As a bug free game we needed a section like that.

After a player dies it has a chance to spawn a crate and potentially give up to 3 weapons.
Some times if the mode is 1 weapon and the game creates a weapon box without the player picking up weapons from crates it feels like a scam.

Thankfully very few players use them and if someone decides to spam them you have no other solution besides kicking him when the round end.
If it exceeds the normal limits you potentially block or add the name to a blacklist.

Most players have experienced one example of it.
Most common case being the black hole teleporting projectiles across the map with superspeeds thus not knowing where is lands.
This seems to be an issue of visualisation since the game has already calculated the spots but doesnt render it to the client.

Tank gears bouncing off the perimeter/walls instead of rolling away into the void or going superspeed above the sky limit.

Save lobby settings as a preset for the future.

Instead of quiting the lobby you created to check if you completed the daily or if it applies to the gamemode you play pressing tab could reveal the dailies on the bottom right corner as it is in the menu.
Most people know in the higher ranks that it resets at 00.00pm GMT
At the same time a timer could count down above the claim buttom as a title to show when the dailies reset.

If you're already full and get more from a crate have the value go higher as it did in ShellShock Live 2

It doesnt have to be On or Off.
Add a 3rd option in the item setting to have it in a limited mode to the just the free ones.

Have the skill rating be invisible unless the ranked mode is on plus a few extra optional details that give the playstyle of a player.

This includes:

• K/D ratio next to elo
  
• Average XP per hour
  
• Win % on the game mode

Did you ever want to experience 100% RNG weapon damage?
This could be a setting in the same category as Level Field
Well it could have a lower multiplier but it would allow only weapons like Spaz,Wanderer,Clover,Bouncy Balls etc.
A more exaggerated idea would be to select the possible available weapons based on the level cap with ultra low multiplier as a consequence.

Why have a separate category for bumpers,portals and not create one that in order to make the damage count to have to hit any obstacle.
The game would generate at least 2 types obstacles so the player uses more complex shots.
As for it multiplier it would be equal or in between the range of deathmatch and rebound/vortex mode with 300 max hp.

Many players repeatedly advise developers to add something, change something, etc., these are all good attempts to make the game even better, but within the limits of what the game already represents in terms of global development and entering the TOP of popular games in the world.

Given the fact that this game is available on multiple platforms, this means that the number of players is enough to say that this game is quite "live".
The lack of cross-platform is a huge problem with this game, because it significantly reduces its potential and in itself does not allow it to open up.

I don't know why the developer didn't make this game cross-platform from the very beginning and why it doesn't do it now, since as shown below his next game will support this feature.



Maybe it's a lack of resources, lack of hands and time, unwillingness to do this, etc., but let's imagine what potential the game could be unlocked if the game were cross-platform.

Benefits

• More Players
  
• Less time to fill Lobbies
  
• Bigger support for Events/Tournaments (More on that later)
  
• Potentially establishing a main discord server for the game covering the needs of the game

The game will become much more convenient and fun, the ability to play together across different platforms will attract even more new players, since I personally know many people who do not play this game due to the lack of cross-platform.

Under the management of third party software and 2 Developers from the community ,that used to work under the cheat, they managed to create something unique.
That tool is not meant to be trusted 100% till Kyle approves based upon the statements of one of the Devs so its considered official and not illegal distribution of software of the game.

This tool creates a new account that uses the steam client to log in the other server of the games.
In order to be able to work with the progress that any player that currently has a certain dev has to contacted in order to adjust it specifically to the player because if leaked it would ruin the experience on the other client side.

Kyle you ve notified multiple times by one of the devs(via Email) asking for clearance.

I am not promoting any material or info of how it works or what steps should anyone follow in order to apply it since its going against the terms and conditions of the game.

