Facilitated Recharge

Facilitated Recharge is an Operative trait which is gained by progressing with any operative. Like all other traits, this trait is gained automatically upon leveling up the Operatives.

This trait allows the Operative to boost the charge up of their ultimate by selecting a specific weapon class.

Almost every Operative learns this trait at level 5, with the exception being Orbit who learns this trait at level 6.

Facilitated Recharge has a different effect for each role; the difference being the weapon choice.

* Troopers (Mongoose and Orbit) receive a benefit from using Submachine Guns (SMGs)
* Exos (Strix and Ram) receive a benefit from using Shotguns
* Recon (Brisa and Kite) receive a benefit from using Sniper Rifles
* Supports (Malva and Pill) receive a benefit from using Assault Rifles
Kioni Järvela

Kioni Järvela (codename ‘Patient Zero’) is the only known person to develop antibodies against the effects of Red Salt without the inborn V-Gene.

After the Strafe, the girl was evacuated from the Lapland Impact Zone. In February 2028, together with other survivors, she underwent a rehabilitation course supervised by Dr. Karin Velasquez. Right after the founding of Shellguard, Kioni was kidnapped by the Strafers and since then, finding and rescuing her has been one of Shellguard’s priority goals.

## Bio

Kioni never knew her parents; she was given away to a shelter in infancy. Until age 7, the girl was raised in orphanage, and later – in several foster families. At age 12, Kioni was diagnosed with the Waardenburg syndrome – a rare hereditary disorder that causes hair bleaching, increased iris brightness, and lack of skin pigmentation. At school, she was frequently bullied for her unusual appearance.

At 18, Kioni enrolled at the Lapland University in Rovaniemi, Finland. 2027 was her senior year, and she was working as an administrator at a ski resort part-time between semesters. In November 2027, the resort was caught in the epicenter of the impact of one of the Strafe’s fragments. Rescuers found Kioni 17 days later—she was unharmed but strangely amnesiac about what had happened. The girl spent a month in a local rehabilitation facility before Dr. Velasquez took an interest in her case and requested that Kioni be moved to Heidelberg.
After the Vancouver Global Security Summit, Kioni was kidnapped by the Strafers. Having accepted the position of Head of R&D at Shellguard, Velasquez requested the organization focus its efforts on finding and rescuing the girl. The doctor believes that Kioni’s genetic material can be used to create an anti-Crystalline vaccine that would help other infected.
The reasons behind Kioni's kidnapping remain unclear. It may have been ordered by Dr. Hanne-Marie Vickers, head of the occult-science branch of the Strafe Witnesses. Vickers may wish to utilize Kioni's unique medical case in her research of the Crystalline transformation.

## Personality

Not much is known about Kioni's personality, besides the fact that she was deeply emotionally scarred by the Strafe. Devoid of family, she has been looking for her own place in the world – and now, suddenly, she became a most valuable asset for both Shellguard and the Witnesses. At a certain point, Kioni will have to pick a side. The choice that she makes may define the future of humanity.

Impact Zones

Impact Zones are territories that suffered the fall of the largest fragments of Object X. Currently, an area is recognized as an Impact Zone if the mass of the Crystalline in it has reached critical values, and the Voice is actively creating Constructs. There are several dozen such locations around the globe.

## Common Traits

A typical Impact Zone resembles a crater with a clearly visible ridge. The diameter of these craters varies from a hundred meters to several kilometers. Within this area, any V-negative organism is subject to the aggressive effects of Red Salt. The external perimeter, the so-called ‘blast wave area’, can stretch out for dozens of kilometers. The environment here is not so aggressive, and one can even find occasional remains of civilization. Strafers usually deploy their bases within blast wave areas.

