In Necromunda: Hired Gun, events unfold in the distant and not very bright future. The plot is tied to the planet Necromunda. And life on it cannot be called pleasant. It is somewhat reminiscent of a hive. A large number of people live here. The planet is in great decline due to the fact that for many years resources have been pumped out of it and the lands have been tormented with garbage. Now everything here is killed - the ecology is in a deplorable state, instead of seas and rivers there is only a hot desert. And everything around is built up with skyscrapers that reach the sky and cut the dirty clouds with their tops. People live here who work in slave conditions. Citizens are divided into two subgroups:
- Spire - only elite members of society live here, who cool off and run everything on the planet, and also do not disdain slavery and corruption;
- Underhive - the lowest level of territories, which is inhabited by mutants, bandits, mercenaries and thugs. They live in hellish conditions and work in dirty enterprises.
Since the upper levels rule everything - traders and street gangs, no one will dare to touch them. But there is a daredevil who killed one of the merchants. The guild did not like this, and they set a reward for the one who brings the head of the disobedient fool. The main character will be one of the mercenaries who goes in search of the killer. You will need to plunge into the dirt and destruction, forget about honor and justice. There will be various difficulties along the way - other competitors, evil mutant dogs, thugs. The protagonist can use firearms or melee skills, jump and run along walls, fly on a grappling hook. He is also not an ordinary person - the character has implants that have improved his physical qualities and skills.
