Maskell, Peyton J. Metts, Ryder W. Stout, and Lane M. Leaming before rustling a horse off their ranch. He delivered the horse to Fort Mercer, upon which he found that Little Pete had returned.

The two men rode to Tumbleweed, where they bought ammunition before Arizona helped Pete fight off several bounty hunters who had come to collect his bounty. Arizona and Pete killed Anderson B. Menke, Cas F. Wesseloh, Riply Q. Mapes, Loran A. Mahler, Joachim S. Pursolt, and Judge P. Corell. Arizona and Pete then got into a shootout with the law, killing the lawmen Armstrong B. Lowe, Rowland B. Reigel, Reeves T. Funk, Leon C. Aimers, Tommie W. Radel, Monte U. Ellam, Geise N. Wymore, Aleoscius Z. Wall, Bert M. Silbert, Colbert K. Steine, Buddy G. Dott, Tobias D. Owens, Weston Q. Gestwite, Lindsey K. Bunt, Azra J. McGinness, Hallie Y. Stankey, Cicero Y. Schawaker, Britt Z. Stokly, Earnest F. Muhr, Preston M. Seitz, Dillard C. Haffner, Merlin C. Figard, Ellwood Z. Warne, and Ellie V. Pool before they fled.

Days later, Arizona and Little Pete reunited in the desert, and Arizona watched Pete charge a bandit camp near Hachita, New Mexico and kill the Del Lobos Murry Y. Clinton, Nelo Zamora Altamirano, Cencio Rosales Castro, Caswell G. Sweem, and Cleave S. Ridgley. Arizona decided to leave Pete to collect a satchel from the camp as he rode to Tumbleweed to collect more ammunition, but, after his horse was injured, he was forced to shoot Mant E. Kilburn and steal his horse.

While Pete wandered off into the wilderness, Arizona took on work from Shaky, again agreeing to hunt down enemies for him. Arizona rode to Benedict Point and killed the targets Marcus D. Crittenden, Reeves Q. Neely, Bertram J. Lee, Nicolas K. Lovelave, Rockwell H. Chamberlain, Ewald Q. Billiter, Emmet O. Niehardt, Charlie C. Finch, Len Y. Partch, Bishop H. Beeson, Yee E. Rector, Wenzel W. While, and Hayes R. Murphy before collecting his pay.

Arizona then returned to Tumbleweed, where he bought a LeMat Revolver for $317 and a Schofield Revolver for $192, bringing him down to around $1,220. He then decided to accept the bounty on the murderer Dan Blake, whom he tracked down to Benedict Point. He tied up Winslow Z. Hipple and Calloway A. Gammel after mistaking them for Blake, only to find Blake by the roadside, lasso and hogtie him, and carry him back to the Tumbleweed jail for a reward. Little Pete joined Arizona as he did so, and Pete decided to join Arizona at the Tumbleweed saloon for drinks.

Arizona shooting the bounty hunters in Tumbleweed

Just then, Arizona discovered that bounty hunters were coming to town to kill Pete, so he had Pete join him in taking cover behind the stone wall in front of the town’s church. The two of them killed the bounty hunters Caldwell K. Ramaly, Shep M. Carrie, Wiliam Y. Slattery, Curtis R. Peckham, Epifanio B. Rumer, Casimir Z. Chrisman, Chauncy W. Abley, Cas J. Wahlbold, Wat D. Vannice, Riley P. Prindle, and their associates, and Pete was able to escape the town and lose the bounty hunters.

Arizona and Pete coming to Strawberry's aid

Arizona and Pete, now in the mood for further shooting, traveled to the Colorado town of Strawberry to help defend the town from waves of outlaws. Arizona, Pete, and the armed townsfolk killed the outlaws Jermiah M. McQuaig, Edd C. Short, Ruffin H. Tillman, Nils K. Woodhead, Antonia L. Rayburn, Lois P. Minturn, Noys N. Marquissee, Holland X. Torbee, Lucious K. Farner, Herm K. Christian, Cameron A. Dill, Nolan U. Sibley, Marcellus X. Housel, Fenton A. Hilyard, Delos I. Guernsey, Solon K. Connaughton, Neri S. Mahany, Fleming S. Booth, Grady I. Coil, Graves D. Transue, Tyler H. Ijam, Benton Y. Linhart, Dallas S. Wine, Rafe J. Moraday, Hartsel U. Lottridge, Creed P. Knowles, Leni R. Knoll, Earlie G. Bentz, Omar S. Conklin, Wade N. Majors, Malvin Q. Burd, Wilmer Y. Forehand, Sherod O. Teeters, Gregeno H. Hobson, Dink W. Ambler, Edie P. Vincent, Ezra K. Schreiber, Anton J. Nims, Preston G. Bader, Epps I. Essleman, Clay K. Seaward, Ambers G. Aikin, Wilton B. Clenex, and several of their accomplices before Pete convinced Arizona that it was time to leave.

In short time, Arizona discovered why Pete wished to leave. Pete bound the young woman Lara Sutherland and threw her from a cliffside and at Arizona’s feet; a shocked Arizona watched her die before him. Pete also spontaneously blew the head off of the washerwoman Betsy Stevens, and he proceeded to kill the townsmen Simon C. Rowles, Curt T. Lamla, and Marsh P. Finger before the law attempted to apprehend Pete. Pete shot the lawmen Jeb U. McDanniel, Miles T. Hursey, Lee B. Alberth, and Augusta U. Whipple before stealing a Marshal’s hat.

Arizona watching Pete shoot the Strawberry lawmen

When the US Marshals rode into town, they mistook Arizona for Pete’s accomplice, forcing Arizona to join Pete in fighting them. The two men killed the lawmen Roy U. Minear, Ossie Y. Escher, Virece N. Gultery, Jeptha R. Laffoon, Divitt S. Astman, Wilford I. Schwingle, Stover K. Coen, Harvy S. Carnahan, Kirby X. Ackerman, Michah P. Bailer, Almarine P. Stapp, Salomon Z. Bulger, Winford N. Heikes, Homer D. Delaughter, Aubrey H. Tristle, Addison Z. Hand, Lincoln A. Hill, and Oakley J. Bryson, with Arizona and Pete fleeing out of the town and ambushing several searching lawmen as they rode through the forest and towards Strawberry. Ultimately, the two men escaped, and Arizona paid Old Man Jones three gold bars to restore his reputation.

Arizona searching the area for the stagecoach

Arizona promptly rode north to Valentine, where, as Pete got into fights with the locals, Arizona agreed to help Alden recover a lost stagecoach. Arizona rode to the valley where the O’Driscolls were known to take their stolen stagecoaches, and he ambushed the outlaws there and killed Colm Devane, Denis O'Neilan, Philip MacGuire, Pádraig Martin, Bradley Sullivan, Callum O'Leary, Casey O'Lonergan, Naoise Keaty, Odhran O'Hannon, Ruairí Coghlan, and Cillian O'Beirne before recovering the wagon. On the way back to Valentine, however, Arizona chose a longer route, and he was forced to fight off not only O’Driscoll roadblocks and pursuers, but also a rival posse which was able to destroy the wagon and leave Arizona empty-handed.

Arizona shooting outlaws on the bridge at Strawberry

Now that he was by himself, Arizona decided to return to Strawberry and once again help the locals fight off the outlaws. He helped the townsmen kill Roderick I. McLellan, Norton T. Feltnurn, Allison P. Jayne, Iver Z. Riddee, Vernie G. Krumwedie, Benj F. Van Cleave, Werner V. Wopkins, Gregory E. Glayo, Carah F. Haywood, Tobe A. Most, Sherman Y. Krietz, Adollph Z. Beuterbaugh, Stanley G. Lansing, Coley M. Bluthenthal, Melvin K. Greaves, Gregoria V. Gilligan, Calwin K. Aldeman, Carolus Z. Schaefer, Burl N. Keathley, Marcellus A. Lightsey, Hilmer Z. Marston, Rice X. Doyal, Charlie G. Slaejant, Nils T. Fetters, Gerrit J. O'Connor, Friend L. Righter, Disd E. Sibbitt, Chester I. Lange, Calender M. Rhoades, Hervey A. Radford, Kelly A. Kilburn, Norton T. Caley, Gaston U. Carrow, Maxie T. Mitchell, Lackey I. Quintin, Harold B. Davasaugh, Harrie S. Mire, Berry D. Kindcher, Lemuel Y. Meracle, Ananias M. Givens, Trester D. Busler, Clayton L. Kennett, White M. Shockley, Arnold O. Stratman, Brown D. Venn, Buford M. Tankersley, Bernard M. Kinner, Maynard W. Ashworth, Sim H. Tillard, and several other outlaws before hanging up his gun and resting for several days.

Days later, Arizona decided to return to Louisiana, visiting its bayous. While riding through Lagras, Arizona was antagonized by the passer-by Littleton Q. Ataway, causing Arizona to draw his gun. Ataway took notice of this and drew his rifle, forcing Arizona to shoot Ataway dead. Arizona proceeded to ride south, seeking employment in New Orleans.

Once in New Orleans, Arizona met with Anthony Foreman, who told him that the Italian and Irish organized crime groups in New Orleans were shutting him out of their conspiracy, and hired him to ambush and kill the mobsters and O’Driscolls as they congregated in the city cemetery. Arizona proceeded to travel to the cemetery, where he killed the O’Driscolls Kyle O'Byrne, Frankie Doolan, Oliver Garrihy, Seán O'Doherty, Jason MacAtilla, and Kian Grehan, the mafiosi Sidonio Camarda, Santo Musarra, Antelmo Senna, Manlio Morea, Ivone Ciambrone, and Ezechiele Vitucci, and the Chinese woman Soong Wang-ling, chasing Vitucci into the marshes before shooting him in the back.

Arizona then returned to New Orleans, and he visited Kuo Chao’s gunsmith to buy more ammunition. He then visited Angus Elliston at the trolley station, and a grumpy Angus handed him a note asking him to recover a stolen stagecoach from the Louisiana Raiders. Arizona was able to intercept the stagecoach and kill the rebels Eleazn E. Bales, Lem Q. Christance, and their escorts before returning the stagecoach to the city.

Afterwards, Arizona left New Orleans in search of more work, and he stopped by the Aberdeen family’s farm, where the Aberdeens hired Arizona to recover one of their horses from the outlaws based at Lakay. Arizona came across the outlaws at night, and he ambushed them and killed Orie V. O'Handlen, Job I. Wait, Hartsel M. Sailors, and Garnett F. Males, along with their accomplices. He then brought the horse back to the farm for payment.

Arizona then rode north to Emerald Ranch, from which he caught a train back to New Orleans. Foreman once again hired him to ambush and kill his rival gangsters in New Orleans, and Arizona ambushed another meeting at the cemetery and killed the O’Driscolls Hunter O'Mooney, Kaiden Manning, Peadar MacGeoghagan, Lee MacGilroy, and Cameron Keane and the mafiosi Rosario Sacca, Leo Tramontozzi, Bindo Margo, Iacopone Buffa, and Pardo Ingemi.

Search for Capitale[]

To celebrate his successes, Arizona visited the fancy La Bastille Saloon in New Orleans for drinks. He then returned to Foreman for more work, as his brushes with the Mafia reminded him of Martelli’s search for the capitale. Martelli was in conflict with the corrupt tycoons of the Central Union Railroad, who had been dealing in Capitale, so Foreman had Arizona rob the railroad company’s supply wagon in Arkansas.

Arizona rode north to the Central Union Railroad Camp, where he found the guard Tommy Soule facing off against a wolf. Arizona shot Soule dead after Soule shot the wolf, and he discovered the supply wagon’s schedule before hiding Soule’s body and taking cover at a vantage point off the road. That night, when the wagon arrived, the guards Auther O. Bolinger and Ike Z. Rossiter searched for Tommy, only to be jumped by wolves. Arizona promptly snuck up to the supply wagon and rode off with it, leaving the guards to the wolves as he took the wagon to Joe Bedford’s hideout.

Arizona decided to accept another capitale contract from Joe, who told him of a homestead where the unsuspecting locals had been seen stashing capitale. Arizona rode to the homestead, where he knifed Alvy U. Grass and another guard to death before shooting the other guards, discovering the location of their capitale stash, and bringing the satchel to a dead drop in Emerald Ranch, where he was paid $41.25.

Now flushed with cash, Arizona rode south to a rural stable and bought a new stall for a third horse. He proceeded to buy a male reverse dopple roan for 18 gold bars, naming the horse “Spots” for his spotted sides; he then spent $125 on horse insurance and $7.50 on a care package. With $1,149.72 left, Arizona spent $875 on a bounty wagon and paid for vehicle insurance, reducing him to $149.72.

Arizona riding Spots through the Heartlands

Arizona then rode Spots across the Plains, hunting a California valley coyote along the way and bringing it back to the butcher in Valentine, where he sold it for $3.50. Arizona also visited the saloon for drinks before accepting a job offer from Alden, who hired him to escort a caravan from Valentine to Carmody Dell. Arizona rode shotgun for Murry F. Dumfee, and he shot several interceptors, including Chatfield V. Rohren, Denver O. Pitney, and Sampson R. McFarlan. The wagons both reached Carmody Dell in safety, and Arizona was paid for their successful delivery.

Arizona promptly rode south to Rhodes, wishing to return to Louisiana. Trelawny hired him to destroy a shipment of ammunition possessed by the Louisiana Raiders, and Arizona rode to Bolger Glade and ambushed the neo-Confederates. He killed the Raiders Rutherford D. Oldfather, Ephraim S. Snider, Ewin I. Essick, Obed C. Houghton, Antoine M. Byars, Barry O. Tolle, Weston Y. Krise, Sie I. Niedham, and Francois Y. Lowery, and he blew up their supplies, completing his contract.

Arizona proceeded to return to Rhodes, where he met with Foreman. Foreman hired Arizona to bushwhack a wagon as it rode north to Emerald Ranch; Arizona ambushed and killed Rutherford C. Patten, Brainard K. Pope, and Thurston Y. Herralson and diverted the wagon to Fort Wallace, where the US Army bought the supplies from him, mistaking him for the supply wagon drivers.

Arizona defending Strawberry in the rain

Arizona then found that Strawberry had put out a call to arms, as it was again coming under attack from cash-starved, heavily-armed yeomen. He and the townspeople killed Linwood Q. Clarkson, Waldon R. Neck, Carmi J. Withers, Levings Z. Statler, Estill F. Henkel, Harvy W. Gallion, Ringo U. Fry, Nehemiah H. Bronn, Floyd L. McKelvy, Cliff X. Parish, Cassidy Z.

Driner before the attacks subsided and Strawberry was left in peace.

Arizona riding up to the Tumbleweed barn

Days later, Arizona returned to the Southwest, where he met with Shaky at the New Mexico Bootheel and agreed to rustle a horse from Tumbleweed for him. Arizona rode to a barn at the edge of Tumbleweed, which he found was under heavy guard by Tumbleweed lawmen. Arizona ambushed them, initiating a massive shootout in which the lawmen Alfred I. Skadden, Ferdinand P. Pering, Friedrich D. Snowden, Sam I. Snead, Gideon V. Devore, Van J. Bukke, Ely Z. Loughman, McKinzie B. Waltz, Elston A. Bolton, Cris A. Spohn, Martin G. Bomgarth, Lee F. Bizzell, Boyce W. Spring, Lonie G. Hunchman, Tony B. Nieman, and Chalmers T. Finkenkeller were killed. Arizona then delivered the horse to the Scratching Post, where he was paid $25.15 for the horse’s delivery.

O'Donnell's men attempting to rescue him

Arizona then returned to Tumbleweed, where he decided to make up for his crime by taking on a bounty. He accepted the bounty on the bank car robber Paul O'Donnell, whom he tracked down to Rathskeller Fork. Arizona ambushed O’Donnell and his gang, killing Alivin W. Fetherkils, Alba V. Ayars, César Uribe Pedraza, and Prisco Galarza Jaimes before carrying off O’Donnell. O’Donnell’s gang members Findley W. Mallory, Sanford K. McLellan, and Adulfo Nava Jaimes attempted to rescue Arizona, but Arizona shot them dead and delivered O’Donnell to the Tumbleweed jail.

Arizona then accepted the bounty on John Ross, who stabbed a man to death during a failed robbery. Arizona found out that Ross was on a train running through the Southwest, so he hopped on the train and engaged in a shootout with Ross’ crew. Arizona killed Hartford K. Slatter, Clide X. Corney, Arnold Q. Songster, Helmer C. Keepers, and Reese E. Falch, as well as shooting the conductor Rudolph E. Pariet, before roping Ross. As he carried Ross off of the train, Arizona was peppered with machine-gun fire by the outlaw Joseph C. Shuford, who manned a Gatling gun on the back of the train. Arizona was forced to drop Ross and shoot back at Shuford, killing him, but a few of Ross’ men arrived on horseback and wounded Arizona before untying Ross. Arizona was forced to give chase upon recovering, and he found Ross fleeing alone on foot. Arizona ultimately caught up to Ross, only to watch as a cougar pounced onto Ross and tore him apart before his eyes. Arizona angrily shot the cougar dead, picked up Ross’ tattered body and mounted it on his horse, and brought the body back to Tumbleweed to collect his partial bounty.

Seeking another adventure, Arizona then signed up to escort Ceasar H. Hartding and Ennis W. Lutz’s caravan as it rode from Tumbleweed to Fort Mercer. Arizona killed the Del Lobo ambushers Alvero Vera Galindo, Miqueo Matías Gutiérrez, Agripino Ramírez Aguilera, Hervé Arévalo Quezada, and Lemon C. Metzger before escorting the caravan to the fort’s outskirts. There, however, Arizona was ambushed by the rival gunslingers Johnny Guerra and Erlinda Harris, who shot both of the wagon drivers dead with Carcano rifles and repeatedly wounded Arizona. Rather than repeatedly struggle to move the wagons out of the open without getting shot, Arizona chose to abandon his futile mission, now that the drivers were dead and the outlaw gang was in a position to snipe him from behind several rocks.

Arizona coming across the Del Lobos in Pike's Basin

Arizona instead decided to ride to MacFarlane’s Ranch to aid Bonnie MacFarlane in recovering the Armadillo undertaker’s wagon from the Del Lobos in Pike’s Basin. Arizona ambushed the Del Lobos in the valley, killing Malaquías Casárez Quiñónez, Dunstano Ávalos Oquendo, Bernabé Anguiano Robles, Joshua Zaragoza Patino, Conrado Vanegas Montemayor, Odín Benavides Arellano, Amós Curiel Maldonado, Madison Y. Krier, and Phillips N. Towda, and Arizona rode off with the wagon and delivered it to the Armadillo Church, where he was paid $27.35.

Arizona shooting the targets at Two Crows

That same night, Arizona rode to meet with James Langton at his camp, and Langton hired him to kill several targets at Two Crows. Arizona rode to the outlaw hideout and killed the outlaws Levander C. Epperson, Slim T. Witcher, Calímaco Crespo Ulloa, Quirico Chavarría Adomo, Milo Ibarra Balderas, Claudino Canales Veliz, Alejandro Salcedo Caraballo, Heráclito Alemán Camacho, Cleto Haro Muro, and Amadeo Perea Valencia, massacring the Del Lobos before receiving payment from Langton.

