Western 1849- Tips and Cheats: The Strategy Guide


Western 1849 is a new Time Crisis-style shooting game for the iPhone and iPad. This game takes you back to the Wild West, when gold had just been discovered in California, and as the new sheriff in town, it’s your job to drive the bandits away from the town and to keep the peace for as long as you possibly can. Read on for some tips and tricks for Western 1849!

When you first begin the game, the control sensitivity is very high. It will still be fairly easy to aim if you’re playing on the iPad, but if you’re playing on my iPhone, then you have a very hard time being accurate. Go back to the main menu, then go to the control setting, and decrease the sensitivity. Play with it until you find a setting that is comfortable for you.



If you want to upgrade your firepower, you can either buy a new primary or secondary gun, we can upgrade the gun that you currently have. The first thing that you should do is buy Grandpas Gun, which is cheap and has far more firepower than the Rubbish Gun. After that, you can go to the weapon shack and upgrade your secondary gun in order to increase its firepower, it’s accuracy, and it’s clip.

Try to stay behind cover as much as possible, especially when there is a large number of bandits on the screen. When you are behind cover, you can’t be shot, so poke out real quick, shoot a minute or two, and then drive back behind cover again. When you need to change directions, look in the other direction as quickly as possible before driving back behind cover.


When you are on the main menu screen, hit the trophy button in the upper left corner of the screen to check out your achievements. Each time that you complete an achievement, you will be able to claim the prize here, which usually consists of coins. This is one of the best ways to earn coins, so complete achievements as quickly as possible and then purchase more firepower.

For the most part you will play the same stages over and over again, so remember where enemies show each time you play. Even on tougher versions of the same stage, the enemies will typically show up in the same places.
