Desperados 3 Cheats and Tips

Take a look at our Desperados 3 cheats and tips to get help in this real-time tactics stealth game that follows the journey of John Cooper, a wandering bounty hunter as he traverses through the 1870s wild frontier tracking down the ruthless gunslinger named Frank whom he has a score to settle. The game is available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Desperados 3 Cheats and Tips

In addition to John Cooper, Desperados 3 also includes four other playable characters who join Cooper on his quest. These are the runaway bride Kate O'Hara, shady Arthur 'Doc' McCoy, the giant trapper Hector, and Isabelle Moreau, a mysterious lady from New Orleans.

  • Use Foot Trails to Set Up Traps

    There are some missions on Desperados 3 where walking around will leave your foot trails behind you. This can cause you problems as the foot trail can be tracked by enemies and lead them to where you are.

    Foot trails however can be used to your advantage by having them lure enemies away from their normal patrol to incapacitate them quietly and safely away from prying eyes.

  • Make Use of Unlimited Skills

    Each of the five playable characters in Desperados 3 has their own unique abilities and skills which can be used as many times as you want. Make sure you are familiar with them and their cooldown periods and take full advantage of them during the game.

    Check out our Weapons and Skills Guide to find out what unlimited skills each of the characters has at their disposal.

  • Check Different Camera Views

    Rotation of the camera is useful in locations densly occupied by the enemy as it enables you to change the camera positon and allow you to see an enemy that was previously invisible. Zooming in the camera view is also helpful, especially indoors when you are searching for small items.

  • Use Showdown Mode

    Don't forget to use Showdown Mode whenever you come across a difficult situation as this feature enables you to stop time and plan out an elaborate mousetrap maneuver involving the other playable characters in the group. When Showdown Mode is activated you will be able to look around the map and evaluate the tactical situation.

  • Don't Forget to Quick Save

    Desperados 3 has a forgiving quick save system, and as long as you make a backup save before attempting a plan you will rarely be penalized. Although the game will periodically display quick save reminders you should get into the habit of regularly using this feature anyway so when you die you don't lose all the momentum you gained.

    Check out our Missions Guide to find out what missions you will encounter as you travel around the Wild West.
