About
The year is 2043. Five years ago, asteroid Sigma-38 collided with the Moon, carving a 500km-wide band of devastation across Earth. This is the Sacrifice Zone, where lunar meteorites still rain down, bringing fresh deposits of Sigma—a volatile element with world-altering potential.
The Valdacha Corporation walled off the sector to halt the initial looting chaos and has now authorized the first sanctioned Sigma Recovery Operation.
Your mission: Deploy in a 4-person squad, secure the Sigma, and get out. But you aren't the only squad looking for a payout. The competition is armed, the environment is hostile, and the true power of Sigma remains unknown.
A 4v4 objective-based FPS built around strategy, coordination, and risk management. In the flagship mode, Stockpile, your squad must secure and deposit 300 grav-kilos of Sigma before the enemy.
Scavenge the Craters: Wait for lunar meteorites to impact the Zone. Rush the craters, secure the fresh Sigma, and transport it to your Grav-Sync. But watch your timing—get too close to an impact, and you're dead.
Raid the Rival: Feeling aggressive? Assault the enemy base, steal Sigma directly from their Grav-Sync, and run it back to yours.
Sigma isn't just the score—it's the source of your power.
Dynamic Progression: Depositing Sigma empowers your Operator's abilities during the match. The more your team secures, the stronger you become.
The Blackout Risk: If the enemy steals your stockpile and it hits zero, your abilities deactivate immediately. Recover Sigma to bring your systems back online.
Marked For Death: Carry too much Sigma and you're marked on the enemy's map with glowing footprints trailing behind you. Bank often to stay hidden, or go for the big score and become everyone's priority target?
Choose and evolve your Operator to fit your playstyle or your squad's needs.
Operator Progression: Unlock Operator perks that reflect your growing mastery and reinforce specific roles—mobility, recon, defense, or disruption.
Evolving Abilities: Deploy unique Sigma skills that upgrade in real-time as your squad secures deposits during a match.
Flexible Roles: Adapt to the team composition - switch Operators during respawns to counter enemy tactics.
Customize your Operator: Every match earns experience for your Operator, unlocking permanent access to powerful Traits and specialized Perks.
Fine-Tune Your Stats with Traits: Build your core capabilities by selecting Traits that permanently boost Health, Movement Speed, Stamina, or Jump Height.
Forge a Unique Playstyle with Perks: Choose from random Perk draws to gain game-changing bonuses, such as faster reloads while carrying Sigma or increased damage when raiding enemy grav-syncs.
Shifting Objectives: Grav-Sync deposit points relocate throughout the match, forcing constant adaptation in routing and defense.
Unlimited Respawns: The fight doesn't end until the contract is filled. Respawn on a short timer and swap Operators mid-match to counter enemy tactics.
Unpredictable Storms: Meteor strikes deposit fresh Sigma at random locations, creating high-intensity hotspots.
✓ Objective-Driven Intensity – Kills help, but securing Sigma wins. Routing, timing, and positioning determine victory.
✓ Emergent Combat – Rotating spawns, shifting objectives, and unpredictable storms reshape each match in real time.
✓ Strategic Depth – A near-future arsenal where gun skill meets strategic coordination.

Every match feels like an experiment with an unpredictable outcome. I can't say it's a bad thing, but sometimes it can really get on my nerves
Even a successful firefight brings no relief here, because the consequences are only just beginning...
You can only play this game with a cigarette in your mouth, because the tension never lets up during matches

Downloaded this game since it looked decent. Wanted to try it out. Got in and tried getting into a match. Matchmaking failed several times (it times out after searching for 5 minutes). I went onto SteamDB and found out this game has only had 255 concurrent players once and it routinely stays in the single digit population. I found out I was the only player on the game at the time and there was a total peak concurrent of 5 players in the previous 24 hours. Went to the discord and it's a ghost town. Best of luck to the devs, and I realize this is early access, but this game looks DOA imo. Will try again if it ever shows signs of life.
Скачать- пару минут, завести аккаунт- минута, найти первую игру 10 минут, или больше. [spoiler] Удалить- 1 секунда. [/spoiler] Рекомендую последнее.
playing for 10 minutes, but I'm afraid of 20. Balance
You can easily get by here without spending any money. I hope the developers don’t start pushing players to think, “It’s time to buy a skin go ahead, buy it.”
Given that the game has a very positive rating of 110 and 767 mostly positive reviews, is the game already dead or what? Angesichts der sehr positiven Bewertung von 110 Punkten und 767 überwiegend positiven Rezensionen Ist das Spiel etwa schon tot?
After work, you can lose yourself in this game for a couple of hours. The sessions just fly by one after another
Despite the dark atmosphere and plenty of special effects, enemy visibility in SHRAPNEL is excellent. The Operators' silhouettes stand out clearly against the backdrop of the ruined city. No deaths from “invisible” enemies lurking in the bushes—just fair duels based on reflexes and accuracy