Arizona dynamiting the railroad's supply wagons

Remembering that Langton also offered jobs related to capitale, Arizona decided to continue Martelli’s war with the Central Union Railroad, and Langton had him ride to Monto’s Rest and destroy the railroad company’s supply convoy. Arizona rode to Nebraska and destroyed two wagons with dynamite as they were left behind at the riverside; he then rode to Monto’s Rest to destroy the remaining crates. At Monto’s Rest, Arizona boarded the railroad’s train, killed its guards Alvie B. Higgins, Desmond K. Mott, Aug K. Wages, and King Q. Booher, and destroyed the supply crate aboard the train. Arizona then jumped off the train and returned to the other crates, killing the guards Malvin J. Kirk, Dorr A. Evens, Elston G. Roop, Williams V. Wopkins, Aloysius C. Speering, and Wilfred R. Cavin before using fire bottles to destroy the remaining crates.

Arizona recovering the wagon from Strawberry

With this task complete, Arizona rode to a nearby train station, where Hector Barlow told him that a man was running a convoy from Riggs to Strawberry, only to run to him, halfway dead, saying that the convoy had been hijacked. Arizona agreed to intercept and recover the wagon, and he killed the O’Driscolls Ethan O'Sheehan, Cooper O'Nolan, and Andrew Maher before driving the wagon to Blackwater, killing several ambushers as he crossed into Texas. He was paid well on the wagon’s delivery, and Arizona decided to take a break from working for his contacts.

Arizona retrieving the East Watsons treasure

Instead, Arizona decided to replenish his coffers by working on the three treasure maps in his possession. He first rode to East Watsons in Colorado, finding a treasure chest containing $57.91. From there, he rode all the way to Louisiana to locate another treasure chest in Bluewater Marsh. There, Arizona was forced to fend off alligators with his shotgun and dirty his suit by swimming through the marsh water, but he ultimately found a treasure chest containing $118.97. Finally, he rode into the Arkansas countryside, riding to a railroad bridge over the Ouachita River. There, he found a treasure chest containing $137.68 and pocketed the money, raising his net worth to $763.31.

Arizona standing over a dead outlaw in a manger

With pockets full of money, Arizona decided to return to Texas upon hearing that MacFarlane’s Ranch was under attack from waves of outlaws again. Arizona and the armed defenders killed the outlaws Early E. Burditt, Lovett S. Hodgin, Hawkins S. Going, Maxwell Z. Backley, Mayberry E. Conoley, Mervin Q. Towne, Justin G. Witlemeyer, Derick V. Little, Herschel C. Hayne, Flem L. Sliger, Oakley P. Henery, Joseph B. Wappler, States G. Cimmen, Myron B. Weaser, Hamilton D. Notz, Abbott D. Holmgrain, Cyrill L. Pefrman, Finneus T.

Greenland, and several others.

Shortly after, Iron-Sights Jones joined Arizona and the others in holding off several more waves. Together with Iron-Sights, Arizona killed the outlaws Tobe J. Hanson, Bud V. Delamater, Simon J. Ketchmark, Leornard Q. Loree, Hughie V. Parham, Delbert A. Pickeral, Sylvan B. Brockman, Durant Y. Holroyd, Bedford J. Colwell, Harland R. Petray, Lorenza W. McShane, Zaremba R. Bettinger, Lake P. Gossard, Arick S. Biley, Eli H. Tipton, Rev X. Locke, Hyman V. Chesney, Joshua C. Lowder, Alward O. Sorrick, Brigham T. Whiteside, Leartus C. Nieman, Cleve H. Kunkel, Joseph Q. Rooney, Henry M. Walsey, Nils M. McSwan, Shepherd I. Keating, Rene N. Mizen, Joel A. Hodson, Zachariah G. Ferrald, and several others before the attacks subsided.

Arizona and Iron-Sights protecting Strawberry

Iron-Sights, who came to see himself as Strawberry’s protector, then asked Arizona to join him in defending Strawberry from similar waves of enemies. They aided the townsfolk in killing the outlaws Wylie K. Helton, Weldon F. Moore, James R. Rees, Nathan I. Wasson, Stern M. Bozarth, Essex B. Labryer, Cleo D. Starkweather, Elmore L. Pangle, Cliff J. Hogen, Abbie Q. Bagley, Reinhold P. Trisler, Jefferson H. Pearson, Jordon F. Stafford, Ceylon J. Dobbs, Shelby G. Vanhoosen, Archer T. Caricker, Zebulon X. Romines, Simmie N. Wohlheter, Landon O. Ferrill, Harve M. Blythe, Burns W. McGaw, Chaney A. Slutts, Selmer P. Pakley, Elihu U. Minick, Bernie R. Styles, Chancey D. Coulson, Lucus J. Pense, Eliza Z. Kepford, Edgar Y. Waite, Otto C. Wisong, Ed N. McCarthy, Huestes S. Sowle, Ennis O. Haslup, and several others, before the outlaw attacks subsided.

Arizona shooting a lawman during his theft of the horse

Afterwards, Arizona and Iron-Sights hunted bounties in the Southwest before deciding to hunt animals as well, and Arizona sold a $6.50 perfect pronghorn carcass and several other carcasses in Tumbleweed. Growing tired of the slim pickings from his hunting, however, Arizona persuaded Iron-Sights to join him in stealing more horses from Tumbleweed on behalf of Shaky. The two men ambushed the lawmen at the Tumbleweed barn, killing the lawmen Bennard A. Luddington, Lamar P. Coy, Chancy I. Streir, Royster P. Brabham, Elzie E. Balliman, Claiborne L. Vrooman, Cyrus L. Presho, Joshua D. Plunckett, Jeremiah F. Applegartts, Oakley E. Meridith, Laurence Y. Guenin, and a few others before he and Iron-Sights stole two horses from the barn and delivered them to the Scratching Post for payment.

Arizona locating the gang hideout at Benedict Point

Afterwards, Iron-Sights decided to return to hunting, while Arizona hopped on a train at daybreak and rode across the Southwest, searching for adventure. Upon noticing a plume of smoke rising in the distance, Arizona rode to Benedict Point, where he found that the Del Lobos had set up a hideout. Arizona ambushed the outlaws and killed Robley V. Carly, Desmond P. Vore, Dwight Q. Gentzler, Cletus W. Betts, Hampton U. Furrow, Boone Z. Tangney, Holloway H. Swane, Enzo Zamora Arellano, Belmiro Ortiz Razo, Nerio Roque Castillo, and Amaro Villaseñor Bustos before confronting the gang leader Dario Apodaca Montanez. Arizona agreed to spare him, but Iron-Sights arrived shortly after, looting the outlaws’ bodies before roping and hogtying Apodaca and leaving him on the railroad tracks. Growing impatient upon seeing no train in the distance, Iron-Sights ultimately decided to set Apodaca on fire instead, a cruel display which upset Arizona.

Arizona attacking the Del Lobo camp along the Rio Grande

Arizona proceeded to once again split with Iron-Sights, who resumed hunting, while Arizona rode to a high point in the area and searched for more bandits. He located a bandit camp along the Rio Grande, and he rode towards the camp, dismounted, and attacked the camp, with Iron-Sights later running in to support him. Arizona shot the outlaws Daniel V. Tivis, Billy Y. Bishop, and a few others before stealing a satchel of valuables and taking it to a dead drop at Benedict Point, completing his successful camp robbery.

Arizona looking out over the West from a high rock

Arizona then returned to a high rock to look out over the Southwest, and, seeing no opportunity for a shootout, he returned to Tumbleweed; by then, Iron-Sights had rode off. Arizona accepted the bounty on Samuel S. Morgan, who was wanted for providing home and hospitality to the “Brotherhood of Register Rock” gang. Arizona returned to Benedict Point, where he hid in the abandoned farmstead and awaited Morgan’s arrival. After Morgan arrived on his horse, Arizona killed the outlaws Amil K. Durk, Charles E. Magill, Warren Z. Anyan, Burns H. Tobey, Elonzo S. Huddleson, and a few others before lassoing the cowardly Morgan, mounting him on his horse, and taking him back to the Tumbleweed jail for his bounty.

That night, Arizona decided to grab a drink at the Tumbleweed saloon, where he noticed that the lawmen Royster G. Sliver and Evert V. Patch were sitting at a table in the corner on a packed night. Arizona bought a whiskey at the bar, but, upon bumping into the Black man Landon R. Pafford and causing Pafford to fall to the floor, Arizona started a fight with the local patrons. Arizona left the bar and, upon seeing Pafford and Gursham M. Raney following him, Arizona drew a gun. Surprisingly, Pafford drew a gun of his own, causing Arizona to shoot him dead in the saloon’s doorway; he also killed Raney when Raney drew on him as well.

This resulted in a shootout with the law, and Arizona was run out of town. Arizona returned moments later with a vengeance, torching the saloon with a fire bottle. He allowed the patrons to flee before shooting the lawmen Buster Y. Morford, Leotris R. Clinkenbeard, Abumen I. Kamrar, Briggs L. Farner, and Carol Y. Harley, among others, before the Mexican outlaw Leonarda García Adame intervened and shot Arizona. On recovering, Arizona rode across the Southwest to Blackwater, Texas, where he paid off his bounty.

Arizona and Pete marching to Blackwater's defense

Arizona battling outlaws on the streets of Blackwater

Several days later, Arizona heard that Blackwater’s police force was in need of assistance as a horde of scoundrels prepared to attack the city, so he took up arms and rode to the town’s defense. Arizona and the police killed the outlaws Hoy I. Bascue, Bartley V. Quackenbush, Cassie Z. Dolphin, Zebulon E. Burdick, Garfield O. Monger, Winston J. Lenon, Seldon D. Beier, Alton W. Anoers, Delevan S. Cassingham, Palmer H. Creeley, Isidore W. Mullany, Dehart N. Going, Alcana A. Lea, John X. Pringle, Buck B. Shapers, Corrin L. Drinkall, Bee S. Nourse, Rollo Y.

Winchell, Colon G. Petray, Andrew J. Autry, Lackey K. Uffs, Benson Z. Griffen, and Bernardo J. Armsbruster. Shortly after, Iron-Sights arrived to help Arizona, and the two of them teamed up and went on to kill the outlaws Alsey G. Wells, Clide T. Center, Raswell U. Godard, Aleck Q. Sturdy, Neal U. Douds, Merl D. Robrtson, Squire Y. Mount, Gray D. Kyd, Clara S. Bradman, Orla S. Beckley, Jerry H. Landy, Cheyenne P. Sabin, Leonidas I. Cronk, Ott Y. Haslip, Sibalt R. Canothus, Alberto W.

Rule, Orim Q. Biran, Sie R. Morland, and Laster W. Lipe. After Iron-Sights left Blackwater, Arizona helped to fend off the last attackers before retiring for the day as well.

Arizona sneaking up on the camp in Cholla Springs

Days later, Arizona traveled to the Southwest, where Shaky hired him to ambush an outlaw camp near Belen, New Mexico and kill several of his rivals there. Arizona attacked the Del Lobos that afternoon, killing Antonio Duran Olivárez, Dositeo Briseño Orellana, Conrado Casárez Botello, Argento Corona Alonzo, Plácido Guajardo Jimínez, Balbino Agosto Enríquez, Agila Vera Trejo, Alvaro Olivas Farías, and Erwin T. Skelton, before killing the last escaping outlaw with a sniper rifle and collecting his reward.

Arizona then rode to meet with James Langton, as he wished to finish off Martelli’s conflict with the Central Union Railroad. Langton informed Arizona that he would be kidnapping the director of the railroad company, and he would have to interrogate his foreman to find out his location. Arizona ambushed the foreman at a work site at a bridge near Victoria, Texas, killing the guards Aloysius B. Stevens, Laban A. Gagnebin, and a few others before capturing Virgie O. Beach and forcing him to reveal that his boss was at MacFarlane’s Ranch.

Arizona rode over to MacFarlane’s Ranch, where he found the railroad director Dewey B. Derdon setting out on his train, mocking Arizona for attempting to capture him. Arizona hopped on the train, killed the guards Widdons Y. Helms, Bobbie Q. Bohannon, and a few others, and lassoed Derdon. Arizona shot the train driver dead as the train ran through a tunnel, and he was forced to carry Derdon out of the tunnel, down a cliffside, and to his horse in the desert valley below, before taking Derdon to the Armadillo Church to be delivered to Martelli. Arizona delivered Derdon for $91.87, completing Martelli’s railroad contract.

Arizona riding to apprehend Clyde Turner

Afterwards, Arizona decided to return to bounty hunting, accepting the bounty on the outlaw Clyde Turner, who had single-handedly made the road from Blackwater to New Orleans unsafe to travel. Arizona rode north to Twin Rocks, where he ambushed the outlaws there and killed Dejay G. Coughenour, Felipe L. Gottlieb, Dedrick L. Burkhead, Boss L. Neitherom, Carlos G. Brinley, Rene B. Samons, Thom C. Huldon, and Christian Y. Mounts before chasing Turner out of his safehouse, lassoing and hogtying him, and taking him to the Armadillo jail for his $20.25 bounty.

Arizona pursuing the Black brothers' train

Confident in his bounty hunting abilities, and wishing to use his bounty hunter’s wagon, Arizona decided to accept the double-bounty on the stagecoach robbers Andrew and Zachariah Black. Arizona tracked them down to a moving train, and he found that his wagon was too slow to keep up with the train. He ultimately summoned his horse and caught up to the train, where he shot at the outlaws on the rear car before boarding the train. He accidentally tied up the wrong outlaw, mistaking him for Andrew, before shooting the real Andrew dead. Arizona proceeded to shoot Elza C. Wonnell before capturing Zachariah and throwing the driver out of the train. Arizona summoned his slow wagon and loaded Andrew’s body and Zachariah onto the wagon, but he ran out of time as he neared Tumbleweed that evening, leading to Arizona never receiving payment for the two bounties.

Incensed at this betrayal, Arizona rode into Tumbleweed with violence on his mind. Upon finding the first lawman he could, Arizona shot the man, Columbus W. Freres, in the head. Arizona proceeded to engage in a shootout with the local law and the US Marshals, killing Pinkston Y. Galitz, Chicago I. Mugele, Prescott Y. Swingler, Lovet E. Twist, Artemas D. Tempelton, Roby H. Van Campen, Walker F. Boler, Blas L. Frazee, Irven N. Armon, Manuel L. Lehman, Tharington O. Colburn, Dominick J. Kinnamon, Emma C. McEume, Chauncy Y. Land, Shadrack I. Helleck, and Conley B. Tiffey. After being wounded by the law, Arizona decided to tame his anger and attempt to capture another bounty.

Arizona decided to go after Jason Alverson, an illicit alcohol seller, and he followed him to Fort Mercer. There, Arizona shot his way through the outlaws Jimmie B. Hardman, Bernie G. Hamlin, Oluff E. Billeter, Jospeh C. Hortze, Gerard N. Malott, Thurman C. Hinkley, Sion Z. Abbott, Thurlow I. Buller, and Lorenza N. Mathies, but Alverson was able to escape as Arizona dealt with his minions.

Arizona ambushing the revenue agents near Tumbleweed

Arizona, again left empty-handed, had a glimpse of hope when he noticed smoke on the horizon near Tumbleweed. Upon riding up to the smoke, he realized that it was a checkpoint of revenue agents, so Arizona ambushed them. Arizona gunned down the agents Russell J. Shaff, Abdon W. Clauson, Lovie K. Pendergast, Ely B. Bosserman, Hopkins X. Burket, Gillam W. Drawbridge, Bedford D. Wolgast, and Zollie Y. Kropp. The outlaw for whom the agents was waiting waved at Arizona upon riding past him, realizing that he had helped him out.

Arizona looking out over the Southwest and the Rio Grande valley

Arizona proceeded to ride into the desert to kill some time, riding his horse Spots to the top of a ridge to look out over the desert and the Rio Grande. He also ate venison for lunch, patted his horse and fed Spots some hay, and engaged in the shooting of birds for sport. That night, Arizona rode to Twin Rocks after noticing a campfire there, but the settlement was abandoned, so Arizona ate canned peas for dinner and decided to ride out of town after resting for a while. Arizona then rode to Armadillo, where he grabbed a drink at the saloon, and he rode aimlessly across the Southwest before deciding to visit Langton.

Langton informed Arizona that capitale was flooding New Orleans, and that saloons playing host to criminals and their underhand deals were stashing capitale; he then opined that capitale would be forgotten about in a year or two, after it was all destroyed. Arizona rode to New Orleans, where he hit up three saloons to steal their capitale stashes. Arizona killed the saloon goers Loring N. Berrell, Elliott F. Shamp, Eleazn C. Shriver, Stern O. Tidyman, Starling N. Stimson, Buril C. Parcel, and Festus Y. Cleaver before stealing their stashes, and he also shot the policeman Oran U. Beals, Dana Q. Piersol, and Norval J. Works while evading them and bringing the stashes to a dead drop in the cemetery. Upon delivering all three stashes, Arizona was paid $31.87 by Martelli.

Now that he was in New Orleans, Arizona decided to visit Anthony Foreman, who hired him to rescue a former female companion of his, who had been captured by the Raiders and held hostage at the freight yards. Arizona came to her rescue, killing the Raiders Lamar A. Crossett, Francois V. Bouton, Crispin C. Lornson, Claud B. McConnell, Israel B. Archard, Harmon P. Daugherty, Wenzel P. Huddleson, Hughie X. Crimm, John K. Wench, and Jay T. Bixby while rescuing the woman and taking her to Caliga Hall. Arizona was paid $30.66 for the delivery of the woman.

Arizona driving a wagon to Braithwaite Manor

That night, Arizona rode to the nearby town of Rhodes, where Alden hired him to escort a convoy heading from Rhodes to Braithwaite Manor. Arizona rode shotgun for the Black wagon drivers Hughie S. Robbins and Jerome C. Nelson, and he killed the Raiders Aurthur C. Drumm, Essex Q. Tait, Delvin S. Walther, and Thacher G. Forsaith when they tried to ambush the convoy. Nelson was killed after falling behind, so, after escorting Robbins’ wagon to the manor, Arizona rode back on his horse and brought Nelson’s wagon to the manor for payment. That night, Arizona decided to rest from his work.

Days later, after laying low in Texas, Arizona met up with Iron-Sights and decided to investigate the Aurora Basin, where he had heard that one of Horley's associates was looking to give out work. Arizona and Iron-Sights chanced upon Sean MacGuire's cabin, where Sean initially mistook the two men for robbers. However, he realized that they were merely gunslingers in search of work, and he explained that he had lost touch with his friends in the Van der Linde Gang. He then proposed that the two rob a stagecoach running out of Aurora Basin, and the two outlaws headed out to ambush the coach. Iron-Sights arrived first, killing the guards, and Arizona soon caught up and forced Hosie C. Chappel to hand over the money satchels. The two men then evaded the law by riding through Tall Trees and dropping the satchels off at MacGuire's cabin, receiving payment and making a new connection.

The Del Lobos preparing to hang Marshal Davies and Sheriff Freeman

Shortly after, Iron-Sights decided that they should travel west to New Mexico to meet up with Old Man Jones, who had urgent news for them. When they met with Jones, Jones frantically said that the Del Lobos were going to hang "young Tom Davies" at Tumbleweed, and he had Arizona and Iron-Sights follow him on horseback as he rode to Tumbleweed, explaining along the way that Davies had crossed a line by shooting Alfredo Montez, and that his men were out for blood.

Arizona and Iron-Sights storming Tumbleweed

When Arizona and Iron-Sights arrived in Tumbleweed, they found the Del Lobos guarding the abandoned town. They shot their way through the outlaws, killing the Del Lobos' leaders Fanuel Vallejo Badillo, Arsenio Quiñónez Blanco, and Othello Garza Carbajal and their henchmen Robustiano Baca Jaime, Fulco Bustos Arenas, Niceto Sepúlveda Olmos, Augusto Uribe Aguirre, Amable Olvera Zúñiga, Carlos Cantú Raya, Flaviano Olivo Ramos, Oliverio Miranda Cadena, Julio Domínguez Alcantar, Natanael Leyva Mora, Arcadio Briseño Galindo, Sunders F. Weber, Tyler W. McNurty, clearing the town of outlaws. Iron-Sights and Arizona shot the nooses tied around the lawmen's necks and rescued them, and Old Man Jones promptly arrived with a wagon, having the rescued lawmen hop on the wagon as Arizona and Iron-Sights covered their escape.

