Loadout

Loadout is a free-to-play multiplayer shooter built around a simple idea, if you can imagine a ridiculous gun, you can probably build it. Matches are quick, loud, and intentionally over-the-top, with a cartoony art style that leans into crude comedy and exaggerated gore. The big hook is its modular weaponcrafting, letting you tinker with parts and ammo types to create an absurd range of firearms tailored to your preferred range, pacing, and chaos level.
