Quick Answer
Far Far West Guide currently ships three live guides — a Beginner Guide (first 30 minutes, first bounty, first week), a full Spells & Reactions breakdown across the five elemental schools, and Best Builds covering five named community loadouts. Weapons, Co-op, Locations and Boss guides are sourced and queued. Every page cites at least three independent sources and lists them in full at the bottom — we do not playtest in-game.
How we source our Far Far West guides
We do not own the game. Every guide synthesizes at least 3 independent sources — community guides, named YouTube creators, official Steam News and the four public Far Far West wikis — and rewrites them in our voice. Numerical facts are cited; opinions are flagged. Each page lists its sources in full at the bottom, with access dates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Far Far West guide should I read first?
Start with the Beginner Guide if you have not killed your first bounty yet — it covers the first 30 minutes, first bounty and first week. Once you are past the early game, jump to Spells & Reactions for the elemental matrix or Best Builds for five named community loadouts.
Are these guides playtested?
No. We do not own the game and do not playtest in-game. Numerical facts are independently compiled from publicly available game data, then rewritten in our voice; opinions are flagged.
How often are the guides updated?
Each guide carries a Last Verified date and, where relevant, the patch version it was checked against. We re-audit when a major patch lands or when community consensus on a build shifts. The hub itself is dated so you can see at a glance how fresh the cycle is.
How many guides are live right now?
Three guides are live: Beginner Guide, Spells & Reactions and Best Builds. Weapons, Co-op, Locations & Bounties and Boss Guides have their sources audited and are queued — those cards on this page are intentionally not clickable until each draft ships.
Why don't you publish original strats?
Far Far West is in Early Access and the meta moves quickly. The strongest signal is what experienced players are converging on. Compiling that consensus and showing our work is more honest than pretending we discovered it.
