Hello, Dave from Runner Duck here! I wanted to complete our series of posts about the enemy factions you’ll face in Badlands Crew with a look at ‘The Gun Nutz’…

To the South East of the starting area of Home Plateau lies the red eroded desert of the Lower Badlands, where you’ll run into The Gun Nutz patrolling its valleys and canyons.

The Gun Nutz are descendants of a community of preppers who sprung into action as society crumbled,
gleefully raiding army equipment storage sites, claiming the vast majority of conventional firearms and military vehicles in the land.

Their commander in chief is the ruthless disciplinarian, Major Krank; as brutal to his own subordinates as he is to his enemies. Rumours abound that during his raids on military storage sites, he stumbled upon the last viable nuclear warhead in existence, which he wields to cow any potential challengers into submission.

As for vehicles, The Gun Nutz bring to bear a range of military rides including jeeps, hummers, MRAPs, pickups and half tracks. With their ready-made fleet of piercing and blast damage resistant war machines, it’s wise to prepare carefully before confronting their patrols! Perhaps try ‘turning up the heat’ on them ;).

The Gun Nutz’ armoury comprises a range of lethal conventional weapons, including machine guns, rifles, shotguns and grenade launchers. They have guns that are effective from close to long range, so keep those heads on a swivel!

Time for me to get back to the finishing touches on the project; it's been a long road, but now we’re just one week from release!
