Warhammer Boltgun 2 Fleshmetal Puzzle Map Level Design [2026 Update]

As originally reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, developer Auroch Digital has revealed details regarding an ambitious level design in its upcoming retro first-person shooter, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2. Principal designer Matt Bone explained that the map, officially titled Vicious Circles, functions as a massive, rotatable mechanical puzzle crafted from fleshmetal and biomechanical tentacles. Players controlling either a Space Marine or a Sister of Battle must physically navigate and manually manipulate the rotating environment to unlock progression pathways while battling waves of relentless hostile forces. Designing this intricate moving environment created severe technical hurdles for the engineering team due to continuous geometric shifts and real-time dynamic collision calculations. Similar to how strategic innovations were evaluated in our , Boltgun 2 pushes structural environmental interactivity to new heights within the iconic franchise. Auroch Digital aims to seamlessly merge fast-paced boomer shooter movement with complex spatial puzzle mechanics, challenging traditional arena shooter level design conventions ahead of the game's official release next week.
