The excitement of firing a big gun at a squishy, gibbable target is one of the most enduring experiences in gaming. The resurgent popularity of the “boomer shooter” is proof of the simple joy of reducing your enemies to mulch with overwhelming firepower.

In the grim dark future of the Warhammer 40,000 universe some of the mightiest tools of destruction in the galaxy are brought to bear in epic battles. For Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun we’ve recreated some of the fiercest weapons from these battlefields and dropped them into your hands as a player.

Here’s a rundown of just some of the armaments you’ll use to hack, shoot and crush your way through your enemies.



The Sternguard’s constant companion. The mighty Chainsword is a vicious tool. Part sword, part chainsaw and deadlier than both. One swift slash can eviscerate a human foe, but tougher enemies require a more concerted effort. By revving the chainsword’s trigger you can use the teeth to chew through armour, flesh and bone. Beware though, as dangerous as this weapon is, getting up close and personal with your foes can be a gamble. Tougher targets may shrug off your blows and even parry your strikes. Be sure to soften them up first with your other stalwart…





The most recognisable weapon in Warhammer 40,000 universe and the game’s namesake. The Boltgun fires mass-reactive bolts (not bullets) which explode not once, not twice but three times. First a cartridge launches the round out of the barrel, then the rocket propellant in the round ignites and the shell flies towards its target. When it reaches the enemy, the high caliber round penetrates the enemy and a fraction of a second later, explodes. This terrifying and brutal weapon has been represented many times in videogame form. Our goal is the most faithful recreation to date.

As your main weapon you’ll get to know every detail of the Boltgun’s functioning. Clocking hours of heretic slaughtering combat experience.





Not all of Boltgun’s weapons are drawn directly from Warhammer 40,0000’s lore. The Vengeance Launcher returns from Captain Titus’ arsenal in 2011’s “Space Marine”. This delayed action sticky grenade launcher turns your opponents into their own worst enemies. Attaching one of its charges to a heretic means that when it detonates, not only will your target be destroyed but also any allies unlucky enough to be caught in the blast radius.





Sometimes defeating the largest enemies of the Imperium requires the use of an equally big gun. The Grav-Cannon uses an opponent’s own mass against them. Its powerful Graviton beam compresses enemies, crushing them under their own weight. Tougher enemies have more mass and are comparatively more compressed. The Grav-Cannon is the fastest way to turn everything in front of you into a fine red slurry.

Just be sure not to get caught in the gravity well…and watch out for flying gibs.
