Welcome to GUNTOUCHABLES, a fast-paced 1-4 player co-op roguelike shooter where mutants evolve and every second you’re alive counts. Whether you’re going solo or running with a full squad, this guide breaks down everything you need to know before heading into your first few runs — from team dynamics and upgrades, to guns and mutations. Let’s get you ready to thrive in the apocalypse, not just survive.
GUNTOUCHABLES Beginner Guide Wiki & Walkthorugh
1. Know Who You Are – Choosing Your Character
Before anything else, pick a character that matches your preferred playstyle. Each Guntouchable has its own class-specific perks and abilities, and trust me — your character choice does matter in later missions when the pressure builds.
Here’s a basic breakdown of character types:
- Tanky/Support-focused: Great for soaking hits and keeping the team alive.
- High-damage fraggers: Meant to delete mutants before they become a problem.
- Utility/control types: They often bring unique tools like stuns, slows, or map control advantages.
Pro Tip: When playing with friends, try to balance your roles. Going all-out damage might seem fun — until you’re bleeding out while no one brought heals.
2. Mastering the Moment – Time Pressure Is Real
Every second in GUNTOUCHABLES matters. Enemies ramp up, mutate, and overwhelm quickly if you’re not pushing forward. This is not a game where you can sit back and pick off stragglers at your leisure.
- Always be moving.
- Stick to your objectives — side loot is tempting, but lingering too long can cost your run.
- Communicate often in co-op. A well-timed distraction or flank can save the squad.
3. Understanding UpCrates – Cash, Perks & Greed
Completing objectives rewards you with UpCrates, which are essentially your source of Cash and Perks. They’re critical for building strength mid-run.
But here’s the twist: More crates = more risk. The longer you stay in mission zones to open them, the more enemies evolve and multiply. That creates a constant push-pull between:
- Playing it safe and underpowered
- Pushing your luck and snowballing or dying
Advice for new players:
Go for 1–2 UpCrates early on. Get a feel for how long you can safely stretch your missions. Greed wipes most new players in the first hour.
4. Enemy Mutations – Voting with Consequences
After every mission, your squad votes on which enemy mutation gets added next. These range from annoying (faster movement, extra armor) to downright punishing (poison auras, damage reflection).
But here’s the interesting part — each mutation vote also gives you some kind of benefit. That might be:
- A quick perk unlock
- Extra healing
- Bonus UpCrates in future zones
So it’s all about risk vs reward. Sometimes taking the worst mutation gives the best short-term gain. But stack too many tough mutations and your run becomes nearly impossible.
Pro Tip: Always consider your build. If you’re running high burst damage, enemies with armor are a nightmare. Tailor your votes wisely.
5. Build Crafting – Perks & Upgrades
Every character can equip:
- Common perks: General power boosts usable by anyone.
- Class-specific perks: These are what define your playstyle and synergy.
The goal is to layer perks that synergize — for example:
- A perk that increases reload speed
- One that boosts damage immediately after a reload
- A gun mod that adds burst shots on first bullet after reloading
Suddenly you’ve created a loop where reloading = big burst = more kills = more survival.
Pro Tip: Reroll perks only when you really need something different. Early cash is better spent on basic power spikes.
6. Guns, Mods & Custom Loadouts
Your gun is your lifeline. GUNTOUCHABLES features a wide selection of weapons — from precise rifles and shotguns, to mutant-slaying heavy gear. But guns alone won’t carry you.
Mods are where the real power kicks in.
Every gun can be customized with:
- Damage mods
- Elemental effects (fire, freeze, poison, etc.)
- Ammo capacity, reload tweaks, scope mods
Smart combinations of perks + mods can completely change how your gun functions.
For example:
- Combine a poison mod with a perk that deals bonus damage to status-affected enemies.
- Add a magazine extender to guns with powerful secondary fire modes.
Beginner Loadout Tip: Stick with something reliable like an SMG or shotgun early on. They’re forgiving, fast, and let you adapt while learning enemy patterns.
7. Surviving Longer Runs – Scaling & Teamplay
Each mission completed increases the difficulty. Enemies become faster, tougher, and more numerous. Boss-type mutants also begin to show up. You won’t survive long if your team isn’t scaling with the danger.
- Always upgrade between missions.
- Don’t skip healing or armor boosts — they can be the difference between a clutch revive and a full wipe.
- Watch your corners. Later mutations often include ambush mechanics or AoE damage.
In co-op, reviving teammates quickly and safely is more valuable than squeezing out a little extra damage. Coordination is key.
8. Community & Future Development
The devs are building GUNTOUCHABLES with long-term support in mind — which means more guns, perks, enemy types, and content updates. If you’re into building theorycrafts, finding busted synergies, or suggesting balance tweaks, definitely jump into the Discord.
You’ll not only stay updated but help shape the future of the game.
