• Search Coot's Chapel: Find the ruins of Coot's chapel in the wilds of Cholla Springs, and search it for treasure.
• Complete the Twin Rocks Hideout: Find the legendary criminal hideout of Twin Rocks, located North of the town of Armadillo, to complete this final challenge.

This special edition of the game also comes with the original soundtrack along with special packaging.
