Gunheart Update Overhauls Weapon Progression, Challenges & More

Feb 23, 2018 Dennis Patrick

Gunheart's winter update releases to the public.

Gunheart, from development team Drifter Entertainment, Inc. has recently received the winter update. For those of you who may be unaware, Gunheart is a co-op shooter built around virtual reality. The game plays a bit similar to the cinematic film Starship Troopers as players are tasked with blasting away alien bugs on a foreign planet.

The game offers singleplayer or multiplayer cooperative gameplay where players will gun their way through a variety of insects in hopes of loading their bank accounts with righteous dollar bills. With cash in hand, players can then make modification and upgrade purchases to their weapons arsenal.

Recently, Drifter Entertainment, Inc. has released an update to the game which adds new content for players to go through. This includes bonus challenges, some tweaking to a survival mode, a new default mod for each weapon, along with a new overall weapon progression system.

For a complete breakdown creative director, Brian Murphy explains the new update in detail within the video posted above.

Mostly it seems that this latest update really fleshes the game together nicely. Players not only receive some fine-tuning to the various weapons but there are some new additions such as bonus challenges to help players earn a bit more loot by completing objectives throughout the available missions.

Thanks to a press release that was sent to us earlier today, we have a quick breakdown of what you’ll learn from the video above. As for the future of Gunheart, Brian Murphy did state that there will be more optimizations and bug fixes, but we can still expect some surprises down the road.

Currently, Gunheart is available for $29.99 on the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
