Off The Grid: Gunz Mainnet Surpasses 20,000 Web3 Players Daily

Off The Grid’s ecosystem is starting to take shape in practice, not just concept. Gunz, the standalone PvP arm of Gunzilla’s sci-fi shooter, is now fully live on mainnet and already averaging over 20,000 daily active wallets.

While the flagship Off The Grid campaign is still in development, Gunz serves as the live multiplayer slice of the broader experience. It’s Web3-enabled, cross-platform, and designed to function both independently and as a future component of the larger world.

PvP gameplay lives outside the core campaign

Gunz is not a traditional game mode it’s a parallel product. Players jump into PvP matches, build loadouts, and compete for resources in a persistent online setting. The structure is modular, with its own interface, matchmaking systems, and seasonal design.

The goal is to keep players engaged in Off The Grid’s universe while the narrative content is still being finalized. It also serves as a technical testbed for Gunzilla’s backend infrastructure and in-game economy.

Blockchain integration is live and operational

With mainnet now active, GUNZ tokens and digital assets are officially on-chain. Players use a linked wallet to manage gear, loadouts, and progression, with real ownership over key items. All assets are stored on Gunzilla’s proprietary blockchain, Zilliqa powered Layer 1 tech built specifically for gaming.

The economic model is focused on utility, not speculation. Assets are meant to enhance the experience inside Gunz, not exist solely as tradeable commodities. Crafting, marketplace functions, and in-game usage are the main drivers of the system.

Growing interest and retention

Hitting 20,000 daily active wallets is a solid early benchmark. While that doesn’t equate to 20K concurrent players, it shows a consistent flow of engagement across user sessions. In the Web3 space, where retention is often fragile, that number suggests Gunz is holding interest beyond launch week.

It also reflects a design choice to focus on onboarding through gameplay, not token farming. Players are entering for the action, with the blockchain layer working quietly in the background.

A separate lane from typical Web3 launches

What makes Gunz stand out is that it doesn’t pitch itself as a crypto-first product. It’s not built around token drops, land sales, or a roadmap of buzzwords. Instead, it positions itself as a functioning PvP shooter that just happens to run on-chain infrastructure.

This approach distances it from many Web3 games that frontload economics and promise utility later. In Gunz, the blockchain tech is already doing work under the hood, and the game is already in players’ hands.

Positioned for deeper integration with Off The Grid

Gunz may be a standalone product for now, but its structure is designed to plug directly into Off The Grid’s full game once that launches. Narrative elements, persistent profiles, and shared world mechanics are expected to bridge the two formats.

It’s not yet clear how seamless that integration will be, but the current momentum puts Gunzilla in a strong position to build outward, rather than starting from zero when the main title arrives.

As things stand, Gunz is functioning not just as a side project, but as an operational core of the broader Off The Grid platform.
