Welcome back to episode three of our character playthrough series for Fatal Frontier 1869! In this video, we are diving deep into Shookum Joe Mason—who has quickly become my absolute favorite character to play. Built as a pure melee beast, Joe starts with the rare blue Bear Claw weapon and incredibly strong defensive traits. We break down the best build strategies, why choosing the dodge bonus is a game-changer, and showcase an absolutely epic 12-day run where we find rare gear, mine massive gold veins, fight a terrifying spider boss, and hunt down the legendary Alpha Polar Bear before escaping on the steamer!
