The other half of the unlockable skins in Evil West can be purchased via the digital storefront that you’re playing the game on. It’s called the Wild Wild East Skin Pack (pictured above) and will run you a mere $2.99 USD. It includes the Golden Defender outfit, comprised of skins for your Outfit, Hat, and Bandana, as well as 5 Golden Relic skins for the Rifle, Revolver, Boomstick, Zapper, and Gauntlet.

It’s important to note that skins are strictly cosmetic items and do not affect your stats or gameplay in any way. Additionally, the cool thing about skins is that they can be swapped in and out during gameplay by heading to your Character page. So there’s no need to have to wait between levels to change your look, which makes things very efficient.