Arizona, Iron-Sights, and Jones escaping from Tumbleweed

Arizona and Jones sat on the back of the wagon as Iron-Sights followed on his horse; Jones and Freeman drove the wagon. Iron-Sights rode ahead of the wagon to shoot the Del Lobos as they prepared to ambush the escaping lawmen, while Arizona sat on the back of the wagon and fired at pursuers with a pistol; he used his other arm to hold onto the wagon. The two gunslingers shot the Del Lobos Livino Madera Salcedo, Lalo Canales Zelaya, Salvador Gracia Marín, Clementino Nieves Espinal, Gerrit K. Anderton, and Dexter L. Stanter, among many others who attempted to overwhelm the wagon as it was halted in its escape by a stopping train.

The lawmen thanking Arizona and Iron-Sights

Ultimately, the lawmen were able to drive the wagon a safe distance away from Tumbleweed, where Jones lamented the bloodshed, and Freeman said that, while he didn't like requiring help, he confessed that he needed Arizona and Iron-Sights, and he thanked them for their help. Davies then paid the gunslingers for their assistance, and he and Freeman rode off, with Freeman returning to Tumbleweed to resume his duties as Sheriff, and Davies returning to his duties as Marshal.

Arizona ambushing the Vance brothers' hideout

Arizona and Iron-Sights decided to return to Tumbleweed to resume their work as bounty hunters, accepting the bounties on the murderers Mathew and Warren Vance. The bounty hunters tracked down the outlaws to Rathskeller Fork, where they planned on ambushing the Vance brothers on their arrival. They killed Yuri Guardado Pina, Marcello Sedillo Bermúdez, Calímaco Covarrubias Pineda, Gay Salinas Romo, Risingt H. McConnaughy, Rev M. Low, and a few other outlaws, but one of the Vance brothers escaped as Iron-Sights and Arizona dealt with their henchmen, and Arizona managed to capture another one and take him back to the Tumbleweed sheriff's office for payment.

Arizona riding behind Iron-Sights' wagon

Arizona and Iron-Sights then visited Sheriff Freeman and agreed to help him recover Benedict Rowlands' wagon from Cueva Seca. The two hired guns ambushed and killed the Del Lobos Valente Tirado Samaniego, Emeterio Paez Arellano, Felix Carreón Acevedo, Amalio Barela Sedillo, Conrado Aguirre Badillo, Adolphus Arteaga Herrera, Arán Sepúlveda Armijo, Ebenezer U. Neitherom, Ebenezer U. Neitherom, Bensen E. Kevan, and Sterling E. Maris, starting the ambush with thrown dynamite. As Iron-Sights recovered the wagon and drove it back to Tumbleweed, Arizona followed behind on horseback and dismounted at a Del Lobo barricade to kill the ambushers there. Afterwards, Arizona rode into town, where he and Iron-Sights were paid for the wagon's delivery.

Arizona then visited the saloon for a celebratory drink, and, as he exited, he came across a lawman, Ellison F. Enwright, riding into town. Enwright, annoyed at Arizona walking in the path of his horse, asked him, "You got a problem with the law or something?" After Enwright insulted Arizona, Arizona shot Enwright from his horse, initiating a shootout with the law. Arizona shot the local lamwen Le L. Weeks, Adolf N. Manings, and Alvie X. Ensel and the US Marshals Irvine A. Cuscaden, Alta Q. Short, Ossian R. Hazel, Emerson M. Borschell, Derick H. Cart, Severt L. Tackett, Marthean F. Brisendine, Jobe Y. Matson, Clarance G. Ahlbright, Leo T. Mull, Buck S. Halleck, Gray I. Gager, Humphrey L. Cheney, Collins T. McNamara, Lovell G. Mancher, Constantine C. Yerby, Pratt X. Colling, Felipe Z. Schlopman, Bertrand W. Heine, Sedgwick A. Neff, Ralph U. Haggert, Hill C. Etherton, Leonard N. Behr, Clara D. Pickeral, Elgie R. Rasser, Malden A. Matthey, Ott K. Lemon, Chauncey B. Culpeper, Marcus A. Hofmeister, Arnold P. McMokin, Claire S. Remington, Good K. Jump, Agustavus H. Hower, Dan Y. Couffer, Levin A. Leidigh, Gilbert H. Stines, Wike A. Prindle, Gottleib F. Sturtevant, Fayette J. Mahler, Carin E. Peoples, Stephen A. Fulliton, Purl E. Marks, Odie P. Delaughter, Wycoff N. Moushong, and Bob W. Person.

Arizona shooting Leibovitz's accomplices

Arizona then evaded the law, and he decided to redeem himself by accepting the bounty on Susan Leibovitz, who was wanted for assault. Arizona rode into the desert and came across Leibovitz's campsite, where he killed her accomplices Seldon Z. Bledsoe, Lemon L. Breckon, Elias U. Campfield, Garret C. Fort, David A. Zeigh, Orville N. Witte, and Paris D. Statia before lassoing Leibovitz and apprehending her. Arizona proceeded to deliver Leibovitz to the jail, where he received her bounty payment from Sheriff Freeman.

Arizona entering the Blackwater sheriff's office

Afterwards, Arizona rode to the Great Plains of Texas to meet with Sean MacGuire, who asked Arizona had met his associate Fineas Moss, who was about to be hanged in Blackwater. He then hired Arizona to break into the Blackwater jail and rescue Moss, and Arizona rode into town and found the policeman Jeptha Y. Warford standing guard. Arizona held Warford at gunpoint and forced him to open Moss' jail cell, after which Warford attempted to shoot Arizona. Arizona shot Warford dead and escorted Moss out of the station, but Moss told Arizona that he had to grab some personal items, forcing Arizona to hold off the police as Moss rummaged around for his stash.

Arizona rescuing Fineas Moss from the law

Arizona shot the local policemen Wilhelm R. Eagy, Arvin Q. Ruhl, Coe I. Ripley, Branch L. Dickens, Asberry S. Stoelting, Arno S. Oliver, Lige R. McElhose, Alois C. McFadden, Pat N. William, Toy F. Lawler, Little M. Wadling, and Elvin M. Hoake and the US Marshals Jordan L. Hickens, Merl J. Finny, and Randle I. Stroman on Blackwater's streets before Moss was ready to join Arizona in escaping. Arizona had Moss hop on the back of his horse as he rode into the wilderness, pursued by police along the way; Arizona was able to ward them off with his rifle before delivering Moss to his hideout. Moss reunited with his accomplices Emory Z. Gideon and Newton A. Favor, and Arizona was paid for his help.

Arizona walking past the dead outlaws' destroyed goods

Arizona proceeded to ride to Flatneck Station to meet up with The Boy, who hired him to travel to Bard's Crossing and smash up the stolen goods of a rival gang. Arizona rode to to the outlaws' hideaway and killed the gunslingers Desmond C. Fitzpatrick, Bart V. Plemons, Fay B. Philpot, Arvin E. Sides, Jonothan Y. Jamison, Esta H. Lonnegan, General S. Saltzman, and Rolla Q. Reigel before destroying their contraband; he was then paid $11.72 for his help.

A shaved Arizona preparing to defend Valentine

Afterwards, Arizona traveled to Valentine and treated himself to a haircut and an outfit change. Upon hearing that outlaws were due to attack Valentine again, Arizona volunteered his skills for the town's defense, and he helped to arrange the townspeople in strateigc positions before the waves began. Arizona killed the outlaws Rob W. McConnel, Leartus F. Noll, Gale V. Sibert, Osborne P. Hardman, Cephus K. Neuzel, Donnie S. Coyle, Willard O. Darnold, Luke H. Elenger, Rome C. Bearss, Pearl D. Sauls, Jewell R. Gester, Anson U. Burmell, Pink L. Parody, Roberts O. Hanthorn, Claiborne F. Jordian, Marthean F. Dannenberg, Wycoff I. Mefford, Courtland N. Sewell and Coy R. Alves, forcing the remainder to flee.

Weeks later, Arizona reunited with Little Pete after returning to Tumbleweed in the Southwest, where he watched as Pete's shenanigans once again led to a shootout with the law. Arizona watched, and was sometimes forced to participate, as Pete killed the lawmen Basil H. Stockman, Noah X. Lankford, Malh C. Getchell, Emmitt P. Hartman, Paris B. Ricker, Layton G. Maddox, Benedick H. Graul, Vester L. Karschner, Moses J. Weier, Vernie U. Conkling, McCoy C. Burkhead, Hezekiah L. Gosney, Bluford E. Goss, Adrien N. Cobbey, Jesse Z. Stuart, Louis Z. Maher, Lew I. Cathcart, Braxton X. Meredith, Orren D. Fasig, Fadiar Z. Shoop, Winfield J. Parsons, Lenard R. Roques, Arick O. Westman, Gregeno N. Krummack, Carsten E. Packard, Rasmus A. Duffey, Elva H. Bradman, Lone M. Fauss, Asher K. Clelland, Fitzhugh L. Cogne, Vernon W. Tubbs, Ralph U. Rouse, Slade G. Fallan, Ethan W. Ghering, Ed Y. Sowards, and Spurgeon S. Crowley. After this large shootout, the two outlaws temporarily parted ways to lay low for a considerable time.

Arizona shooting outlaws near Valentine's hotel

After several days of laying low, Arizona returned to the cattle town of Valentine, where he visited the saloon, cut his hair, and styled his moustache. He then volunteered his services to the town when word spread that hordes of outlaws once again planned to descend on the town. Arizona and the townspeople killed the outlaws Harlow G. Rawls, Bat R. Mullen, Linwood W. Blackstock, Pablo Z. Baumbaugh, Riply Z. Homesley, Aug Z. Zeilinger, Zaremba O. Farley, Rutherford S. Coverly, Fayette Q. Bayley, Zalmon U. Tanburg, Johathan O.

Gaitwood, Noah Z. Pinckney, Ebb X. Mound, and Alvie D. Wigton before the outlaws ceased their attacks and peace was restored to Valentine.

With the town saved, Arizona decided to treat himself to a drink. He drew the ire of the passer-by Delvin V. Renean after walking in the path of his horse, and he pulled his gun on Renean after Renean insulted him. Renean instead warned Arizona about the consequences of shooting him, and Renean rode off peacefully, causing Arizona to stand down. Arizona then entered the saloon, where he drank with the Indian outlaw Knoton Rhodes before parting amicably.

Arizona then decided to visit "The Boy", as he hoped to engage in more gunplay and make more money. The Boy had Arizona travel to the Cornwall oil depot and destroy its supplies to punish the company for not paying him for protection, and Arizona killed the guards Dillman P. Frendenberg, Lorenzo N. Adell, Seymour D. Baltin, Oscar Z. Morison, Eben L. Limes, Bernard U. Maetz, Micheal U. Harbaugh, and Gaston A. Gehrig. He also shot the Cornwall Company's oil tank until it exploded, and destroyed the company's supply wagons by shooting adjacent boxes of explosives. For these efforts, he was paid $5.86.

Arizona coming across the gang at Limpany

Afterwards, Arizona returned to Valentine to receive work from Alden Carruthers, who told him that a lost stagecoach had been last seen in the region of some "rather uncouth types" in Kansas. Arizona rode to the ghost town of Limpany, where he ambushed and killed the O'Driscolls Matthew O'Rorke, Colm Hackett, Caleb Greene, Dean Whelan, Philip Farley, Dáithí Laverty, Aidan O'Lee, and Brendan O'Casey before recovering the stagecoach. Arizona then drove the stagecoach to Riggs Station, where he was paid for its recovery.

Arizona attacking the outlaws in Pike's Basin

Having exhausted his job options in Valentine, Arizona decided to ride southwest to Texas for more work. He met with James Langton at his rural camp in central Texas, and Langton hired Arizona to kill a rival set of outlaws who were based at Pike's Basin. Arizona entered the warren of canyons and wiped out the outlaws Romano Botello Baca, Paco Esquivel Abrego, Misael Jaimes Ulloa, Gabelo Aguirre Casárez, Anías Calderón Zambrano, Ramon Jaramillo Bermúdez, Abati Mercado Cárdenas, Uberto Castro Ordóñez, Roby Q. Hutchinson, Sumner Z. Bruna, Alba F. Monhan, Kay Y. Alderman, Marcus Q. Hagan, Benjaman M. Charlton, Gilman F. Hawkins, Braxton G. Reece, Bicente V. Failing, Hamlin J. Moraday, Grady G. O'Brian, Joel H. Horricks, Felton G. Keach, Gertrude R. Hurlbut, Gay S. Cooly, Lena I. Glynn, Ellwood Q. Gestwite, Josuah E. Linscott, and Friedrich Q. Brotherton; on occasion, he rode along the canyon cliffsides and used his Rolling Block Rifle to pick off fleeing victims.

Arizona firing on the revenue agents at Bearclaw Camp

With the canyons cleared of Langton's rivals, Arizona decided to ride to Blackwater, where he heard that Little Pete was planning on joining him. Along the way, he came across a shootout between outlaws and revenue agents at Bearclaw Camp, and he intervened, finishing off the last revenue agents before the outlaws fled; he then observed the bodies of the revenue agents Oral N. Paine, Clarbourn Z. Laudon, and Pearley K. Dawes and the outlaws Bryant F. Holmgrain, Elton D. Gardner, Parley Z. Asterhour, and Raswell P. McCormick.

Arizona drinking with Blackwater's elite

Arizona proceeded to ride to Blackwater to meet up with Pete, first visiting the general store to stockpile ammunition, canned corned beef, and other rations. He also waited for Pete at the saloon, where he drank next to several wealthy patrons. Pete coincidentally visited Blackwater, but he never met up with Arizona; instead, Iron-Sights met with Arizona in an alleyway, and they decided to join forces to protect MacFarlane's Ranch from attack.

Arizona and a masked Iron-Sights arriving at the ranch

Arizona and Iron-Sights rode to West Texas and joined the armed farmhands in preparing for the outlaw attack. They helped the farmhands kill Manning V. Marseal, Ami O. Ellam, Alvi I. Oppie, Sherwood R. Pressley, Sandusky B. Dunlap, Burton Z. Welsh, Dillman D. Edsell, Jonah G. Vaughn, Gale C. Moats, Wrias G. Buterbaugh, Luther E. Dreher, Purl W. Shappell, Calaway F.

Milroy, and the farmers were able to repel the outlaw attacks, in spite of most of the defenders being killed or wounded.

Days later, Arizona reunited with Little Pete, and the two of them decided to join the defenders of Fort Mercer in fighting off waves of outlaws. They and the armed defenders of the fort shot the outlaws Elgie N. McCerred, Seth S. Ragains, Ruffin N. Tucker, Laurie M. Roggen, Montgomery K. Klump, Shade U. Lilley, Ted R. Holoday, Irving J. Scherb, Claiborne F. Troxell, Everard N. Gentry, Alexis V. Shores, Milas V. Beebe, Noys U. Noll, Blair W. Bulger, Humphrey S. Abrams, Hamilton F. Ferris, Matthias A. Menhenett, Loring P.

Greegeory, Orson I. Modlin, and Ferman T. Greason, repelling the enemy attacks before parting ways and laying low.

Days later, Arizona hunted down a treasure along the Colorado River, retrieving over $100 and a few gold pieces. Now that he was in Colorado, Arizona decided to ride to Strawberry, where he heard that hordes of outlaws were preparing to assault the town. Arizona joined the townspeople in killing the outlaws Rodney A. Ryker, Norman X. Huery, Anna F. Fleck, Darrell S. Hasenfeatz, Alto J. Behthold, Cheyenne F. Vanderhoof, Adulbert Q. Strond, Lawton S. John, Hilliard X. Miercier, Bernardo R. Robins, Joeph D. Holderness, Isaiah T. Markland, Hence N. Ogl, Chesley C. Oedaker, Clayborn F. Billitter, Briggs N. Reiman, Elva D. Callihan, Stern U. Hober, Hayes B. Bomgardner, Hunter T. Gallion, Benjiman N. Mayhew, Eugene R. Sayre, Theophile Q. Thark, Allison F. Says, Eli P. Breooster, Vincent S. Swan, Lenard T. Belknap, Emile S. Bruner, Myer A. Leicht, Bennet J. Yecgh, Laurel Q. Waddle, Leartus J. Craus, Anderson O. Rashaw, Merritt P. Clinton, Harlan R. Walling, Artemas E. Akers, Verne Z. Clements, Volney S. Rowles, Siels P. Crowfoot, and Holloway F. Cummins before the attacks subsided and Arizona was rewarded for his efforts.

Arizona then decided to set out for the Southwest, riding through the Rockies and across the Great Plains into the desert. There, he met up with Shaky, who hired him to dry-gulch a group of Del Lobos who were camping out north of Mercer Station. Arizona attacked their campsite, killing German D. Barnell, Sid O. Brunner, Buddy G. Scudder, Gregory S. Kepford, Aureliano Ramírez Bernal, Pablo Moreno Mora, Garcilaso Hidalgo Linares, and Folco Palomino Ortiz. Arizona killed most of the outlaws at their camp, while using his sniper rifle to kill those who attempted to flee.

Afterwards, he rode to Tumbleweed to restock on ammunition. While there, he noticed a pillar of smoke in the distance, and he rode over to the campsite and came across a shootout between a rival outlaw and some poachers; he looted the bodies of the slain poachers Boyce T. Vete, Chatfield P. Hilzard, Bayard G. Pool, Horatio R. Dearing, Lew R. Foskett, and Abijah D. Spry. Afterwards, Arizona met with Old Man Jones and paid him to put out a good word about him to atone for his lost honor, and he enjoyed a nighttime ride through the desert before deciding to rest.

Weeks later, Arizona received word that the Skinner Brothers were planning to attack Adler Ranch in Montana, and he rode to Adler Ranch from Micah's Hideout. He and the local farmhands took up arms and killed the Skinners Catahecassa Nichols, Motega Wallace, Helaku Moon, Sicheii Conway, Odakota Fleming, Gerard D. Wadling, Alvi K. Leet, Donaciano J. Hammons, Claud D. Pell, Irvine N. Swingler, Authur Y. Reese, Jonn U. Zoss, Mell R. Hudgeons, Fed U. Tillman, and Calhoun Q. Blackson.

Honorless outlaw[]

Weeks later, Arizona reunited with Little Pete near MacFarlane's Ranch, where he came across Little Pete ambushing and murdering passers-by. Arizona witnessed Pete's murders of Delevan G. Hatto, Manford N. Vincent, Jasper V. Ellsworth, Weldon W. Nutt, Hyman X. Monterey, Arma X. Petray, Ossian I. Ess, and Lorenz B. Leaviatt, and, shortly after, Iron-Sights Jones arrived to join the duo. Iron-Sights hijacked a train stopping at the ranch and called on Arizona and Pete to ride away with him, and the trio traveled into the Southwest on the stolen freight train.

The trio halted after Pete noticed a campfire in the distance, and, upon investigation, they discovered a bandit camp in Cholla Springs. The trio ambushed and killed the outlaws Lealdas Z. Mayfield, Hayman W. Willms, Calender U. Hudlow, Gus B. Howland, Hurley O. Jenkins, Vern P. Hiltman, Adelardo Escobar Casárez, Quintín Navarrete Saldivar, and Venceslao Roldán Zayas, and Pete proceeded to torch the derelict campsite.

