About UpGun
UpGun is a fast‑paced PvP action title where each round you equip a single skill from a pool of over 50 options. Skills range from health bonuses to exploding bullets and grenade‑spawning grenades, creating a round‑by‑round tactical duel.
The game features a cartoon‑inspired visual style, diverse maps that each highlight different playstyles, and more than 200 cosmetic items for robot personalization. Multiplayer can be played online or via LAN and includes partial controller support.
01 / THE GUIDE
Skill Selection
At the start of every round you are offered a choice of one skill to equip. The catalog includes health boosts, explosive projectiles, and grenade‑spawning upgrades, among others, and you must pick exactly one.
Because only a single skill can be used each round, anticipating your opponent’s likely pick and choosing a countering upgrade becomes the core strategic element.
- Watch early opponent picks and select upgrades that directly oppose those abilities.
- Balance defensive options like health bonuses with offensive ones to keep your choices flexible.

Map Variety
UpGun provides several distinct maps, each emphasizing a particular style of play. Some maps reward long‑range shooting, while others give an edge to explosive or melee tactics.
The map you play on influences which upgrades are most effective, encouraging you to adapt your skill choices to the environment each match.
- Experiment on each map to see which upgrade synergies shine there.
- When facing an explosive‑focused opponent, consider a map that favors long‑range attacks.

Cosmetic Customization
