In a world where everyone else reaches for the trigger, you reach for the wrench. Developer Quest Craft and publisher PlayWay S.A. have officially launched the playable demo for Wasteland Gunsmith Simulator on PC via Steam — and it’s taking centre stage right now during Steam Next Fest.
The Most Essential Survivor in the Ruins
Most post-apocalyptic games hand you a gun and tell you to fight. This one hands you a workbench and tells you to build it. As the wasteland’s wandering gunsmith, you’re not a soldier — you’re the lifeline that keeps everyone else alive. Operating out of a lovingly converted camper van, you travel the broken roads, trading with faction mercenaries, scrappy local gangs, and lone wanderers who all share one desperate need: reliable weapons.
From Rust to Ready — The Crafting Heart of the Game
Every weapon that crosses your bench has a story — and your job is to give it a second life:
- Strip & Restore — Clean away decades of rust, replace worn parts, and breathe new life into relics pulled from the dust
- Modular Assembly — Mix and match scavenged components to alter performance, accuracy, and value. No two weapons need ever be the same
- Make It Yours — Custom finishes, unique paint jobs, and personal touches turn functional tools into prized heirlooms
- Grow Your Workshop — Your van evolves with you. Add better tools, expand storage, and turn your mobile home into the finest forge in the wasteland
More Than Repairs — Reputation Is Your Best Defence
Business is about more than just turning a profit. Every customer brings their own story, needs, and negotiating style:
- Build Trust — Fair prices and fine work turn one-time clients into loyal regulars
- Faction Contracts — Take on special jobs from competing groups. Your choices ripple through the wasteland
- Roam the Ruins — Scavenge rare materials from abandoned outposts, trade hubs, and hidden camps across the map
- Cosy, Not Combat — There are no gunfights here. This is a calm, rewarding experience focused on craftsmanship, connection, and pride in a job well done

A Different Kind of Post-Apocalypse
Wasteland Gunsmith Simulator doesn’t ask you to save the world — just to keep it running. It’s a gentle, absorbing twist on the genre: where others see ruins, you see materials; where others see enemies, you see customers; and where others see the end, you see the chance to build something new.
The wasteland needs you. Your van is waiting. Let’s get to work.
