Gunpoint offers to transform into the image of a hired spy. The proposals from his clients do not differ in any special features or details, but over and over again the level of risk becomes higher. The idea is to enter a protected area to replace, steal or falsify data. Time after time, the number of opponents in locations will increase, which is why you will have to change tactics. Luckily, the scale, level of detail, and other aspects will change, and you can use this to your advantage.

Of particular importance in achieving success when passing Gunpoint is a special gadget called Crosslink. The principle of operation is simple – you need to point the device at a certain sector of space, and the character will be able to understand how the security systems work. This applies to laser beams protecting passages, camera viewing angles, the functionality of electronic locks and other aspects. In addition, in some situations, using the device, you can hack devices or individual mechanisms, making it easier to achieve the final goal. There is also a grappling hook familiar to spies, with the help of which the main character can literally fly off the roof or climb to a height of 4 floors in a few seconds.

It is absolutely not necessary to act according to a template, trying to simply bypass the system. At some points, you can turn your enemies' belongings against them. For example, turn on the alarm to gather guards in one room so that you can calmly take away valuable files. Or reconfigure the lasers so that they react to contact with enemies, and they, upon hearing the alert, open fire on their own. One way or another, over more than 20 missions you can play out many circumstances where victory will be very spectacular.