Lets summarize what the game brings onto the table for the level ups of items:

• Overcharge
  Overcharge can boost the damage of your next shot by 25% with unlimited uses, but the effects will not be stacked.
  Overcharge is useful if you don't currently have a great shot, or want to deal more damage with a weapons next turn, especially if not maxed out.
  
• Fortify
  As Overcharge describes in order to balance the bonus given by it in the defense form.
  
• Teleport
  Moves your tank to a random location on the map.
  
• EMP Blast
  Stops enemy tanks from moving for 1 turn and randomizes the direction their gun is facing on the targets turn.
  Radius changes according to the level of the item: 40/48/56/70
  
• Supply Drop
  Drops a package with a small arsenal of 5 random weapons which you have already unlocked. Higher levels add bonus luck to the items provided and each level also increases the amount of weapons dropped with the formula.
  
• Jet Pack
  Great for getting to spots you can't get to with traction being low or hill being too steep if maxed.
  Higher levels of this item can allow for slightly further travel: 65/70/75/80
  
• Shield
  Protects you from taking any damage as weapons just bounce off of you for 1 turn(after usage there is a 5 turn cool down).
  Upgrades increase the size of the bubble slightly: 25/28/31/34/37
  
• Tracer
  Great for checking to make sure your shot will land.
  Takes wind into account, but not portals or bumpers.
  It can trace only one specific shot per use (specific power and angle)
  Finally it can't be used for underground shots.
  Upgrades increase the duration it remains on the screen by roughly 0.5s.

The solution to the previous issue is presented below:

• Overcharge
  Being a free item to use i believe the levels should just raise the percentage of it instead of being 25% for all
  Values would be 20/25/30/35/40
  
• Fortify
  Same as Overcharge
  
• Teleport
  Level 1-2 would be as it fully random
  Level 3 Choose where you d like to tp. If failed make it random.
  Level 4 Choose where to you d like to be teleported and have a chance of successful tp there.
  If failed tp just a pixel so its like it was never used.
  Level 5 Make the player choose the location and thus tp him there.(No more luck after 1000 uses)
  
• EMP Blast
  Keep it as it is.
  
• Supply Drop
  With the way its given by default i cant see many things changing to it.
  
• Jet Pack
  Its perfectly set as it.
  
• Shield
  Level 1-2 keep it as we have it.
  Level 3-4 Similar as before but lower the countdown to 4 turns instead.
  Level 5 Make it last 2 turns and 4 turns reload between activation but at the same time let the players have higher chances on weapon that penetrate it to balance the possible abuse to it.
  Look for the relative part where i have the list of weapons that bypass the shield
  
• Tracer
  Level 1 No wind calculation & same duration as it is
  Level 2 Wind calculated plus 0.5s to the time
  Level 3 Underground Shots plus 0.5s to the time
  Level 4 Bumper calculated plus 0.5s to the time
  Level 5 Blackhole/Portal calculated plus 0.5s to the time

Have a chance starting from 10% up to 40% to cause an emp effect for a turn.

Draining more health if modifiers of critical hit activates.

Making it account the buffs xp into the player total.

As we have it at the current patch of game Overcharge and Fortify are quite know for doing more/less 25% regarding damage.
Some players have the tendency to use them as turn skips, especially in 1 weapon settings or even to gather more xp on weapons that need upgrades.

What is happening when the host sets items off?
You are forced to make other players wait while you simply do nothing as the timer counts down or simply waste the weapon acquired that turn.



Kyle in previous games of shellshock had the structure below:


I dont understand why he didnt follow the same way that Shellshock Live 2 had when it comes to all 6 items

Another alternative for this case is to separate those 2 from items and be put in a similar way presented above.
As a result:

• Items: Overcharge & Fortify
  
• Consumables: Shield, Teleport, Jetpack, Supplies

Lastly if people definitely don't want overcharge or fortify being available in the round, there must be a skip button so players dont wait for the turn to end of the timer in order to keep the weapon.

