Driftless North Consulting
Best In Class Gunplay
Having worked on 9 Call of Duty titles, I’ve built weapons for every iteration of the COD engine and for every leading studio. As I developed this skill more at Riot and beyond, I’ve created four foundational gunplay systems for industry-leading studios. It’s a closely held secret how to get weapons that rival the feel of Call of Duty, I’ve helped studios like Riot, Zenimax, and Krafton get there in just a month. Camera recoil, Aim Assist, Weapon Balance, and more; we can help your project unlock best-in-class gunplay.
Design Meets Real World Experience
My background in design is complemented by my service in the Navy, where I was certified as a Secondary Reaction Force member. This experience gave me not only firsthand familiarity with how weapon systems translate to in-hand feel, but also a deep understanding of real-world weapons, military tactics, and a familiarity few weapon designers can claim.
