SHRAPNEL STX2 — March 20–23
SHRAPNEL STX2 — March 20–23
STX2 WILL BE A 4-DAY EVENT
- March 20–23: 10am — 6pm PST
Before you continue, please make sure you’ve read the SHRAPNEL STX FAQ which explains our Early Access structure.
As a reminder, the STX naming system is designed to help users easily recognize the scale of updates and new features. Bigger updates are indicated by a change in the whole number (for example, moving from STX1 to STX2, then to STX3). In contrast, minor updates are reflected in the decimal number changes (such as STX1.1, STX1.2, and so on).
SHRAPNEL OFFICIAL WEAPON SKINS
On March 20th, the Shrapnel Marketplace will debut exclusive Shrapnel Official weapon skins. A total of 20 weapon skins will be available for purchase:
- 10 marketplace-exclusive weapon skins across 3 distinct sets, including our very first collection of legendary skins — the “NISHIKIGOI” set. These skins cannot be crafted through gameplay (more information about skin crafting is TBA).
- 10 skins spread over 4 different sets that players have the option to either craft or buy.
- The 20 skins will be available for purchase for a limited time only and will be replaced by new sets of skins in the near future.
- Players will be able to equip their skins in-game starting STX2.
Additionally, you might spot an item listed as “Wildcard” for sale on the Marketplace. Stay tuned, as we’ll be unveiling more details about this intriguing item soon.

GAME OVERVIEW
MAP
- Name: “Yomi”
- Player count: Max number is 12 but sessions will be able to launch with fewer based on player counts and time.
- Initially, the map will contain one high-fidelity section — “The beautiful corner”, while the rest of the map will be polished throughout Early Access.
- A grey box environment allows the team to integrate changes and feedback more effectively.
- [MAP UPDATES] Some of the areas that have been updated include the restaurant by the train station, the train station, the night club, and more. https://twitter.com/playSHRAPNEL/status/1768683186177888643

1 SIGMA ABILITY
- Sigma Wave
4 WEAPONS
- Pistol: “HGS1 Leo”
- Assault Rifle: “MR84 Special”
- Shotgun: “CSG5 Doorbreaker”
- [NEW] SMG: “Type 50 SMG” — A compact coilgun for close personal defense, quiet fire https://twitter.com/playSHRAPNEL/status/1769441542282826233

1 THROWABLE
- Sigma Grenade
1 HEALING ITEM
- Medipen
PLAYABLE OPERATOR
- Aniki Level 10
- Operator Unique Trait: Hearty (more likely to see health-related perks as part of Operator progression)
- Perks:
Careful Application (2/2): Healing items restore more health
Acquisition Procedure (2/3): Pick up Sigma more quickly
Sigma Restoration (1/ 2): Heal slightly when collecting Sigma from the environment
INVENTORY PERSISTENCE
- No Persistent Inventory in STX2
- Persistent Inventory means that players can keep successfully extracted loot such as gear (e.g. attachments, weapons) and build out their future loadouts (i.e. gear gained in one session can carry over to the next one).
- For STX1, every player will start with the same loadout and then search the Sacrifice Zone for additional weapons, attachments, and ammo to help them survive, collect Sigma, and extract to climb the leaderboard.
- In the future, players will build their own loadouts of the gear they’ve accumulated in their inventory.
FEEDBACK FORM
STX2 KNOWN ISSUES
- Skins for the AR won’t display until switching to a different weapon skin tab.
- Quickly equipping skins may result in AR skins from missions not always being applied to the MR84.
- A few players may experience being unexpectedly returned to the lobby after attempting to deploy their first match; this issue occurs sporadically/inconsistently.
- There’s a minor delay or pause following the action of mantling.
- Certain areas are excessively dark, hindering visibility.
- Aniki’s Sigma healing perk does not function consistently.
- Canceling matchmaking after changing weapon skins leads to “Cancel” becoming stuck/frozen on the deploy button.
Thank You to all who participated in past STX events!
We are just getting started and are excited to continue building in public and shaping the future of SHRAPNEL with the community. We’re committed to improving the game, and these early access events help us do just that.
