The wait will soon be over. Available for Xbox Series X|S in autumn: Squirrel with a gun is the crazy sandbox shooter and puzzle platformer you didn’t know you needed. And with this handy weapons training guide, joining the squirrel revolution has never been easier. Your first mission is to get your hands on a gun. Use your precious acorns to unlock new weapons you find all over the world, or steal one from an enemy agent. But watch your ammo – if you run out, find a reload circle or hold onto the auto-reload tool you can find all over the world to get yourself out of a jam.
Be sure to try out all 7 weapon types, each offering a unique advantage in combat and platforming.
Squirrel with a… 9mm pistol
The semi-automatic 9mm pistol is the first weapon at your disposal. It’s a classic for eliminating enemies one by one or for accelerating mid-air jumps up to four times. Pro tip: Are your fingers tired from all that shooting? Perform a takedown and watch the squirrel empty the entire magazine for you.
Squirrel with a… submachine gun
The submachine gun does less damage than the pistol, but its fully automatic feature helps take out enemies quickly. If you empty the entire magazine during a mid-air jump, this serves as a makeshift jetpack, propelling you to hard-to-reach places. A great choice for acorn hunting. Pro tip: Use this trick to get to the roof of the haunted house and grab the golden acorn on the chimney.
Squirrel with a … shotgun
The double-barreled shotgun is great for close-quarter combat and creates a ragdoll effect for epic takedown opportunities. Use the powerful recoil for long-distance driving. Pro tip: Use the shotgun while driving your RC car around to get your car up to top speed.
Squirrel with a… six-shooter
For the Cow Squirrel wannabe, there’s a six-shooter that’s a particularly spectacular way to take him down. Fire all 6 shots to speed up your jump. Pro tip: Earn your own Cow Squirrel hat by finding Wild Will and completing a secret objective for him with the six-shooter.
Squirrel with a … grenade launcher
The Grenade Launcher is a much more powerful six-shooter and is great for crowd control and explosive firefights, but beware of its short range and difficult aiming. The Jump Shot fires straight down, launching you far but dealing significant damage. Pro tip: you’ll need to dress properly to withstand explosive damage. The Bomb Suit can be found in a secret underground cave.
Squirrel with a… rocket launcher
For the Weapon Expert: Grab a rocket launcher to take out large enemies or fight groups of agents. Like the grenade launcher, save the jump shot for when you’re wearing a blast-proof suit. Pro tip: If an enemy fires a rocket at you, try to ride it and fly back to them.
Squirrel with a … sniper rifle
Head to a hidden vantage point with the semi-automatic sniper rifle to take out enemies from afar. Even the sniper rifle can be used to take down enemies epically, even when they’re far away. When playing platforming, use the sniper rifle jump for an extreme vertical boost. Its powerful recoil can take down even nearby baddies. Pro tip: Defeat a specific boss from above by finding the sniper rifle at the top of the scaffolding and aiming at weak spots.
Choose your weapon wisely and if you don’t have a weapon handy, get creative. Throw a grenade, a brick, a bottle, a football, a cake or whatever you can get your hands on to defeat the enemy and earn the nuts at any cost.