## Notable Zones

Below is a list of noteworthy Impact Zones, which will appear in the game story:

* **Dubai:** The 'urban' Zone. Dubai (external) became the largest urban agglomeration in the world to suffer from the Strafe directly. Parts of the infrastructure in the area remain intact, and a Strafer force deployed here can easily repel a small army.
* **Tyrrhenian:** The Zone encompasses a number of small islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea (external), as well as parts of the Sicilian and Sardinian coastline. Known for its volcanic activity which fuels the growth of the Crystalline. According to intel reports, Strafers created a concentration camp within the Zone, where they condcut experiments on humans and Glassheads.
* **Faroes:** The only 'artificial' Zone. It was the result of an emergency crash of Shellguard's stratospheric vessel, which was carrying samples collected from Object X. The samples 'sowed' a chain of island in the Faroe archipelago (external), and the Crystalline reached a critical mass here within a record short time.
* **Canmore:** The largest Zone on the planet. Located in a scarecely populated region on the U.S-Canadian border (external). Known for its diversity of Crystalline-affected flora and fauna. Shellguard's biggest field research station is deployed in this Zone.
* **Bermudan:** Located on the ruins of semi-flooded islands in the Atlantic (external). According to intelligence reports, Strafe Witnesses' headquarters is located in this Zone. Alan Seer himself may be hiding here.

Episode: Border Control

*This page contains uncensored spoilers.*

**Border Control** is Shellguard's mission to intercept a Strafer convoy in Dubai. While the Strafers attempt to ship a particularly valuable cargo out of the city, the Operatives try to prevent this cargo from leaving the Zone. This is the only mission coordinated by an experimental Dispatcher AI.

## Plot

Maidie Hughes intercepts a Strafer radio communication. The Strafers are organizing evacuation of some top-secret scientific data. Hughes sends a team to intercept the cargo, and entrusts the mission to Dr. Sullivan's brand new AI Dispatcher.

The AI introduces itself as "Randy" - a rather talkative and comedic persona for a mission coordinator. Shellguard fail to quickly seize the cargo, and begin pursuing it through the ruined city. Following Randy's instructions, the Operatives take a shortcut and ambush the convoy. The cargo is seized; however, when trying to move it out, the Shellguard helicopter crashes. Upon arriving at the crash site, Operatives find out that the container has in fact been transporting an augmented Stilt, controlled by the Strafers. The team eliminates the monster, robbing the Strafers of this valuable asset.

The Strafe

The Strafe refers to the event when shards of Object X bombarded the Earth. Universally accepted as the greatest disaster in human history, the Strafe affected dozens of countries and regions all over the world. Where the largest shards hit the surface, the Impact Zones emerged.

## The Prophecy

In 2017, Alan Seer, a famous American psychic, published his prophecy about ‘the rain of brimstone and fire’ that would allegedly hit Earth in November 2027. This text was the first to mention the word ‘Strafe’. The media never gave this prediction much attention, but Seer managed to gather a handful of followers, which started the Strafe Witnesses movement. The Witnesses have been preparing for the Strafe for nearly 10 years.

## Chain of Events

On November 27, 2027, a gigantic asteroid-sized object suddenly appeared in Earth’s orbit. The media dubbed it ‘Object X’, and demanded explanations from NASA, ESA, and other aerospace agencies. However, before scientists could come up with any hypotheses, Object X exploded, and its shards headed for the Earth’s surface.

The meteors hit dozens of cities, regions, and countries. The vast majority of satellites were disabled. Earth was affected by geomagnetic and atmospheric anomalies for several days in a row. Ironically, no one was prepared for it except for the Strafe Witnesses.

## Aftermath

Despite severe casualties, humanitarian chaos, and destruction of infrastructure, the most important and dangerous aftermaths of the Strafe were Impact Zones and the spreading of Crystalline. The Strafe literally split human history into ‘before’ and ‘after’. The only hope to restore the world is for Shellguard to succeed in their scientific endeavors.

FDI

**FDI** is a gun manufacturer in Shatterline.

## About

A major contractor of the US Armed Forces, FDI specializes in assault rifles. The goal of the company is to perfectuate this type of firerarm. In 2021, after a series of unsuccessful prototypes based on the refinement of the outdated M16, the innovative 'XM' line was developed from scratch. The very first prototypes of 'XM' surpassed the analogues in service in rate of fire, accuracy, and recoil compensation. Since 2024, the XM series models were adopted by the US Army.