Arizona, Iron-Sights, and Pete then returned to their train and continued on towards Tumbleweed, where Iron-Sights stopped the train so that Arizona and Pete could purchase more ammunition. While Arizona and Pete were at the store, several bounty hunters descended upon the train, and Iron-Sights called out for his comrades. Arizona and Pete returned to the train and helped Iron-Sights fight off the bounty hunters, with Iron-Sights driving the train, and the bounty hunters failing to kill any of the outlaws. Ultimately, the outlaws were able to kill all of the hunters - Guilford E. Carmon, Julious U. Mundt, Oren G. Trump, Lawyer U. Hatch, Hank V. Borschell, Seaborn E. Voss, and Shirley T. Maxtead - after a concerted effort.

Arizona, Iron-Sights, and Little Pete riding through the desert

With the bounty hunters dead, Iron-Sights proposed that the trio visit the Rockies, as he was unsure if Pete had ever seen them. Arizona had Iron-Sights steal a covered wagon for him, and Arizona drove the wagon as Iron-Sights rode shotgun and Pete precariously attempted to balance in the back. As the trio rode north, through the Texas plains, Iron-Sights shared the story of how he had fallen in love with a white woman named Sarah before being chased off by a lynch mob sent in by her parents, how he fled to Louisiana and joined a gang of Black outlaws, came across the girl and her parents on the street (from a distance), reunited with the girl after bringing his friends with him, and watched as his friend John Davis accidentally broke her neck during intercourse, before Davis blamed her death on Iron-Sights, resulting in his imprisonment. As the trio crossed into Colorado, they were beset by bounty hunters, but they were able to outrun them and make their way into the mountains, where they laid low.

Pete walking past Zack R. Gastinean's body

Weeks later, Arizona and Little Pete reunited in the Blackbone Forest, where Pete inaugurated their reunion by murdering Zack R. Gastinean on the roadside near Grand Junction. Pete gruesomely shot off Gastinean's head before stealing his horse, and Arizona suggested that they ride to Mama Watson's cabin to find some work, and to allow for Pete to whet his violent appetite for mutual gain.

Arizona and Pete visited Mama Watson at her home, and she revealed that one of her couriers, Colt B. McDurmeth, had been captured and was being held at the Strawberry jail. Arizona and Pete rode into Strawberry to free him, and they entered into a shootout with the local law, killing the deputies Houston Q. Bunnels, Eathan L. Packard, Asher V. Trapp, Delmer Y. Joakem, Jewell O. Derrick, Oran W. Radish, Bennet O. Benheur, Crispin V. McWinthey, Johny O. Guynn, Eugene C. Privette, Ebinezer F. Bannester, Mills F. Johns, Fyra D. Gorham, Page T. Crossley, Douglass D. Kleinheller, Douglass D. Kleinheller, Hence M. Philleo, Micajah P. Strain, Micajah P. Strain, Anthony F. Vinson, Roger A. Cypher, Granvill X. Chierhart, Laverne M. Millhous, Ossie H. Oyt, Ebb J. Crowder, Joshua Z. Blathner, Israel H. Loving, Lou L. Bremer, Alem X. Smithurst, Eliza D. Poeper, Arley B. Boschutte, Manwell P. Shiner, Dink E. Wormwood, Irvin M. Hercher, Cecil Q. Smiles, Finch Z. Olsun, Williard R. Archer, Diedrick P. Lanonon, Enizi D. McCarley, Ernesto C. Ruby, Clide O. Lorr, Hank D. Clara, Nels Y. Kuntz, Brice E. Soufflat, and Spenser L. Creasey.

During the shootout, Pete held off the law as Arizona stormed the sheriff's office, obtained the sheriff's keys from his table, and released McDurmeth from his cell. Arizona and Pete switched positions, with Arizona holding off the law as Pete attempted to escape with the prisoner. During the ensuing escape, Pete accidentally trampled McDurmeth with his horse, and McDurmeth - whose health had suffered during his imprisonment - died upon falling. Nevertheless, Arizona and Pete remained behind in the town to finish off the lawmen who were responding to the shootout, and Pete also shot the townspeople Wayman N. Keedy, Harbin N. Coover, Garnet N. Elkin, and Lota Y. Slate.

Arizona and Pete made their way out of town after killing the lawmen, and Arizona decided that they should ride east. Near Cripple Creek, they came across a disturbing scene of cougars baying at the stranded settler Clemente T. Dewitt, who had climbed up a tree to escape them. Arizona and Pete proceeded to shoot at the cougars, with Pete using flaming shotgun ammunition. Dewitt thanked the two gunslingers for their help, but as he dismounted the tree branch, the fire spread and engulfed him, accidentally killing him. Shocked at this unfortunate incident, Arizona and Pete pressed on through the wilderness, and, near Crawford, Nebraska, Pete murdered the wagon driver David J. Cox, only to find that his wagon only seated one man.

Arizona and Pete robbing Six Point Cabin

The two outlaws came across Six Point Cabin as they rode east, and they found an opportunity to rob the homestead. They shot the ranchers Elmore J. Stillwell, Noyes G. Scrofford, Luke A. Lininger, Hayes U. Sebastian, Hermann B. Cooney, Sid Y. Nincehelser, and Ernesto Q. Diener, and Pete stood guard as Arizona located a satchel containing $30 in the main house. As Arizona exited the building, Pete began to shoot at US Marshals who came to the ranch to prevent the theft, and Arizona and Pete killed the lawmen Theo E. Dunnbar, Larkin G. Delf, Caswell I. Griffis, Bee U. Macon, Dillard Q. Woolridge, Adams K. Bolen, Everette H. Ensel, Elius L. Steinmeier, Ham S. Hammer, Alem Q. Latta, and Adna V. Roth before reaching the dead drop and splitting the money between them.

At Wallace Station, Arizona and Pete climbed aboard a freight train, and Pete hijacked it and had Arizona drive it as he killed the pursuing lawmen Ashton S. Fox and Audie F. Lansing. The two arrived in Valentine soon after, and Arizona decided to stop the train there, intending to get drinks and buy some more ammunition with Pete. Arizona reached the saloon first, getting a haircut and buying a bottle of beer. He drank it as Pete began to murder local citizens, and Pete looked out the saloon window and watched as Pete shot Amet Y. Van Buskirk and Clare G. Shultz dead.

Pete strutting down Valentine's muddy streets

Arizona ran outside to watch what was occurring, and he watched Pete shoot the lawmen Benton C. Neeley, Otto U. Bannester, Samuel F. Kellogg, Abram B. Metz, Woodie D. Whale, Mal S. Kintsel, and Steven B. Perdue, and locals such as Curt Q. Taggert. Arizona was dragged into the shootout when the law mistook him for Pete's accomplice, and Arizona shot Laster M. Burrnett and Thacher Z. Feenan before being wounded by Butler W. Berwick, Terrence O. Suggs, and Gene P. Kemmis. The duo came across the "Goober Gang" outlaws Fern Y. Taggart and Hayden I. Derr at the saloon, and the Goober Gang took part in the shootout with the law as well. The shootout with the law restarted when Pete abducted two women, Anna R. Chenoworth and Marry U. Hursey, and Arizona and Pete shot Iva J. Bright, King R. Buddemeyer, Marian V. Nate, Philo H. May, Terry F. Timlin, Ebinezer T. Standish, Moss Z. Tabor, Elnathan F. Dunahue, Tim T. Capps, Martin H. Ballou, Anastacio T. Province, Edwards G. Stroup, Saul B. Goldsberry, and Harvey G. Faulkner. After the Goober Gang betrayed Arizona and Pete by firing on Pete, Arizona and Pete fled to the countryside, where they continued their shootout with the pursuing law.

In the hills, Pete and Arizona killed the lawmen Azariah C. Dapson, Thacher A. Matjaher, Joshiah B. Bushwick, Tomie P. Schuler, Johathan J. Kadlits, Elzy C. Mounts, Clare O. Herpolsheimer, Spencer N. Ried, Malvin B. Walling, Platt S. Barnhard, Allie I. Hiskey, Okey S. Kleinsmith, Ervin R. Schollian, Merle Z. Cornan, Preston S. Vogel, Adam I. Terwilliger, Edd P. Bronson, Asbury P. Hurless, Leornard T. Snure, Severt S. Kimberly, Willard U. Gumair, Eric Q. Huery, Emiliano L. Bayne, Graham E. McGure, Anna W. Stuckert, and Gilmore I. Frye before deciding to revisit Valentine and wreak their vengeance against the Goober Gang.

As night had fallen on Valentine, Arizona could not positively identify his targets, but, as he crept behind an outhouse, he noticed several outlaws preparing to mount their horses. Arizona was able to shoot two of them dead in rapid succession, but the surviving outlaw Shane U. Whitmore wounded him, and Arizona soon realized that he had targeted the wrong gang, as the original Goober Gang had left town. Soon, this new gang began to attack Little Pete as well, and Arizona suggested that they flee south. Arizona took off through the Heartlands on his horse, escaping Nebraska for Louisiana, with Pete briefly diverging before rendezvousing with Arizona in Rhodes.

In Rhodes, Pete decided to exact his murderous rage against an innocent woman, Fronie Y. McAuley, as she walked down the street, before murdering the passers-by Zoa U. Galvin, Giles X. Linch, Larkin X. Chicock, and Obediah F. Burdick and the lawmen Young G. Gaut, Johnston D. Curtis, Ott R. Averld, Oliver T. Warring, McFarland O. Dorman, Ballasar V. Martie, and Gregory B. Kailey. Arizona was mistaken for Pete's accomplice, forcing him to shoot the lawmen Abie Q. Byers and Huey Q. Sprout in self-defense.

Pete was wounded by the law, but, on his recovery, he walked over to the entrance of the Bank of Rhodes and found Medore V. Putnam and Zora I. Stark sitting at the entrance. Pete blasted off Putnam's head with his sawn-off shotgun and kidnapped Stark, resulting in another shootout. Pete first shot the witness Lucien F. Sharrer, and Arizona was dragged into shooting the lawmen Stuart Z. Gutchess and Hamer Q. Showers. After again being wounded, Arizona witnessed Pete shoot Carol Z. Gosnell in the back, and Pete also shot the lawmen Jesse Q. Buckingham, Edwin Y. Lorton, Acie D. Robe, Braxton Q. McMillan, Antony W. Cobler, Bent Z. Volker, Hank W. Burrus, and Toy P. Frisbie. Pete shot the wagon driver Matthew A. Gier as he drove into town, followed by the civilians Mathias S. Duger, Auston H. Jacks, and Effie Q. Reves, and he kidnapped Dorothy B. Neck. Dragged into the violence, Arizona shot the lawman Dee O. Henning, Markus F. Coyler, Ellery H. Graul, Wirt Y. Seneria, West U. Neleen, Hic H. Hubbell, Nehemiah E. Storrs, Michah X. Desha, and David H. Gale, before he was wounded. Pete continued his murder spree by killing the lawmen Craig K. Hannen, Rubin V. Benlin, Hardin N. Crable, Sherrod E. Trowbridge, Noyes T. Kiff, Dorsey A. Hoague, Job J. Rowland, Stonewall V. Beast, Jonah P. Sandridge, Delmar D. Noel, Leopold U. McFerson, Eddie Z. Beeker, and Bunk X. Picard.

That night, Pete executed the poor girl Eudora J. Fred and shot the witness Arick M. Swane and the lawmen Carrol H. Halbrook, Acey T. Misner, Courtland K. Albrecht, Sandusky E. Moreland, Adoniram V. Duger, Jake Z. Sledge, Clint D. Janway, and Fayette G. Honts. Pete proceeded to execute the wealthy man Salem P. Monahon and murder the townsmen Bennie U. Foy and Milo P. Coder, while Arizona was forced to shoot the lawmen Leonidis W. Gainer, Willam B. Barackman, Wycoff J. Cowden, Ceylon P. Plank, Rollo H. Gakley, Malvin B. Edlin, Andres R. Pitt, Isham T. Hutson, and Elgin R. Cloniger, Walker E. Wells after they again mistook him for Pete's accomplice. After escaping from town, Arizona and Pete decided to hunt for dinner, and Arizona was able to kill a boar and retrieve its tusks, hides, and meat in perfect condition, selling it in town for a good price. Afterwards, Arizona and Pete decided to lay low, having committed several crimes.

Arizona shooting two outlaws at Strawberry

Days later, Arizona decided to set out from Valentine to answer Strawberry's call to arms, hoping that he could do some productive work and escape the bounty hunters on his trail at the same time. Arizona joined the local law in killing the outlaws Zeb M. Faris, Eleazn Y. Eppes, Lamar M. Parmalee, Ruben Z. Noyes, Brent W. McMahon, Ambrose M. Shiholder, Eph X. Weight, Eliah Y. Lawhead, Chalmer E. Waddle, Rice T. Herring, Jones V. Bemis, Francois U. Bringle, Barnett V. Halfin, Otto N. Julius, Eberhart H. Rattcliff, Calhoun O. Pipkin, Orin T. Blaney, Burnie B. Nay, Tim M. Witt, Golden M. Eisley, Wheaton B. Pekham, Ami O. Horan, Pablo L. Richards, Randolph T. Wofford, Friedrich E. Brevan, Theadore V. Dickason, Ringo Y. Beackman, Starling U. Juniel, Coe O. Steinbuck, Dempsy A. Debus, Omer U. William, Ossian C. Driesback, and Elwood K. Tinsley. Afterwards, the remaining outlaws fled, and Arizona used his newfound money to buy a fancy suit at the local store.

Arizona standing over the dead bounty hunters

While Arizona was purchasing his new set of clothing, the bounty hunters tracked him down to Strawberry, forcing him to assume a defensive position between two buildings. From here, Arizona was able to gun down the bounty hunters Crawford H. Wagers, Mannie Y. Murchison, Casper Y. Candy, Holly Q. McNichols, Hershel U. Jarvis, Phillip M. Packard, Nelson V. Walley, Dean N. Benter, Lenard C. Manahan, Dennis R. Montgomery, Finch O. Landers, Virgie H. Woodard, Edgar D. Iker, Colt W. Kansgen, Claudie Y. Larose, Jarrett D. Copeland, Madison G. Wallingsford, Calmer W. Wambaugh, and Hilmer E. Porterfield, and he made his escape from Strawberry during a gap in their attacks. He was pursued by Authur R. Varney, whom he shot dead in the nearby woods, temporarily fending off the bounty hunters.

Concerned that the bounty hunters would resume their pursuit, Arizona decided to ride west to Valentine. Upon his arrival, he found the outlaws Ottie B. Van Every, Bradford N. Bice, and Williard D. Ragains terrorizing the town, and the outlaws killed the lawmen Isaac B. Lemley and Benaga D. Roderick and the locals Orthoel K. Donahue and Norris Y. Frich. Arizona purchased ammunition at the gun store and ate and drank at the local saloon before deciding to continue on his way east, as he wished to revisit Arkansas and the town of Annesburg, where he figured that the bounty hunters would be least likely to search.

Along the way to Annesburg, Arizona stopped in the lawless riverside town of Van Horn, Arkansas to rest and grab a drink. Arizona stopped at a saloon where Enizi V. Pond was playing ragtime music on the piano, and Arizona found the saloon to be deserted. Arizona grabbed a drink before deciding to walk out onto the street and saddle up. As Arizona prepared to leave town, he came across the mean-looking stranger Wade S. Routh, who drew a gun on Arizona and rudely demanded that he get out of his way. Unfazed, Arizona drew first and shot Routh, resulting in a shootout with the town's other miscreants. Arizona shot the locals Barton I. Woodman, Ellie I. Welton, Chaney W. Buck, Alton A. McManus, Malachi L. Muck, and Mike H. Vincent before being wounded by another local. Arizona recovered in the nearby hills and returned to town at dawn, wreaking havoc on the sinful town by killing the locals Melchezdick T. Pruyn, Essie Y. Duncan, Neil V. Witty, Wess C. O'Brien, and Gee O. Pease.

Arizona was again wounded by the locals, but he was intent on punishing the townsfolk for their aggression towards him. He found the man who had shot him and gunned him down, and he was forced to kill Ayres F. Keckley, Ossian U. Wall, Peyton D. Wilkson, Herm B. Loughman, Jim E. Hadley, Saml R. Salsbury, and Gaines H. Sprock. The Memphis law attempted to intervene, but Arizona shot the lawmen Arnett N. Mendell, Harvie N. Piercy, Loring W. Tremper, Tobert T. Fate, Sebastian L. Bayles, Slade S. Horten, Florencio K. Covert, Olie Z. Buckingham, Bartley S. Plymesser, and Evans F. Gleen when they attempted to apprehend him. Afterwards, he shot the locals Terence S. Moleneax, Alpha R. Coop, Fayette G. Pursley, Atha W. Warner, Jeff B. McConaha, Mercer S. McConahey, Elgin S. Hurd, Yancy A. Vivrette, Armistead Y. Burtt, and Sumner R. Bender, and gunned down the lawmen Israel W. Hedges and Anton C. Clement when they barged into the saloon. Arizona then made a break for it, fleeing north towards Annesburg.

Arizona arrived at Annesburg at night, and, not long after, he found himself pursued by a few bounty hunters. Arizona shot Judson F. Lockner, Doniphan G. Frier, and Ben D. Honks before deciding to flee west again, as the hunters had caught up with him. Arizona rode through the forests of the Ozarks, bound for Valentine again, but the bounty hunters caught up to him near Fort Brennand, causing Arizona to take shelter in the derelict fort. Arizona shot the bounty hunters Westle X. Hustus, Douglas C. Ritchey, Odum J. Sreeves, Garnett H. Waldron, Dixon B. Merchenett, Bernardo P. Narens, Matthew C. Beatty, Pinkston C. Hutson, Pearl K. Twedell, Huestes W. Acon, Alsup J. Scott, Bayard R. Deford, and Horace Y. Coopper in a moonlit gunfight, and he was able to escape the fort after shooting the last of the trackers.

Pete standing under the burning threshold

Days later, Arizona and Pete reunited in Rhodes, where Pete embarked on another reign of terror at night. Pete murdered the lawmen Harris U. Rippletoe, Barny G. Hazelton, George Q. Hag, Alston G. Challinger, Josey C. Hannell, Emile E. Tarpley, Dozier W. Garton, Elam I. Bolkman, Ebb B. Rowan, and Haskell G. Reed and the civilians Colon B. Hotchkiss, Sylvester O. Shiel, Carlton H. Guthridge, and Alexina R. McGinty, and he set fire to one of Rhodes' buildings by shooting a lamp. A helpless Arizona watched as his associate wrought havoc on the local populace, and Iron-Sights arrived shortly after.

With his friends watching, Pete decided to murder Thom M. Shadbolt, who was leaning gingerly against the threshold of a local house. Pete fired his shotgun towards the man's head and missed, as Shadbolt coincidentally leaned away from the path of the buckshot, before ultimately shooting him a second time and killing him. Pete angered Iron-Sights by stealing his horse, resulting in the two engaging in a shootout as Arizona purchased ammunition and watched the two frenemies engage in a gunfight.

Arizona riding onto a plantation after killing the bounty hunters

The outlaws' shootout was interrupted by the arrival of a posse of bounty hunters who had come to claim Arizona's hefty bounty. Arizona and Iron-Sights shot the bounty hunters Aleoscius E. Noyes, Molancthon X. Lawyer, Albinia V. Lindon, Eyes J. Kasson, Lige J. Rudder, Jas D. Hall, John V. Charsell, Vance T. Chasteen, Weaver O. Bannister, Hammond C. Borlis, Lark S. Crowley, Ringo R. Blood, Harland T. Cantrell, and Bernardo U. Earsom on the road out of town and in a plantation field to which they fled, wiping out Arizona's pursuers.

