That's the beginning of an interesting theory, Nate. It could be that the hickens are rudimentary industrialists, and the outlaws are simply competing for the resources. Maybe they aren't even really Outlaws at all, but because the hickens have towns, perhaps the "civilized" majority, and enough money to hire enforcement of some kind, they've decided to get rid of the new guys. (and or old guys, meaning salamanders and blobs) It could be a racial thing, the hickens feel that only hickens can be judicous resource managers and all other species need to be subjugated.

Out of character, but possible. It would reinforce the idea that exploitation is perpetuated by ignorance. If the hickens believe in a unilateral definition of "civilization" then its quite possible a naive adherence to outdated beliefs would justify the eradication or removal of competitors. Sort of a "manifest destiny" thing.

That had nothing to do with the xbox nation exclusive. But they did include a little bar of all the live ammo things and their uses. To stay a little more on topic....
