You can get Hytale guns with mods like Hyguns & more
No guns? Mods fix that
When players search for Hytale guns, one question comes up again and again: Does Hytale have guns? The short and clear answer is no, at least not in the base game. However, the longer and more interesting answer involves mods, community creativity, and projects like Hyguns, which bring firearms into the Hytale universe.
This guide explains everything you need to know about guns, including why they are not part of the vanilla game, how guns exist through Hytale mods, and what the Hyguns mod brings to the game.
Does Hytale have guns?
No, Hytale does not have guns in its official, unmodded version. There are no rifles, pistols, shotguns, or modern firearms in vanilla Hytale. This is a deliberate design choice. Hytale’s world, enemies, and progression system are built around a fantasy setting rather than modern or futuristic technology.
However, Hytale is built with modding in mind — so while guns aren’t part of the original experience, they can be added by the community.
Best Hytale guns mods
Hytale’s developers intentionally made the game highly moddable. Almost everything — from items, blocks, and NPCs to behaviors and world systems — can be modified or extended. This modding-first philosophy means that even elements not present in the base game, like guns, are possible through community projects.
You can explore mods on CurseForge and here are the best finds for guns so far:
Note: Because Hytale is still early access, mods like this may contain bugs or evolving features.
Spotlight: Hyguns brings Hytale rifles & more
Hyguns introduces firearms and related mechanics that are otherwise absent in the game:
- Rifle: A long-range firearm you can use to engage enemies from afar.
- Handgun: A sidearm for quicker, close-to-midrange shooting.
- MAC-10: A fast-firing machine-style firearm added in version 1.1.0.
- Ammunition system: Adds bullet items for the Rifle, Handgun, and MAC-10.
- New sounds: Weapon sounds for the Rifle and Handgun help make shooting feel more immersive.
