Journey to the Shatter with up to three fellow Gunmancers in your crew, choosing from four new preset difficulty levels. Or create your own custom difficulty mode, tweaking variables to make the game harder or easier. Wizard with a Gun has never been more accessible—or more challenging. Back at the Tower, unlock the Library—a new building—to unearth fascinating lore about the Shatter, Chaos, and the many other mysteries of Wizard With a Gun’s fractured world. Rebuild the Voidskimmer sky ship with materials gathered by hunting down rare bounty enemies. Then open the doorway to the Oculus and experience the thrilling conclusion to the main story of Wizard with a Gun. Brace yourself for a fresh, challenging experience where greater firepower brings greater rewards. So grab your posse, mount up, and get ready to battle Wizard With a Gun’s most dangerous challenges to date! Bounty of Guns New enemies invade the Shatter! Hunt down and dispatch these scoundrels with an expanded arsenal in Bounty of Guns, a free content expansion for Wizard with a Gun. As you scour through the increasingly dangerous Shatter, pick up lucrative Bounties to earn special rewards. But beware, they come with increasingly difficult challenges. Your new foes move faster, hit harder, and possess special attacks. Defeat them to fulfill the Bounties, then claim your reward from the Bounty Mechana and unlock extraordinary new weapons. An expanded arsenal of weapons awaits you in Bounty of Guns, with more than 50 new guns, including new weapon types such as a minigun, mortar, and a two-handed SMG, each with unique properties, powders, and uses. Store your newly acquired arms and show them off on Gun Mounts, a new piece of furniture for your Tower. The Bounty of Guns update also introduces four new mini-bosses, each unique to their own biome, while Ambush Events randomly trigger as you explore the Overworld. Good luck, gunslingers. You'll need it. About the Game Wizard with a Gun is an online cooperative sandbox survival game set in a magical wilderness wrought with dangerous creatures and arcane mysteries.
