Gunstoppable Patch v17 Overhauls Johnny Jetpack, Graphics, and Combat
Patch 17 for Gunstoppable introduces a total rework for Johnny Jetpack, an automatic fire system for all weapons, and a complete removal of the pixelated visual filter. Players can also experience a streamlined starting area and a cleaned-up HUD.
CAGE Studios has deployed Patch 17 for Gunstoppable, bringing sweeping changes headlined by a complete mechanical rework of Johnny Jetpack. Alongside the character overhaul, the update strips out the pixelation visual filter, adds full automatic fire to every weapon, and introduces four original sci-fi music tracks from Entropykk.
Johnny Jetpack 2.0 and Combat Updates
Johnny Jetpack receives a full kit redesign covering movement, phases, abilities, and attacks. Players can now deploy mortar sprays, a double rocket slam, and a ramping minigun. To ease hand strain, all weapons now feature automatic fire by default, removing the need to spam clicks. Additionally, the slow-time mechanic has been adjusted to trigger automatically once the meter fills.
Visuals, UI, and Movement
The controversial pixelation effect has been removed entirely, clearing up the grainy visual clutter. The user interface has been rebuilt to center key HUD elements while fading out unnecessary clutter. Movement mechanics also see buffs, including a 50 percent increase to horizontal grapple range, improved momentum gains at high speeds, and adjusted ground friction and collision.
New Player Experience and Quality of Life
The starting area is now more linear and uncluttered, featuring an early upgrade that grants dual-wielding immediately. The intro sequence now includes a surprise attack from Johnny Jetpack. NPC Kane the Rat now handles all upgrade types, and mission trackers have received bug fixes and clearer information.
Why this patch matters
Patch 17 is a massive structural update that modernizes Gunstoppable's core feel by fixing visual clutter, smoothing out movement, and making combat less fatiguing with default auto-fire.
