Squads, Voice Chat, Lemonade, & Xbox One Crossplay Update

A super mega gigantic update has just arrived in Shotgun Farmers! Squads, Voice Chat, The Lemonade, Xbox One Crossplay, and more!


[h2]๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿ‹ New Weapon: The Lemonade ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿ‹[/h2]
A new crop drop shipment is in, and itโ€™s pretty sour! The Lemonade explodes on impact and temporarily blinds players by squirting lemon juice in their eyes! You can even use it to confuse zombies!




[h2]๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ”Š New Feature: Voice Chat & Squads ๐Ÿ”Š๐ŸŽค[/h2]
Squad up with your farmer friends! Invite your Steam friends to join you on the farm or take on zombie hordes! Oh and did I mention we now support voice chat with squad members too! You can toggle voice chat and push to talk settings in the Options menu.




[h2]๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŽฎ New Platform: Xbox One with Cross-play ๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŽฎ[/h2]
At long last, our first ever console version is here! Shotgun Farmers is officially out on Xbox One, with full cross-play! Expect to see Xbox players in your lobbies soon! If youโ€™re not a fan of cross-play, you can turn it off in your options menu to avoid cross-play matches.



Xbox players also get access to the exclusive new skin, XB-001! This robot farmer has traveled from the future to warn the world about a great danger.


[h2]๐ŸŽฉ๐Ÿ‘” New Costume: The Fancy Farmer ๐Ÿ‘”๐ŸŽฉ[/h2]



You didnโ€™t think Xbox would be the only ones to get a special skin did you! Say hello to the Fancy Farmer, an exclusive skin unlockable only by Steam players. Pair it with the new Fancy Top Hat!


[h2]๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ New Emote: The Fancy Bow ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ’ƒ[/h2]




Starting this weekend we will have more people online in Shotgun Farmers then every before! Hope to see you there!

Please note that due to some shader issues, the Mac and Linux updates are a little behind. We hope to have them to you very soon! Just trying to figure out what went wrong.

P.S. The Hay-k 47 is still in development but we hope to release it soon!

Full changelog is over on Discord!

๐Ÿ”๐ŸŽˆ Crop Drop Update ๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿ”

[h2]๐ŸŽˆ New Feature: The Crop Drop ๐ŸŽˆ[/h2]
Up in the air! Itโ€™s a bird! Itโ€™s a plane! No wait, thatโ€™s just a Crop Drop.



Keep an eye on the skies for new supply drops filled with randomized guns, grenades, and even special weapons you wonโ€™t find anywhere else! Crop Drops will spawn around the map every 2 minutes during a match and every 4 minutes during Horde Mode.

[h2]๐ŸŒฝ๐ŸŒฝ New Weapon: The Double Cob ๐ŸŒฝ๐ŸŒฝ[/h2]
We canโ€™t call this game โ€˜Shotgun Farmersโ€™ without having a double barrel shotgun! Say hello to The Double Cob:



Fire twice in quick succession without having to pump. Reload your Double Cob with ANY, thatโ€™s right, ANY normal Shotgun plant. Only caveat though, it can only grow regular Shotgun plants!

Youโ€™ll only find the Double Cob in some Crop Drops during the match. Look out for that ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŽˆ!

[h2]๐Ÿ’Ž Diamond Farmer Outfit ๐Ÿ’Ž[/h2]



Reach Prestige Rank 3 to unlock the full diamond body!

[h2]๐Ÿป z0mbear Head ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™‚๏ธ[/h2]

Anniversary Event!

Happy Anniversary Farmers!


It has been 1 whole year since Shotgun Farmers released on Steam, and THREE whole years since we release in Early Access! That's crazy!




To celebrate, the Anniversary Shovel can be unlocked by playing matches during the event, ending on June 20th. You'll also find delicious slices of cake hidden around the map that give 200XP to whoever finds it first.

[h2]Oh and did I mention you also get DOUBLE XP this week!?[/h2]

Thank you so much for supporting Shotgun Farmers for all these years and being the absolute best community there is. We have so much more to come, with a new update (Double barrel anyone?) coming soon and console versions in development. Can't wait to share it with you!
