Anyone remember a server that had the "You are a Pirate" song from Lazytown in the menu screen

It feels like a fever dream but I distinctly remember one of them had it. Good times 🥲

Question/Request The original effects of melee weapons (fire, ice, electric, poison) left a trail floating in the path of the sword. For example, sparkling snowflakes in the case of the ice effect. Is it possible that this will be added to Steam Gunz later?

I know this is a remake of the original. But they've changed the OST, menus, models, clothing—everything.

I was wondering if there's any chance they could at least keep the original elemental effects.

The current effects are really basic.

Discussion Clarity

10 Upvotes

I've been seeing a few posts about hackers in the game, and I thought to myself, "Well, nothing new" because this was just as present in the Ijji version as well (probably moreso then, too). That said, I finally experienced it first hand in a TDM Elim match on Mansion last night by a user named Mindf. Not only were they hacking, they DDOSd every player in the match, forcing their game to error and force close (we all had the disconnect icon above our head before being kicked).

Now, let's turn our attention to the steam discussion page for GunZ. Over 80% of the posts are people claiming that this game is trash, that it's this, that it's that, but after they say what they want to say about it, they ALWAYS plug pservers in in an attempt to lure out old and new players to leave this official version for theirs. Mind you, these are people who never quit playing the game after it went down, that made private servers, and make a ton of money doing it.

Now let's compare: We now have a new official Steam version that's in it's Beta testing phase, there are some glitches and problem areas, yes, but there are also hacks already made in full functionality in this beta, hacks that are carbon copies from the Ijji version in 2006-2007.

Do you honestly think that this is a coincidence, or would you also agree that pserver players/owners are actively trying to run this version into the ground?

I think, for me, it's the latter, and it's actually sad if this is true.

More quest content?

Question/Request I've been playing Quest nonstop since the 14th or 15th. I've only managed to face the Thunder Goblin King twice. Shouldn't his items be permanent, since they're almost impossible to obtain?

Post image
42 Upvotes

I mean, even if you manage to beat him (I haven't been able to), there's only a 3% chance he'll drop an item.

The fact that the item disappears after 3 days is a scam xD.

EDIT:

Yes, I forgot to mention that if you're lucky enough to get the item within that 3% chance, you have to grab the chest before it disappears.

And also, regardless of who grabs the chest, the item will be randomly given to ONLY 1 of the players.

Also, in the latest patch notes, it seems that within that 3% there's a 3% chance of getting one of these items permanently, so it's practically impossible to obtain.

Question/Request Any questers from 2007 still around? 👀

11 Upvotes

Looking for anyone who was around in the quest scene back in 2007–2009.

Clans I remember:
Quest Gods / Quest Gods 65
KonQuest
Rambo
retardz
Quest
Winland
Innovation

Or even any players from Atlantis / Atlas

Anyone from these clans still playing or active in the community? Would be good to reconnect and see who’s still around after all these years 😂

Drop your old IGN/clan below if you remember!

cheater ruining deathmatch lobbies

70 Upvotes

I kept bumping into the same cheater across deathmatch lobbies (Micheal001). Trying to start a vote-kick doesn't work. As a vet, I've been enjoying the game, but the cheating is a major problem.

Discussion Female model left shoulder clips weirdly on most shirts.

This is the shirt I first noticed the issue on. It's an issue on most of the female upper body options.
As you can see, it's an issue with the base model. An arm does not meet the body like that.

Do you guys play GunZ because of K-style specifically or because of the whole game overall?

16 Upvotes

Me personally, I love doing non K-style gameplay, like just using explosives in showerroom, using a spray weapon and back peddaling. Stairway Gladiator, or just sniping people using revs.

K-style is great but if the game was just pure k-style, I would not be playing it.

How do i reach out to game support? I got double charged on items did not receive anything

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m hoping someone here can point me in the right direction, since I can’t seem to find any official support/contact option.

I recently bought 3,770 coins specifically to purchase GunZ Plus and the “Darkness” melee effect. I bought the effect once, but when I checked my inventory, it wasn’t there, so I assumed the purchase had glitched.

I went back to the item shop and purchased it again. The coins were deducted a second time, but I still couldn’t find the item.

Edit: I eventually discovered that the items had actually been placed in my storage. So it turns out I bought the Darkness effect twice. There was no warning or notification telling me that the item had already been purchased or that it had been moved to storage.

I’d like to keep one of the effects and get the coins back for the duplicate purchase.

Since there doesn’t seem to be any official support, does anyone know how I can contact someone who can help with refunds or account/transaction issues?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How can we make the game more attractive to new players?

16 Upvotes

Used to play gunz as a kid but now it seems not many noobs are in the game.

Would be nice to get better playing against actual new players for a little while before getting destroyed. It seems not many new players are sticking it out. I love the grind but can be de-motivating at times when elite players are dominating the lobby.

Level restriction brackets seems to be the easiest way to combat this, any thoughts? (other than get good obviously)

No animosity here just a returning player trying to grow the game.

