Overview

The player assembles firearms from modular weapon parts, snapping components together to build a weapon, then converts the assembly into a usable gun and fires it. The developer's Steam description compares the idea to customizing a gun in VR.

Controls follow the tracked controllers' trigger, grip, menu and touchpad inputs. The trigger grabs outlined objects, selects menu items and fires a held gun; the grip drops held objects and opens a properties menu when used beside a gun part. The touchpad changes component properties such as rate of fire and magazine size, operates functions such as laser sights, and handles reloading and ejecting magazines.
