Guntouchables Beginner Tips & Tricks for New Players

The mutant apocalypse in Guntouchables is chaotic, relentless, and unforgiving — but also packed with opportunities to turn the tide if you know how to play smart. Whether you’re diving in solo or teaming up with friends, success comes from more than just pulling the trigger. You’ll need to balance stamina, manage resources, and make quick decisions that keep you alive through each mission.

This guide covers essential beginner tips and strategies to help you survive longer, clear objectives faster, and set yourself up for stronger future runs.

1. Pick a Beginner-Friendly Starter Character

Your first character choice shapes how you handle early-game challenges.

• Best for Newcomers: Linda — Her melee shovel attack gives you a reliable, ammo-free way to deal with close-range threats, perfect while learning reload timing and ammo conservation. At early levels, Linda also unlocks a perk that reveals consumable locations on the map, letting you feed your team valuable resources.
• Solo-Friendly: Commando — Comes with powerful grenades for clearing large enemy groups. Grenades replenish every time you restock ammo, so plan routes around resupply points to keep his AoE damage ready.
• Support Option: Doctor Marcus — Doubles healing and revive effectiveness at Level 2, great for team play. His ability to spike-heal teammates makes him a lifesaver in chaotic fights.
• Long-Range Choice: Sharpshooter Alfred — Uses stamina to boost weapon damage while aiming; works best if you’re comfortable managing stamina carefully. Reserve this boost for critical shots instead of constant aiming to avoid stamina drain before big waves.

Tip: Try each character, but stick with one until you learn their strengths and weaknesses. Familiarity is a big advantage in early runs.

Learn the Game Modes in Guntouchables

Expeditions are the stage-based missions you select when hosting. Progressing through them unlocks the next one, while Weekly Expeditions (available at higher ranks) rotate with special challenges.

Start with First Exposure mode — it reduces enemy health/damage and increases consumable drops — to learn layouts safely. Heat Mode, on the other hand, adds mutators that change enemy stats or behaviors. Begin with a few before stacking more to avoid overwhelming difficulty.

2. Manage Stamina and Dash for Survival

The Dash (default: Spacebar) is your lifeline for dodging danger and repositioning. It consumes stamina, so spamming it recklessly will leave you stranded when you need it most.

• Save it for emergencies like breaking out of a mob or escaping dangerous choke points.
• Pair with perks such as Good Cardio (reduced dash cost) or Stamina Regeneration (faster recovery). Also grab Speed Buff early — higher base movement speed lets you kite more easily and conserve dash for critical escapes.
• Stay aware of stamina usage from melee attacks or special abilities, not just dashing. The stamina bar sits just below your HP above your character — check it before committing to risky moves.

Pro Tip: If a wave is incoming, preserve stamina for the worst moments rather than spending it on minor movements.

3. Focus on Spawners Before Clearing Enemies

It’s tempting to mow down every mutant you see, but enemies will keep coming until you destroy their spawners — boil-like growths erupting from the ground. Eliminating these quickly reduces enemy density, conserves ammo, and gives you breathing room to complete objectives.

Remember: you don’t have to clear every enemy to finish a mission. If ammo is low or the path is flooded, skip unnecessary fights and focus on the objective instead.

4. Use Your Pistol and Save Heavy Ammo

Your pistol is more than a backup — it’s perfect for dealing with weaker enemies like Ticks or breaking crates without wasting primary weapon ammo. It’s also ideal for tapping Corrupted Nymphs from a distance, keeping you safe from status effects. Reserve your stronger guns for high-health targets or emergencies.

Let the Drone Handle Small Threats

Your Drone auto-targets low-health enemies like Ticks and Nymphs, thinning swarms while you focus on the mission. Keep line-of-sight so it can fire effectively. When Tick Carriers drop multiple Ticks, pause for a moment — the Drone often wipes them out before they reach you.

5. Use Hazards and Explosives to Control Crowds

Red explosive barrels can instantly clear a mob if triggered at the right time.

• Memorize barrel locations as you explore.
• Lure enemies toward them before firing.
• Combine barrels with choke points for maximum impact.

Other hazards include Corrupted Ground, which builds a Corruption meter while you stand in it. Move to safe ground to clear the effect. If you pick the Mold Spores mutation, you won’t regenerate stamina while Corrupted — another reason to avoid these zones.

6. Choose Mutations That Won’t Overwhelm You

Between missions, you must select a Mutant Evolution (enemy buff) in exchange for a player bonus. Some choices are less dangerous than others:

• Range Boost (Bile Crawler): Slow, low-HP enemies that rarely get close — easy Drone or rifle kills.
• Mega Outbreak on Ticks — More Ticks spawn, but they’re weak and usually cleared instantly.
• Crippling Hit on Nymphs — They rarely reach you before dying.
• Regeneration on Worm Stabbers — Stationary enemies you can avoid entirely.

Avoid mutations that significantly buff already dangerous enemies like Bile Spitters or Bile Runners.

7. Collect Crates for Long-Term Perk Gains

Crates, marked on the minimap with green glow and white-rimmed circles, unlock Perks once the mission is complete. The number of crates collected determines how many Perks you receive, so grabbing even one or two per run can make a big difference over time.

Even if grabbing a crate is risky, the long-term rewards often justify the detour.

8. Check the Minimap Regularly to Plan Your Route

The minimap (top-right corner) shows:

• Mission objectives and paths
• Crate locations
• Useful items and hazards

Check it often to avoid wandering aimlessly or missing valuable loot, especially when resources are low. Use it to plan crate detours and spot safe resupply points between big fights.

9. Select Weapons That Match Your Playstyle

Choosing the right weapon for your playstyle is essential:

Weapon Type	Strengths	Weaknesses
Rifles	Balanced damage and range	Slight damage drop on penetration
Shotguns	Strong close-range burst	Weak at long range
Machine Guns	High suppression fire	Burns ammo quickly
Pistols	Reliable backup	Limited damage
Launchers	Huge AoE damage	Slow reload, low ammo

Beginner tip: Stick to rifles or shotguns until you master ammo management.

Once you’re comfortable, visit Baxter’s Bazaar to apply mods — reload speed, mag size, damage, accuracy, and more. Applying several unlocks Milestone Mods that can drastically boost performance or add elemental effects.

Quick-Start Loadouts

• Solo safety: Linda + Shotgun (mobility, stamina perks, and close-range dominance).
• Team sustain: Marcus + Rifle (reliable DPS with strong healing support).
• Anchor/Crowd control: Commando + Launcher or Rifle (grenades reset on ammo resupply).

10. Play in First Exposure Mode to Learn the Game

For your first few runs, First Exposure Mode reduces enemy health and damage while boosting consumable drops. It’s a safer way to learn layouts, enemy patterns, and objective pacing before moving into harder modes like Heat Expeditions.
