Far Far West Guide: How to Unlock Every Mount
Upgrade Your Ride: The Complete Checklist for Every Mechanical Steed
Quick Answer: Mounts in Far Far West are purely cosmetic and will not actually increase your travel speed over sprinting. You can manage your garage at the Rootin’ Tootin’ Shack in the main lobby, where most mechanical horses are bought with Gold, except for the Flash Mcequine which requires completing Otto’s questline on the Canyon map.
Let us be completely honest. Sprinting across a sun-baked, haunted desert on foot is a terrible look for a legendary bounty hunter. You kick off your adventure with a rusted-out bucket of bolts, but a whole roster of premium mechanical beasts is waiting to be claimed.
Do not expect these vehicles to save your life in a shootout or drastically cut down your travel times. Mounts are all about style. They offer zero movement speed advantage over your standard sprint. Even so, upgrading your ride is an absolute must if you care about your frontier aesthetic. Here is exactly how to fill up your mechanical stable.
Where to Buy and Equip Your Vehicles
You cannot just whistle for a new horse while dodging bullets out in the badlands. All of your vehicle management happens back at the main hub.
Load into the lobby and pan over to the right side of the camp. Look for a building labeled the Rootin’ Tootin’ Shack. This spot functions as your personal garage. Inside, you can spend your hoarded Gold on shiny new rides and equip whatever you have already unlocked. Always double-check that your favorite mount is actively selected before you jump into matchmaking.
Since you are already at the hub spending cash on your appearance, you might as well match your clothes to your new ride. Read our comprehensive guide on how to unlock every outfit in Far Far West to get your gunslinger looking just as lethal as your mechanical steed.
The Complete Mount Roster
Right now, you can collect six unique mounts. Some are cheap upgrades, while others will demand serious grinding.
| Mount Name | Rarity & Appearance | How to Get It |
| Roach | Normal. A rusted, bare-bones starter horse. | Available in your garage by default. |
| Rodulph | Fine. A festive reindeer sporting holiday bulbs and a red nose. | Buy it from the Rootin’ Tootin’ Shack for 1,500 Gold. |
| Sandy | Fine. A heavy-duty cargo horse. | Buy it from the Rootin’ Tootin’ Shack for 1,500 Gold. |
| Nyxie | Mythic. A sleek blue build featuring a bull ring and horns. | Buy it from the Rootin’ Tootin’ Shack for 5,000 Gold. |
| Phantom | Legendary. An aggressive, skeletal nightmare machine. | Buy it from the Rootin’ Tootin’ Shack for a massive 25,000 Gold. |
| Flash Mcequine V6 Ultra Turbo | Mythic. A high-tech beast painted with hot rod fire decals. | Earned by beating Otto’s questline on the Canyon map. |
Beating Otto’s License Exams
If you want the Flash Mcequine, you have to put your wallet away and actually play the game. This is the only ride tied directly to quest progression.
Head over to the Canyon map and track down Otto. Talking to him starts the “Horsin’ Around The Far Far West” quest. Otto will not just hand the keys over. He forces you to pass a grueling three-part rider’s exam:
- The Written Test: A surprisingly difficult trivia check about game mechanics.
- The Riding Test: A practical exam to prove you can steer.
- The Parkour Challenge: A tricky platforming sequence to cap off the quest.
The written portion trips up a lot of players. Keep a cheat sheet handy for Otto’s Rules of the West so you can nail a perfect score on your first try.
Saving Up for the Phantom
The Phantom is the ultimate status symbol, but that 25,000 Gold price tag is no joke. Dropping that much currency early in your playthrough will completely destroy your economy.
You need a healthy balance between buying cool cosmetics and actually upgrading your core weapons and spells. Focus on your combat progression first. Once your damage output is high enough to comfortably farm endgame bounties, you can start stashing cash for that legendary skeleton horse.
