Hey everyone!
As we mentioned in the past, we are dedicated to release regular updates for Shardpunk and work on additional content.
Since launch, Shardpunk: Verminfall has been accompanied by a free DLC, Blood Pack, which added a layer of gore to the game. It allows you to splatter the rats all over! If you haven’t yet, make sure to check it out!
Shortly after the release we started working on additional features we could introduce to the game as regular updates, but also began work on a more substantial addition - such as a DLC. That DLC was one that we felt would be something that would come with a reasonable price tag and be available sometime after launch. Player response, reception and feedback shared both on Steam and Discord steered us in a direction of adding a new playable character, as well as a new enemy type and elite variants of already existing units.
Last month we announced Rat Pack at Tacticon, giving you a glimpse of what’s coming. Now, it’s time for two key pieces of information regarding Rat Pack's launch.
First: Rat Pack will be available on June 29, a week from now. It is the first DLC to introduce a brand new squad member and new enemies.
Seeing you all excited about the game, sharing your experiences in the reviews, on the forums, and on Discord, led us to a decision to make Rat Pack completely FREE for everyone!
Rat Pack Content
New playable character - Leah, the Electromancer.
She’s a truly shocking addition to the Shardpunk roster.
She mastered the power of electricity and wields it to fight off the vermin hordes.
Her abilities include:
- Shock Trap: Stuns enemies who enter its range
- Blink: Teleports Leah to a selected tile in range
- Life Drain: Drains life from enemies, damaging them, and healing Leah
- Sacrifice: Grants Leah additional AP at the cost of HP
- Energy Discharge: Damages and stuns multiple enemies around Leah.
New Enemy Type - Stun Lancers
Rat Pack introduces a brand new type of enemy - Stun Lancers, melee enemy units that stuns your squad members when it gets too close. When encountered, it’s best to keep them at a distance… as if being a rat didn’t make them repelling enough.
Elite Variants
Stun Lancers enter the roster of the vermin horde accompanied by Elite variants of Grunts, Shotgunners, Machinegunners, and Snipers. Elite units can appear as a part of a special encounter in map location. They are a bigger challenge, but drop more useful loot.

We hope you’ll have tons of fun playing Leah and plowing through new Rats while we are working on future updates and content for Shardpunk!