Most players are familiar on what the tournament mode is in the game.
In honor of the original discussion operators, i will let them do the intro to this section.

Originally posted by Taylor:

Tournaments have gone back to the forums when clans used to organize them themselves which eventually led to the concept being added to shellshock live steam version year 1 in 2015 over a few days. Unfortunately, the project was forgotten, and continued expansion was halted.

Originally posted by Gangoo:

The tournament mode was one of the most fun for me back then, but now it's hard to find people for it.

What we currently have:

• Mode: Deathmatch
  
• Number of Players: 4, 8 ,16
  
• HP: 100 to 600 with a step of 100 for in between values
  
• Wind: none low medium high
  
• Shot Type: All Team Single
  
• Items: On Off

A very common method of guaranteeing a tie in a normal game is suicide on the opponent.
Why would that be different in a tournament?
Or maybe should I rephrase it like that
Why not force the game into a tie and let the game choose the winner of the round based on rng.
That can be very very annoying to players and there are a few ways to decide who goes on into the next round:

• Most damage done
  
• Most XP collected in this round in case both players have 0 dmg or negatives
  
• Person that has used the least weapons to serve the kill in case of condition above being the same again.

Unfair methods could consist of who did the first shot or who died last.
But again we are open to here more suggestions on how this could be resolved in a fair way.


The game offers so many other modes why not be able to use them on the tournament for a bigger variety.

Additionally i have a more complex idea that could potentially work.
Set up different game modes in different rounds of the tournament providing more fun.

Besides the game modes suggested previously it would be preferable for the community to use the normal game mode settings.

What that means:

• Ability to choose the maps
  
• Ability to wager gears
  The table below shows the amount of gears you may win depending on the number of players participating and the number of gears wagered
  
  Players

  45
  If not all the amount to the winner.
  Have a 75% got to the winner and the 25% to the loser of the final round.
  
• Ability for streamers to raise the number of players entering a tournament up to 32 so they allow the audience to join along.
  
• Ability to invite friends into one or even create a private one that has password protection given by the host to the participants.
  
• Ability to adjust weapon levels and obstacle frequency rate.
  
• Have the option to play with cage walls that go across all the way up and not just 3x the normal border.

If you've ever played a tournament on Shellshock Live, you've more than likely noticed that skill is not required to win a match. It's more based on uncontrollable factors noted below:

• A forgiving weapon algorithm blessing you with weapons you can actually use.
  Its not an uncommon event to get a load out that supports only close range or that require flat ground in order to deal damage or weapons that cannot bypass the random spawn of a circle bumper around an opponent.
  Another great example of this is the use or rng weapons like scavengers that can sometimes deal over 300 damage or it can do lower than 50.
  
• Weapons depending on your level or upgrades on specific weapons.
  Higher levels have a better chance to find a more efficient weapon when it comes to killing since not only they own more unlockables from the level they are but also they have a lot more xp in them than an average level 60-80 player. As a result of that, higher tier weapon usually means higher damage dealt.
  
• Upgrades of your tank (critical hits, chassis/armor, luck)

In order to deal with that issue it would be suggested that some kind of level field applies.
Not the normal common field present in the normal modes, since it resets all upgrades and thus players have no movement at all, but a modified version of it.
What I mean is to use the level stats/upgrades and weapons of the player with the lowest level.
In case of a tie in the lowest level, the game should choose randomly one of the two set ups.

Spectator Mode has long been desired by the community, especially for those who wish to make the content of this game (both YouTube and Twitch) with their communities. When the host dies or anyone else, is able to click on a bracket and view the match live would keep everyone in the tournament engaged instead of leaving right away if they lose. In terms of presentation, it would make content and streaming as mentioned quite desirable.
Besides streamer side in this argument as a common player that waits a game to finish so he can complete his round it would be a lot more enjoyable to watch how the next opponent of his acts and uses the weapons given.
Also it would be a very useful way to determine if quiting the tournament is a wise option judging by the way some players keep the game going for a very long time due to a bad map or skill issues presented.

