Gun Mayhem 2 — Explosive Platform Shooter Fun
If you love chaotic, 2D arena-style shooters, Gun Mayhem 2 delivers — and then some. This fast-paced, action-packed platformer puts you and up to three friends (or clever computer rivals) into chaotic arenas where only one thing matters: send your rivals flying off the stage before they do the same to you.
What is Gun Mayhem 2?
Gun Mayhem 2 is a free browser-based platform shooter where every fight is a blast. Developed by Kevin Gu and published by Armor Games, the game launched in August 2012 and quickly became a cult favorite thanks to its simple premise, chaotic multiplayer, and wide arsenal of weapons. Whether you’re playing solo in campaign mode or battling four-player mayhem on one keyboard — Gun Mayhem 2 gives you flexible modes and nonstop action.
How it works
- Main Objective: Blast your opponents off the platforms and make sure they don’t return. Each fall means a life lost; the last player standing wins.
- Movement & Combat: Run, jump — even double-jump — dodge, shoot, and throw explosives to control the fight. Staying mobile and aware of your surroundings is key.
- Weapons & Explosives: Firearms, grenades, TNT and other explosive tools keep matches intense. Grab weapon crates and power-ups that drop during a match to shift the momentum in your favor.
Game Modes & Replay Value
- Campaign Mode: A series of challenging missions (16 total) that will test your reflexes and skill. Great for solo players or co-op fun.
- Custom Games: Set up your own match parameters — players, weapons, rules — and go wild. Up to 4 players can play on the same computer for ultimate local multiplayer chaos.
- Challenge Mode: Special scenarios and skill-based tasks that reward you with stars, unlocking new weapons, perks and cosmetic options.
Because each arena, weapon drop, and player decision changes the match entirely, no two battles in Gun Mayhem 2 ever feel the same — giving the game strong replay value whether you’re spending five minutes or a whole evening playing.
Customize Your Fight
Before you jump in, you can customize your character’s look — choose skin colors, outfits, and even perks that enhance gameplay (like extra jump, more resistance to knockback, or faster movement). Weapons, perks, and customization make sure every fight can feel unique. Want to specialize in explosives? Or prefer precise shooting and maneuvering? Gun Mayhem 2 lets you pick a style that fits you.
