Gunnies opens free Pre-Season 2, giving out Winter outfits for invites

In Brief:

• Gunnies has opened Pre-Season 2 of its Sweet Veronica Season. The game is free on the Epic Games Store, and @GunniesXP announced the launch on X.
• During the pre-season, players earn Winter outfit pieces by inviting other players. The full outfit takes five invites.
• Ranked Season 2 comes next, and the top 20 finishers get a real NFC card with their name and number on it. The site says no wallet or crypto is needed to take part.

Gunnies has started Pre-Season 2, the free opening stage of its Sweet Veronica Season. The rewards are built around bringing new players into the game.

“Pre-Season 2 is LIVE! 🧁💥” the @GunniesXP account said in a post on X. “The Sweet Veronica Season is here. Time to squish some zombunnies! 🐰”

The post said the game is “100% FREE TO PLAY” and told players to “Bring friends, unlock Winter Outfits ❄️.” It linked to the game’s Epic Games Store page and to a reward rules page at gunnies.io/season-2/status.

Invite rewards

The official Gunnies site lists three referral tiers for the pre-season. One invite earns a beanie and three invites earn a scarf and jacket. Five invites unlock the full Winter outfit.

The site describes the pre-season as “Play free. Invite players.” Players track their progress on the Pre-Season status page.

An earlier version of the site’s Season 2 material listed separate pre-season prizes: an in-game item for the top three players and a piece of the Bakery outfit for everyone who plays. The current page ties Bakery outfit pieces to the ranked weeks.

Ranked season and the NFC card

Ranked play follows the pre-season. The site hasn’t given dates for it yet.

Each ranked week gives players one Bakery outfit piece and a puzzle piece for every week they play. Veronica gives a weekly shout-out to the top three.

The prize at the end of the season is a physical card. “Top 20 get a real NFC card with their name and number,” the site said. Earlier Season 2 material described it as Veronica’s real, numbered card, carrying the winner’s name. It also said the card designs shown so far are drafts made from the game’s 3D models.

Rules on spending and crypto

The studio has put limits on paid content around the season. The site says “Nothing random” is for sale and that “Buying never boosts your score.”

The site also says “No cash prizes” are awarded. Players must be 18 or older.

Hero cards and collectibles live in player wallets on Pentagon Chain, which Gunnies uses for its onchain rewards and collectibles. The site says that part is optional for gameplay and that Season 2 participation requires no cryptocurrency or wallet.

Platforms

Gunnies is a third-person shooter. It’s free on Epic now, and a Steam version is listed as coming soon, with a wishlist open.

Players sign in with a Pentagon account, which the site describes as one login for Gunnies and every Pentagon game.

The Sweet Veronica Season page was last updated Oct. 23, 2026. The site sums up the pre-season in four words: “Play free. Invite players.”
