The ranks are: Posse, Deputy, Sheriff, Deputy Marshal and U.S. There are different ranks that the player can attain, depending on how well the player performs. If a player is shot while holding a more powerful weapon, it is lost and the player reverts to the original revolver. The Gatling guns and cannons can each be used only once but the other four weapons can be reloaded the same way as the revolver. 50 caliber Sharps rifles, higher-capacity rifles, double rigs, shotguns, Gatling guns, and cannons. Additional weaponry can be found throughout the game that will give the player better firepower. To reload, the player must aim the light gun away from the screen and pull the trigger. The player begins with a revolver that can hold six rounds. Just like the original game, a dip switch setting in the arcade version allows operators to let players progress through the stages in a linear fashion ("arcade mode") or select individual stages ("street mode"), including the between level target practice stages. Each stage features a boss that must be killed in order to complete the stage (though a unique case happened in the third stage where the boss battle is in the form of a dueling mini-game). During each stage, the player must shoot the armed outlaws without harming any innocent townsfolk or fellow lawmen. Lethal Enforcers 2 has five stages: "The Bank Robbery", "The Stage-Holdup", "Saloon Showdown", "The Train Robbery", and "The Hide-Out". The game overs when all life units are gone, but continued play is available. Every time the player, an innocent civilian or lawman is shot, one life unit will be lost. Life units are also awarded based on how many points the player scores while playing the game. In the arcade version, more can be purchased by inserting additional coins. At the beginning of the game, three to five life units are available. In this game, the goal is to shoot outlaws in order to eradicate crime from a stereotypical town in the American West of 1873. Years later, Konami released Lethal Enforcers 3. A Super NES version of the game was also announced that same year, but was unreleased. The game was bundled along with the first Lethal Enforcers game as part of the PlayStation compilation Lethal Enforcers I & II. Ports of the game were released for the Genesis and Sega CD.
In contrast with the first game's modern law enforcement theme, Lethal Enforcers II takes place in the American Old West. When the dust settles and the tumbleweeds roll by, only the most skilled Gun Fighters will be left standing.Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters, known in Japan as Lethal Enforcers 2: The Western, is a 1994 light gun shooter arcade game and prequel to the original Lethal Enforcers.