Arizona shooting the wolves from the rooftop

The trio then split up, with plans to reunite in their favorite haunt of Valentine. As Arizona rode there, he was ambushed by wolves, forcing him to take refuge atop a cabin, from which he shot the wolves with his repeater, and even threw a stick of dynamite at them to scare them off. Afterwards, Arizona resumed his journey to Valentine, finding that Pete had already murdered the lawmen Wilfred B. Vanderveer and Dexter U. Bansen. He then witnessed Pete throw toxic moonshine at the lawman Billy A. Haygood before taking refuge in the nearby barn, where he was joined by Arizona and Iron-Sights. The lawmen mistook the latter two men for Pete's accomplices, resulting in an all-out shootout between the trio and the law.

The outlaws, taking cover in the barn, shot several lawmen who attempted to storm the structure, and a fire soon broke out and began to engulf the barn. The trio killed the lawmen Boone J. Shall, Andrice C. Abbot, Irvin C. Ely, Tobert W. Spitefaden, Bethuel F. McNealey, Domingo P. Deoley, Aster V. Olson, Allen I. Hitting, Travis M. Ter, Lawyer F. Teach, Wayman V. Baling, Oran H. Blauvelt, Alvie Q. Montieth, Elva B. Fishburn, and Julias R. Harrold before being wounded by the law, after which they resolved to make up for the shootout by defending the town against other armed miscreants.

Arizona, Pete, and Iron-Sights took up arms alongside the townspeople and warded off several attacks by outlaws, killing the gunslingers Harrie P. Boydston, Austin Z. Ogle, Hugo V. Vrooman, Alvi G. Tolman, Richards U. Bricker, Paul B. Ragsdill, Seth P. Galer, Lloyd E. McClenithan, Crockett V. Joy, Isreal R. Essex, Payton R. Medley, Zack B. Ludwick, Mannie M. Fenner, Felton M. De Graw, Terril R. Armon, Celon J. Bran, Halh M. Kellog, Jermiah I. Frakes, Harris K. Guinan, Menzo X. Wiswell, Amos G. Rundell, Jason R. Rummins, Roberts K. Crann, Levi H. Mizell, Emmit L. Silvers, Williard H. Ritcheson, Cleve I. Bridell, Raswell I. Dehue, Adulbert M. Boydston, Bertram H. Halcomb, Humphrey X. Milton, Melvin A. Stall, Hilary E. Starkweather, Carlisle V. Chilvers, Cary X. Lackamp, Zaphaniah U. Newberry, Rogers E. McCard, Lawson S. Cumpston, and Manlio Guardado Tijerina. Afterwards, the attacks subsided.

Iron-Sights carrying Little Pete's unconscious body

Arizona, Pete, and Iron-Sights decided to celebrate their victory over drinks at the saloon. In the process, Little Pete drank until he blacked out, and Iron-Sights picked him up and dumped him in the street to wake him up. The trio then decided to play poker at Iron-Sights' suggestion, and they spent several minutes at it, with Arizona ultimately raking in slightly more than Iron-Sights through several risky all-ins. Pete briefly excused himself after losing most of his money in the game, but, when he returned, Iron-Sights suggested that the trio visit the Rockies, where Pete had not spent much time.

Pete stealing the wagon from Andrew D. Rise

The trio rode out of Valentine together before spotting a wagon which could accommodate three people. Arizona held up the wagon at a bridge out of town as Pete threw the driver Andrew D. Rise from his seat and Iron-Sights shot him. This attracted the attention of the law, resulting in a shootout. Ironically, the trio were forced to abandon their newly-stolen wagon to defend themselves, and they killed the lawmen Ida D. Scott, Clark F. Clover, Jeff V. Shaff, Enos N. Gion, Vollie W. Feldmeyer, Alvi V. Kinnebrough, Joshua N. Rollin, Eliga G. Vetter, Blaine L. Littlow, Dana I. Westbrook, Weston R. Rhodes, Wilmer P. Dea, Demetrus W. Timms, Corneilius T. Ruff, and Ken Y. Steinack, as well as several police dogs sent into the wilderness to find them.

Arizona, Pete, and Iron-Sights preparing to ambush the lawmen

The trio decided to wait at the crossroads and kill any other lawmen who would pursue them. They proceeded to shoot the lawmen Van U. Rawlings, Larcisco M. Elsworth, Alma H. Flansburg, Harl I. Pitcock, Roe M. Luglair, Reinhold P. Pauley, Hope I. Folsom, Near Y. Beagle, Myer Y. Hills, Winston U. Lenrunyan, Markus M. Dubbs, Aron P. Dillavon, Luke L. Ahlbright, Kirk O. Witham, Arnold Q. Att, Loyd T. Jester, Mat M. Spade, Parcels B. Apker, Claus P. Farnsworth, Gilbert Z. Byed, Merle I. Mire, Ruby K. Hington, Saul E. Hamlin, and Spencer H. Dinse, as well as the packs of dogs sent after them. Eventually, they killed all of the lawmen sent to pursue them into the countryside, after which they decided to continue onto the Rockies on horseback.

Arizona and Iron-Sights made it to the Rockies first, and, at Lake Isabella, they came across three outlaws using the cabin as a hideout. Arizona and Iron-Sights ambushed them, shooting Irving M. Shirley and Wylie S. Nickerson dead and capturing Mont D. Bigsby; Arizona escorted Iron-Sights to Strawberry, where Iron-Sights delivered Bigsby to the town jail and received reward money for himself and Arizona.

Arizona preparing to kill the bounty hunters near Cattail Pond

With this task done, Arizona and Iron-Sights decided to return north to the Rockies, where Pete planned to rejoin them. As they rode past Cattail Pond, the duo found themselves pursued by bounty hunters seeking to claim Iron-Sights' bounty. The duo, soon joined by Pete, killed the bounty hunters Elander H. Brock, Elihu M. Garey, Zeke N. Burrell, Myron P. Saum, Estes B. Hair, and several of their associates, temporarily evading the trackers. Arizona, Iron-Sights, and Pete reunited and rode north into the snowy mountains, where Arizona shot the gunslinger Irvin M. Willett dead, as he was overly cautious about the trio being attacked by other outlaws.

Arizona and Pete springing the Skinners' trap

The trio rode deep into Wyoming and Montana, and Arizona suggested that they accept a job from Sadie Adler for diversion. They were sent to search for a trader from Barrow Lagoon who had gone missing, and they tracked him down to Colter, where the Skinner Brothers had taken him hostage. There, the trio rescued Ashton T. Oedaker after killing the Skinners Wapi Firefeather, Helaku Swiftforest, Nibaw Earthgrain, Enyeto Hawkwalker, Wahanassatta Sunweaver, Jenkich Threemoon, Lomotio Autumnrider, Kudza Longbend, Kesau Flamewind, Akecheta Farscar, Lootah Crestwalker, and Lonato Autumndrifter; Pete and Arizona stayed behind Iron-Sights to fight off Skinner ambushers as Iron-Sights brought Oedaker to the safety of Adler Ranch.

Arizona, Pete, and Iron-Sights decided to ride north to the glacier near the Canadian border for the thrill of reaching the northern limits of America. The trio rode along the freezing Mineral Creek into the present-day Glacier National Park, where they found the source of the glacier. The trio comically attempted to fit into a cavern at the source of the creek, but they were flung back by the rushing waters. They also made several attempts to climb the steep, snowy hillsides to make their way into Canada, but they continually failed, to their amusement. Iron-Sights proposed that they have a shooting contest in the snowy hills, using live rounds against each other, and Pete and Arizona were able to best their opponent, in spite of Iron-Sights' confidence in his superior aim. Afterwards, Iron-Sights parted ways with his friends, and Arizona and Pete visited Colter, where Arizona discovered and pocketed a rare collector's card. Arizona and Pete then parted ways, laying low for several days.

Arizona battling the outlaw horde on the streets of Valentine

Days later, Arizona returned to Valentine on hearing that the town was offering double rewards for any gunslinger who would come to its aid against the menacing outlaw hordes of the West. Arizona joined the townspeople in defending the town, killing the outlaws Huey Z. Bullard, Benj F. Schmoll, Mell U. Bedoe, Orvis B. Dewire, Harper E. Rouse, Shadrack I. Sommerville, Jonah C. Easley, Alberto Z. Shores, Pete K. Nabb, Casper M. Lanbert, Carroll E. Schuth, Holland P. Finnighin, Philander F. Burkart, Harris M. Kingsbery, Tynes Y. Coffee, Wesley H. Lofgreen, Olaf F. Burkett, Virgil I. Keis, Ashely Y. Alder, Orthoel J. Bigsby, Beecher K. Winer, Della U. Stamps, Wilburn S. O'Fallan, Arlonus B. Felton, Loran Y. Strond, Hoss V. Forsythe, Evi H. Muth, Dejay M. Baly, Frances J. Darling, Marsee N. Pherburn, Hervey C. Kendrick, Mant I. Sichley, Antone W. Sadler, Oley S. Schniedle, Ewell O. Pridemore, Ervin R. Groff, Burrel C. Bleven, Alonza V. Forsha, Sonny A. Robinette, Okey L. Riepe, Elliot L. Con, Delos D. Hixon, Anderson Z. McCleanland, Marks W. Polin, Harland B. Dimmick, Bret Q. Barney, Seth R. Pluss, Mitchel P. Fread, Philando O. Kelly, Cephus E. Hawkins, Weston F. Pursons, Finneus Q. Boughner, Rudy Y. Banks, Acey G. Latture, Joe T. Lippencott, McCoy A. Inbody, Norman Y. Yoam, Ebenezer N. Plucknett, Dock E. Conrad, Anastacio H. Amsden, and Ernst C. Gilling, after which the remaining outlaws fled.

Arizona returning the lost cart to Valentine

Afterwards, Arizona purchased more ammunition at the gunsmith and decided to sell his services to Alden Carruthers, who asked him to recover a missing cart from the wilderness. Arizona rode to a cliffside near the Colorado River, where he found that the cart driver had been killed in a bear attack. Arizona frightened the bear with gunshots before recovering the cart and driving it back to Valentine, killing several ambushers along the way. However, the cart struck a tree along the way, enabling the horse to flee, and leaving Arizona empty-handed. Arizona also shot the armed passers-by Zachariah M. Buxton and Thacher S. Van Deman after confusing them for ambushers, and he promptly returned to Valentine.

Arizona watching the outlaw posse wreak havoc

On his arrival, Arizona found an outlaw posse terrorizing the town, burning the sheriff's office with fire bottles and engaging in drunken and violent revelry in the streets. He watched the outlaws Vicho Caldo, Elton A. Wind, Cabal A. Tuck, Austin Z. Wilsey, Ashby W. Bement, and Jorge Mardona shoot at each other and rough around in the streets before a pack of bounty hunters arrived in town to take down the posse.

The aftermath of the posse shootout in Valentine

Arizona could only watch as the posse shot the bounty hunters Clayton S. Held, Ishman D. Breshears, Good H. Uhlman, Aurthur J. Dulin, Ott S. Sunee, Hal V. Hendrix, Myer I. Lovett, and Littleton S. Kyner and the lawman Euphrates B. Karr, and he also came face-to-face with the female outlaw Tina Herrscher in front of the gunsmith.

Arizona riding through the Heartlands at twilight

After witnessing the carnage in Valentine, Arizona decided to mount up and skip town rather than risk a confrontation with the lawless outlaw posse. Arizona rode across the Heartlands and southeast into Louisiana, which he had not visited in some time. Arizona decided to seek out Josiah Trelawny on the outskirts of Rhodes, and Trelawny informed Arizona that the "rotters at Caliga Hall" had obtained a new shipment of goods, and told Arizona that he wanted the goods to be destroyed. Arizona promptly rode across the Louisiana countryside to the grounds of Caliga Hall, where he was able to evade detection until he came across a few guards near the cotton fields. He proceeded to kill the guards Johnston S. Keaney, Raleigh Y. Kehrt, Auguste S. Raycroft, Marshal I. Reede, Noyes A. Boudinot, Horatio U. Reams, Ewin Z. Berwick, Oral Y. Bagley, Finneus W. Bostock, Presly E. Murrill, and Shep W. Lackey and destroy the supplies, for which he received $17.66.

Arizona preparing to ambush the Marshals at Caliga Hall

As he began to leave Caliga Hall, Arizona came across an armed guard, Holland B. Lenburg, whom he shot in the face. While Arizona had done so in sympathy with the hard-worked sharecroppers, many of the sharecroppers ran off to report Arizona to the law, and it was not long before the US Marshals were sent to investigate the crime. Arizona, taking cover behind a shed, proceeded to kill the Marshals Elzy U. Russel, Matt R. Wiliever, Alvie R. Striker, Anderson Q. Baldock, Dewit J. Malone, Alvie P. Hamilton, Ab B. Daley, Albany X. Wolkel, Ayers W. Raymour, Hubbard Q. Haag, Hollis Q. Woodson, Dedrick J. Holenthal, Billie T. Letterfield, Reginald W. Lafrantz, Ballard M. Upton, Woodson F. Lauber, Eathan Z. McDonal, Augar V. Thebadeau, Leland B. Walsh, Thompson O. Clement, Earlie Q. Whiting, Joachim T. Ethridge, Childs W. Kiester, Edna D. Weber, Miner N. Polen, Casper S. Netteton, Leland G. Zeller, Glen L. Kruse, Isreal I. Aguton, Lyman Z. Sketan, Timothy O. Bullard, Caswell B. Meils, Care A. Mark, Rosco V. Jinkins, Candido E. Peedon, Commodore T. Kedlee, Enizi Y. Epperly, Golbenck Z. Steinack, and Milas E. Parkin in a day-long shootout. The lawmen came in pairs, allowing for Arizona to ambush and kill them piecemeal as the sun set, fog set in, and each new pair of lawmen was unaware of the killer's location.

Arizona viewing the bodies of several dead Marshals

After killing a satisfactory number of local Marshals - whom Arizona treated with contempt due to their role in enforcing the white supremacist "Jim Crow" laws - Arizona rode back to Rhodes. Anticipating that bounty hunters would soon come after him, Arizona had several drinks at the Rhodes Parlour House, where he intended to wait for his pursuers. When none came, he headed over to the gunsmith to buy ammunition and visited the general store, where he stocked up on tonics to recover from bullet wounds and to restore his energy. After coming to the conclusion that it would be a while before the bounty hunters came after him, Arizona visited the Rhodes train station and paid off his bounty before deciding to rest.

Days later, Arizona decided to take a break from gunslinging and take up the hobby of hunting, as he had learned that shooting animals in the head with his Rolling Block sniper rifle was a clean way to take down most game. Arizona proceeded to visit the Rhodes general store, purchase a new outfit befitting a hunter, and rode out of town to hunt the wildlife. Arizona was able to hunt several animals, bringing back perfect deer pelts for $7, a pronghorn buck for $10, and even bringing back boar hides and meat. He did this for several days, earning a peaceful living and using his marksman skills for the benefit of his coffers and the Rhodes butcher.

Arizona shooting Ewald A. Henthorne and Hortensius N. Hobert

However, Arizona's break from violence did not last long. While returning to Rhodes with a deer loaded onto the back of his horse, Arizona came across the boorish farmers Ewald A. Henthorne and Hortensius N. Hobert. These two men insulted Arizona for riding in their path, telling him to get lost; Arizona grew angry at their arrogance, and, noticing that they had drawn weapons to intimidate him, Arizona wheeled around with his dual-wield pistols and shot both of them dead. As they had been shot well outside of the town limits, Arizona did not have to worry about a witness reporting him, and he rode back to town to sell his pelt before finding that Iron-Sights had arrived in town and was waiting for him.

Arizona meeting up with Iron-Sights in Rhodes

Arizona invited Iron-Sights to join him in hunting, and the two of them separately hunted deer in the forests around Rhodes. As Iron-Sights lacked a sniper rifle, he used a bow and arrow to hunt, while Arizona continued to track down high-quality game and shoot each of them once in the head with his hunting rifle. Arizona was quick to find and kill his prey due to his use of a rifle, while Arizona was slower due to his use of a bow; this led to the two often being separated as Arizona frequently returned to town to sell his pelts. While Iron-Sights was in town and Arizona was searching for game, a group of bounty hunters descended on Iron-Sights, intending to collect on his bounty. Arizona rushed back to his friend, and, together, they killed the bounty hunters Harv W. Bruster, Gaylord P. Homes, Uriah S. Schoen, Elander Q. Risk, Ivey X. Crosby, Sammie F. Hayward, Leon T. Stevenson, Malcolm I. Donahue, Fitzhugh S. Lore, White O. Streator, Donald M. Glynn, Almarine P. How, and Julius M. Varner.

With the bounty hunters dead, Iron-Sights decided to open one of his treasure maps and find some loot, as he wished to be able to afford a Rolling Block rifle and other advanced weaponry for hunting. Arizona followed him, and he helped Iron-Sights steal a wagon from Netta Harlow before watching Iron-Sights stab her to death and shoot the men who were riding with her. Iron-Sights drove the wagon as Arizona sat in the back seat for the long journey, and the duo made their way into the Heartlands and past Valentine; Iron-Sights' treasure map led him to the Rockies.

Arizona watching Iron-Sights burn the wagon

Iron-Sights continued to drive the wagon across the hilly plains until he accidentally struck the rider Steward M. Matt on a hillside near Scottsbluff, Nebraska. The horses broke loose from the crashed wagon, and Matt's associate Hartford R. Kinsman - intending to avenge his friend and take down his Black "murderer" - proceeded to shoot at Iron-Sights. Iron-Sights, while wounded, was able to kill Kinsman after an exchange of gunfire, and Iron-Sights proceeded to set fire to the wagon to dispose of any evidence tying him to the shootout.

Arizona looting the treasure at Diablo Ridge

Afterwards, Iron-Sights and Arizona rode into the Rockies on horseback. While Iron-Sights searched for his treasure chest, Arizona realized that he had a treasure chest leading him to Diablo Ridge. While riding to the site of the treasure, Arizona came across the aggressive strangers Loney U. Bittick and Finneus Q. Satlin, who pulled guns on him after growing antsy about the gunslinger riding in their path. Arizona shot both of them dead, and he also killed the witness Herm O. Filley, though not before Filley nearly killed him with his rifle. Arizona rode on to find his treasure in a hollowed-out tree trunk, from which he collected $112.08.

Arizona then decided to trek west to Hanging Rock to collect another treasure, and Iron-Sights agreed to join him on a road trip to the Southwest. Along the way, Arizona met with Old Man Jones and decided to give him three gold bars to help rehabilitate his image, as Arizona did not wish to be forever known as an honorless criminal. Arizona and Iron-Sights then continued on their ride southwest, and Arizona stopped to shoot a deer near Thieves' Landing before bringing the deer to the butcher at Blackwater to sell its carcass.

