GunZ shows you a scoreboard after the fact. This shows you the number the moment it lands — per hit, as a running total on whoever you are fighting, and for your team. It runs alongside GunZ without ever touching it: nothing is added to, patched into or changed in the game, and nothing is read out of its memory.
One file. Nothing to unzip, nothing to install.
Every number comes from what the game itself reports. The damage tally is free and always works; the rest is Premium.
The default palette is built around the shotgun: about 13 damage is one pellet, twelve pellets is a full blast, and every 13 points of a hit is a visibly different colour. So the colour of a number tells you roughly how many pellets landed, without reading the figure at all.
Some players are on a reviewed list of confirmed cheaters. When one of them turns up in your match, they stop affecting it — so what they do stops happening on your screen. It runs whether or not you ever pay for anything.
The damage tally is the thing that made this worth using, and it is free forever with no account and no connection. Everything that arranges, animates or extends that number is Premium.
No account, no connection, no expiry
A licence covers one computer and keeps working for 30 days at a time without an internet connection. Changed your hardware, or reinstalled Windows? Move it to another computer yourself.
This matters more than any feature above, so it is said plainly rather than buried.
Nothing is written to the game, injected into it, or read out of its memory, and the game is never sent anything. It is a separate program that runs beside GunZ and leaves it completely alone. That said, no one but the people running your server can tell you what their rules are — if you are unsure, ask them first.
Not every time. Your licence is checked online when a connection is there and keeps working for 30 days at a time without one. If you play even once a month you will never notice it happening.
That is expected. A licence is tied to the machine you activated it on, and the signals that identify a machine are part of the Windows installation — reinstalling produces a computer we no longer recognise. Use Reset Device to free the old one, then enter your key again here. Changing a disk, a graphics card or even a motherboard does not need a reset.
A licence covers one computer at a time. You can move it between machines yourself on the Reset Device page, up to three times a month. If you genuinely need two at once, ask — multi-seat licences exist.
The damage tally and the cheater blocker keep working. They are free and they do not stop.
It was built and tested against one particular server, and others may behave differently. Try the free tier first — if the damage tally works, the rest will.
