Madshot: Road To Madness Announcement!
Hey humans,
We have a juicy surprise for you.
As you know, we are constantly working on improving the Madshot experience. So far we have delivered bugfixing, optimization and balancing, and new content with the Sidearms Update and the Halloween Event and we are working on more updates to come soon but... something has happened (Gothic organ music plays in the background).
While testing some features in our alchemical lab we felt some dark energy condensing in the air. Before we could understand what happened we had put together a new game experience.
Say hello to Madshot: Road To Madness, an insane spin-off where you will slaughter, subdue and control endless hordes of enemies, get the highest score possible and climb the online leaderboards!
We want to reassure you that the release of Road To Madness will not interfere with the development of Madshot and that if you already own the game, you can access his spin-off Madshot: Road to Madness for free.
We will give you more details through the official Madshot: Road To Madness Steam page.

The road to madness starts here.
See you there,

Madshot Halloween Update
Welcome back humans, we've got some news for you.
We are working on a big update that is just around the corner but - in the meantime - it’s time to celebrate the spookiest time of the year, so… you’re officially invited to join our first Halloween-themed event!
Jump in the Madshot’s madness again to experience:
- A new ultimate ability: “Face of the hallow”
Endless sticky bombs (thorny pumpkins). - A new rite: “Rite of the hallow”
Destroy a certain number of pumpkins to receive 666 aether in rewards. - Halloween decor everywhere!
- Meet the new Miniboss “The Scarecrow”
A friendly pumpkin head scarecrow-ish.
Don’t be scared, join us in the abyss (and from the 25th October with a special discount for fresh meat)!

See you there!
PS: A new door seems to be opening and something chaotic is coming our way. It's supposed to be a secret but I think I can tell you... (a tentacle pops from the shadows and takes Camilla away).

New Update: Sidearms & Synergies
Hi humans,
Our journey has just begun - and the abyss is deep - but your support has been incredible and continues to be instrumental. Thanks to your suggestions and feedback we have decided to make the following improvements and changes to Madshot:
Sidearms & Synergies
Sidearms:
- Added a new sidearms room that spawns in the map.
- Added 8 sidearms with unique functionalities designed to augment your other abilities.
Main Weapons:
- We have reworked the guns to increase variety and encourage experimentation with the new synergies.
Input:
- ”Drop action” is now "Pickup/Drop action" so you can still pick up objects when you have a sidearm equipped. Remember to use the custom key bindings to suit your playstyle.
Alterations: Paths & Synergies
Alterations are no longer lumped into one pool. Your early choices will unlock new options that compliment your build. Experiment with different starting choices and don’t underestimate what a few “Enhancements” (level-ups) can do.
We have reworked most alterations to encourage creative builds and synergies, as well as added some new ones to make specialized builds more viable.
Added:
- Residue: Toxic foes spawn a gas Cloud on death.
- Recycle: Dominated foes spawn a healing orb on death
- Rust: First bullet after reload gains additional Toxic Damage
- Mender: Dominated foes are restored to full health.
- Pandemonium: Foes afflicted with dominate gain more damage for every other dominated foe.
Remade:
- Most alterations have either had their functionality or numbers tweaked to better synergize with a wider array of builds and combinations.
Removed (Or replaced with store items):
- Dark Coin
- Midas Touch
- Dark Touch
- Dark Coin
- Daze
- Flatulence
Others changes
Relics:
- ”Face of the Abyss” duration has been doubled, and you emit a “curse wave” every 2 seconds.
- “Face of the void” now requires half the essence of the other ults.
Visuals:
- Updated all the store Items' art.
- Updated some old Icons and VFX.
Store:
- Various changes to store items functionality and price.
Music:
- New alternating track for zone 1-2.
**Warning**
Explosions now damage you as well. But don’t let that scare you off.
We hope you will enjoy these improvements! If you want to help us make Madshot even better, join us on Discord to share your feedback and participate in our exclusive beta testing sessions.
The abyss and all of its crowded paths are waiting for you.
See you there!