The majority of players would agree that getting 20xp for surviving all 4 rounds and winning the competition is a like completing a very hard task and being rewarded with a donut in real life.

What would be suggest is the winner would be getting 50% of the hp set at the beginning.
Thus forming the rewards from 50xp to 300xp.
Another great option would be based on the settings forming the multiplier with the highest reward being 500 and minimum to 200 so it doesn't make players feel they wasted their time for a very small amount of xp and potentially a map that they havent unlocked.

I'm not entirely sure what multipliers are applied when currently making a tournament. However, if one uses what the default tournament settings would be when creating a regular match then we'd have a 1.39x multiplier (default eight players, 300 hp, single shot, no wind, and items on) per individual tournament match we play depending how many rounds we survive.

Possible ways to boost the multipliers in this setup alone would be to apply additional aspects we can take advantage of in a regular deathmatch outside of tournaments. This would include such bonuses as how many weapons we start out with (1, 10, 15, or 30), Obstacles (none, low, medium, and high), and the ability to choose weapon level (on or off).

Community may have asked for 2v2s or 3v3s tournaments.

In my opinion with the struggle we have filling up a 16 player tournament at the current state of the game, this demand will be a dream since it would be hard to find enough players to cover all 16 bracket positions(32/48 players).

Potentially this could include clans and occasional events where people signed up for Games between them with rewards such us cosmetic points or even gears.

As an individual, i stopped the major grind after hitting the 2nd star.
The only thing that kept me playing was the daily mission and the hunt for those lovely dog tags.
I completed all sets of mine after the release of the new update so i could save up cosmetic points for the tags i thought looked cool on my profile.

Thanks to a few players(friends or not) it was made easy due to cooperation.
As a result of their help my play time was limited to 10h/2 week and missions mentioned below were completed fast:

• Get a kill with x weapon [where x is a low dmg weapon]
  
• Deal XX damage with x weapon [where x is a low dmg weapon]
  
• Kill 3+ players in Assassin/Juggernaut Mode
  
• Win 2+ games in Assassin/Juggernaut Mode

Now lets talk about numbers:

• Days After Update: 84
  
• Cosmetic Points Collected: 1099
  
• Cosmetics Coins Spent: 900
  
• Dog tags Collected: 49
  
• Daily Dog tags bought: 28 [21 commons/7 uncommons]

Also Cosmetic Points are just for decoration items and not contributing to the mechanics of the games.
So if you don't care enough about buying or collecting dogtags then you should just be able to enjoy the game as it is.

The game has unique tags that are beautiful and only unlocked by playing the dailies.
We dont need to see the ones from the shop since we can just get there and afford them if we have enough.

Being a completionist i would say that this could be very helpful for veterans of the game that had been saving gears for years to accomplish this achievement faster. Unfortunately not all players have been this committed or even worse they dont have enough gears to buy weapons from the shop as they are newer to game.

That means not only the game is suggesting them to grind a bit so they could afford one like that to cover the need of the daily but also they would be wasting a decent amount of them to just a decorative item that very few people would even recognize.
If they think simpler on the other hand its just 5 free cosmetics for skipping, which is something i would suggest doing in case you encounter this feature.

During this period its been noted ,by the community as well, that the chances of hitting the same tag after a few days or weeks are pretty high.

What that means is that you either get a way too expensive one that you have to skip cause you dont have enough CPs or you are encouraged to use real money to buy it if you want to cover the difference just in case you like it.

There is a worse case though, as i mentioned you may roll tags that cost gears.
So for the people that want to find new ones or even affordable ones its just another day they had to skip.

Those missions may seem easy to complete but there are some mechanics behind each of them.

