Squirrel with a Gun Gets Brand-New Varmint Collection Free Update

A squirrel with a gun might be dangerous, but what about the many other animals in the world. Squirrel with a Gun has a new free update dropping on all platforms!

Last year, Squirrel with a Gun would drop and would garner attentions thanks to its ridiculous premise. Taking control of a squirrel experimented on with enhanced intelligence, you take up a gun and begin exploring. It’s a goofy time with a unique gunplay system that doesn’t take itself seriously and focuses on a wacky fun time.

After releasing, the game would gain a variety of free updates improving and expanding upon the original experience. This would include updates like the Ratatoskr update which included a new boss, and the Gravity Gun update adding a unique new weapon to mess around with. These updates improved the game with extra content, with this next update adding onto the fun.

SQUIRRELS, POSSUMS, AND RACCOONS, OH MY!

While the new Varmint Collection update has a couple of new content to explore. However, the primary focus is the new cosmetics that now allow players to change their species. The update allows players to not only play as squirrels, but a variety of other animals as well.

These animals include names from across the animal kingdom. Some are similar in form to the squirrel, like rabbits and possums, though some include more odd ball choices like cats, ferrets, and raccoons. No matter your choice, the spread of different animals allows players to choose their favorite animals, and see how well they fare with a firearm.

There is more to the update than just cosmetics, however, with couple of new challenges to overcome as well. New enemies in the form of trash monsters populate the area, with bunkers to challenge to get new cosmetics and golden acorns. Other quests can be found as well, challenging your skills in both marksmanship and exploration.

This update also adds a new game plus mode, allowing you to replay with items and costumes already unlocked. This means you can rewatch cutscenes with outfits you wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. This mode gives players a reason to re-experience the fun with their favorite cosmetics and upgrades right from the start.
