GunZ loadout planner

The loadout planner helps GunZ The Duel players assemble weapon sets before jumping into Steam matchmaking, clan scrims, or quest lobbies. On the live site, the UI exposes three weapon slots, quick-slot dagger mapping, armor weight indicators, and shareable URLs. This guide documents how the planner works, recommended presets for 2026 remaster rulesets, and how loadouts interact with K-Style combos and the combo reference.

GunZ loadouts are not cosmetic flex alone — swap timing between rifle, shotgun, and sword defines whether your reload cancel routes are even possible mid-fight. Planning ahead prevents accidental overweight armor that blocks flip routes on classic maps.

Planner UI overview (interactive)

When embedded on the wiki, the planner presents:

Slot panel

• Primary (slot 1) — usually rifle or SMG for tap fire openings
• Secondary (slot 2) — shotgun for point-blank burst or space creation
• Melee (slot 3) — sword for butterfly chains and finishers
• Quick slot (Q) — dagger for stun setups and mobility swaps

Drag-and-drop icons reorder weapons; the live component validates duplicates according to mode rules (some event lobbies restrict one-shot weapons).

Weight and armor toggles

Legacy GunZ armor tiers affect movement speed and flip availability. The planner shows:

Armor tier	Movement note	Planner badge
Light	Best for K-Style duelists	Green
Medium	Balanced quest farming	Amber
Heavy	Tanky clan war pushes	Red mobility warning

Toggle armor to see predicted speed class. Pair with controls sensitivity recommendations if you switch tiers often.

Mode presets dropdown

• Duel / Match — optimized TTK trades and low weight
• Clan War — heavier armor acceptable, shotgun focus on choke points
• Quest / PvE — sustained DPS rifles, med kit slot reminders (when enabled in game)
• Beta experimental — mirrors beta tracker weapon tuning flags

Selecting a preset auto-fills slots but leaves Q bind user-defined for muscle memory.

Share and import flows

The interactive UI generates short codes:

1. Build loadout visually
2. Click Copy share link — URL encodes slots and armor
3. Clanmates import on their planner tab; strings stay locale-agnostic
4. Optional JSON export for stream overlays

Share links help coaches review newbie setups without screen sharing entire desktops during Steam release onboarding nights.

Sample competitive loadouts

Static previews until your build is saved in the tool:

Standard duelist

Slot	Weapon	Role
1	Semi-auto rifle	Tap fire and reload cancel pressure
2	Shotgun	Punish wall cancels at close range
3	Sword	Butterfly and finish
Q	Dagger	Stun opener into slot 3
Armor	Light	Max movement tech

Clan war flex

Slot	Weapon	Role
1	SMG	Spray transfer in team fights
2	Shotgun	Hold narrow lanes on large maps
3	Sword	Duel isolated targets
Q	Dagger	Quick escape after revives
Armor	Medium	Survive focus fire

Cross-reference weapon stats on the weapons hub when patches shift TTK during updates.

Integrating with practice tools

1. Save a duel loadout and open the combo reference filtered to matching weapons
2. Drill only combos reachable with your Q bind — changing dagger timing invalidates prior muscle memory
3. After remaster patches, re-import share links; UI highlights weapons with changed models that obscure screen center
4. For quest farming, duplicate profile into PvE preset and swap rifle mods without touching PvP binds

Remaster and beta caveats

Weapon icons and attachment slots may differ in beta builds. Planner data tags items with build ID strings sourced from patch notes. If an import fails, compare against latest beta article — deprecated weapons show strikethrough in the UI.

MasangSoft has not announced pay-to-win loadout slots; planner assumes classic three-gun structure unless patch notes expand slots.

Accessibility

Keyboard navigable slot selection, high-contrast icons for remaster HUD parity, and screen reader labels for each weapon role beyond internal code names.
