Shotgun Farmers is a multiplayer first-person shooter set in a colorful farmyard, where players take the role of armed farmers in competitive matches or cooperative survival.
Reloading is replaced by weapon plants: shots fired into the ground seed crops that grow into guns. Players can harvest them sooner for less ammunition or wait for a larger supply, while choosing from vegetable-themed weapons, grenades, and melee attacks.
Modes include team and free-for-all battles, objectives such as stealing a pig or defending a scarecrow, and a Horde mode against waves of infected farmers and animals. Match XP and challenges contribute to unlockable cosmetic progression.
Players often enjoy the inventive idea of planting missed shots to grow weapons, along with the goofy farm-themed arsenal and unusual objective modes. Many describe it as a relaxed, chaotic shooter that is especially fun with friends, and some also praise Horde mode as a cooperative alternative. A recurring drawback is the scarcity of active players, which often leaves matches populated by bots; some players also find the experience repetitive or progression slow.
Shotgun Farmers is the multiplayer shooter where missed shots grow guns. Fire your bullets into the ground to plant your ammo. Reloading isn’t an option, so grab one of the deadly crops planted by the bullets of you and your enemies.
Shot at by a sniper? Well they just planted you your very own sniper gun to fire back with! Harvest weapon plants quickly for more ammo or let them grow for a larger clip.
Fight with different vegetable weapons, grenades, and melee weapons, like the Carrocket Launcher and the Sniperagus Rifle.
Battle enemy farmers in different game modes that change the way you play. Chase a chicken around the map in Chicken Run, steal the enemy’s prized pig in Capture The Pig, defend the scarecrow in King of the Crow, and more!
Battle zombies in Horde Mode where you take on waves of infected farmers and animals. Can you survive to the end and take on the final boss?
