Ghost Ship Publishing and developer Game Swing have announced another major update for Guntouchables, adding yet more content to an already big game.
Out now, the update adds a new strain of enemy variants called “Mutant: Alpha”, which adds “several scary enemies”, says the team. Game Swing says: “Enemies aren’t the only thing evolving, as new character perks have also been added to the game, joined by a job board with daily tasks, and the addition of new vending machines and pop-up shops during missions to help preppers stay ready for every stage of the action.”
Here’s what the press release has to say is included with this update:
- A New Alpha Variant Spreads Like, Well, the Plague: Things have gone wrong, and a new Alpha mutation strain is ripping throughout the Wasteland, bringing with it plenty of new reasons to load up on ammo. Not only have five new Alpha enemy mutations made themselves very apparent to preppers on Heated mission runs, but four new enemies types have also emerged. Amongst these are much deadlier versions of the once tame insects like the Centipede and Grub, as well as a Hermit that lobs bile from afar. Evolution comes with some benefits though, as a rare creature called Hoardling has been seen roaming around, and it’s rumoured to be worth its weight in gold when a prepper takes one down.
- Dress to Suppress with 14 New Weapon Skins: While gearing up to take down the bigger, badder Alpha variant enemies, preppers can look forward to nine new perks to power up their run. Amongst these are the addition of “Lucky Vendor” which yields the chance for double the consumables from a vending machine, “Good Cardio” which allows preppers to dash without losing stamina, and “Exploding Decoy” which sounds exactly like what it is: a decoy that explodes when it’s finished. To spice up the carnage and bring some personal flair to firepower, 14 new skins are now available, offering stylish new ways for preppers to customise and wield each of the seven starter weapons.
- Employment in the End Times: While job hunting isn’t always a top priority when bloodthirsty mutants are running rampant, those looking to stock up on Baxter’s Bunker Beans or boost their XP can find side gigs on the newly placed Job Board. The board is updated daily with new tasks, so preppers can get to work on completing expeditions and taking out enemies to redeem an array of rewards. Survivors will also be able to get supplies in a pinch, as shops will now appear during missions rather than in between, and consumables can be found across new Vending Machines, with six available, alongside a recycling machine to ensure that preppers aren’t making the planet any worse than it already is.
We reviewed Guntouchables and said: “…there’s something hugely cathartic about simple blasting and moving, throwing grenades and spraying fire, ice, and bullets with violent abandon. Guntouchables’ fast pace and silly humour is more than enough to keep you hooked, but until the devs patch a few things it really does require friends to get the most out of it.”
Guntouchables is out now for PC via Steam.