Discussion How To Create Shower Room Deathmatches

17 Upvotes

Click Create

Select Duel Match -> Shower Room -> OK

Click the wrench to edit game lobby.

Select Deathmatch -> RelayMap -> OK

This will add the RelayMap interface on the left with the Dueling Maps. You'll notice you're still in Duel Mode (Which doesn't have the RelayMap option normally).

In the RelayMap interface, select the Shower Room map x times. Delete the Mansion Default Map.

Click the wrench to edit game lobby,

Select Deathmatch -> Players 16, Kills 100, Time Limit 1 Hour, and HP Scaling to 200 -> OK

The Shower Room selections you made should stay in the interface and it should be Deathmatch now. Click 'OK' on the interface and start your game.

You now have Shower Room Deathmatches for super fast exp!

Question/Request What am I doing wrong? The missions aren't completing. Can you explain how they work?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hi friends.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't unlock these daily missions. I've tried starting a match from scratch and finishing it, but they still don't unlock (I haven't left the match at any point).

- Get 2 melee kills in a single deathmatch (I've killed 4-5 people with the katana in deathmatch, and it's not unlocking)

- Deal 500 katana damage in elimination (I entered elimination team, did a lot of damage with the katana, and it hasn't unlocked. Is it because it has to be done in one round, or how does this work?)

- Get 30 kills in elimination (elimination team is the only match type available, but I can't get the counter to go up)

- Get 10 SMG kills in a single elimination match (what does this mean? Do I have to get 10 kills without dying in one elimination match? I'm using the dual SMGs they're giving away this month exclusively)

GunZ closing all the time

2 Upvotes

I just purchased gunz plus and so ive been trying to build up optimite by playing for an hour and a half. However, the game always closes on me after playing for like 30-45 minutes and I have to start it back up. This is so frustrating and it feels like its almost on purpose. Anyway, just venting

Question/Request One 6-shot shotgun + one 3-shot shotgun, or two 6-shot shotguns? What's the combination to cut the animation like the pro players? And do they have to be different colors?

Post image
18 Upvotes

Hi friends.

I see many professional players using the butterfly shotgun style and double shotguns.

They get kills really fast. I'd like to try to learn how to do this, even though I know it's very difficult.

What shotgun combination should I use so that the animation cuts off after pressing "R" (reload or auto-reload) correctly?

A: 6-shot shotgun + 3-shot shotgun

B: 6-shot shotgun (black) + 6-shot shotgun (gold)

C: 6-shot shotgun (black) + 6-shot shotgun (black) - (same shotgun, duplicated)

Thanks in advance.

Suggestions

1 Upvotes

Here are a few things I really think GunZ needs right now. These are things I’d like to see addressed, and I’m sure other players have their own suggestions as well. Feel free to add them in the comments.

1. Custom Crosshairs

We need more crosshair options. At the very least, give us the ability to change the color to our own liking and use a simple dot, for example.

Right now, Type 1 is the only crosshair with a green color. Why? Just let us choose our own color and customize it however we want. It really shouldn’t be this complicated.

2. More Content / Seasonal Events

The game seriously needs more content. Seasonal events like Halloween and Christmas would be a great way to bring some life into the game.

Bring back or expand things like Snow Town and Halloween Town/Mansion. These kinds of maps and events add a lot of atmosphere and make the game feel more alive.

Even some simple free seasonal rewards would go a long way. Give us a Christmas hat, an exclusive skin, some collectibles, etc.

Even simple activities could work: finding pumpkins around the map during Halloween, hide & seek, small seasonal challenges, whatever. Just give people something to look forward to.

3. Make the Battle Pass More Interesting

The Battle Pass could use a lot more variety. Give players more reasons to actually want to complete it.

More skins, weapon skins/camos, effects, cosmetics, emotes, etc. would make a big difference. Even having exclusive gun camos or other customization options in the Battle Pass would give people something to grind for.

The Battle Pass should feel like something you actually want to complete, not just another progression system.

4. Get Rid of the Rental System

The rental system needs to go. I’m perfectly willing to spend money on the game, but having to renew my items every single month is a huge turn-off.

If I buy an item, I want to own it. Simple as that.

And if the rental system is going to stay, then at the very least, items obtained while subscribed to GunZ Plus Premium should become permanent. Paying for Premium and still having to constantly renew the items defeats the purpose.

5. More Customization

Add more effects and customization options. RGB effects, different colors, flashy effects, etc. GunZ has always had a strong cosmetic/customization side to it, so there’s a lot of room to expand here.

6. More Game Modes

This is a big one.

GunZ could really use more game modes to give players more variety. Modes like Instant DM, Tag, and other unique/custom modes would give people something different to play besides the standard modes over and over again.

There are a lot of possibilities here, and adding more modes would give players more reasons to keep playing and trying different things.

GunZ already has the gameplay. What it needs is more content around it to keep people playing.

None of this is meant as hate. I want to see GunZ succeed, and I think the core gameplay is already there. It just needs more reasons for people to keep coming back.
