Off the Grid Adds Bored Ape Yacht Club Avatars

Off the Grid, blockchain-based battle royale developed by Gunzilla Games, has introduced Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)–themed content as part of a new in-game update. The content includes character skins, weapons, and emotes styled after the popular Ethereum NFT collection released during a limited-time “Ape-ril” event and is available to players subscribed to the game’s Pro tier.

The release follows the launch of the Gunzilla Games’ $GUN token and the rollout of its GUNZ blockchain network. The new BAYC-themed update includes two playable avatar skins, two weapons, and two character emotes referencing the Bored Ape aesthetic and tone. The content is part of a premium package for Pro subscribers and became available on Wednesday Gunzilla Games released a limited-time cosmetic called the “Ape-fool Mask” on April 1 and players could unlock it by participating in a single match that day. The item is no longer available, which may make it rare among the game’s cosmetic offerings.

The BAYC-themed content arrives shortly after the launch of GUNZ, a new Avalanche-based blockchain developed by Gunzilla Games to support Off the Grid and future projects. The network’s native token, $GUN, was also introduced via a token generation event earlier this week. Since its launch, $GUN has declined more than 50% in value from its initial peak and is currently trading at approximately $0.043.

Although its circulating market capitalization is modest at around $26 million, the token’s fully diluted valuation—based on total supply—places it above other web3 gaming tokens such as ApeCoin and PRIME. At present, GUN is not yet functional within Off the Grid, and the game still operates without blockchain-integrated gameplay. Gunzilla’s web3 lead, Theodore Agranat, stated that migrating the game to the GUNZ mainnet remains a “main priority,” but no timeline has been provided.
