- New update with new weapon skins! - 25 August 2018
Hey all, we've released an update today to address a few issues reported by the community, most notably addressing issues with attempting to join friends from local sessions or from the initial main menu. We've also put in some fixes for those occasional invisible Hoppers (and corrected a few other issues we found along the way) so that they're once again playing fairly. Lastly we've also corrected an issue that would cause inordinately long load times if you happened to have a very large number of friends in your friend's list. Along with these fixes we've added 2 new weapon skins for every weapon in the game. The first is an alternate skin that's unlocked once you hit level 3 with the weapon, and the second is a pure gold skin unlocked on max level. You can swap at any time in the mod UI (kinda hidden in the uppper right portion of the menu) and you can freely mix between the default,…

They grow up so fast, and Gunheart has certainly been growing! These are just a few of the features we’ve added to the game since launch: Local Play Mode: Do you believe that true glory is reserved only for those that enter the battlefield alone? Don't want those other pesky bounty hunters bothering you with their "friendship" and "cooperation." Then we've got a mode for you! Horde Mode: Battle 15 increasingly difficult waves of enemies across 3 open battlefields! Enemies get new modifiers to make them even tougher, but tons of loot and money await those who can run the gauntlet! More Gun Mods!: You said, "We love gun mods!" We said, "Okay, here's some more!" Rig Mods!: You said, "We love gun mods!" We said,…
- New hotfix released to improve performance - 30 July 2018
Hey all, we've released a patch today with optimizations to greatly improve CPU performance across both local and online play. These optimizations should help players with all ranges of CPU - both in improving overall average framerate and also removing many of the notable hitches throughout normal play. There are also a few critical bug fixes and minor improvements included, check out the list below: Huge(!!) amount of optimizations to improve CPU performance for both local and online play Improve detection of click to turn on Vive controllers to avoid conflicts with jump activation Fix issues related to AI recovering from ragdoll sometimes entering an invulnerable state Visions mod will now also highlight incoming Broodmasters Insights mod now also shows damage applied to Broodmasters and the Buzzbags Improved visibility of the round-up kiosk for night missions Auto-aim check distance…

- New weekly missions + upcoming hotfix preview - 6 July 2018
Four weekly missions have been uploaded for everyone to tackle: Floating Mine Sweeping, Pirate Combat, Lair of the Floaters (ELITE), and finally Big Weapons, Small Problems. Each mission has custom modifiers and objectives to make the experience more challenging than most campaign missions, so jump on in and let us know what you think. We're also working on the next patch for Gunheart and wanted to preview some of the changes: Local Play Option While we already support the option to play privately to avoid strangers jumping into your missions, we've heard from the community that many players would like an option to not play on our dedicated servers at all. To that end we've been working on a local play option that will allow you to play through all missions in the game, unlock all the mods and whatnot, but still using the same profile that you'd use in online play. This mode is entirely…

- VR FPS Gunheart launches, headset no longer mandatory - 7 June 2018
Being a whole new frontier in games, I’ve been eager to pick up a VR headset, but still can’t quite justify the price. Of the games I put on my day-1 wishlist for when I got myself some space-goggles, Gunheart ranks pretty high. It’s a very slick-looking online co-op FPS with a sci-fi mercenary RPG-lite structure. It’s been in early access for a year, but launched in full this week, and while the game is still built for VR, it’s no longer mandatory, so mouse & keyboard-using folks are free to join in. (more…)
