Genshin Impact: How to Use the Gun Traveler Outside Snezhnaya (7.0 Bug)

The Traveler’s third-person shooter form is meant to stay locked inside Snezhnaya’s Shadow Realm, where guns, grenades, and simulated elemental skills replace the normal kit. A positioning glitch in Genshin Impact 7.0 breaks that boundary. By clipping through a cave wall in Flamefeather Valley, you can carry the firearm form into Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and even domains and weekly bosses.

Quick answer: Teleport to the Flamefeather Valley waypoint, clip through the cave wall using Geo Traveler’s construct, glide to one of two marked transformation spots to trigger the gun form, then open the map and teleport to any non-Snezhnaya region. The form persists everywhere until you log out.

This is unintended behavior and carries a high chance of being patched. It also relies on out-of-bounds movement, so treat it as temporary.

What you need before starting

A few requirements have to be in place, otherwise the clip and the transformation will not work.

Requirement	Why it matters
Waypoints unlocked in Flamefeather Valley	You need the western Snezhnaya waypoint to spawn at the correct cave entrance.
Geo Traveler	The Geo construct is the platform you jump on to clip through the wall.
TPS mode unlocked	The gun form comes from completing the Gunfire in the Silent Lands quest, part of the Everwinter Without Mercy Archon Quest.

How to clip out and trigger the gun form

Open the map and teleport to the Flamefeather Valley waypoint on the left side of the Snezhnaya map. As soon as you spawn, turn around and move back toward the walls inside the cave system.

Climb the first rocky outcrop inside the cave. It leads up to a ruined train bogie and a small pool of water at the top. On the right side of that ledge you will see a small tree.

Wedge yourself into the gap between the wall and the tree. Switch to Geo Traveler and cast the elemental skill so the construct attaches to the wall, positioning the Traveler inside the skill.

Jump onto the top of the Geo construct. The push should force the Traveler through the wall and outside the normal play area.

Before you drop through, pin two specific spots on the map. These marks guide you toward the transformation locations once you are out of bounds and gliding over open space.

Clip through the wall and glide down into the large gap below. Keep an eye on the mini-map and follow the pinned marks. Reaching one of these marked points flips the Traveler into the firearm form.

Once the Traveler is holding the gun, open the map and teleport to any location that is not in Snezhnaya. The firearm form stays active in the open world, so you can use it against enemies in Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, weekly bosses, and domains.

You know it worked when the Traveler keeps the shooter HUD and controls after teleporting away from Snezhnaya, and enemies elsewhere in Teyvat can be hit with gunfire and grenades.

How to restock ammo

The gun form runs on ammo, and firing across the open world drains it. To refill, teleport back to Snezhnaya and enter any Shadow Realm access point in the open world. Start the activity, grab the ammo waiting inside, then abandon the challenge. The collected ammo carries over, so you can keep shooting elsewhere until the count runs dry.

How to exit the gun form

Because the form is not supposed to exist outside Snezhnaya, there is no normal button to cancel it. Three actions reset the Traveler back to your standard team.

Method	Result
Log out and log back in	Restores your open-world team on reload.
Enter and exit the Imaginarium Theater	Clears the firearm form.
Teleport to the Space Lifeform Capture Station on the Frost Moon map	The character floats at that waypoint and the form ends.

Keep in mind that the whole setup hinges on wall-clipping and out-of-bounds movement, both of which HoYoverse tends to fix quickly. If the transformation stops triggering after an update, the exploit has most likely been closed off, and there is no in-bounds substitute that keeps the gun form running outside Snezhnaya.
