	::The Sheriff's Badge, believe it or not, actually gives you a temporary damage boost and also gives you some protection from the outlaws' bullets by causing them to be less likely to hit you and/or the hits they do land dealing less damage. It's a pretty negligible power-up if you're playing on the "Good" (Easy) difficulty setting, but do a playthrough on Ugly and you'll see the difference when you pick one up and will be thrilled when you come across one. They have the same effect in multiplayer matches as well (which is where the damage boost ''really'' shines). I've noticed a lot of people—especially those who have only recently discovered the game since it was rereleased on GOG, but even several OG players—mistake the Sheriff's Badge for a useless trinket and nothing more, and I suspect that's because they mostly play on Good, where the in-game enemies are hardly a challenge anyway. I'll be honest, even ''I'' dismissed it as such when I played Outlaws growing up, but it was later explained to me by someone else what its purpose actually was in-game and I realized it after doing full, strategic playthroughs on Bad and Ugly. I think the game's manual explains that as well, but I can't remember. I'll have to dig out my original 2-disc copy and check lol. --[[User:JaredChastain1\| -Jared]] ([[User talk:JaredChastain1\|talk]]) 16:51, 9 October 2023 (UTC)		::The Sheriff's Badge, believe it or not, actually gives you a temporary damage boost and also gives you some protection from the outlaws' bullets by causing them to be less likely to hit you and/or the hits they do land dealing less damage.

	According to the inside cover of this magazine, these "scary looking varmints" are, from left to right, Stephen Shaw, the lead programmer for ''Outlaws''; Adam Schnitzer, lead background artist; Daron Stinnett, project leader; and Charlie Ramos, lead animator. The Western wear apparently came from Roger Bubel of Amusement Concepts located at Marine World Africa USA in Vallejo, California. Can anyone identify the long gun held by Stinnett, at least? Could it be the reference the dev team used for the "Winchester Rifle" in the game? The other firearms are too dark and blend into the background too well to make out much if any detail on them. --[[User:Mazryonh\|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh\|talk]]) 13:15, 30 September 2023 (UTC)		According to the inside cover of this magazine, these "scary looking varmints" are, from left to right, Stephen Shaw, the lead programmer for ''Outlaws''; Adam Schnitzer, lead background artist; Daron Stinnett, project leader; and Charlie Ramos, lead animator.

More than likely it's a toy or non-firing replica of some sort, but the lighting in the image is too dark for me to tell really. As for whether or not they used it as a reference for the rifle in-game, I suppose it's possible, because as I stated in the section for the rifle on the page, the receiver definitely has aspects that resemble that of a Winchester '73 (i.e. the receiver and the shape of the side plate), but has the brass frame of a Winchester Model 1866.--[[User:JaredChastain1\| -Jared]] ([[User talk:JaredChastain1\|talk]]) 15:19, 3 October 2023 (UTC)		:That looks like it's most likely a replica of a [[Winchester Model 1873]] to me.
