A new trailer has been released for the single-player Warhammer 40K shooter Necromunda: Hired Gun proves that yes you can pet the dog. Or rather, you can pet the cybermastiff whose ceramic teeth will be used by your good, good boy to rip out the throats of your enemies.
Located in the seedy underbelly of one of the Imperium of Mankind’s vast production worlds, Necromunda: Hired Gun is a first-person single-player shooter set in the grim darkness of the distant future. Wednesday’s trailer lists the many different factions that players will interact with in the game, including the enforcers (Judge Dredd style hive police), mutants, gang members and the mysterious and powerful Imperial Inquisition.

The trailer also reveals that players can design their own character in-game and customize it over time with 12 types of bionic implants. There is also an ‘endless’ weapon upgrade system. According to the game’s website, the weapon system allows players to cheat “bolters, autoguns, long welding guns, plasma guns, power knives, grenade launchers and much more”.