## Notable Models

* XM-27 Pacifier
* XM-40 Conciliator
The Voice

**The Voice** is a character in Shatterline.

## Summary

The Voice is the decentralized collective mind of the Crystalline that operates on the neural network principle. The Voice globally controls the Crystalline and all creatures it has transformed. It aims to use the Earth’s resources to build new Glasships and complete the reproduction cycle.

## History

The phenomenon dubbed as the ‘Voice’ became known shortly after the Strafe. According to medical reports of the first infected, sooner or later each patient starts hearing a low monotonous hum. The hum changes its tone and modulation, spurring the patient into certain actions. Over time, the hum becomes stronger. At a certain moment, it completely displaces the patient’s consciousness, and the infected turns into a Glasshead.

## Nature

The Voice operates on a decentralized neural network principle. Any Crystalline organism, whether a Glasship, Glasshead, Construct, or even a Sprout, contains a small grain of the overmind. The greater the critical mass of the Crystalline at a specific point, the stronger the influence of the Voice. Within Impact Zones, this mass is great enough for the Voice to manage the construction of Glasships.

## Trivia

* The Voice's voice actress is Nicola Posener.
Team Deathmatch

Team Deathmatch is a Versus game mode in Shatterline.

Fight as one of two teams until the limit of 80 frags is reached.

If neither team meets the fragcount condition within 10 mins, the winner is the team with most frags.

* Score limit: 80
* Time limit: 10
* Team size: 6 players
* Maps: CQB, Death Lab, Island, Nisida, Old Town, Terminal
Sprouts

**Sprouts** are clusters of growing Crystalline that constitute over 80% of its total mass. The main purpose of Sprouts is to preserve energy produced by the consumption of silicon dioxide. Sprouts provide nutrition for the Voice’s sentience, and serve as building material for Constructs and Glasships.

## Design

A typical Sprout consists of a Pith, Body, and Carapace.

* **The Pith** is the internal part of a Sprout, where the Red Salt stays in a thick liquid state under great pressure. At a depth of 10–20 meters, the pith of each Sprout intertwine with each other, thus creating an overall ‘circulatory system’ of the entire Impact Zone.
* **The Body** is the largest part of a Sprout that produces and accumulates energy. The Red Salt remains in its usual crystal-like state here.
* **The Carapace** is the cover of a Sprout, containing heavy metals that the Red Salt is unable to ‘digest’. A Carapace does not contain the living Crystalline, so it does not perform any useful functions aside from protection.

## Role

Since the Voice functions similarly to a neural network, it needs to reach a critical mass to perform sentient tasks. Sprouts ensure this critical mass: the greater the number of Sprout clusters, the more meaningful actions the Voice can perform. In the Impact Zones, the mass is so considerable that the Voice can manage the construction of Glasships.

## Destruction

At the Vancouver Global Security Summit, it was suggested to attack Impact Zones with nuclear weapons. The U.S. government attempted to destroy one of the Zones with tactical short-range missiles. However, this caused severe emission of Red Salt into the atmosphere, and in several weeks, the Zone was restored with its boundaries extended. This is why direct air strikes on Sprout clusters are now considered counter-productive.
George Washington

**George Washington** (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799) was an American political leader, military general, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797. Previously, he led Patriot forces to victory in the nation's War for Independence. He presided at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which established the U.S. Constitution and a federal government. Washington has been called the "Father of His Country" for his manifold leadership in the formative days of the new nation.

The Vancouver Memorandum

The Vancouver Memorandum is an international agreement signed on March 7, 2028 as a result of the Global Security Summit held in Vancouver, Canada. The agreement was ratified by heads of 35 countries, and led to introduction of mandatory V-Gene Identification Test in the majority of the world’s militaries.

