Fully Physics based interactions

We built complex systems and inventive solutions to bring you one of the most advanced physics setups on the market.

Complex Gun Physics

Hold guns for any part, perform one handed reloads with shotgans and pistols and any crazy trick you can come up with!

New enemy system

New optimised ragdolls, death animations, physics interactions and much easier to punch and hit with objects!

New Narrative Lobby

As you know we are working on Story mode for Hard Bullet and the new lobby is much closer to the story we going to tell.

This lair of our pratogonist has several very important points of interest we'd like to talk.

New Armory Layout

Legendary weapons are grouped and we are working on new gun appearence. In the future updates we'll add more variations of how you can navigate and group firearms by types, style, ammo type etc.

Such system will allow us to bring new weapon packs and make more noticable updates for shooting side of Hard Bullet.

Press buttons below the layouts to change them.

Level Selector

Trying to make is more user friendly and add more functionality. Right now only Sandbox, Baths and Action maps are avaliable.

Right now there is no Loading symbol, you just need to wait after you chose the Map. Just stay calm and wait a little, especially if the game is not on SSD. It's loading.

New WIP Sandbox

Everything is work-in-progress, we going to improve user experience with every update.

Different level presets.

We made a couple of presets to showcase a sandbox level as we see it.
To make it better and more fun for gamers and content makers we decided to include defferent location into one scene that you can controll.

Right now you can switch between different objects collections on-the-go, try different outfits on a special puppet (soon will be for all), try new guns we are working on.

Weapons and Melee collection

We are proud to present not only greately improved weapons and melee mechanics but also whole new world of guns, blades and blunts we are adding.

Climbing Mechanic

Now, when player has fully physical body, you can perform all kind of physics experiments!
You can climb obslacles even without pressing grab button — Just try it yourself!

Tips & Hints for better experience in PhysicsBeta

If you're getting such hand glitch, probably your controllers are out of range. Get them first and then put on your VR helmet.


Check the settings on launch, you can select a different Grip function (stick guns or press grip constantly).


In the Graphics you can set blood effect to be more realistic and make blood puddles effect stay forever — that will increase your CPU calculations, so be carefull. You can turn them off anytime in the Settings during the game.


Well in Baths arena do not respawn player and do not kill bots who fall there. Use Pause Menu to respawn.
