Step 1: Embrace the Hive Life
Necromunda is not your average city. It's a gigantic, vertical, industrial nightmare full of gang warfare, corruption, and vending machines that probably sell ammo instead of snacks.

Rule #1: Everyone wants to kill you. Even that one guy who said, “Nice jacket.” He’s lying.

Rule #2: Trust your dog. It’s the only thing in this world that doesn’t secretly want to stab you for your loot.


Pro Tip: If you see something glowing, it’s either treasure or a trap. Touch it anyway—it’s called “adventuring.”
Step 2: Character Customization (or How to Look Cool While Dying)
Customization in Necromunda isn’t just about stats; it’s about style. Who cares if your armor is useful? Does it look awesome? That’s the real question.

Cybernetic Implants: Upgrade your body with all sorts of cyberware that makes you faster, stronger, and probably more likely to set off metal detectors.

Fashion Choices: Pick the most intimidating look possible. Nothing says “fear me” like a neon mohawk and goggles that glow brighter than your future.


Pro Tip: Your cybernetics don’t just make you cooler; they let you double-jump. That’s right, the laws of physics are for losers.
Step 3: Meet Your Dog (AKA the MVP)
Your dog is more than just a companion; it’s a murder machine with fur. Treat it well, or it might bite your arm off during a reload.

Dog Commands: Send it to attack enemies, sniff out loot, or just stare menacingly at people until they cry.

Upgrades: Yes, you can give your dog cybernetic enhancements. A robo-dog with laser eyes is objectively better than a regular dog.


Pro Tip: Pet the dog. Always pet the dog. It deserves it.
Step 4: Guns, Guns, and More Guns
Necromunda isn’t about diplomacy—it’s about firepower. The bigger and louder, the better.

Weapon Variety: From pistols to plasma cannons, you’ve got more weapons than a small army. Try them all. Even the dumb ones.

Customization: Slap scopes, silencers, and whatever else you find onto your guns. Will it help? Who cares—it looks awesome.

Grenades: Don’t forget grenades. They solve problems, create problems, and are the best way to greet groups of enemies.


Pro Tip: You can dual-wield weapons. Because why aim carefully when you can spray bullets in two directions at once?
Step 5: Combat: The Art of Stylish Murder
Combat in Necromunda is fast, chaotic, and very, very messy. Here’s how to excel:

1. Move Constantly: If you stop moving, you’ll be a bullet sponge. Sprint, slide, double-jump, wall-run—just don’t stop.


2. Use the Environment: Exploding barrels? Use them. Catwalks? Jump off them. Randomly placed ziplines? Absolutely use them.


3. Melee Madness: Guns are great, but sometimes you just need to get up close and personal with a chainsword.



Pro Tip: If you’re ever low on health, just kill something. The game rewards murder with healing. It's like medical science, but faster.
Step 6: Loot Everything
Loot is everywhere in Necromunda—on the ground, in chests, and sometimes still attached to the people you’ve killed.

Credits: Spend these on upgrades, ammo, and new outfits that scream, “I’m a stylish killer.”

Guns and Gear: If it’s shiny, take it. If it’s not shiny, take it anyway. You can always sell it later.


Pro Tip: Never ask where the loot came from. This is Necromunda; the answer is always “someone probably died for it.”
Step 7: Gangs Are Jerks
The Hive is crawling with gangs, and they all have one thing in common: they hate you.

The Orlocks: Think biker gang, but angrier and with more bullets.

The Escher: Poison-obsessed goth queens who will stab you and look amazing doing it.

The Goliaths: Giant muscleheads who skipped leg day but didn’t skip the steroids.


Pro Tip: Don’t try diplomacy. Just shoot first and loot their stuff later.
Step 8: Story? What Story?
Yes, there’s a story about betrayal, revenge, and some nonsense involving bionics. But let’s be real—you’re here to shoot things and make sarcastic comments, not win an Oscar.

Main Missions: Progress the story, kill bosses, and collect sweet loot.

Side Missions: More of the same, but with extra chaos and cash.


Pro Tip: If you get confused by the plot, just blame the Tithe Guild. They’re probably responsible.
Step 9: Boss Fights: Chaos Unleashed
Boss fights in Necromunda are epic, chaotic, and designed to make you scream at your screen.

Dodging Is Key: Bosses hit like trucks, so keep moving and hope for the best.

Use Your Dog: It’s your best chance at distracting the boss while you reload for the 15th time.

Environmental Hazards: Explosive barrels are your best friends. Use them liberally.


Pro Tip: If all else fails, spam grenades and hope for a miracle.
Step 10: Embrace the Chaos
Necromunda: Hired Gun isn’t about perfection—it’s about shooting everything that moves, looting everything that doesn’t, and looking cool while doing it. Whether you’re sliding under gunfire, wall-running into explosions, or sending your robo-dog to maul an entire gang, remember: chaos is the goal.

Now, get out there, hunter, and make a name for yourself in the Hive. Or die trying. Either way, it’ll be hilarious.
