Gameplanet reader's winning weapon design features in latest Metro: Last Light DLC
Today we have a remarkable story to share with you. Some of you will recall that Gameplanet recently partnered with the teams behind Metro: Last Light to give away a gaming PC.
We challenged you all to come up with a design for a new weapon that could be cobbled together from items found in the post-apocalyptic Moscow metro system. Entries were to be judged on their relevance to the world of Metro: Last Light, their practicality, and their innovation, or humour.
There were many exceptional designs, but there could be only one winner: the 'Multi-Barreled Bicycle Shotgun' by Alexandre "Hypron" Bannwrath.
"A great design that looks far too feasible for our liking, Hypron's Bicycle Shotgun is simple yet gloriously demented," we wrote as we declared Alexandre the winner. "It fits the design brief perfectly, and it will be scandalous if 4A Games doesn't immediately release it as free DLC for the game."
What we haven't been able to share with you until now is that the team behind Metro: Last Light were as impressed with Alexandre's detailed design as we were, and they immediately reached out to see if they couldn't make our lighthearted challenge a reality.
We're very pleased to welcome 4A Games to Gameplanet, and in this special guest feature to recount how a Victoria University student's submission went from fan-made design to in-game reality.
4A are awsome
