Guts & Blackpowder

Guts & Blackpowder is a cooperative PvE survival shooter on Roblox developed by the Guts & Blackpowder group, launched in January 2023. Set during an alternate-history Napoleonic Wars where an undead plague called the Blight has swept Europe, squads of up to 20 players armed with historically accurate flintlock muskets and melee weapons must hold out against waves of zombies across real historical locations. With 491 million visits, a 94.2% approval rating, and 4,000-10,000 concurrent players, it is one of Roblox's most acclaimed cooperative games. The Fandom wiki at guts-blackpowder.fandom.com has 9,661 pages - one of the largest game wikis on the platform.

Players choose from over a dozen historically named European and American factions, each with authentic regiment uniforms and voice actors, then cooperate across three map types:

• ⚔️ Objective maps - 9 public campaign maps with sequential goals like escorting diplomats, building bridges, and escaping fortresses at real Napoleonic battle sites
• ⚔️ Endless maps - infinite zombie wave survival until the squad is wiped out
• ⚔️ Holdout maps - defend a fixed position through all incoming waves
• 💎 VIP-exclusive maps - 16 additional maps including PvP variants and siege modes accessible via private server
• ⏳ Halloween seasonal maps - Sleepy Hollow, Road to Sleepy Hollow, and Transylvania during October events
• 💎 Regiment Pack gamepasses - 12 packs each unlocking 3 historically named elite regiment variants

Francs are the in-game currency earned through gameplay and spent in the Shop. The weapon roster spans muskets, pistols, swords, carbines, grenades, a Hand Mortar, and the exotic Air Rifle at 10,000 Francs - based on the real-world Girandoni air rifle. Classes include Infantry, Officer, Musician, Sapper, Surgeon, and the unlockable Chaplain class earned through the Soldier's Grace achievement badge.

The badge system is one of Roblox's deepest - compound achievement badges like Soldats de ma Vieille Garde (requiring a 10 KDR, 51 saves, 35 endless waves, 30 campaigns, and 4 specific badges) and narrative badges for map-specific no-death completions give veteran players years of goals to pursue.
