About MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE
MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE thrusts you into a frantic VR first‑person shooter where you assemble hand‑held weapons from collected parts. The crafting system lets you snap components like chainguns, railguns, and pizza launchers together in real time, then blast waves of alien machines and bosses.
The title offers room‑scale, seated, and free‑movement options and runs on Meta Quest 2, Valve Index, HTC Vive, and HP Reverb G2. It supports tracked controllers, captions, online co‑op, Steam achievements, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing, providing a range of accessibility and social features.
01 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Crafting
Gun parts are earned by defeating enemies and can be picked up and snapped into place directly in VR. This immediate assembly lets you experiment with combinations such as chainguns, railguns, and pizza launchers during a run.
Each part contributes its own firing behavior, so the resulting weapon determines how you engage the MOTHERGUNSHIP’s metal minions. The system encourages on‑the‑fly adjustments to match the current threat.
- Try mixing a high‑rate component with a high‑damage barrel to see how fire rate and impact balance.
- Observe how projectile trajectories change when swapping railgun elements.

Movement Modes
The game supports room‑scale movement, allowing you to physically dodge, limbo, and punch through bullet clouds. A seated mode offers stationary play for those who prefer less physical activity.
Free‑movement mode lets the player character dodge using the controller, providing an alternative to full room‑scale motion while retaining the core dodging mechanic.
- Use seated mode if you need a stable base for precise aiming.
- Practice quick controller‑based dodges in free‑movement to handle fast enemy fire.

Enemy Variety
The MOTHERGUNSHIP fleet includes alien machines, explosive traps, metal pests, and larger bosses. Each group presents distinct attack patterns that test different aspects of your weapon build.
Recognizing an enemy’s behavior helps you decide whether a rapid‑fire chaingun or a high‑damage railgun will be more effective against that specific threat.
- Watch for visual cues that signal an explosive trap before it activates.
- Match slower, high‑damage weapons to heavily armored bosses for better efficiency.

The presence of both seated and free‑movement modes, along with captions, ensures that players can tailor the experience to their comfort and sensory preferences.
- Enable captions if you rely on visual audio cues.
- Switch between movement modes to find the most comfortable play style.
