Hard West 2 is a strategy game and it becomes clear how strategic you need to be in the first chapter. You’ll need to pay attention to your gang’s team, who to take to each fight, your allegiance, and what poker cards each gang member has in hand. Poker cards play an important role in the game, so it makes sense that you try to collect as many as possible. Here are all of them that you can collect in the first chapter of the game.
All the poker cards from Chapter 1 in Hard West 2
It might seem a bit unlucky, but there are 13 poker cards that you can find in the first chapter of Hard West 2. Each of these cards will grant the character holding them bonus stat boosts and traits, making them one of the most useful items in the game. Keep your eyes peeled for them as you progress through the chapter.
