DeathSpank's arsenal of armaments has greatly expanded, with ranged weapons such as pistols, rifles, machine guns, shot guns, ray guns, hand grenades, and bazookas joining the already expansive melee-centric selection of swords, axes, hammers, clubs, and wands from the first game. Hothead is hoping to further balance the game's combat with the introduction of this new ranged artillery, creating a fast-paced and engaging experience that doesn't rely so heavily on the "slash, run, heal" patterns of the first.
Many weapons will still retain elemental attributes vital for discovering and exploiting enemy weaknesses. For example, after finding his physical weapons ineffective, DeathSpank easily and safely dispatched a crowd of Vengeful Cowboy Ghosts from a distance by chucking a few Nature-infused hand grenades at the ectoplasmic apparitions.
