*********************************MERCHANT**************************************
Smash all crates in the area, may have a snake in one, and grab the gold bars
in the chest. Go into the shack, snag the herb, and meet this most crucial of
merchants in the game.
Sell your handgun, Shotgun, and Rifle; buy the Blacktail, Riot Gun, and Semi-
Auto Rifle. These shinny new weapons are about at the level of their former
selves with only a small margin of lessness (they have smaller capacity than
their predecessors). And of course buy the attache case Large upgrade for the
much needed room. Then you may get any number of upgrades available; I got the
Riot gun's power, Blacktail's all available, but you don't need anything for
the rifle just yet. Get the scope for this rifle too. Also, if you bought the
TMP, go ahead and upgrade it too.
*NOTE: It you held off on the TMP because of space for those rockets, then now
is the time to buy it if you wish. There are no bosses for a long time. Or,
you could continue selling the TMP ammo you find and skip the gun altogether.
It's not required for the game. That said, I still say get it, but skip the
stock for it. Try to save the ammo for it too and only use as a last resort.*
*NOTE: If you kept the Punisher, then you don't have to buy the Blacktail.
Just know that the Punisher will be about half as powerful as the Blacktail
when both are fully upgraded, but all else is about even.*
*NOTE: Buy the Mine thrower, but not the scope. Will be like more grenades.
But only buy if you have lots of space.*
*NOTE: Yes, you may keep every weapon and buy whatever, but you will get plenty
of money to buy anything in this runthrough. However, if you want to challenge
yourself a bit you can keep these weapons and never change; this means less
effort to obtain the new weapons in a Round 2. The old weapons will prove to
be archaic as they only upgrade to a point, which the newer weapons can easily
pass. All depends on your skill level.*
*NOTE: Yes, there are two other new guns: the Broken Butterfly and the Mine
Thrower. The BB will be free later so don't buy it, ever. The MT is great if
you're into that sort of thing*
*NOTE: The Riot Gun is a small improvement on the upgraded shotgun, but does
have improved handling. However, you won't have the Riot Gun for long either.
It will be sold by the last third of the game. Give it a few upgrades here
and there if you do buy it.*
Get the new Rifle out and proceed to the first Castle fight, and it's a big
one (not really).
*FINAL NOTE: You are out of the Village, so you no longer need to save your
grenades and shotgun shells. In fact, you will use them quite a bit in the
Castle. I will let you know when to hold onto stuff though.*
