Wild West 2016 Prize Guide: Act 2, Prize 1 Tumbleweed

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The Wild West is alive and well in our Springfields!  As the Wild West Event has hit our games and it’s full of old west inspired decorations, buildings & characters!

This Event is broken up into 3 Acts, with each Act containing part of the story.  To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act.  Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event.  For the Second Act you’re tasked with collecting Deputy Badges         () to unlock each prize!

The very first Act 2 prize (and first prize of the entire event) is awarded at 1,190 is the Tumbleweed, because every Old West town needs that Tumbleweed to roll by.

So let’s take a closer look at this first prize and just what happens when you unlock it in your Springfield…

Once you’ve collected 1,190  you’ll automatically be awarded the Tumbleweed and you’ll see this message popup:

The Tumbleweed will automatically enter into your Springfield.  You won’t have an option to store it.

Once it arrives in Springfield you’ll see it’s character unlock message (yes the Tumbleweed is a character…):

And it’s part of the Old West Partners Character Collection:

 

The Tumbleweed is an NPC.  It does not have tasks and will not earn you an additional currency.

It is animated, in that it rolls around your Springfield.  And when you tap on it it disappears…

You will get a task that pops up once you’ve won the Tumbleweed:

Rollin’ Rollin’ Rollin’ Pt. 1
Auto starts

Tap Tumbleweed- Tap the Tumbleweed and watch the animation..

And there you have it the details behind the Tumbleweed…the weed that tumbles.

What’s Next?
Well there is 1 prize after the Tumbleweed, 200 Guns.  I’m not going to do separate posts about them as it’s pretty basic.  Once you unlock it, more guns will be added to your gun total.

Here’s a quick breakdown…

Awarded at 1,910.  This will add 200 Guns to your total Gun count (found in the Event Hub).  This is not a tangible item for Springfield, it’s just 200 Guns added to your total on hand.

Next Tangible Prize for Springfield…

Ordnance Express- Awarded at 3,890.  This will be the next prize we cover in a rundown post.

So that my friends is the full breakdown of the first (and second) Act 2 prize!
