Hey all,
Gunheart is 30% off as part of the Steam Winter Sale. Be sure to point all the folks who are unwrapping new headsets this holiday season right here!
Gunheart makes a great stocking stuffer! ... I don't know. Maybe you could print out the code or something and put it in there. Anyway, now is definitely the time to scoop up Gunheart! *It's fun for the whole family over the holidays!
*Gunheart may or may not be fun for the whole family. It depends on how awesome your family is.

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, alternate, and golden skins per weapon. Enjoy!
Lastly we've pushed 4 new weekly missions for everybody to tackle. Keep the feedback coming, thanks!

Can you believe Gunheart has already been out for 2 months? 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:
So to celebrate, Gunheart is 25% off this week!

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:
Let us know if you encounter any issues with the update either in the forums or on the official discord. Happy hunting everybody!

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:
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 solo, so no option for local co-op (yet!), and is a great way to play the game without any worries of latency whatsoever. You'll still need to be online to update your profile and receive mission data from our master server, but the entire game instance will be running locally. And at any point you can jump back online with your servers to show off the latest, invite a friend for some co-op, or maybe even dive into some PVP action.
For players who reach the level 25 cap there isn't much more to dump their hard earned cash into - but with the new prestige system they'll be able to boost their Rig power even further while also unlocking special cosmetics to show off their prowess even more. Look in the PalCo upgrades section to see the new Prestige option which is only available once you've reached the level cap.
Rig mods have unlocked a ton of fun gameplay with Gunheart and we're going to add some more goodies. We're also plugging in some more cosmetic options, including a skin swap option for those money hats out there looking to spend some PalCo bucks. Rumor also has it that there's a couple more weapon mods to be discovered soon...
The hotfix should be available for testing sometime late next week, and we're hoping to release it to the live servers shortly after. Thank you for all the support, and please keep sending us your feedback either in the forums or on discord.

Our first update since the 1.0 launch is now live! We've focused on a mix of new features/content along with tons of improvements and bug fixes based on community feedback. Here are some of the top things to look for in this month's update and you can find more details by joining us on discord
Horde mode: Battle through three different rooms, each with five increasingly difficult waves of Anthromites. Enjoy dying at the hands of enemies imbued with extra damage and other fun mutators (that stack!). If you manage to get through the gauntlet there will of course be some sweet loot waiting on the other side. Like everything in Gunheart, bring some friends along for extra fun (and because you’ll want someone to revive you).
Rig paint jobs: In addition to customizing hats and faces, you can now customize your rig color. We went full on automaker with this once and came up with names for color combinations that make almost no sense. My favorite colors right now are Nacho and Hawk. Hey, while you’re over there getting a new coat of paint, you might as well throw on a few …
Rig mods: That's right. Mods aren’t just for guns anymore! We took our ever-popular gun mod system and made a new version specifically for your rig. Now you can upgrade your robot body with increased air control, projectile slowing, AOE damage on shield break, and some other crazy stuff that gets even crazier with each new tier you unlock.
New movement system: We’ve completely revamped the way strafing works in Gunheart. There are now a lot more areas that can be walked on, a lot less areas where you can get stuck, and a lot more control while you’re in the air (try one of the rig mods for even more control).
PVP updates: New PVP-specific health system. Armor and shield pickups are now scattered around the PVP maps. Grab them with full health for an overshield! We’ve made a balance pass on the weapons. Most notable change was a nerf to the pistols who were a bit too effective at killing folks across the map. The carbines got a little love and a buff to go with the love. Full-auto mods will now negatively impact damage a little more than they did before.
New enemy behaviors: Enemies will now spawn a little closer to you so they’ll be more likely to hunt you down instead of the other way around. Buzzkills will now eventually go crazy and dive bomb you! Ridgeback projectiles now leave behind noxious fumes so you’ll want to stay clear of those. Zombugs are tougher, but removing their limbs will help take them down.
Lone Wolf mode: “Elite mode is too easy!” Okay, so pretty much no one has actually said that, but we’re doing this anyway. Take elite mode, make the enemies tougher, don’t let friends join, and you’ve got lone wolf mode. Enjoy, sadists. Oh, you’ll need to 3 star a mission before you see this pop up as an option.
We appreciate all the feedback and suggestions for the game - please keep it coming! There's more we have planned for Gunheart in the coming months and it's important to us that we're also including your ideas into how the game evolves. Thanks!

Hey y’all,
We are excited to bring our first post-launch content update to all Gunheart players at the end of this month!
There will be a ton of new content in this one. Take a look below to see some of it. Plus, if you hop into the alphastaging build of the game today, you’ll be able to check out a lot of these features before the full update is released next week!
Note: alphastaging is its own separate build of the game, so your profile in alphastaging is separate from the one in public. This means all the guns and loot you earn in one will not go to the other. Alphastaging is great for hoping in to test out new features, but you’ll want to do most of your Gunhearting in public.
What were we talking about?
Four new weekly missions now available for everyone! We've added Liquid Space Fine , Harvest , Extreme Marksmanship , and A Little Irritating to the Job Goblin to mix up your bounty hunting! Weekly missions combine various mutators and modifications to offer up challenges outside

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.
We've pushed a small hotfix this morning, below are the changes included in this build. Load time improvements (currently seeing reductions in load times by 50%+) Fix for intermittent hitches in mission related to navigation data rebuilding Fix for hoppers occasionally leaping to

Our biggest update yet is now live for everyone and marks the official end of the Early Access period. Here's a quick summary for some of the improvements you'll find with this version of the game:
We'll be paying close attention to feedback to see what issues need to be addressed in the next hotfix. Beyond that we have many new features and ideas we'd love to bring to Gunheart in future updates. Additionally we'll be cranking on the PSVR release for this summer, which of course will bring more polish and performance optimizations for all platforms.
It's been a labor of love to get the game this far and we hope people enjoy all the blood, sweat, and tears we've put into the game so far. We're excited for more people jump into the world Gunheart for the first time and we look forward to continuing to evolve this game over the coming months (and years?).
Thank you for your support!

Hey Drifter fans,
I’m Hunter, and I’ve recently had the privilege of joining the team here at Drifter as lead producer. I’ll be helping out with our blog posts and updates until we find someone who is actually qualified. Be sure to stay tuned here for much more frequent updates about all of our projects. Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook are also great ways to keep in touch. Let’s jump right in and give you a sneak peek at some of the content we have planned for our Gunheart April update!
Games are fun, but they’re even more fun when you can prove to your friend that you’re better at it than them. Introducing a way to do that in Gunheart! The Job Goblin is getting a makeover, and as part of that, we’re adding a new three star system. Stars are earned three different ways:
Most of you out there should be able to get that first star pretty quickly, but you’ll find Elite mode and the speedrun to be formidable (based on the sobbing we’ve heard coming from the QA department). We’re doing a few other things to make the game more punishing fun for all of you.
You’ll find money pumps will be more difficult after the next release, so you better get in there now and take advantage. Soon you’ll have to earn that cash!
Oh and hoppers can fly now. Those enemies that have been running around with wings … they’ll use them now to shoot you better. We’ll probably keep calling them hoppers.
Considering all the dying you’ll be doing, we updated the death sequence. How can you call your game Gunheart if there isn’t a big, awesome beating heart prominently featured on your death screen? Well you can’t, so we have that now.
Last but not least, there is a host of changes coming to PVP this month. We’re updating maps, tuning weapons, adjusting weapon locations, and a bunch of other stuff to make shooting friends and strangers alike more satisfying.
This is only the tip of the iceberg for our April update. We’ll do our usual thing and release a video when the update goes live and tell you about all the other cool stuff.
