Off The Grid (OFFGRID): Breaking the Boundaries of Tradition and Web3 in a Cyberpunk Battle Royale
1. Project Introduction
Off The Grid (abbreviated as OTG) is a third-person cyberpunk battle royale game developed by Gunzilla Games. It is regarded as the flagship product with the most potential for 'AAA title' in the current Web3 gaming field.
- Core Positioning: OTG aims to eliminate the barriers for Web2 players entering blockchain games. It runs on the GUNZ blockchain (a customized subnet based on Avalanche), which is specifically designed for gaming, featuring high throughput and extremely low gas fees.
- Game Features:
- Battle Royale 2.0: The game not only includes traditional PvP (Player vs Player) but also integrates PvE (Player vs Environment) narrative tasks, supporting 150 players to compete together in a single match.
- Complete Asset Ownership: Weapons, skins, and equipment within the game are all NFTs, fully owned by players and freely tradable on the blockchain.
- Seamless Interaction: For average players, complex wallet and on-chain interactions are hidden in the background, providing an experience that is no different from (Apex Legends) or (Call of Duty).
- Launch Platform: This is one of the first Web3 games simultaneously launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Epic Games Store), targeting the mainstream market.
2. Financing Situation
The developers behind the project, Gunzilla Games, have performed extremely strongly in the capital markets, raising over $100 million, with sufficient funds to support the high costs of AAA game development.
- Recent Round: In 2024, completed $30 million in financing.
- Early Financing: Previously completed approximately $46 million in financing and several subsequent rounds of strategic financing.
3. Investment Institutions
Off The Grid's investment lineup brings together top venture capital from the cryptocurrency field, traditional gaming capital, and public chain funds:
- Leading Investors: CoinFund, Blizzard Fund of Avalanche.
- Notable Investors:
- Republic Capital
- Griffin Gaming Partners (one of the largest gaming venture capitals globally)
- Animoca Brands (a giant in the blockchain gaming sector)
- Jump Crypto
- Morningstar Ventures
- Delphi Digital
This lineup shows strong optimism from the capital markets regarding its 'Web3 Mass Adoption' narrative.
4. Project Background
The development team of OTG, Gunzilla Games, is a star team in the industry, headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, with offices in Los Angeles and Kyiv.
- Key Figures:

- CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Vlad Korolev and CEO Vladyslav Klymenko have extensive experience in gaming and technology.
5. Can you interact for airdrops?
Yes, and it is currently in the 'open' incentive phase.
Off The Grid's core token is $GUN, which serves as both the in-game currency and the gas token for the GUNZ chain. The project is currently transitioning from testnet to mainnet and is in the early experience phase, with the interaction strategy as follows:
Interaction Strategy (Play-to-Airdrop):
1. Download and play (core weight):
- Go to Epic Games Store (PC) or console store to download the game (early access version).
- Actually enter the game for battles. Based on past activities, game duration, number of kills, wins, and completing in-game tasks (Hex extraction tasks) are key indicators for obtaining token airdrops.
2. GUNZ Wallet Interaction:
- Register for a GUNZ wallet through official channels and bind it to your game account.
- Conduct NFT item trading tests (buying and selling weapon skins, etc.) on the official testnet or marketplace.
3. Become a Validator (high threshold):
- GUNZ blockchain is recruiting validation nodes, but this usually requires a high technical and financial threshold, suitable for professional institutions or large holders.
4. Social and Early Participant Activities:
- Follow the official Twitter and Discord, participate in mini-games or web activities like 'TechnoCore,' which are usually channels for early points acquisition.
Summary: Off The Grid is not a simple web project that relies on 'clicking' for rewards; it requires you to genuinely play the game. Given its financing scale and the ability to penetrate the console market, the expected value of the $GUN token is relatively high, making it a focus for gamers and airdrop hunters willing to invest time.
