Some stands in Bridger: Western are harder to obtain than others, and Tusk is one of the most unique ones in the game. This stand has strong damage and several powerful abilities, but it also comes with some major drawbacks that players need to understand before trying to get it. If you plan to unlock it, you should know the requirements, the chances, and how each Tusk Act works. This guide explains how to obtain Tusk and what you can expect when using Tusk Act 1, Act 2, and Act 3 in Bridger: Western.
How to Get Tusk in Bridger: Western
To obtain Tusk, you must use a Corpse Left Arm. This is the only item that can give you the stand.
Here is how the process works:
- Farm corpse parts in the world.
- Obtain the Left Arm corpse part specifically.
- Use the Left Arm.
- You will have a 10% chance to obtain Tusk.
It is important to note that only the Left Arm works. Other corpse parts such as:
- Rib Cage
- Legs
- Right Arm
will not give you Tusk.
Because of the low drop chance, many players farm corpse parts repeatedly until they finally get the Left Arm needed.
Important Tusk Passive Effects
Before trying to get Tusk, you should know that this stand changes your gameplay completely.
1. You Cannot Walk or Run
When you obtain Tusk, your character becomes crippled. This means:
- You cannot walk
- You cannot run
- You can only crawl or roll
Because of this limitation, movement becomes very slow and dangerous during combat.
2. You Cannot Use Weapons
Another major downside is that all weapons become unusable. After obtaining Tusk:
- Guns cannot be used
- Sabers cannot be used
- All weapon items are removed
Your stand abilities become your only way to fight enemies.
3. Horses Become Very Important
Since you cannot walk normally, a good horse is extremely useful. Many players recommend using a strong or fast horse so you can move across the map quickly.
Tusk Act System
Tusk has three available forms in the game:
- Tusk Act 1
- Tusk Act 2
- Tusk Act 3
You can switch between them by pressing V.
Each act has different abilities and playstyles.
Tusk Act 1 Abilities
Tusk Act 1 focuses on fast bullet attacks and basic movement.
Main abilities include:
- Nail Glide – Allows you to glide forward for short movement.
- Small Jump Movement – A quick mobility move available only in Act 1.
- Nail Bullets – Rapid-fire nail shots.
When using the bullet attack:
- Body shot damage: around 10
- Headshot damage: around 19
The bullets can be fired quickly, almost like a minigun, making Act 1 good for constant pressure. You can also increase your accuracy while firing to land more hits.
Tusk Act 2 Abilities
Tusk Act 2 changes the gameplay slightly and introduces stronger attacks.
Abilities include:
- Nail Glide (movement ability)
- Ricochet Shot
- Improved Nail Bullets
The Ricochet Shot is one of the strongest abilities. It deals about 62 damage and can remove enemy limbs. Another special feature is the homing bullet effect. If a bullet hits the ground or a wall near an enemy, it can still follow and hit the target.
Players can also place bullet traps. If someone walks near the trap, the bullet will automatically attack them.Because of these mechanics , many players consider Act 2 the strongest version for combat.
Tusk Act 3 Abilities
Tusk Act 3 focuses mainly on stronger bullet attacks.
Features include:
- Nail Glide movement
- High-damage bullets
- Double-hit projectile effect
When hitting enemies, the bullet can strike them twice, increasing the total damage. Although it deals strong damage, Act 3 removes some of the abilities found in Act 1 and Act 2, which is why some players find it less flexible.
Tusk is one of the most interesting stands in Bridger: Western. Its abilities deal high damage and offer unique mechanics like homing bullets and strong ranged attacks. However, the stand also has major disadvantages such as losing the ability to walk and being unable to use weapons.
Because of these drawbacks, Tusk works best when players rely on horses and stand abilities for mobility and combat. If you manage to obtain the Left Arm and get lucky with the 10% chance, Tusk can become a powerful but challenging stand to master.
