Shatterland News

[p]Hey Survivors,[/p][p]First off, I want to apologize for the delay in getting this patch out to you. We had to tackle a couple of tricky issues, but now it’s all fixed up![/p][hr][/hr][h2]🛠️ What’s Fixed[/h2]

• [p]Leaning Right with Rifles: We fixed the issue where you couldn’t shoot properly when leaning to the right. Now when you lean and aim, everything works as intended.[/p]
• [p]Shield Recharge: We also identified and fixed a problem where shields weren’t recharging correctly. Now shields will regenerate as they should, giving you the proper protection.[/p]
• [p]Bag Collision: We’ve corrected the collision with the bag when it drops at night or during the day, so it’s now visible as intended at all times.[/p]

[hr][/hr][p]Thank you for your patience, and we hope this hotfix makes your gameplay smoother.[/p][p][/p][p]See you in the wasteland,
Shatterland Dev[/p]

[p][/p][p]Hey Survivors,[/p][p]Another big update is live! This patch brings a brand-new Shield System, weapon variation mechanics, armor reworks, and tons of fixes and visual upgrades.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]🛡️ New Shield System (Inspired by Borderlands)[/h2][p]A brand-new Shield mechanic has been added to Shatterland![/p]

• [p]How it works:
  Your armor now includes a shield layer that protects your health.[/p]
  • [p]The shield absorbs incoming damage first.[/p]
  • [p]Once your shield breaks, your health will start going down.[/p]
  • [p]After avoiding damage for a few seconds, your shield will automatically regenerate.[/p]
• [p]Example:[/p]
  • [p]A shield with 700 capacity can absorb 700 damage before breaking.[/p]
  • [p]You can find or craft different shields with varying power levels, regeneration speed, and durability.[/p]
• [p]Why it matters:[/p]
  • [p]It adds a new layer of strategy and survivability.[/p]
  • [p]Combat feels more dynamic — you can take risks, retreat to recover, and plan your fights better.[/p]
  • [p]Just like in Borderlands, better gear means better protection![/p]

[p]This is just the first version of the system more shield variations and effects will come in future updates.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]🔫 Weapon Variations[/h2][p]Weapons now have randomized damage, making every weapon unique.[/p]

• [p]Example: a normal AK-47 can deal between 17–21 damage, depending on the roll.[/p]
• [p]This means looting and exploring will always give you new surprises — you might just find that perfect high-roll weapon![/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]🛡️ Armor & Clothing Rework[/h2][p]Armor and clothing now have clearer progression and protection values:[/p]

• [p]All armor protection reduced by 50% for better combat balance.[/p]
• [p]🦺 Bulletproof Vest (5-Slot) – Level 5 required, 5% damage protection.[/p]
• [p]🦺 Bulletproof Vest (10-Slot) – Level 10 required, 15% damage protection.[/p]
• [p]👕 Cloth Shirt (5-Slot & 10-Slot) – Adds more inventory space.[/p]
• [p]🎒 Hiking Backpack – Requires Level 10 to equip.[/p]

• [p]Added new paint colors for the truck and beetle vehicles.[/p]
• [p]Added two new frog decorations, including the three-eyed frog 🐸.[/p]
