- UpGun technical changes - 8 March 2026
Hey! So more changes to UpGun, I'm glad the game is working again for Russian player, and has an easier time checking the DLC for everyone! If you need (I don't know why you would) but disabling the DLC on your Steam account now disables it on your game as well.Changes:Added a Danish translation thanks to LAVA20!Added new lights to the interiors of "Airsoft"Fixes:-Fixed the lighting glitch on airsoft using potatoe mode.-Fixed the grenade vertical throw not working as intended.-Fixed some mesh collisions.
- UpGun technical changes : New loading screen and better lighting - 4 March 2026
Hey!Some news! I've been hard at work on Blood Rush but the UpGun gained a lot of popularity in Russia and there is an issue. For some reason, most internet providers are blocking or taking too long to answer the request from my server. I overalled the DLC verification code and smashed it in a really short loading screen when launching the game.I plan on adding more content soon too, a new map is on its way.Changes:Added a loading screen allowing for a better DLC vérification system.Baked lighting for some maps.Main menu is baked.Lobby is baked.I'm experimenting with baked lighting in order to provide a smoother experience and better lightning effects. This is taking a really long time because I need to rework every single model in the game so I will update maps on separate updates.The first arena to be baked is Airsoft. I took the opportunity to update some of the meshes and collisions…

Hey! Thanks everybody for your support, here are some bug fixed :Shooting a dead player with the Shrapnels skill won't deal damage anymore.The homing indicator will now disappear if you unequip the related skill.I also refactored and improved that code, the indicator will be far more reliable and performance friendly.

- UpGun 2.1.0.0c Bugfixes - 2 February 2026
Hey! Thank you so much for all the messages about the new update, I'm so glad it is received this positively! Some infos before the bugfixes! IF YOU ARE IN RUSSIA, sometimes the DLC doesn't appear to be purchased because some internet providers there are blocking my servers for some reason... To fix that issue, try to load https://www.maxestla.com (my website), if it doesn't load, try to contact your internet provider. If it loads, you are not completely blocked, but sometimes it takes some days before they allow you access to my servers to access the DLC.Also, the game will be translated in Danish soon! If you want to help me and translate the game, be sure ton contact me on discord or via email. Thanks for playing with me too, it was really fun.(I lost every other match)And finally, what's been fixed!Some people received skins that shouldn't have been dropped (you can keep them, but I…
- New GAMEMODE! New Skills! - 2 February 2026
HEY! Long time no see :) I haven't had much time to work on UpGun lately (I was working on this game), but seeing players having fun on the game to this day really inspired me this big update. I really hope you'll like it!First of...NEW GAME MODE!I wasn't expecting to be able to implement new game modes to UpGun but in the end, I managed to do it! The game was developed with a friend of mine who has now left the project to work in a big studio, and I wasn't confident about my skills to work on his codebase. Working on my other game, Blood Rush, the last few years allowed me to learn c++ and to get a much deeper understanding of the Unreal ecosystem. Without creating another complex game like Blood Rush, this wouldn't have been possible at all.You can now play the brand new Gun Game game mode!With this game mode, games are much shorter and you do not choose your upgrades, they choose you…
- UpGun is part of the 2025 ZLAN !! - 2 April 2025
As the title says, UpGun will be one of the games played at ZLAN this year, and it’s an extraordinary honor for me to participate in such a big event. Thank you for your trust. Several things are worth mentioning on this occasion, first of all, new skins! We will celebrate the ZLAN with new skins available for free and distributed at the game launch until April 30. (the rifle is reserved for DLC owners) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1977800/UpGun__FullGame/ Changes: In order to avoid changing the game meta before the competition, the changes are very subtle and specific. Added an option to hide the interfaces. The mouse wheel scroll can now be assigned to an action. Throwing knives and melee attacks are no longer compatible. (picking one would cancel the other) Eliminations with crampons now grant 250 points (instead of 200). Player hats now appear on X-ray vision. Fixes: Eliminati…
- UpGun technical changes 2.0.6.1 - 14 June 2024
Hey ! Thank you all for the reception of the last update ! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1575870/view/4182233734644275405 UpGun peaked with 220 concurrent players last week end. Since I did a lot of work in the last update some issues appeared and were fixed : The sensibility wasn't correct when controlling a drone. The sensibility wasn't set for the first 0.2s after spawning. This was fixed the very next day on the beta branch. I took a lot of time to rewrite the save system in cpp in order to access it from the base classes of the game code. Since I rewrote the save, your settings have been reset. I took some time to also add a very requested feature, deck renaming. If you play with decks, you can now rename your decks to easily find them. Other changes : - Fixed an issue where some players could not access mutators. - Updated the spoutnik collision.