## Key Provisions

Below are the key provisions of the memorandum:

* Impact Zones are treated as exclusion zones with no state jurisdiction.
* Impact Zones are considered biohazardous, uninhabitable territories.
* Countries that have Impact Zones within their borders undertake to make every effort to prevent public access to these territories.
* Strafe Witnesses are acknowledged an extremist group that can be a subject to military operations.
* The member countries are to contribute to creating an international research organization that would aim to solve the Crystalline problem globally.

## Outcome

The main outcome of the Vancouver Security Summit was the creation of Shellguard, an international organization that would deal with the consequences of the Strafe. Mandatory V-Gene Identification Test has been introduced into military forces of the summit member countries. Detected V-Gene carriers were prompted to join Shellguard.

Transformation

**Crystalline transformation** is the process of transition of a living organism from a carbon-based to a silicon-based lifeform. The transformation is not a disease, but rather a chemical process, therefore it is not contagious in a traditional sense, and cannot be countered by pharmacological means. The transformation is triggered by Red Salt – the active strain of the Crystalline, which has mutated specifically to be able to subdue Earth species.

## Pathophysiology

The Red Salt penetrates into a healthy host via direct injection into the tissue, or inhaling of Crystalline particles. Once inside, silica bots contained in the particles begin to aggressively replace the original metabolic enzymes in living cells, thus saturating them with silicon dioxide. V-negative organisms have receptors on the surface of the cells, which allow silica bots to infiltrate. In a V-positive organism, such receptors are defunct, which means the bots are unable to penetrate the cells, and are excreted through the liver and kidneys.

## Symptoms and Cure

Upon infusion, silica bots begin to merge into the cells almost instantly. The patient experiences mind confusion, loss of vision, fever, and pain in the affected area. Visible crystallization traits appear on various body parts within 6-12 hours after the infusion. Within 2-3 days, the patient gradually loses the ability to digest, breathe, and control his or her actions. Within a 7-day period, their consciousness is completely replaced by the Voice, and the patient turns into a Glasshead.

There is no known treatment for a V-negative organism, affected with Red Salt. The transformation process cannot be reversed; however, its progression can be slowed down, and in rare cases, even halted completely. Currently, the cure is being researched by two independent science groups, which use mutually exclusive approaches. Shellguard R&D is seeking to neutralize the effects of Red Salt with an antidote. The Pillar of Creation aims to freeze the transformation process in the half-human, half-Glasshead state.

The Heidelberg Group

The Heidelberg Group, also known as the ‘Heidelberg Four’, was a research group at the European Molecular Biology Institute in Heidelberg, Germany. The group was studying the Crystalline during the first weeks after the Strafe. They made several fundamental discoveries about the nature of the Crystalline and its impact on humans and other species. Currently, the former members of the group are considered the world’s top experts on the Crystalline.

## History

The group was formed on December 13, 2027 under the direction of the World Health Organization, and headed by prof. Gerhard Shlöss. Together with the professor, doctors Karin Velasquez, Matthew Sullivan, and Hanne-Marie Vickers joined the group. In January 2028, under strict quarantine, the scientists examined samples of crystal-like substance obtained from five different Impact Zones.

Professor Shlöss developed a hypothesis about an alien, non-protein lifeform featuring silicon-and-oxygen biochemistry. He introduced the term ‘Crystalline’ to the scientific community. In February 2028, Shlöss joined the First Descent – a military expedition to the Dubai Impact Zone, and never returned. After the professor’s decease, the group was disbanded, and its members were to face new challenges.

## Members

The group’s members had different futures. **Dr. Matthew Sullivan** left the group and went on to seek private funding for the Crystalline research. He founded the CPL (Crystalline Power Limits) corporation and started to gather investments. Sullivan managed to convince the authorities that the Crystalline could be used for technological advancements. He cooperated with Shellguard in order to gain access to otherwise restricted Impact Zones.

**Dr. Hanne-Marie Vickers** argued that the Crystalline could not be fully comprehended with scientific methods alone. In that regard, she broke off with her colleagues and joined the Strafe Witnesses, where she was offered a leading position in the occult-science branch. Vickers seeks the way to adapt the human race to a symbiotic coexistence with the Crystalline, for the benefit of both species.

