Gunstoppable FAQ
Launch-window answers for platforms, pricing, combat systems, and wiki coverage
This Gunstoppable FAQ collects launch-era answers players ask most often after the August 5, 2026 Steam release and ahead of the August 31, 2026 Xbox Series debut. CAGE Studios’ solo-dev momentum roguelite FPS ties speed to damage, dual-wields ten weapons with hex-grid mods, and ships a fully voiced four-act campaign. When official posts contradict forum rumors, we side with Salaar and the CAGE team—then link deeper guides on this wiki.
Use this page as a quick index. Detailed walkthroughs live on Getting Started, Movement and Momentum, and Launch Notes.

Gameplay systems
Does speed really equal damage?
Yes—and Patch 26 expanded the rule. Momentum now multiplies damage, attack speed, and reload speed (see Movement and Momentum and Views & Scoring). Standing still collapses DPS even with strong augments. The speedometer HUD (Patch 25) helps diagnose drops mid-fight.
How does Reaper Mode work?
Reaper Mode is manual since Patch 24. Build kill chains while moving, then press Q on keyboard or B on controller to enter slow time—not automatic. Read Reaper Mode and Controls for bindings.
How many weapons, attachments, and augments?
Roughly 10 weapons, ~14 attachments, and ~24 augments on hex grids per weapon. Dual-wield two independent guns; rearrange at Kane the Rat between routes. Details: Weapons Hub, Attachments & Augments.
Who is Kane the Rat?
The between-floor merchant selling attachments, augments, and meta-adjacent picks. Permanent progression also exists—Permanent Upgrades.
Campaign, bosses, and content
| Topic | Detail |
|---|---|
| Story structure | Four-act fully voiced campaign through capitalist nightmare biomes. |
| Boss count | Five capitalist bosses plus major set pieces like Johnny Jetpack and Fluffy the Giant Robot Crab. |
| Fluffy naming | Community and official materials use Fluffy the Giant Robot Crab or Fluffy the Crab—Robot Crab guide. |
| Demo status | Patch 26 removed the public demo at full launch—practice on purchased 1.0 or wait for future announcements. |
Achievements and scoring
Steam lists 21 achievements at launch. Three names are confirmed from player profiles and official posts:
- Over Achiever — score 100,000 in a single run

- Challenge Accepted — complete challenge orbs/goals
Other titles may remain hidden until unlocked—see Achievements for category habits without guessing every string. Xbox achievement parity may differ until August 31—check platform lists after console launch.
Leaderboards and viral views fantasy scoring tie into the livestream revenge premise—Leaderboards and Views & Scoring.
Steam Deck and PC performance
CAGE Studios posted full Steam Deck support on August 4, 2026—gameplay works seamlessly on Deck hardware, though Steam Deck Verified status was not yet awarded at that post. Read Steam Deck guide for settings (VSync, low graphics, controller aim Patch 26) and System Requirements.
Launch-day hotfix (August 5) addressed performance, a low graphics bright white bug, VSync save persistence, and a 0-health door stuck soft-lock. Track follow-ups on Patch Notes.

- Demo missing? Removed at 1.0 launch per Patch 26 messaging.
- Achievements not popping? Confirm you own app 3724710, not the old demo product.
