Abandoned Towns

There are abandoned towns dotted across the West, which are usually occupied by outlaws, Ridgebacks, and Zombies (only during a plague outbreak). Once an abandoned town is cleared of enemies, a new group of enemies will eventually settle in. If all inhabitants of a normal town are killed, the town will temporarily become abandoned and be filled with enemies. The town, however, will eventually recover and new people will move in. Towns that are abandonned from the start can never recover.

Trivia

• The "riffle" typo on the walls of gun shops is an actual mistake during development. The developers fixed it by adding a red "X" over the extra "f".
• At saloons, sometimes patrons drank too much and go outside to vomit.
• Running around the pianos at saloons sometimes irritate the musicians. They might say things like "Hey! You soured my note!"
• In very rare occasions, Amulets can be found in water towers.
• It's possible to ring the school bells by shooting them.
• If the quest Them Bones, Them Bones is given by an undertaker of a town and then completed. A mound cache will be spawned behind the undertaker's house in that town. It contains a list of the dead, a diagram of the location of their graves, and various personal belongings. This implies the undertaker has been stealing items from the deceased.