Kill Missions
It was noticeable that the odds of that weapon appearing in your pool were much much higher than any other normally. The thing that made it obvious was the 3.42x or any other one weapon lobby. Players were literally spammed with that weapon on the first turn of the game. If set on 30 weapons it would almost be guaranteed if it belonged on the lower levels that have naturally higher odds.

That was a very very abusable tactic used by many players, including me, when given a high base damage weapon.
On the opposite side though, if the weapon was trash (counter 3, earthquake, oddball etc) it would be a hellish day and would play after the reset of dailies.

Deal Damage Missions
Unlike get a kill missions kyle seems to have coded the game to lower the odds of that weapon appearing in your pool.

Using 100hp 30 weapons all shot games was the most efficient way to deal with them but even if with those that it made spent 30-50 minutes.
There was a day for me that i spent 2.5h to find skeet to deal 50 dmg [Day 3 of update]
Additionally for a friend needing to deal 50 dmg with oddball we spent 1.5h till it was given.[Day 1 of update]


After completing any kind of missions the value of reward is randomized between 1 and 5.

Having mentioned the pain of some mission already it can be understandable that getting 1 CP for that annoying daily is frustrating since missions like play 4 rounds gives 5 CP.
I have thought of a solution regarding that matter but it will be presented later on the equivalent section.

Assuming you are lucky you will be able to get 15CPs for your dailies plus another 5 if you skip, adding up to 20 CPs.

Having already presented the total CPs collected in the first 84 days we end up with 13.08 per day as average gain assuming you skip over half of the days. Excluding the skip we end up with 8 per day just from the dailies.
Additionally we have to mark that the amount of all the CPs collected barely add up to the cheapest legendary tag that came in the 2nd smaller update of game and is 1100CPs.
Kyle either tells us that you have to pay real life money to acquire such nice tags or play around 50h of pure ingame time to gather the amount.

What if a player encounters a dogtag that he wants and isnt able to afford it?
He is forced to skip and hope it appears again or spent real money.

For me that not an appropriate thing to happen but i can understand that kyle is looking for ways to gain profit from players that have a decent amount of ours.
Solution may be presented in the relevant section.

I am sure Kyle can find a small position to mark the reward either on bottom left or next to the daily with a number so we know if it will be worth our time to grind get a kill missions with low damage weapons

There are 2 ways that this could be done:

• Either keep the randomness and higher the max amount given per mission
  The concept is simple raise the maximum potential reward to 10 CPs per mission and keep the randomness in.
  That would raise the daily gain potentially up to 30 CPs just from the dailies and its more likely to have 15-20CPs as an average gain without skipping the tag.
  
• Reward by the time/difficulty required to complete the mission
  We may keep the maximum reward up to 7 but grant the reward it fits the mission:
  (I am trying to find a way to balance it so those are just assumptions and definitely need improvement)
  
  • Kill missions: 4-6 CPs (based on the weapon)
    
  • Damage Missions: 5-7 CPs (based on the weapon)
    
  • Play Y rounds of X gamemode: 3-4 CPs
    
  • Get X kills: 1 per kill required
    
  • Get X crates: 2 per crate required

Its unfair for all tags to have a skippable value of 5CPs so again we have options:

• Rarity Based Reward
  
  • Commons: 1CP
    
  • Uncommon: 5 CP
    
  • Rares: 15 CP
    
  • Ultra Rares: 25CP
    
  • Legendary: 50CP
• Percent Based Reward
  
  • Commons: 15% of value (Minimum value 1)
    
  • Uncommon: 10% of value
    
  • Rare: 7.5% of value
    
  • Ultra Rare: 5% of value
    
  • Legendary: 3% of value (Apply a Maximum value if the 2k one gives way too much)

It is known that the tag is available for 24h only so instead of skipping i suggest if the player takes no action the tag is tranfered in the daily tag section to be bought later when he has the sufficient funds.
Skip action will be available there if he changes his opinion about it.

The point for this guide is to keep updating especially when comments suggest a great idea and thus another name will be credited here.
