Four years ago, we launched Pistol Whip as an on-rails action-rhythm VR game, inspired by some of the most iconic action movies. Since then, we’ve updated the game every single year with free updates for our player community.

This year we launched the Overdrive Season, released a spooky update with Elixir of Madness!, and our favourite highlight - rolled out community generated content and an official modding tool.

Just like the game we make, our team is unstoppable and we're excited to share more with you in 2024! In the meantime, consider nominating Pistol Whip as your title for the 'Labor of Love' category at the upcoming Steam Awards - you can vote by checking the box above.

We hope you’re enjoying our most recent weapons update for our fourth anniversary which brought the all-new weapon category, the Drum Gun, to Pistol Whip.

Since the update, you’ve been writing to us about the bookshelves in ‘Halloween Party’ no longer functioning as intended, so today we are releasing a very small hotfix to address this issue!

As always, your feedback and bug reports are valuable! Feel free to reach out to our support team here or post your feedback in our Discord anytime.

Hey Action Heroes!

Four years ago, we launched Pistol Whip as an on-rails action-rhythm VR game, inspired by some of the most iconic action movies. Since then, we’ve updated the game every single year with free updates for the Pistol Whip community.

We added tons of new features to the game, dozens of new Scenes (did you know we now have over 35 Scenes available to play?), new music genres, Cinematic Campaigns, the highly requested community Remixes (mods), an official modding tool, and so much more to keep you coming back to your headsets.

This year, we’re marking our anniversary by dropping a surprise update, and gifting players with a little something extra for the occasion!

[h2]Drive the beat of your favourite Pistol Whip Scenes with the new Drum Gun![/h2]

More instrument than gun, the ‘Drum Gun’ is an all-new weapon type for even the most seasoned Heroes (and drummers) out there.



Craft your own music with this rhythm-infused weapon, where each shot, hit, or reload will make a different sound. Moving your hand to different locations changes the sound of your shots!

Check out the visual guide below for details:

• Four bullets on reload? Check.
  
• Cymbal sound effects on reload or when whipping an enemy? Check.
  
• A killer gun so you can feel like you're part of the band? Double (bass) check.
  

The Sonar SQ2 Drum Gun is available now in the gun case.

[h2]Behold: Three Other New Shiny Weapons[/h2]

We heard your feedback about how much you loved Overdrive’s Majesty Scene, with the ability to dual-wield crossbows. So, how about playing with a few other weapons inspired by the Scene?

We've added three new weapons to the game, each expertly crafted by our blacksmiths...er, we mean devs. Find them in the gun case under their specific weapon types:

• Metal Gauntlet (Brawler)
  
• Dragon Sword (Brawler)
  
• Witch Pistol (Revolver)
  

Thank you to all of our Action Heroes for your continued love and support. Enjoy the new weapons update!

Love,
Cloudhead Games
