GAZZLERS' Journey So Far
Bolt Blaster Games quickly followed their release with a first update, GAZZLERS 1.1. listening closely to feedback from their fans, they improved on the game with lots of bug fixes and rebalances. They added a much-requested left-handed mode, as well as some support for the Meta Quest 3 with improved frame rate and higher resolutions.
With the spooky season quickly ending, they managed to squeeze in an awesome Halloween update, GAZZLERS 1.2 - Nightmare Edition! Aside from many more technical improvements, GAZZLERS embraced the festivities with some cool Halloween-themed reskins for the lobby and even some enemies. And for those brave enough, they added various difficulties, including the titular Nightmare Mode, ensuring even the most pro-VR players will have their work cut out for them!
What's New in 1.3?
With 1.3, GAZZLERS expands on the game’s content with new weapons, upgrades, daily and weekly challenges, and even more fixes, rebalances, and quality-of-life improvements, much of which is based on feedback from within their dedicated community. They are very transparent about their workflow; a full dev log will soon be available on their store pages and Discord channel. In terms of the new content, we’ve got you covered:
New Components
One of the most fun things to do in GAZZLERS is to try out all the different weapon components and see how they all work together. This update introduces three brand-new ones: The Desk Splitter, the Timey Wimey, and the Bouncy Hunter.
The Desk Splitter is a barrel component that fires a spray of horizontal bullets. The fun here is that in VR, you can tilt your gun at any angle you want, altering the angle of the spray!
The Timey Wimey (who comes up with these names) is a receiver component that rewards you for timing your reload just right. It’s a bit tricky to get in the right time frame (you must listen closely), but once you do, you get a very welcome damage buff for the remainder of that clip
Now, the Bouncy Hunter is something special. This barrel component fires electric bullets that bounce off enemies! It’s very satisfying to see those bullets bounce around, and the amount of bounces increases per rarity, so you can imagine the beautiful chaos this creates.
Faulty Mods
They also added a new kind of Mods, which are essentially passive upgrade effects. This Faulty Mod rewards you with a stat buff, but you must pay some health first. Choose wisely!
Daily and weekly challenges
A fun addition for both first-time and more seasoned players are the challenges. Every day and every week, new challenges will be generated for you to try to complete. They give the newbies some nice scrap bonuses and the completionists something extra to pursue on their next run.
Celebrate with a Special Discount
GAZZLERS will be offered at a 40% discount on Quest, Pico, and Steam from the 20th to the 28th of November to coincide with their big 1.3 update. You won’t get much better value than this, so be sure to get it and get in on the VR fun!
