Shotgun Farmers News

I simply cannot believe it's already been 1 year since Shotgun Farmers came out on Early Access. I'd like to give my sincerest thanks to each and every one of you that has supported the game so far, helped us find bugs, helped come up with funny new ideas, and helped to share the game with the world.

If you play this week you'll be able to unlock the exclusive Anniversary badge, hat, and shovel skin! You won't be able to unlock them after June 10th.

We're not done yet! There's still plenty more content coming to Shotgun Farmers. Remember that you can help us decide on new things over at the Shotgun Farmers Discord

Thank you for making this game and this community great. See you on the farm!

Don't forget you can join the community on the Shotgun Farmers Discord