Arizona and Iron-Sights taking cover in the alleyway

Arizona decided to stay in Blackwater for a while, visiting the barber to get a haircut in line with his attempts to be more straight-laced. Arizona had his long hair cut and his mustache trimmed, but, while Arizona attempted to transform his image, Iron-Sights continued to be judged for his. Iron-Sights entered into a confused street altercation with a few white pedestrians, resulting in a shootout which left the civilians Ranald X. Eberly and Zeba J. Danneman dead. Iron-Sights was forced to shoot the policemen Dell V. Merry, Terence V. Jacobsmeier, Bishop I. Ess, Vernon R. Caty, and Ethelbert E. Gowan, and Arizona was dragged into the shootout when he came to Iron-Sights' side in the alleyway where Iron-Sights was hiding; the police mistook him for Iron-Sights' accomplice. The two outlaws proceeded to kill the policemen Abijah J. Hargrans, Slim G. O'Loughlin, Obediah P. Cluxton, Alem I. Kropp, Nehemiah C. Cassman, Johnathan E. Epperson, Bush A. Stack, Worley V. Hartman, Evi Y. Truax, Oliver J. Pruet, Wellington N. Trace, Geo M. Harrop, Lum Z. Vogan, Willam C. Barnell, Stafford Y. Seward, Abram W. Marshall, Myles C. Stricklan, Arlonus J. Wesserling, Herschel L. McClennen, Nim D. Kiamn, Harmon Y. Parker, Seth B. Bader, Basil H. Grandy, Lenard C. Finny, Christian D. Bresnehan, Boyd G. Pater, Severt Y. Boone, Cash I. Creech, Washington L. Hilzard, Westle N. Berkey, Harv U. O'Reilley, Widdons J. Fockler, Esam V. Asa, Stonewall O. Roddy, Edna H. Spangler, Jabez T. Koritz, Orim A. Whitney, Roll K. Byers, Madison N. Cachelin, Knox K. Fones, Benedict K. Breden, Alfonzo R. Marah, Roswell A. Giffin, Elhanman G. Sigman, Rutherford A. Engelbrecht, Shirley W. Kerwood, Plummer R. Clune, Morrill K. Beissenhertz, Marcus L. John, Royal E. Hulce, Felton U. Wiren, Richards S. Kennady, Octave M. Withelin, McFarland U. Nace, Alvis Q. Denney, Frerh P. Riepe, Edgar N. Robb, Moss F. Saeger, Quincy B. Sibbitt, Billie W. Crandal, Trester P. Silvermail, Griffin Q. Letter, Burley K. Marshal, Norwood S. McEume, and Ferman E. Stubblefield, and the US Marshals Stephen J. Tweedy, Leyman V. Crowson, Wenzel F. Dean, Clayton F. Goodsell, Willam V. Spek, Leonce U. Flood, Archer R. Creeley, Nathaniel R. Koepke, and Primus Q. Lomax in a massive gun battle, with the two outlaws taking cover in the alleyway, fighting the law in the streets, and even taking over the sheriff's office and barricading themselves inside.

Arizona and Iron-Sights preparing to help the Blackwater law

Ultimately, the police agreed to halt their pursuit of the two men if they would help defend the town against the horde of lowlifes preparing to ravage Blackwater. Arizona and Iron-Sights agreed, taking up arms alongside their former enemies. The gunslingers and the police shot the outlaws Rex V. Oakes, Gibson S. McTygne, Shelton C. Vanderhoof, John C. Lininger, Royal V. Plumb, Jep G. Haywood, Johathan O. Seery, Cordell A. Bates, Cameron G. Bascue, Odum L. Troyer, Armond Y. Moten, Alsey D. Hogen, Marius B. Creagen, Spenser C. Clifton, Hank X. Dickey, Rene L. Raworth, Essie F. Silver, Travis S. Loraine, Delas D. Haefner, Hinnick M. Wormwood, Hiram C. Milner, Dominique K. Tauman, Ashley L. Minear, Ott A. Robison, Howel Y. Mayers, Augustine S. Ramsey, Robt G. Mannen, Victor O. Hinton, Octavio Robles Flores, Finch Q. McDonal, Alphonso I. Pearson, Granville P. La Munyon, Hawkins G. Haben, Zenas L. Gluk, Carson C. Mees, Carlie X. Clover, Jerry X. Boehme, Took U. Evansizer, Zeddekiah K. Dubois, Authur H. Halbman, Fernand E. Borgeson, Perry H. McElyea, Alvi U. Gregory, Kelley N. Childre, Crockett H. Golly, Gustaf E. Haygood, Eldon N. McAuley, Zeba E. McQuelken, Lawerence V. Mattes, Shedrick S. Readhead, Adam W. Hefflebower, Markus O. Eden, Adollph X. Wilhelm, Millard U. Cachelin, Anias A. Singleton, Leartus G. Larnes, Milas U. Garmon, Bryson R. Kleinheller, Ab A. Joice, Mannington P. Sturgis, Loran T. Ess, Clement B. Gaylord, Josuah R. Hoerner, and Waymon S. Eaves.

After the outlaw attacks subsided, Arizona's past came to haunt him as his $16.65 bounty attracted several bounty hunters. Arizona and Iron-Sights killed the hunters Oren Q. Miles, Sol G. Morrin, Blain A. Streir, Wellington V. Sturgis, Harry P. Filsly, Lim F. Karel, Philando W. Stack, Richmond X. Kempe, Baldwin Q. Kimmel, Olin D. Kleutsch, Sylvanus U. Hayes, Vere F. Gasche, Emerson V. Schrader, and Festus I. Smearl before fleeing Blackwater. Arizona rode into Tall Trees to lay low, and he picked several herbs from the forest before he and Iron-Sights decided to continue southwest to Hanging Rock so that Arizona could find his treasure.

Arizona waded across the Pecos River and rode across the plains of Texas before reaching the Southwest, and he and Iron-Sights proceeded to ride through the desert to Hanging Rock. There, it was Iron-Sights' turn to be hunted, and the duo killed the bounty hunters Jensen Y. Posey, Derick R. Minker, Cicero G. Eberstein, Wilbert K. Cooper, Heulet I. Metcalf, Brigham X. Esterville, Hoss V. Hortman, Manning F. Bainbridge, Press Z. Blackstone, Cruz Z. Cronin, Lige N. Shenberger, Della T. McNamara, Prichard S. Crowder, and Sylvan N. Cooley, with Iron-Sights shooting off several bounty hunters' heads in his anger. With the bounty hunters dead, Arizona found the treasure chest and collected $94.61 from it.

Arizona fighting the bounty hunters in Armadillo

With the treasure collected, Arizona and Iron-Sights decided to ride to the nearby town of Armadillo, where Arizona paid off his bounty at the train station. Coincidentally, the bounty hunters on Iron-Sights' trail arrived in town, and the duo proceeded to engage in a shootout with the hunters. They shot Alvarado Q. Rush, Fenton R. Halbman, Frerh J. Silbert, Cyrill B. Siddens, Golden A. Klodt, Markus B. Blue, Cyrus H. Steinman, Ruben T. Tiffany, Loy Q. Castell, Joe L. Russnogle, Emiliano Q. Grear, Fulton F. Welting, Melville E. Num, and Dana R. Ide, fighting off their trackers.

Shortly after, Arizona and Iron-Sights decided to visit the local saloon; along the way, Iron-Sights got into a fight with the local civilian Dioclesian K. McGill, whom he stabbed dead. Shortly after, the outlaw Alcee L. Shane attempted to lasso Iron-Sights, resulting in a shootout between the two comrades and the interloper. Arizona and Iron-Sights took cover in the saloon, from which Arizona peeked through a window and shot Shane in the head with a rifle, killing him instantly. This shooting attracted the attention of the law, who besieged the outlaws in the saloon. Iron-Sights torched the entrance in an attempt to scare off the law, and Arizona shot the Marshals Elie B. Copperstone, Rupert Z. Burgh, Arvid J. Noyes, Finch M. Ataway, and Orrie Z. McCane. Arizona and Iron-Sights proceeded to escape the near-deserted town before parting ways and laying low.

Pete and Iron-Sights next to the tied-up woman

Days later, Arizona decided to visit New Orleans, where Iron-Sights and Little Pete planned to meet up with him. Little Pete greeted Arizona and Iron-Sights in his typical manner; by riding to them on a horse with a tied-up woman on its back. Pete's actions attracted the attention of the New Orleans Police Department, who assumed that Arizona and Iron-Sights were his accomplices. The trio took shelter in an alleyway with a single entrance, intending on fighting off the police and making them pay for their rash judgment.

Arizona and Little Pete in the corridor of death

The three outlaws, taking cover in the alleyway, forced the policemen to funnel into a kill zone. They shot the policemen Rhys Murry, Isaac Muckley, Victor Harrington, Cillian O'Dwyer, Lewis Magian, Cian Keating, Seán MacBrady, Aiden Kerrane, Patrick O'Colman, Éanna Barrett, Jude Skerrett, Donnacha O'Cahan, Conn O'Horan, Eric Mannion, Frank MacKenna, Hugh Horan, Éanna Dunleavy, Ben O'Dooley, Bradley MacCabe, Owen McRoric, Sebastian O'Gallagher, Christian Nangle, Mark O'Doherty, Andrew O'Breen, Ryan O'Beirne, Charles O'Hegarty, Caelan McDermott, Alan O'Lenaghan, Páidí Mulligan, Victor O'Dempsey, Naoise O'Duggan, Paul O'Fallon, Dominik Vaughan, Jamie MacLoughlin, Kevin Gerty, Jesse O'Lee, Caelan Carey, Logan Haugh, Ryan O'Doral, Cody Henly, Abie Y. Bissett, Edie H. Loop, and Emett M. Master and the US Marshals Elva W. McGuhy and Moritz H. Carpenter before the police attack halted, as a band of bounty hunters rode into town to collect Little Pete's bounty.

Pete running from bounty hunters in New Orleans

Pete, who had run out onto Victory Street, was pursued by the hunters, and Arizona and Iron-Sights were unable to persuade him to retreat to the alley, forcing them to run into the open. They proceeded to shoot Jariah I. Bender, Arrested Z. Ransdall, Osborne W. Barnum, and their associates before running into the city alleys and disappearing. While there, Iron-Sights entered into an altercation with the police that night, and he and Little Pete shot the policemen Bobby O'Grady, Tom Tully, Freddie Mainey, Elliot O'Kirwan, Donagh Cormick, Johnny Nolan, Casey Mongan, Dáithí MacCann, Senan O'Dowd, Sonny Lawlor, and Ronan Gaffney on the street. Arizona was again dragged into his friends' shootout after the police assumed that he was their acquaintance, forcing him to shoot Jude O'Rourke, Dominic O'Monahan, Jake Phelan, Hunter Roarty, Rory MacMurrough, Logan MacDonogh, Nathan Cormick, Eoghan O'Higgin, Denis Martin, Toby Roche, Ruben O'Boyle, Kian Miley, Christian O'Molony, Martin O'Casey, and Tadhg O'Hanlon.

Shortly after, the trio met the gunslinger Bonzi Hawkins, whom they invited to join their posse after he displayed interest. Moments later, a pack of bounty hunters arrived to claim Little Pete's bounty as Pete left a meeting with Guido Martelli, and the quartet engaged in a shootout on the streetlamp-lit streets of New Orleans. Teaming up, they shot the bounty hunters Eligah N. Denton, Markus G. Wilke, Urbin Z. Sterville, Newell K. Warford, Lum Z. Cronk, Roy U. Wicks, Houston H. Scimer, Ewell H. Kerwood, Allie Z. Colton, Griffin Z. Dutro, Gee B. Prough, Rafe Z. Batesville, Hoy P. Nesbit, Emerson R. Rankins, Fones T. Connaughton, Porter N. Sharpe, and Vincent E. Tibbles, helping Pete escape.

Realizing that the quartet could prove a powerful team, Arizona decided to volunteer their services to the defense of Fort Mercer from a large outlaw horde. The quartet joined the gunslingers at the fort and hunkered down, killing the miscreants Terence X. Dudgeon, Gaines M. Hazen, Pope Q. Lanonon, Emit G. Wirich, Julious H. McGinness, Levi K. Trafty, Waverly B. Bolar, Francois U. Speers, Hilliard B. Kirkendall, Dewey S. Traver, Alcana J. Aikens, Humphrey O. McElvain, Clair D. Attison, Acie V. Haelester, Armstead Z. Castinu, Aloysius I. McIninch, Orville S. Koerner, Dean Z. Irish, Theophile A. Pfeil, Seaborn B. Hodgin, Elisha Q. Hefner, Hiram N. Everett, Ernie V. Parkes, Hays V. Eckuran, Rudolf Q. Bremer, Rhodum D. McCarley, Levy D. Shute, Obie Y. Ludwick, Caleb A. Ruel, Clayborne U. Bonner, Alvan G. Bruhn, Joachim S. Barringer, Bud G. Merryfield, Seldon B. McCalley, Alejandro A. Bannester, Merl P. Pluss, Thacher R. Myrick, Joaquin C. Haskins, Asberry S. McConnell, Winslow L. Fetters, Carey H. Dougall, Leeroy I. Kerle, Hezekiah W. Trout, Mayberry W. Wynager, Sid V. Jackman, Esequiel G. Wadling, Phesley L. Kiney, Marshall U. Phebus, Alpha W. Gillian, Arnett X. Darron, Dehart Q. Keehn, Delas F. Marcy, Homer O. Boesel, Church K. Holmes, Jackson P. Mendleson, Divitt G. Lienburger, Bat R. Corley, Angus N. Gossard, Clyde M. Hasson, and Pryor V. Grammer.

During that shootout, which saw eight increasingly powerful waves of outlaws attempt to storm the fort, Arizona held the main entrance, occasionally with the help of Little Pete's sniper rifle. Bonzi left after the third wave, leaving the original trio behind to help defend the fort. Eventually, as the outlaws began to overpower the entrance, Arizona withdrew to a platform which was fortified with sandbags, and he withstood machine-gun fire from an armored "war wagon" before shooting its gunner through the visor. Later, the outlaws brought up cannon and blasted the walls, while machete-wielding criminals and heavily-armored outlaws wearing armored suits inspired by Ned Kelly charged into the fort and overwhelmed the trio, who were forced to retreat, having killed hundreds of outlaws.

After the smoke cleared, Arizona, Iron-Sights, and Little Pete planned to ride west to Tumbleweed to stock up on ammunition, as the battle at the fort had bled them dry. However, a gang of bounty hunters rode to the fort that night to collect Iron-Sights' bounty, and the outlaws killed Danford R. Clune, Justin C. Grice, Eliza F. Badger, Love I. Meachack, Erie Q. Horsh, Lyman F. Balliett, Huey D. Soper, Winchester F. Kennant, Lindley X. Dyer, Carroll C. Probasco, Cruz N. Adkinson, Carin C. Swyer, Rupert U. Scruggs, Jospeh M. Scritsmer, Isreal M. Gibe, Guss R. Lawhead, Willard P. Esley, and Denis K. Bush. With the bounty hunters dead, the two made a beeline for Tumbleweed, riding at dawn and reaching Tumbleweed by morning.

After the two men reached Tumbleweed, they restocked their ammunition; Arizona had run out of repeater ammunition during the shootout. The two men then decided to go hunting, while Pete lagged behind in New Mexico. Arizona and Iron-Sights came across the bounty target Eddie Z. Bare while hunting, and they arrested Bare as he attempted to unlock the tied-up Swan T. Manpin's coach lockbox. Iron-Sights rode back to Tumbleweed with Bare as Arizona cut Manpin free and shot several of Bare's accomplices, who attempted to rescue him. They successfully delivered Bare to prison for their small reward.

Arizona visiting the camp that Iron-Sights saved

Afterwards, Arizona and Iron-Sights each took notice of smoke signals coming from different fires, and they decided to separately investigate. While Arizona came across an abandoned campsite, Iron-Sights came across settlers in need of help against attacking outlaws, and, when Arizona met up with Iron-Sights, he found that Iron-Sights had shot the Del Lobos Danl S. Duffey, Baldwin F. Giltner, Arapey Estévez Rentería, Clodoveo Orta Armijo, Olimpo Jáquez Arreola, Hasel Guerrero Meza, and Nereo Barragán Medina and saved the settlers.

Arizona rescuing Vincent Z — Arizona rescuing the hostages

Days later, Arizona traveled to Louisiana, where he shot the drifter Festus W. Drawbridge after accidentally bumping into him and provoking a shootout at Josiah Trelawny's caravan outside Rhodes. Arizona then spoke with Trelawny, who enlisted his help in rescuing three locals who had been taken hostage by the "childish" Louisiana Raiders and were held at Lonnie's Shack. Arizona rode to Lonnie's Shack and shot the Raiders Elston B. Bingham, Barney L. Hatchell, Wood Q. Weatherly, Tabrannus G. Vickery, Logan N. Lolmas, Harrison U. McGums, Theo I. Burdick, and Richards I. Hosford before rescuing Vincent Z. Mauldin, Iscelus H. Connelly, and Olen L. Seaton and taking them to the safety of a Trapper's Cabin in the bayou. Arizona was paid $16 for his efforts, and he decided to ride north to Annesburg to reunite with his old friend Little Pete.

Along the way, Arizona stopped at the lawless town of Van Horn for a drink, entering a saloon where the armed Milburn P. Dinse was playing the piano. Arizona had a drink at the bar, but, as he left, he accidentally toppled the outlaw Godfrey K. Marcellus, causing a belligerent Marcellus to attempt to draw on Arizona. Arizona shot him first, and he was forced to shoot the other bar patron Stevenson S. Dierks after he rose to fight him. Arizona proceeded to hide in the saloon and shoot the outlaws Romeo C. Brande, Manford E. Kreiger, Kirk J. Suit, Lindsey D. Jacoby, Pinkston W. Basley, Benny Z. Roggen, Agustavus Z. Hopping, Wat J. Forbes, Wilton F. Clampit, Glenn Z. Gabel, Theodore Y. Margrave, Gran D. Blunk, and Burke G. Leppold both in the saloon and on the streets after they attempted to lynch him. Arizona's actions attracted the law, forcing him to shoot the Marshals Clarbourn N. Dedmore, Jonathan J. Lerch, Wade W. Klingerman, and Little D. Sale. Just then, Little Pete arrived in town, and he and Arizona escaped the Marshals Dehart T. Cabler, Jobe N. Thurman, and Lish S. Cady and continued on north towards Annesburg, as Pete had never been there.

The duo arrived in Annesburg that night, first visiting the gunsmith to purchase ammunition. As Arizona curiously investigated the mines, Pete began a murderous rampage against the miners, resulting in the Marshals being sent in to apprehend him. Pete shot the miner White X. Orrick and the lawmen Furman A. Streeter, Smith C. Stafford, Minnie D. Crist, Reasoner G. Hardon, Mannie U. Wilkin, Pearley F. Roderick, and Edw Y. Felthauser before Arizona was drawn into the shootout. Arizona joined Pete in shooting the lawmen Mills I. Lydick, Harrie R. Haas, Asher P. Dimiler, Esau D. Herbison, Dominick V. Toms, Roscoe G. Heise, Atha B. Gallager, Harv X. Gloss, Young U. Hutchison, Lorenzo C. Gibbon, Clemens L. Wolkel, Rupert N. Lawsha, Dwight S. Noland, Laze A. Ruechee, Delevan U. Words, Emilio U. Beal, Ewing S. Gerecke, Ellsworth T. Moffett, Dink K. Cobian, Tobias V. Conerty, Lyman D. Grinder, Elam Q. Kennett, Otis K. Egan, Tollie T. Seats, Giles U. Park, Jessee J. Hyland, Fitzhugh B. Husted, Olaf R. Moreland, Rafael A. Vansickle, Champ K. Butterbaugh, Ancil D. Laner, Dawson W. Brearley, Mike F. Graham, Salmon L. Swihart, Cassidy Q. Pringel, Cameron R. Macomber, Lawton V. Wintenberger, and Burr H. Lehmer, after which the law's pursuit of them subsided, and they decided to find an excuse to leave town.

