"Breaker Barracks" challenge

Upgrade the bow with +50% damage to destroy the targets in a single shot (without a power shot). Note: To upgrade the bow easier, earn a bronze medal to get Something Stringy.

"Bullhead Court Shield" challenge

Immediately after blocking an attack, keep blocking. Some turrets will shoot four balls, or a hidden monster may attack. If you have two hits or less against the final enemy, stand directly next to the edge and wait for him to charge before jumping off. He should follow you off the cliff, and you will only get one hit. Note: Although it states that the requirement for a gold medal is two or fewer hits, you can actually be hit three times and still qualify.

"Shingles Fang Repeater" challenge

Lock on to your targets until you empty your magazine, then roll forward while reloading.

"Slinger Range" challenge

You cannot get negative points. Begin shooting just before the first target appears to get a few extra points.

New Game Plus mode

Successfully complete the game. Start a new game session to retain your previous experience, weapons, and upgrades. You can also build structures in any order.

Recommended starting weapons

The Machete with the Breaker's Bow is useful in the first few levels. The Machete does well against enemies at close range and the Breaker's Bow can destroy two turrets with one shot. Get three Carrion Bones to upgrade your Repeater crossbow. The Repeater is fast and deals more damage than the Breaker's Bow. Add the homing upgrade and it will always finds a target.
