War Thunder PS4 Packs: A Rootin' Tootin' Six Shooter Fantasy

Instead of facing off against ordinary foes in body armor, War Thunder's latest expansion, Smoke & Thunder, pits players against cowboy-hat-wearing badasses with a penchant for armoring up as well. This time around, there are three difficulty levels to choose from, but newcomers should be prepared for a wild ride - and don't say we didn't warn you! Completing the campaign missions unlocks them for play in arcade mode later on.

Selecting the campaign option is reminiscent of Cloudhead Games' previous cyberpunk-themed expansion, 2089. Players embark on a journey as a female protagonist searching for her sister in the untamed Wild West. The game's soundtrack has been bolstered by contributions from artists like The Heavy, DEVORA, Blast Pistol Fire, Bones UK, and Magic Sword, which can be explored by toggling details in the main menu.

Cinematic and stylized story cutscenes separate each of the five missions, culminating in an epic boss battle. But what really sets Smoke & Thunder apart is its baked-in dual pistol option for players. It's a loopy twist that's hard to resist - imagine Will Smith's Wild Wild West with far superior music, sans Kenneth Branagh, but with electro-shotguns, shields, and other zany elements.

Pistol Whip's newest expansion has once again shaken things up, offering a fresh take on the Wild West. With Smoke & Thunder, Cloudhead Games has proven that they're not afraid to mix it up and keep their game exciting. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the series, this latest installment is sure to provide hours of entertainment.
