How to unlock the Fighting Pit in Weird West

Prepare to have your hopes dashed in the Fighting Pit of Weird West.

The sandbox adventure of Weird West will bring players through some of the most bizarre landscapes and situations on this side of the Mississippi. Diligent wayfarers are likely to stumble into areas that won’t immediately make sense, such as the Fighting Pit, possibly leading to confusion.

Unfortunately, there is no means of triggering the Fighting Pit until Journey 2 begins, and it’s a brief moment at that, which takes place during the main quest of the second chapter.

The opportunity to push through a type of gladiatorial arenas, featuring multiple enemy types and diverse environments to clash against your posse, would be a welcome one. As it stands now, however, it’s an all-too-brief foray against a background of brilliant storytelling.
