GUNTOUCHABLES is a fast-paced co-op shooter with distinct characters, varied weapons, and mission-based progression. If you’re just starting out, this guide will break down the essentials — from mission selection to understanding each character’s role, and the types of weapons you’ll encounter.
GUNTOUCHABLES Guns, Weapons, Characters & Missions Tips
1. Mission Selection & How Expeditions Work
When you host a game in GUNTOUCHABLES, you’ll choose from Expeditions — stage-based missions with different objectives and enemy setups.
- At Launch: There are 4 Expeditions and 4 characters, plus a Weekly Expedition unlocked at Player Rank 7.
- First Exposure Mode:
Your first run on any expedition is easier, with:- Reduced enemy health
- Lower enemy damage
- Increased consumable drops
New players can trigger this mode for the whole lobby.
- Heat Mode:
Adds difficulty modifiers (“mutators”) for tougher runs. At release, 7 mutators are available, each changing enemy behavior or stats. - Progression:
Complete expeditions in order to unlock the next one. Weekly expeditions rotate and offer special challenges.
Tip: Play your first few runs in First Exposure to learn layouts and enemy behavior before tackling harder modes.

3. Guns & Weapon Types
There are five core weapon categories in GUNTOUCHABLES, plus special variants you can unlock.
| Weapon Type | Strengths | Weaknesses |