Arizona helping Raswell J. Heden defend the caravan

The two met with Alden at the local post office and agreed to escort a supply convoy to O'Creagh's Run, and Arizona sat with Raswell J. Heden as Pete guarded Brad G. Stroman's wagon. The duo ensured that the wagon train passed safely through the Ozarks and into South Dakota, fending off the Murfree Brood outlaws who attempted to overrun the convoy and steal its supplies. The duo ensured that the wagon reached Hamish Sinclair's cabin safely, and Arizona decided to help Sinclair out as well. Arizona and Pete were sent to rescue Lucus I. Sheeks, who had gone missing after a stagecoach ambush, and the duo killed the Skinners Maska Longhide, Sewati Mistscar, Nibaw Longdream, Abooksigun Steelwinds, and Hiilo Thunderweaver before escorting Sheeks to the safety of Sinclair's cabin. There, they were joined by Iron-Sights, and Arizona decided that they should heed MacFarlane Ranch's call for help as an outlaw horde approached.

Pete, Arizona, and Iron-Sights returning to the ranch

Arizona, Pete, and Iron-Sights returned to the ranch at twilight, and they helped the ranchers prepare their defenses before the outlaws began their attack. The trio killed the outlaws Alcana P. Gillett, Bruce N. Trumble, Newt P. Weldin, Dominic L. Dewyant, Cordell H. Bunton, Bartley U. Brannard, Atticus C. Sloane, Abumen N. Garmer, Thornton I. Wilkie, Thos Z. Merrang, Cora J. Chittick, Micheal T. Mackey, Ashby D. Reber, Estevan P. Morain, Roll F. Walkup, Lonie K. Percival, Eldrige X. Tarble, Cullen S. Hinsman, Cooper S. Bondurant, Sydney T. Gallager, Harvie M.

Musters, Herm J. McConahey, Furman P. Hippolyte, Altonil D. Bull, Alec Z. Shellhart, Lewis V. Woodsen, Rooster G. Staner, Ervin G. Twins, Ashby H. Wait, Eberhart Q. Pridemore, Addie T. Hogg, Charls C. Hillier, Marsh W. Burnham, Chas I. Patton, and Stanford H. Grewell, and they even held off a train equipped with a machine-gun, shot the gunner of an armored "war wagon", and killed several men in iron suits before the outlaws withdrew.

Arizona hunting buffalo on the Texas plains

The trio then decided to restock their ammunition and take things easy, as Arizona and Pete had just recovered from several shootouts. The three men rode to Blackwater, where they purchased ammunition from the gun store; the trio also proceeded to hunt in the Great Plains, with Arizona heading out alone and Pete and Iron-Sights going as a duo. Arizona used his new hunting skills to take in valuable buffalo pelts after killing the beasts with a single sniper's bullet to the head, and he also hunted wild deer and brought their carcasses back to the Blackwater butcher. The trio were occasionally caught up in shootouts with rival outlaws bent on creating chaos, and they failed to take in a rival outlaw's bounty that Iron-Sights sought to claim. Some time later, Arizona visited the barber to get a haircut and a new mustache style, and he finally persuaded Little Pete to get a makeover; Pete cut his hair and changed his outfit.

Arizona fending off the ranch's attackers

Weeks later, Arizona decided to mount his saddle again and seek adventure. Upon hearing that MacFarlane's Ranch was once again under attack by hordes of outlaws, he rode to Texas to join in the ranch's defense. He and the ranchers shot the outlaws Jerome C. Myres, States O. Brininger, Tabrannus B. Kohler, Briggs A. Joice, Pearl I. Shadbolt, Franz T. Lampkins, Hoyt H. Hurol, Alexis A. Hubble, Carson N. Manville, Hansel O. Strail, Gregeno D. Thorpe, Isham E.

Emilio Ayo death — Arizona shooting Emilio Ayo

After defending the ranch, Arizona decided to seek adventure farther east. While riding through Blackwater one night, he accidentally bumped into Mexican worker Emilio Ayo, who followed him into an alleyway and attempted to beat down on Arizona. Arizona responded by producing a handgun and shooting Ayo dead, and he beat down the witness Amadeo Godinez before Godinez could report the crime to the law. Rather than stick around and get into more trouble, Arizona continued his journey northeast, traveling north into Colorado and passing through the quiet town of Strawberry before reaching his old haunt of Valentine.

Arizona destroying the supplies at the factory

There, Arizona decided to meet up with "the Boy", for whom he had not worked in a while. The Boy hired Arizona to wreck the Cornwall Company's goods at their oil refinery in retribution for their refusal to pay protection money to him, so Arizona rode into Oklahoma and came to the kerosene and tar factory. There, he killed the guards Landon D. Farnham, Sumner T. Shrader, Cas O. McKinnie, Pat M. Linnabary, Wes Q. Marian, Near N. Dorathy, Mal Z. McFadden, Emer M. Mott, Gabriel F. Brinker, Guy E. McKnight, Orramas J. Mead, Paris V. Matthews, Odie D. Rosman, Dedrick Q. Augustine, Marshal X. Lybarger, Cahro Y. Grout, Epifanio A. Shields, and Waldon R. Smallwood and destroyed the company's supplies. He was forced to beat down the unarmed workers Bennie B. Larimer and Ephraim G. Haskell to prevent them from alerting the law to his actions, and he hid until US Marshals Blaine N. Fones and Caesar B. Griffin gave up their search.

Arizona proceeded to ride southeast into Louisiana, where he visited the town of Rhodes. There, a change in Arizona's character took place, as, after Gray Woolen Mill worker Hayman W. Hurt greeted Arizona with bitterness, an indignant and murderous Arizona hopped on his horse, roped Hurt, and dragged him through the streets of town to punish him. Hurt died after he was accidentally dragged into the path of a wagon, crushing him. The local law responded by turning out, forcing Arizona to shoot the lawmen Wenzel P. Rotts, Weston R. Bruna, and Job Q. Gakely before being gunned down. Arizona survived his wounds and was released from jail by the white supremacist local authorities, and a guilt-wracked Arizona swore not to engage in any such racist outbursts of anger again.

Return to the range[]

Arizona destroying an oil tank with his revolvers

Some while later, Arizona resurfaced in the bustling cattle town of Valentine, where the Boy once again bade him destroy the Cornwall Company's contraband at Cornwall Kerosene & Tar. While Arizona stealthily killed the guard Alvah I. Wright with a thrown knife, he accidentally alerted the other guards after merely wounding another guard with a knife, and Arizona shot Octave U. Meyer, Adna H. Lathrop, Albertus M. Borgeson, Ford I. Pool, Tillman E. Stouen, Artford K. Kellerman, Carson M. Canaday, Eustace X. Restmeyer, and Malden D. Tremble before destroying the oil tanks and contraband wagons with his revolvers.

Arizona ambushing the O'Driscolls with a shotgun

This task achieved, Arizona rode back to Valentine and celebrated by spending some of his newly-earned money on a haircut, shaving off his facial hair. He then revisited his old associate Alden Carruthers, who hired him to recover a missing stagecoach from the nearby valley. Arizona ambushed the O'Driscolls with a shotgun as they congregated at their hidden camp, blasting Archie Holian, Paul MacGiolla, Milo O'Doral, Darren Ryan, Luca Caroll, Calum Maher, and Harrison Canny before bringing the wagon back to Valentine.

Arizona taking Cartwright from the body-strewn alleyway

Once back in town, Arizona learned that he had received vouchers for free stagecoach journeys, and he decided to return to Tumbleweed in the Arizona Territory. There, he accepted the bounty on the famous bareknuckle champion Virgil "Blue" Cartwright, and he rode to Rathskeller Fork that night. Arizona hid on the cliffside behind Rathskeller Fork's adobe walls, and he waited until Cartwright approached an isolated corner of the settlement before climbing the walls and lassoing him. He then shot down several outlaws who funneled into the alleyway to rescue their boss; Locadio Riba, Lucio Batista, Dalmacio Estébanez, Choel De La Caballería, Cerilo Texidor, Lupercio Jofre, Galindo Notario, Cassius S. Voss, Raoul Z. Palmerston, and Frazier C. Swader each fell to Arizona's twin revolvers. Arizona brought Cartwright back to the Tumbleweed jail for his meager reward of $13.50.

Arizona killing miners at Gaptooth Breach

Hoping to make more money, Arizona decided to work on the opposite side of the law by approaching Shaky on the banks of the Rio Grande. Shaky gave Arizona written instructions to assassinate several outlaws based at Gaptooth Breach, and Arizona found that his targets were several armed miners. Arizona shot Charles Y. Eyer, Ashby E. Artman, Baldwin H. Phillipar, Colt R. McDuffer, Elliot F. Mahaffle, Jones B. Alford, Albinia N. Hagaga, Alph U. Olsun, Isiah M. Came, Wilson M. Detrick, Roman X. Gilchist, Huston P. Cart, Griffin W. Pflaum, Joseph A. Murchison, Lem L. Williams, and Tillman O. Barthell, after which he received his payment from Shaky.

Arizona clearing the Del Lobos out of Armadillo

With dawn rising, Arizona rode aimlessly through the New Mexico desert in search of work, ultimately passing through the town of Armadillo. Bored, Arizona reached into his satchel to read some telegraphs which had gone unread for some time. He grew interested when his contact "J." wrote him, "Undesirables hoarding stolen goods in and around Armadillo. Locals ain't happy. Willing to pay for a dose of retribution and a clean town. Find and destroy the goods. Sharp eyes needed. Help out any folks in need if you feel like being a charitable soul. Lord knows they could use some charity down there." Arizona agreed, riding into town to evict the Del Lobo Gang and destroy their contraband. He killed Zirilo Calderón, Uc Bandrés, Galén Cirera, Calisto Massa, Calvet Penyafort, Paricio Mas, Marcelín Segarra, Aimor Ermengol, Moisen Vilagrassa, Zeferino Alos, Sisto Agea, Chazinto Clemente, Ualdo Almunia, Florián Burguera, Zeferino Feliu, Severino Ramon, Roswell Q. Reddecker, Plummer N. Waterhouse, Garry T. Fagan, Manwell U. Steen, Turner U. Neighley, Vernon Z. Colhapp, Odell Q. Rarsons, Irvine U. Hagar, Buford D. Ansel, Delos E. Whitlow, Lesley O. Leavitt, and Wilber R. Tegtmeier in Armadillo, while destroying their wagon with dynamite.

Arizona ambushing the Del Lobos at Two Crows

Arizona then set out in search of the second wagon at nearby Two Crows, where he killed the outlaws Cherardo Bandrés, Terencio Font, Ibán Burrell, Lupercio Ceret, Satorníl Penyafort, Loís Cajal, Bitor Cacho, Minervo Sagarra, Alfons Burrell, Aparizio Alfaro, Cilipo Escolano, Arnau Ramon, Daniel H. Albright, Linzy M. Sailor, and Reubin Z. Mangold before destroying the last wagon and escaping on horseback.

Arizona blasting the US Marshals with his shotgun

Arizona proceeded to return to Tumbleweed that night for a celebratory drink. After drinking three bottles of booze, Arizona left the saloon, only to bump into Nathaniel A. Zimmer, who called Arizona an idiot. Arizona, slightly intoxicated, proceeded to stab Zimmer dead with a knife, resulting in a gunfight with the local law. Arizona shot the local lawmen Henery Z. Woodhall, Hurley P. Cheney, Lute Q. Stroop, Richards N. Cherry, and Irven Z. Schrebing and the US Marshals Judehiah T. Whitten, Trester E. Newton, Kirk Q. McCurry, Carleton I. Burghard, Alver W. Eller, Anthoney B. Austin, Josu H. Bodman, Myles K. Galway, Fleming L. Troyer, Jackson U. Conley, Tim A. Furrough, Leni C. Woolcutt, Dora F. Biggerstaff, Wash V. Clinger, Arnold Z. Kite, Mercer J. Deroin, Marlin D. Kensler, Fulton T. Tonkin, Franklin G. Mire, Pablo B. Hutton, Flora P. Furrow, Raoul S. Bledsoe, Kirk Q. Search, Genie M. Dodd, Abdon I. Gallatin, Grover Y. Krumsick, Scott X. Moder, Evans E. Bronell, Irl Z. Treadway, Bryan D. Harrold, Levings N. Council, Purnell K. McClellen, Huston Z. Rogers, Marion M. Crowley, Huestes P. Reams, and Dixie G. Godbehar, killing many of them in the street before retreating into the saloon and taking cover. He held out until he was outflanked by the lawmen, one of whom shot Arizona from behind as he guarded the back door against other intruders.

Arizona shooting one of Fort Mercer's attackers

After Arizona recovered, he found that he had accrued a $10 bounty, so he sought to redeem himself by coming to the aid of Fort Mercer, which was attacked by hordes of outlaws. Arizona joined the Del Lobo gunmen there in killing the outlaws Atrahan N. Cypher, Eleazn K. Mattinger, Wite K. Nims, Nickolas I. Hersh, Josiah O. Brommelmire, Cass K. Keime, Samual X. Reome, Pink J. Sayre, Vincent I. Meloy, Hosea R. While, Hill Y. Barnhouse, Nolan D. Winch, Dionicio N. Zahan, Alanzo S. Klinker, Clare T. Murray, Rube J. Wallers, Mordecai L. Harnell, Eldridge A. Burkhart, Orrin Q.

Loury, and Elbert E. Hinshaw, repelling the outlaw attacks on the fort.

Victorious, Arizona rode off from Fort Mercer, and he shot Ancel X. Loveless after the two men accidentally crashed horses and a combative Loveless drew on Arizona. Arizona trekked back east to Louisiana, where he met with the outlaw Joe and agreed to kill the "gang of crazies" (Louisiana Raiders) at Pleasance. Arizona ambushed the Raiders at night, shooting Purl N. Coffer, Dillard F. Embers, Presly H. Bevridge, Judge I. Phoain, Commodore A. Hoffer, Leopold S. Pharis, Ellis I. Alt, Morgan R. Bosholin, Mart P. Selleg, Frank T. Macklin, Red H. Saltzman, Sherwood K. Hog, Felix Y. McConaha, Howdy C. Catlen, and Tate P. Dinse and preventing any of them from escaping.

Arizona shooting two Raiders at the freight yard

Intent on killing more Raiders, Arizona rode into New Orleans to meet with Foreman, who hired him to rescue his former lover from the Raiders at the freight yard. Arizona blasted the Raiders Linn I. Owen, Cruz U. Epperson, Newell L. Edlin, Ell C. Bader, Pink N. Sage, Franklyn I. Vorhies, Cole E. Farnahue, Sherod L. Walter, Garnet N. Mina, Jim E. Pomeroy, and Celon I. Dotson before rescuing Foreman's lover and taking her to Caliga Hall, where Gracetta Gray received her.

Arizona fleeing Caliga Hall on the stolen horse

Arizona proceeded to ride to Rhodes to meet with Trelawny, as he desired to go back to Caliga Hall and bother the influential Gray family. Arizona was hired to steal one of the family's valuable horses, and Arizona killed the Gray family's guards Pinkston T. Bryson, Elander P. Sland, Eugene C. Mound, Omar E. Hardman, Alger K. Loughbridge, Gerome W. Reynolds, and Antony X. Starr before stealing the horse and delivering it to a hideout near Braithwaite Manor.

Arizona ambushing Hap Monroe's prison convoy

As he was in the vicinity, Arizona decided to visit the female gunslinger Black Belle at her hideout. Belle asked him to rescue her associate Hap Monroe, a former lover, from a prison convoy from New Orleans bound for Rhodes, and Arizona set out in pursuit of the convoy. He intercepted it near Caliga Hall, and Arizona killed the policemen Jonn X. Nye, Curt B. Koman, Agnes G. Teachworth, Estes M. Letter, and Epifanio B. Heiges before busting Monroe out of the cage and taking him to a drop-off. Arizona then headed into New Orleans to relax for some time.

A few days later, Arizona returned to Valentine, where Carruthers again hired him to recover a missing stagecoach from the O'Driscolls. Arizona ambushed the O'Driscolls at their hideout and killed Conall Murphy, Caolán MacGowan, Pádraig O'Farrelly, Frankie Miley, Sean Canny, Donnacha O'Naghten, Mason MacGilloway, Calvin O'Mara, and Eoin O'Keenan before bringing the coach back to Valentine.

Arizona sneaking into the Cornwall oil refinery

Arizona then met with "the Boy" and agreed to once against punish Leviticus Cornwall for refusing to pay him protection money. Arizona infiltrated Cornwall Kerosene & Tar and dispatched several guards with a throwing knife before attracting the others' attention by blowing up several oil tanks. Arizona killed the guards Selmer E. Washington, Fernando W. Elison, Hamer D. Keeler, Bennet A. Fee, Columbus U. Hollenbeck, Estes K. Fisheer, Waverly K. Chambers, Ambrose I. Sheck, Hammond L. Brandin, and Akin J. Smallwood before finishing off Cornwall's contraband.

Arizona killing Nicholas Rogers' accomplices at Cueva Seca

On discovering that he had another voucher for a free stagecoach journey, Arizona traveled west to Tumbleweed, Arizona Territory. There, he decided to hunt down the Bloodstone Boys veteran Nicholas Rogers, who had taken refuge at Cueva Seca. Arizona ambushed and killed Rogers' escorts Friend U. Kerwood and Birt J. Wallingsford, but Rogers made it to his Cueva Seca hideout, and Arizona was forced to engage in a shootout with Rogers' accomplices. Arizona killed Obed J. Holtz, Lucas I. Mohan, Fender T. Mullins, Carolus C. Echart, Alcide L. Warfield, Hanson Y. Poole, Corwin H. Rowles, Coy S. Gloss, Gregg C. Fairburn, Pierce L. Swarts, Ulric K. Woodberry, Elick Q. Wiswell, and Marzavine N. Linbocker, but the time limit to capture Rogers elapsed, leading to a frustrated Arizona shooting the hogtied Rogers in the head.

Arizona ambushing the Del Lobos at their camp

Arizona returned to Tumbleweed, where he stocked up on ammunition. Arizona met with Sheriff Freeman, who asked him to recover Benedict Rowlands' wagon from Cueva Seca. Arizona killed the Del Lobos Bauzis Cajal, Arnau Baldovinos, Bibián Segarra, Francesc Bautista, Alexo Notario, Anchel Entenza, Climent Bermund, Gustabo Abarca, Vitelio Abadía, and Menzio Navarro before returning the wagon to Tumbleweed for payment.

Shortly after, Arizona looked in his satchel and found another telegram from "J" calling on him to drive the Del Lobos out of Armadillo once again. Arizona set out for the town once again, and he shot his way through the Del Lobos Vidal Cacho, Baldovín Amalric, Garcia Arcas, Llorenç Ponts, Gustabo Aragonés, Jordi Murillo, Lauriano Penyafort, Filipo Jofre, Ibán Planas, Florencio Novés, Domingo Vallès, Everette I. Bleven, Gursham M. Haggard, Santiago U. Lord, Thos N. Brigance, Derick J. Holcomb, Barnett Q. Sweeten, and Hershel L. McAlexander before destroying two wagons with dynamite, and he escaped into the desert on horseback after fighting off his pursuers.

Arizona proceeded to visit Langton at his hideout along Lake Don Julio, where Langton hired him to hunt down Jim Hampshire and the Del Lobos hiding out at Fort Mercer. At night, Arizona went in, guns blazing, taking down Hampshire and his accomplices Loís Ager, Octavio Batista, Alziz Abadía, and Waldo I. Schuler and receiving payment for their deaths. Shortly after, Arizona met with Shaky, who hired Arizona to steal a prized horse from Ridgewood Farm. Arizona shot the ranchers Heulet V. Landon, Hawkins D. Dunn, Colbert F. Monk, Obe A. Feathers, Ellie T. Shea, and Vere C. Mart before stealing the horse and delivering it to the drop-off.

Arizona being shot at on the streets of Valentine

Arizona blasting outlaws on the muddy street

Several days later, Arizona reappeared in Valentine to answer the town's call to arms as a horde of degenerates descended on the cattle town.

