Share your weirdest creation in the comments below—especially if it involves chicken-shotguns. Stay looting, stay modding.
If you have ever killed General Grell and thought, "I wish my shotgun fired chickens" or "This desert could use a ghost town with a secret boss," then GUTS is your new best friend. Here is everything you need to know to stop being an adventurer and start being a creator. Released by Runic Games alongside the game, GUTS is the professional tool the developers used to build the game world. It isn't a watered-down "mod kit"; it is the engine under the hood.
You don't need to build a house from scratch. Want a barrel? Drag it in. Want that specific bridge from Act II? Drag it in. GUTS has a massive browser of every asset in the game. Your job is level design and arrangement, not asset creation (unless you want to).
Specifically, the official , codenamed GUTS .
Want a door to open only after you kill three specific skeletons? Want a boss to laugh at you when you enter the room? GUTS uses a node-based visual scripting system. You connect "Event" boxes (OnEnter) to "Action" boxes (Spawn Monster) to "Condition" boxes (If Inventory has Key). It feels like building with digital Lego bricks.
If you love the game, stop playing it.
When Torchlight II launched in 2012, it was heralded as the true successor to Diablo II . The randomized loot, breakneck pacing, and vibrant art style gave us hundreds of hours of gameplay. But a decade later, what keeps the embers burning in the small, dedicated town of Estheria? The mods.
