## [](#the-butchers-circus-dlc)The Butcher’s Circus DLC

The Hamlet may have fallen on hard times, but the creak of wagons and blare of abused trumpets signals a change in fortune for the bold and meek alike: the Circus is in town!

A weathered and bloodstained pavilion tent beckons, the Twins flank the flap, and a rheumy-eyed Barker announces:

“The Butcher demands a show!”

“Buy the ticket, take the ride.”

― Hunter S. Thompson

### [](#features)Features:

- New Hamlet Location: The Butcher’s Circus