With the town saved, Arizona decided to grab a drink at Valentine's saloon. On his way, Arizona came across Amon B. Cleveland's outlaw gang, including Ayres B. Gilley, Harlie B. Babbitt, Mart V. Lindsley, Hillard D. Allen, Simpson J. Uffs, Edd D. Dryer, and Bascom S. O'Harra, who arrived in town with ornate outfits and rich in exotic pelts. Arizona grabbed two beers at the bar as other members of the gang drank, and, after this peaceful encounter, Arizona rode out of town to engage in hunting, a more peaceful pursuit than gunslinging.

His hunting journeys took him into Louisiana, and he rode into the town of Rhodes. There, he decided to hunt down the wanted fugitive Lionel Gladwell, who had enlisted armed support and had taken refuge at the Prinz & Co. Slaughterhouse on the outskirts of New Orleans. Arizona hid out in a rail car next to the slaughterhouse until Gladwell arrived, upon which Arizona ambushed the outlaws and shot Butler U. Beckley, Aden E. Burgh, Adelbert V. Lasater, Arden Q. Dempsey, Cruz E. Hilyard, Lyman R. McDougal, Bicente W. Classen, and Virgle H. Coln before capturing Gladwell and delivering him to the New Orleans prison, where he was paid $29.25.

Arizona and Pete riding up to Fort Wallace

Around a week later, Arizona met up with Little Pete in the Black Hills near Fort Wallace. The anti-government Arizona and the anarchist Pete decided to ambush the US Army soldiers standing guard on the fort's walls, and they shot Rome N. Ricketts, Elmore A. Hocken, Otho G. Lehew, Burton B. Mavity, Wesley Y. Knewdson, Mills Q. Lucke, and Rafael R. Nodding before finding it impossible to enter the tightly-sealed fort.

The two outlaw friends then decided to ride into Valentine, where Arizona purchased ammunition for his guns while Pete embarked on one of his characteristic killing sprees. Arizona discovered the bodies of Gustav R. Flamm and Wike R. Masters on the muddy streets before watching Pete shoot the local lawmen Hawkins T. Throop, Ringo B. Ammerman, Rollin X. Leadletter, Carlos G. Gillmore, Andres V. Board, Ernie X. Barsh, Math W. Carns, Freddie M. Thornton, and Estes I. Cantlin. Pete took up a sniping position on the roof of a false-front store and shot lawmen as they attempted to climb a ladder at the store's back, as they climbed the balconies of neighboring shops, and as they rode up to besiege the building from the street and backyard. Arizona merely watched as Pete shot the US Marshals Ellsworth C. Debois, Britt R. Lanver, Tobias P. Pracht, Clint G. Sunee, Pascal N. Fried, Taylor H. Dee, and Delve K. Micham before being shot and wounded by the lawmen Marlin E. Laner, Bartley D. Moulton, and Pearley E. Meade.

After Pete recovered from his injuries, he returned to the rooftop position. The town returned to normal as civilians took to the streets, and Pete, wielding a sniper rifle, proceeded to pick off the civilians Ciril N. Leichseuring and Benson Z. Bodenhamer as they relaxed at the front door to his building. Pete proceeded to shoot Laner and his fellow Marshal Ernest W. Otis, as well as the local lawmen Agustus Y. Harbough, Dalton D. Wilhelm, Clarbourn L. Darnold, Iva K. Slawter, and Maton E. Huskey before being wounded.

As evening set in, Pete purchased more ammunition before gunning down the lawman Lilburn X. Smullen in the street. This incident provoked yet another shootout as Pete, dual-wielding a revolver and sawn-off shotgun, blasted the lawman Harlie I. Stillson before being shot and wounded by Tabrannus K. Riddee.

By then, Valentine's law enforcement had been greatly depleted by Pete's rampage, and the townspeople were again forced to turn to the two gunslingers for help as a murderous horde of armed rascals planned to sack Valentine. Arizona agreed, while Pete was dragged along to help him and seek redemption. The two men guided ten armed townspeople to positions of cover before preparing to take on several waves of low-lives. They killed the outlaws Rome P. Brower, Fenton S. McClailn, Myers O. Brinshaws, Hilary L. Chasteen, Alberto K. Gaskill, Peyton T. Mader, Clarence C. Dennon, Bliss O. Bridgeford, Felton K. Herriman, Melvin P. Albro, Monroe T. Elston, Ossian Y. Lacister, Mannington X. Harrold, Eldred S. Sweem, Waldo H. Hastinson, Colt Q. Maholm, Clyde G. Lay, Clayborn N. Star, Fisher R.

Nedrow, and Irven Q. Stibley before being overrun; however, the townspeople survived with light injuries, and the outlaws were ultimately unable to take anything of value from the town.

Arizona and Pete proceeded to restock on ammunition at the gun store, and Pete returned to his usual habit of attracting the law. Pete killed the local lawmen Don H. McCormick, Roscoe S. Gaylor, Omar G. Hockell, and Chalmers P. Buker and the US Marshals Dale Q. Kennedy, Finley T. Irnus, Burgess Z. Insalman, Keith A. Marrs, Pearson A. Kiester, Jerome I. Fanny, Laurance C. Thirlwell, Estes C. Gasha, Emer B. Thaler, Slolman K. Schuster, Elzy P. Brookin, Hamer O. Shiholder, Merl I. McDaniel, Wylie T. Cane, Alonzo Y. Crean, Amil M. Sturtevant, Jeff F. Ollinger, Talmadge D. Lanahan, Judson R. Tucker, Author U. Davisson, Shelby T. Geuinne, Hand O. Harkins, and Hollis T. Senseny from his usual spot. Upon noticing the approach of a train in the distance, Pete encouraged Arizona to join him in fleeing aboard the train. The two rushed to the station, Pete on horseback and Arizona on foot, and managed to hop aboard the train as it left town.

Arizona shooting Pete's pursuers from the train

As the train approached a tunnel near Cornwall Kerosene & Tar, Pete hijacked the train, sparing Murphy J. Dewit's life and taking the controls. The train was approaching the Oklahoma-Louisiana border when a band of bounty hunters rushed in to claim Pete's bounty. Pete had Arizona shoot the bounty hunters as he drove the train, and Arizona shot Barny K. Mashburn, Darius E. Horsman, Meyer D. O'Harra, Hjalmer O. Olney, Booker A. Manness, Cooper B. Litterman, Werner C. Bereridge, Harvy X. Wishart, Waldo A. Cool, Allie V. Selleg, and Wheaton A. Alt. When the train reached the remote Bayou Nwa, Pete decided to flee and lay low, and Arizona rested for a while as well.

Arizona remained in Bayou Nwa until Pete returned days later, and the two of them engaged in a shooting contest, shooting at each other with sniper rifles. This attracted hostile attention from the Louisiana Raiders Marlon G. Whithead, Ishman L. Hogue, and Benjamine B. Brandon, whom the two outlaws shot dead. After some time, the two decided to call a truce, and Pete murdered the wagon driver Oren N. Good with his shotgun, as well as killing his horses. When Pete attempted to shoot another driver to steal his wagon, the driver escaped, leaving Pete and Arizona stranded in the bayou.

The two also greeted the outlaw Jiffy Pope as he camped out in the bayou, after which Pete, positioned in a covered bridge, shot Hall I. Link as he piloted a rowboat down the Black River. Arizona and Pete took over the rowboat and rowed up the Ouachita River, enjoying a few moments of peace and scenic exploration before Pete attracted the attention of the law by shooting passers-by with his sniper rifle. Lawmen rode to the banks of the river and fired upon the boat, causing the wooden craft to take on water.

Arizona was forced to beach the boat on one of the Black River's muddy shores in rural Catahoula Parish, across the river from Parhams. They shot the US Marshals Casimiro X. Halt and Cyril E. Beely before running to the nearby Hill Haven Ranch, where they took cover in a pigsty and fought off both dogs and lawmen. They shot the Marshals Lorenz W. Sewell, Took G. McBenson, Acie I. Dann, Hobart O. Weintz, and Chance Y. Casford before entering the ranch's main building, where Arizona took a swig of some stolen whiskey.

The two then emerged from the house to battle the Marshals in the open, killing Cloyd P. Bennett, Alward V. Coburn, Squire K. Buschgens, Sim H. Espinasse, Don E. Schwartz, Atticus B. Cimmen, Eldred R. McNeil, Dennie F. Oedaker, Young B. Burrell, Williard G. Hardin, Bernhard O. Neely, Cortez Z. Corney, William D. Hunnell, Wendell J. Benie, Eyes W. Riss, Lorenzo H. Herbaugh, Roby T. Rankins, Curtis Z. Viehland, and White M. Galligan as they attempted to storm the ranch.

After fighting off dozens of lawmen, Arizona and Pete ran to a nearby hill to ambush the Marshals Gilford K. Gestwite and Candido R. Weidmer as they road up a dirt road to search for them. The outlaws got the jump on the lawmen, shooting them dead and putting an end to the law's search parties.

Arizona and Pete riding away from the ranch

While the two men celebrated for a moment, they soon discovered that the law had only scattered to make way for an army of bounty hunters intent on claiming Pete's hefty bounty. The two outlaws fortified themselves in the ranch's kitchen, with each gunslinger keeping watch over a door. The two outlaws fought for their lives as around twenty guns-for-hire attempted to claim their bounties; at Arizona's door alone, Erastus R. Goodsell, Otis I. Hoss, Orson D. McGurie, Prichard W. Wintz, Wilton J. Wipperd, Ballard A. Warner, Earlis W. Grandstaff, Issac D. Metzger, Eber P. Groff, Able R. Mohan, Gustavus B. Getter, Simon T. Shamp, Less V. Rudder, and Norval N. Overman were riddled with bullets, forming a heaping pile of corpses. After the attacks abated, Arizona and Pete fled into the wilderness, where they killed their last pursuers Benedick C. Condon and Thad T. Fate.

With the bounty hunters dead, Arizona and Pete decided to ride into the nearby town of Rhodes to restock on ammunition. After visiting Jasper Feeney's shop and buying additional cartridges for their guns, the two decided to visit the Rhodes Parlour House; Arizona changed out of his hunting outfit and donned his more gentlemanly suit, while Pete continued to wear his leather outfit and ogled the prostitute Sarah Lee Andrews as she left the bar. Arizona had two beers and ate some nuts to nourish himself, while Pete drank excessively and aggressively flirted with the gentlewoman Sally Beth Lewis and recounted the exploits of that day. An inebriated Pete, spurned by the woman, shot her dead, causing a panic in the parlor house.

As US Marshals responded to the murder, Arizona and Pete again found themselves under siege, this time within the parlor house. During the shootout, chaos broke loose as another band of outlaws engaged in a shootout nearby (dividing the law's attention) and a lawman's horse burst through the saloon window. Arizona and Pete killed the lawmen Hollie E. Landrum, Abbie R. Gillam, Hanison E. Baker, Alonza W. Millman, Hence U. Voorhis, Cleveland G. Kaiger, Oscar D. Goldammer, Harrison P. Jenni, Florilla Q. Wishman, Elza Z. Preston, Paul V. Hedger, Creed Y. Faster, Malvin Z. McCune, Cicero P. Breeze, Emanuel O. McCoy, Dale T. Goldsmith, Oswald W. Haley, Wilber R. Lydick, and Haxm V. Doss both in the parlor house and on Rhodes' streets before the two men escaped the law's attention.

Eager to cause new trouble, Pete found the gentlewoman Signe N. McFarland strolling around the town's stock yards, and he decided to kidnap her. Pete failed to keep another woman, Lilia L. Gookins, tied down for long, and he proceeded to ride to the banks of the Red River (near Latanier, Rapides Parish) to use McFarland for alligator bait. The law responded to the kidnapping, shooting at Pete and cutting McFarland free. Arizona chose not to concern himself with the shootout and instead decided to fish on the riverbank.

After the lawmen shot Little Pete as he tried to swim across the river - and believing him dead - one of the lawmen, Basil H. Burwell, approached Arizona. The cocky lawman demanded that Arizona move aside, but Arizona, preoccupied with fishing, stood firm. Burwell proceeded to aim a gun at Arizona and announce that Arizona was under arrest, forcing Arizona to put away his fishing rod, draw his revolver, and shoot Burwell and his fellow Marshals Cloyd C. Bayles, Harvey S. Titterington, and Jaeze R. Wheeler.

The two outlaws proceeded to flee into the bayou wilderness near present-day Kolin, Rapides Parish, where they were tracked down by US Marshals. The outlaw Ellison P. Westbrook joined them in killing the corrupt lawmen, including Victor T. Buck, Claude B. Grall, Seymour Q. McGran, Gideon A. Shockley, Freeman E. Vaught, Zack E. McConnely, Dwight V. Tidwell, Lake C. Hawk, Tobias O. Mallow, Care O. Winklemann, Resin H. Waltermire, Wesley B. Munford, Zeddekiah V. Humiger, and Carded S. Broaday.

Arizona shooting a bounty hunter at Hagen Orchards

Afterwards, Arizona and Pete fled on foot to the Hagen Orchards plantation north of Darrow, Ascension Parish, where they lost the law and decided to take a moment to go fishing. While fishing from the dock behind the plantation, they soon received word that bounty hunters were coming to claim Pete's growing bounty. The two outlaws took up shelter in the fishing shed and killed the bounty hunters Benjiman F. Fenton, Graves U. Dahl, Claiborne E. Crist, Ellery J. Flersher, Kirby N. Pence, Noel V. Gillman, Arlonus N. Floyd, Judge Z. Minear, Oren I. Dow, Emmerson E. Fitzpatrick, Dewit Q. Gifford, Delmer O. Shiley, Lornazo F. Eeren, Bluford I. Harmon, Gardner Y. Krauley, Vance M. Cochren, Elijah Y. Pruneau, and Alphonse Z. Cood before swimming across the Mississippi River to Macomb's End.

Arizona and Pete shooting bounty hunters at Macomb's End

There, the two outlaws prepared to face off against the bounty hunters who had pursued them from Hagen Orchards. The two outlaws watched as the bounty hunters emerged from the mist before battling them in the ruins of Merkin's Waller, killing Ellison J. Hager, Jaeze T. Gagnebin, Sin L. Vosburgh, and Hershel S. Lackie. With the bounty hunters dead, Arizona recommended that Pete join him in traveling north to Van Horn, a lawless town where he believed they could lose their pursuers.

Arizona and Little Pete sniping bounty hunters

Arizona and Little Pete arrived in Van Horn that night, and Little Pete took an interest in the Van Horn lighthouse. Arizona was reluctant to veer off course until he discovered that the bounty hunters were catching up to him, causing the two outlaws to climb the lighthouse and take shelter on its balcony. From there, they drew sniper rifles and fired on the hunters, killing Webster G. Covey, Peter M. Modlin, Morgan P. Battle, Brent S. Thiam, Ott G. Busey, Solomon V. Felt, Reeves V. Keikhaum, Marks O. McLaughlin, Benuj O. Tansel, Russell C. Clinkenbeard, Commodore Y. Waller, Nels G. Most, Algie R. Hastinson, and Houston F. Keathley. The two outlaws massacred the bounty hunters without suffering a single gunshot wound, their position greatly advantageous. When they descended the tower, they found a pile of dead horses and guns-for-hire at the entrance.

Little Pete and Arizona on the Mississippi

Free of the bounty hunters, the two outlaws let loose in Van Horn. There, they got into fights with the rowdy locals, killing Gilbert E. Crisp, Axel V. Hardinger, Gaines O. Gasche, and Albany F. Hodge in the street. Hoping to escape the Wild West and find freedom, the two then took to the river and stole a small boat, which they intended to sail to Mississippi on the other side. However, the boat took on water and began to sink, forcing the two of them to return to town and abandon their goal of fleeing the West.

The two men returned to the saloon to drink their sorrows away, accepting defeat. While there, Arizona got into a fight with Bluford I. Hastings, whom he shot in the head. Arizona went on to shoot Juan B. Soper and White F. Farrington dead after they attempted to intervene. Not long after, the bounty hunters - having heard of the latest shootout - tracked the two outlaws to the saloon. Arizona shot Abbie H. Gibe when he attempted to join in the fight, and he and Pete hunkered down in the saloon and shot Eduard O. Killy, Fuller R. Thau, Preston Z. Walcott, Enos H. Lespeire, Ocie V. Shompert, Asmus G. Sievens, Mason J. Hutson, Kenneth M. Potts, Carleton T. Sanche, Jarvis W. Oster, Franz F. Toms, Anias Q. Gatlin, Malh L. Eisley, Danl V. Dickson, Seldon A. Mariane, Huestes W. Isaman, Sammie T. McLentic, Silvester M. Farrer, Loney D. McWinthey, and Absolom G. Wakleger, as well as the hostile locals Bush D. Rugg and Junior F. Manahan.

Arizona blasting the bounty hunters in Annesburg

With the bounty hunters dead, the outlaws made their way north to Annesburg, where they met the gunslinger Boogie Norris as they interacted with the locals. Their brief respite in town was crashed by another wave of bounty hunters, resulting in another shootout. Arizona and Pete joined forces to kill Heulet B. Galusha, Freeman M. Morrin, Mervin P. McKinnie, Donaciano A. Gorely, Carlton K. Bakeman, Hic C. Falch, Hutchinson L. Dauson, Gorge Y. Trexler, Fones I. Corey, Marion G. Capps, Truman Y. Cockran, Wheeler F. Chodt, Cullen G. Dunnigan, Samuel F. Beerman, Olin E. Warthen, Felton J. La Selle, Clarance N. Houser, Mills I. Clunen, and Basil E. Burnes, after which they made their way north to the forested shack of Manito Glade to lay low.

Arizona and Little Pete at Brandywine Drop

The bounty hunters kept up their pursuit, tracking the two outlaws down to the woods. The shootout made its way to the banks of the Black River and up to Brandywine Drop, and the two gunslingers killed the hunters Jerome X. Munroe, Virgil O. Olson, Asad R. Henna, Levander S. Wunsh, and Jabez F. Goodshaw before Arizona was shot and wounded. The hunters, thinking him dead, left with their bounty collected, but Arizona soon recovered from his wounds and laid low.

Weeks later, Arizona traveled from Arkansas to New Orleans, where he searched for new work. He met with Anthony Foreman, who hired him to crash a wedding party and assassinate several guests; Foreman reassured Arizona that even "evil people" got married, and told him not to let his conscience get in his way. Arizona proceeded to ride to the Garden District, where he found the wedding guests meeting at a large mansion. Arizona murdered the guests Erwan Leboeuf, Siméon Saulnier, Zéphyrin Babin, Marceau Raymond, Augustin Theriault, Renaud Gareau, Eusèbe Savoy, Lucien Semer, Gontran Mazerolle, Lilian Granger, Carlos Bonvillain, Humbert Belanger, Dietrich Doucet, Maria Comeau, and Huberte Bordelon in a massive shootout at the mansion, chasing one of them down to the corn fields outside of town and blasting him.

After killing all of the targets and collecting his $10 payment from Foreman, Arizona decided to relax on the town. He visited Doyle's Tavern, which he found to be packed with Chinese prostitutes and Irish and Black laborers, and he grabbed a drink at the pub to celebrate his success. As morning broke, Arizona walked over to the barbershop to get a haircut, shortening his hair and fashioning his mustache. He then decided to update his wardrobe, buying a bright-colored, French-influenced outfit featuring a light blue jacket, a white shirt, a blue and white vest, and red pants. With this new outfit, Arizona decided to get his photo taken by a professional at his studio, paying $5 for a photo with himself in his new outfit while donning his full equipment.
