* DegradedBoss: The Outlaws use a similar fighting style to the Preacher's first battle. One of them even replaces him as the boss between the second and third areas after you beat him there; this "generic" Outlaw doesn't give up any Memories or item unlocks, but he does drop 10 Sin.
* DoubleUnlock: Getting an item memory from an Outlaw doesn't make it immediately accessible. You must instead take it to the Witch and then purchase it with Sin. Die before you meet with the Witch again? Time to find another Outlaw.

The second shot was necessary due to how the gun malfunctioned at first, blasting off Mason's face but not with enough force to fully kill him.
