Enjoy a Refreshed User Experience with our Holiday Update!

[h2]Hey There, Action Heroes![/h2]

Kick off the holidays with Pistol Whip’s latest quality-of-life update! Our team has completely overhauled the user experience, significantly improving the HUD, tutorials, score kickers, and more. Changes made possible thanks to valuable community feedback from players like you!



[h2]Improved User Experience[/h2]

First up in our list of upgrades, menus are more straightforward than ever, with a fresh redesign that clearly displays and briefly describes all of the game modes at your disposal! The HUD system has also been overhauled and now includes a settings toggle that can make it static. You can keep your HUD mounted to your headset, or you can enjoy the new static setting with the switch of a toggle in your in-game settings menu.

That’s not all! We’ve also introduced a new unlocking and pop-up system to ease new Action Heroes into the Pistolverse.



[h2]New Tutorials[/h2]

Brand new tutorials also debut in this update to help new agents dive into the action!

  • Beat
  • Accuracy
  • Recovery
  • Dodging




[h2]Quality of Life Improvements[/h2]

Last but certainly not least, score kickers have been modified to improve visibility and now display the total amount of points an Action Hero receives. Additionally, a revolving door has been implemented in-game to let players exit in style!

All of this drops today, with even more exciting content on the way!



Love,

So what exactly does “regular content” mean anyway? Well, the first iteration of Pistol Whip hit stores on November 7 2019, and since then, there have been 12 major updates to add new Scenes and blood-pumping beats, new weapons and game modes, features and cosmetic changes, and two awesome campaigns.

For three years, Pistol Whip has been the vessel for players to become the star of their own action-movie, blasting through cyberpunk cities, alien attacks, robot revenge, the wild wild west, and so much more.

Just like the game we make, our team is unstoppable, so get ready to boot up those headsets soon. Over the course of the next year we’ll be throwing new stuff at you left and right. Pistol Whip is an experience we continue to nurture and support because so many of you love it, and we really love it too. Think you can show that love by voting for us?

Love,
Cloudhead Games :)
