It started on the Podcast...

On Episode 31 of The Halfbrick Show, we ran this challenge live with QA legend Fran to celebrate Gunbcrypt participating in Steam Next Fest. The rules: spin a wheel, get assigned one bullet type, and go as deep into the dungeon as you can using nothing else.

View store page Carmen went first. She pulled Multishot and is currently in the lead. Aiden and Fran still have to take their runs: Part 2 drops next week.

Now it's your turn!

GunCrypt has several different bullet pools. Most players grab whatever drops and figure it out on the fly. That is not how this works.

The GunCrypt Magazine Challenge has one rule:

You can only pick up bullets from your assigned pool. Everything else, no matter how rare, no matter how tempting, you'll have to leave on the ground.

No team required. Just you, your one bullet type, and whatever cursed build you can cobble together before the dungeon kills you.

The rules (brought to you by the Master!)

  • Pick your bullet type. Choose one of these pools: Vulnerable, Damage-only, Poison, Lightning or Multishot/Spreadshot. That is your entire arsenal. Bullets with mutiple effects are fair game, but only if they include your chosen pool.

  • Skip everything else. If a bullet drop does not match your pool, walk past it. Yes, even the Epics. Especially the Epics.

  • Relics and upgrades are fair game, unless they break the spirit of the challenge.

  • Go as deep as you can. Tiebreaker is your final damage score. Same rule we used on the show.

Share the build. Post your bullet type, your floor depth, and a screenshot of your final loadout in the comments.

Sharing is caring!

This is not a leaderboard. There is no prize. The point is to see what everyone figured out with the same constraints, and to find out if anyone can beat Carmen before Part 2 even airs. Want to check out her exact build? Try our official website to see how that went.

Drop your bullet type, your depth, and a screenshot. We are reading every single build post.

How to share?

  • Play the free demo during NextFest

  • Complete a Challenge run (dying heroically also counts)

  • Post: bullet type + floor depth + loadout screenshot

Format your comment like this: POOL: Multishot | DAMAGE: XXXX | [screenshot]

Play the demo & wishlist today!

GunCrypt is free to play during Steam NextFest. Download the demo, pick your bullet type, and let us know how it goes. Part 2 of the Halfbrick Show challenge drops next week: see how your run stacks up! Want to show your support? Wishlist Guncrypt today!

Guncrypt Good luck, partner!
