** The Ranger, being based on the Colt Walker also qualifies, what with its slow rate of fire and higher damage compared to the other revolvers.

* HandCannon: As in the first game, the lever-action Volcano Pistol is the most powerful pistol in the game, dealing heavy damage while still having a good rate of fire and ammo capacity.

Added DiffLines:

* DramaticIrony: Much of ''Bound in Blood'''s plot becomes DarkerAndEdgier once you realize that the protagonists will become a DomesticAbuser pathetic shell of a man as well as a KnightTemplar lunatic priest. The beautiful bandit who was always used by men? She's left with the aforementioned DomesticAbuser until she's murdered.

* SequelDifficultyDrop: ''Bound in Blood'' has RegeneratingHealth, and also does away with the stealth segments and platform jumping which were the primary source of FakeDifficulty in the original game. This is partly balanced out by making BulletTime less common (you have to earn it by killing enemies, instead of it regenerating automatically every few seconds), and also by slightly {{Nerf}}ing Ray.

* CrucifiedHeroShot: This is how Ray imagines William in the [[SoWhatDoWeDoNow epilogue]] (while directly comparing him to {{Jesus}}, no less), though it was somewhat different in reality.

* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: William tries to prevent Ray from killing an unarmed Devlin with this and the story of Jesus forgiving one of the murderers crucified alongside him. Ray's reaction? "The Lord forgave him... a cold-blooded murderer? Well, that's good to know." Then he shoots him dead.

* RealIsBrown: In contrast to the colorful palette of the first and fourth games, ''Bound in Blood'' and ''The Cartel'' both have the "coffee filter" look of many games from the time period in which it was made.

* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: Inverted and PlayedForLaughs: In some snippets of random CasualDangerDialog, Thomas and Ray will exchange following snarks in the middle of a firefight:
-->"Brother, you can't hit shit!"\\
"It ain't ''shit'' I was aiming at!"

''Bound in Blood'' keeps the fast pace of the original, but shifts the narrative focus towards the intense FamilyDrama of the [=McCalls=]. Gameplay-wise, the game adds RegeneratingHealth and a [[TakeCover cover mechanic]], and also does away with the stealth segments from the first game. It also revamps the old concept of playing through the same level twice: you can choose to play most levels either as [[GlassCannon Thomas]] or [[MightyGlacier Ray]], as they fight together at the same time (the other is [[NonPlayerCompanion controlled by the AI]]). Sadly and perplexingly, there's no cooperative mode. Additionally, ''[=BiB=]'' introduces more realistic [[ShowdownAtHighNoon quick-draw duels]].

%% * MightyGlacier: Ray is still this, despite getting {{Nerf}}ed somewhat.

%% * MightyGlacier: Ray has better defenses than Thomas (thanks to the breastplate he is still this, despite getting {{Nerf}}ed somewhat.wearing) and can deal a shitton of damage with his GunsAkimbo, however, he is not as quick and maneuverable as his brother.

** The Trapper class in multiplayer is this. He's the slowest class (together with the Officer), but he has the highest health. He carries a double-barreled shotgun and also a Colt Walker (called Ranger in-game) for accuracy shots.
