Weird West: How to unlock the Fighting Pit

Weird West is a sandbox adventure that will take players through some of the strangest locations and scenarios on this side of the Mississippi. Disciplined travelers are likely to come upon regions that don't make sense right away, such as the Fighting Pit, causing bewilderment. The Fighting Pit is marked with a symbol with a snake in the north-western portion of El Castillo Desert. Players will see that the location lives up to its name, with a bleeding pit in the center of the map and bandit-types roaming around the perimeter of the ring asking adventurers if they'd want to try their luck in the Pit.

Unfortunately, there is no way to activate the Fighting Pit until Journey 2 begins, and even then, it's just for a brief duration during the second chapter's primary mission. There's no way to reuse the Fighting Pit right now, which is a shame because combat in the Weird West is an exciting highlight of the bizarre missions.

The chance to fight your way through a series of gladiatorial arenas with a variety of enemy types and situations to face off against your crew would be a pleasant one. However, as it is today, it's a far too brief incursion set against a backdrop of wonderful storytelling.
