Necromunda: Hired Gun (v1.62662 & ALL DLC)

Necromunda’s underhive is a towering industrial nightmare where every rusted corridor, toxic sump, and crowded market hides another gang ready to collect a bounty on your head. Necromunda: Hired Gun turns Warhammer 40,000’s most infamous hive city into a fast, aggressive single-player FPS built around speed, vertical movement, and overwhelming firepower. You play a freelance bounty hunter chasing lucrative contracts through the criminal ecosystem, taking jobs that involve mutants, cultists, rival mercenaries, and heavily armed gangers. The tone is grimy and violent, but the pace is closer to an arcade shooter than a slow tactical 40K adaptation.

Missions mix linear combat arenas with sprawling industrial spaces that reward constant motion. A grappling hook, wall-running, double jumps, and air dashes let you zip between platforms or escape a swarm at the last second, while your cyber-mastiff marks targets, attacks foes, and can be upgraded into a valuable partner. Combat revolves around a large selection of familiar firearms, from rugged shotguns and autoguns to plasma weapons, with loot drops and customization parts encouraging you to tune weapons around your preferred range and damage style. Completing bounties earns cash and experience for cybernetic implants that improve mobility, survivability, and combat abilities, giving the campaign a light RPG progression layer without slowing its momentum.

Its strongest feature is the sheer mobility: few Warhammer 40,000 games let you sprint along walls, launch across factory shafts, and blast enemies apart before grappling to a higher firing position. The underhive’s dense visual design sells the setting well, packed with machinery, gothic architecture, grime, and the exaggerated weaponry fans expect from the universe. Some encounters can feel chaotic and the story mainly serves as an excuse for the next hunt, but players who enjoy Doom Eternal, Titanfall 2’s movement, or hard-edged 40K action find plenty to like. It suits newcomers who want a self-contained shooter and lore veterans eager to see Necromunda from street level.
