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.
Oh and did I mention you also get DOUBLE XP this week!?
