Far Far West Gold Hoarder Build — 3,000+ Gold Per Run With the Canyon Secret
Maximize gold farming in Far Far West with the Gold Hoarder build. Gold Teeth stacking, the 4-medallion Canyon secret, and the infinite wave extraction farm for 2,000-3,000+ gold per solo run on Very Hard.
What's up guys and welcome back to Far Far West. Today we're doing the Gold Hoarder build — a way to maximize the gold you get per run. I've been hitting about 2,000–3,000 gold per match solo on Very Hard with this setup, and it's honestly super easy once you know where to go.
The Build — Weapons
Primary and secondary don't really matter that much — it's about what Jokers you put on them. I run Shotgun + Bow, but you can use whatever you like.
Shotgun Jokers
| Slot | Joker | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1–9 | Gold Teeth (×9) | ~90% chance of gold drop on kill |
| 10 | Over Blast | Extra damage |
You want at least 7 Gold Teeth minimum (70% chance). I run 9 because that's basically every single enemy dropping gold. If you have all 10 joker slots, go 10 Gold Teeth for guaranteed drops.
Bow Jokers
Same idea:
- 9–10 Gold Teeth
- Ultra Draw in the remaining slot
- If you have 10 Gold Teeth, add Ammo Supply (you can equip 2 at once)
The key is: every weapon you use should have as many Gold Teeth as possible. Both weapons producing gold means you're stacking income constantly.
Character Jokers
The only required joker for this build is:
| Joker | Effect |
|---|---|
| Gold Prospector | +20% gold at end of mission — mandatory |
The rest is preference. Here's what I run:
| Joker | Why |
|---|---|
| Soul Reaper | +20% souls at end of mission |
| Utility Care Package | Extra supplies |
| Soul Siphon | HP on kills |
| Speedy Gonzales | Movement speed |
| Second Wind | Safety net |
But really — Gold Prospector is the only thing you need. Everything else is comfort.
Best Map and Difficulty
| Setting | My Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty | Very Hard | +35% gold bonus (Nightmare gives +50% but harder solo) |
| Map | Canyon | Gold deposits + secret quest that gives a ton of gold |
Jungle also works (decent gold deposits), but Canyon has the 4-medallion secret that gives you a free Joker pick AND a golden pickaxe that destroys gold veins instantly.
The Canyon Secret — 4 Medallions
This is what makes Canyon the best gold farming map. There are 4 medallions hidden around the map, each with a simple mini-game to collect them. You can do them in any order depending on your spawn.
Medallion 1 — West Side (Target Practice)
On the west side of the map. Just a target practice mini-game — super easy, takes about 30 seconds.
Medallion 2 — North Side (Dynamite Wall)
Northern part of the map. Pick up dynamite, throw it at the wall, repeat until you break through to the medallion.
Medallion 3 — East Side (Digging)
East side. Grab a shovel and dig at the marked spots. "Sweaty's Medallion" — easy find.
Medallion 4 — Near the Rail (Sheriff's Medallion)
Right off the rail, very close to Medallion 3. There's a little note you can read here too.
The Reward
Insert all 4 medallions at the central location:
- Free pick Joker (choose any card)
- Yellow Pickaxe — instantly destroys gold deposits for maximum gold
I do this every single time I load Canyon, even when I'm not running the Gold Hoarder build. Free Joker + gold — why wouldn't you?
The Extraction Farm Trick
Here's the secret sauce for hitting 3,000+:
After you beat the boss and call the train, don't immediately extract. The game spawns an infinite wave after you beat the boss. You can just sit there and farm as much gold as you want.
Set up your cactus spells (Pistolero, mines) in a choke point, lock down an area, and let the gold pile up. With Soul Siphon and Hit Me for sustain, you can stay indefinitely.
I usually farm until I hit 3,000 gold, then extract. Just sitting there chilling, sipping coffee, having a great time.
Run Breakdown
| Phase | Gold Earned |
|---|---|
| Starting storm | ~50 |
| Canyon secret (4 medallions) | ~200–300 |
| Gold deposits (yellow pickaxe) | ~300–500 |
| Side objectives | ~200–400 |
| Boss kill | ~100–200 |
| Extraction farm (infinite wave) | As much as you want |
| Gold Prospector bonus (+20%) | Applied at end |
| Very Hard bonus (+35%) | Applied at end |
| Total per run | 2,000–3,000+ |
Quick Reference
| Component | Pick |
|---|---|
| Primary | Shotgun (9–10 Gold Teeth + Over Blast) |
| Secondary | Bow (9–10 Gold Teeth + Ultra Draw) |
| Character Joker | Gold Prospector (required) |
| Optional | Soul Reaper, Soul Siphon, Second Wind |
| Difficulty | Very Hard (+35%) or Nightmare (+50%) |
| Map | Canyon (secret + gold deposits) |
| Strategy | Do 4-medallion secret → clear map → boss → farm infinite wave at extraction |
Every time I load up Canyon, I do the 4-medallion secret. Even without this build, it's free gold and a free Joker. For the full run with live map navigation, check the original video.