**Dr. Karin Velasquez** discovered the V-Gene, and developed the groundbreaking V-Gene Identification Test. This discovery allowed for detecting V-positive personnel in militaries all over the world, which secured the influx of military specialists to the newly created Shellguard. It was no surprise that Velasquez was appointed Head of Shellguard R&D. She is determined to rid the Earth of the Crystalline, and bring the world back to its former state.
Enhanced Munitions

Enhanced Munitions is an Operative trait which is gained by progressing with any operative. Like all other traits, this trait is gained automatically upon leveling up the Operatives.

This trait allows the operative to carry more backup ammunition for their primary weapon.

Almost every Operative learns this trait at level 6, with the exception being Orbit who learns this trait at level 7.

* Enhanced Munitions is not dependent on Facilitated Recharge. The Operative will gain bonus ammunition whether they are using their Bonus Weapon or not.
Shatterline

**Shatterline** is a free-to-play arena FPS with a roguelike co-op mode, developed and published by Frag Lab LLC. It was released on Steam Early Access on September 8th, 2022, for PC.

Please note that this game is still in Early Access, with a tentative release date of 'February 2023' for PC and Playstation, with Xbox to follow.

## Description

Shatterline is a free-to-play arena FPS with a Rogue-like Coop mode (Expedition) as well as several traditional PvP modes such as TDM, Conquest, Plant-the-Bomb, and Escort. Players can choose from 8 unique Operatives and an armory of 25 weapons that can be customized via attachments. Set in the near future, where humanity faces a threat of cosmic proportions. Players take on the roles of the Immunes – bearers of an extremely rare genetic combination that allows their bodies to resist the alien plague.

The game features narrative-driven cooperative multiplayer, as well as an array of team-based Versus modes. Whether you prefer PvE or PvP, Shatterline has plenty of both to offer – and meta-game systems encourage players to explore.

Building Shatterline has been our shared passion for five years and building the Frag Lab Studio for even longer than that. Several months ago we lost our publisher, but we continued to work on Shatterline. We finished key game systems, fixed hundreds of bugs, polished the gun play, and figured out how to publish our game to Steam. Now we come back to you, the community of players, to help us shape the future of Shatterline.

## Story

The year is 2028. The Earth is being slowly overtaken by the Crystalline – a gigantic interstellar super-organism that devours planets and transforms living species in its own image. This enemy cannot be bargained with, or fought with conventional means.

While humanity fears the cosmic plague, there are some who see it as a blessing. The Strafe Witnesses – an army of fanatics, – aim to subdue the Crystalline, and use it to uplift themselves to the next stage of evolution.

Between hope and the end of the world stands Shellguard – a small company of individuals immune to the Crystalline. These lucky few are involuntary carriers a rare genetic combination that provides resistance to the alien taint. Only they can stop the Crystalline – or allow it to change our world forever.

V-Gene

V-Gene is a recessive property of DNA, which provides immunity against the effects of Red Salt. This is a passive immunity, and it does not allow for extracting an antigen or creating a vaccine. V-Gene is extremely rare – found in less than 0.0001% of the global population. The gene activates once in several generations, so if a parent has it, the child will not necessarily also have the gene. It must be noted that V-Gene does not make a person immune per se; it only counters the long-term effect of molecular transformation.

## History

V-Gene was discovered by Dr. Karin Velasquez in May 2028 after examining the surviving members of the First Descent. Nathan Phillips, a lieutenant commander of the U.S. Navy and, eventually, the Commander-in-Chief of Shellguard, was one of the first humans to be confirmed V-positive. When the Vancouver Memorandum was signed, the V-Gene Identification Test became mandatory in the armed forces of 35 countries. It allowed for detection of dozens of V-positive personnel over a short period.

## Impact of V-Gene

V-Gene divided humanity into two unequal parts: V-negative (prone to Crystalline transformation) and V-positive. Only V-positives can safely operate within Impact Zones without the risk of infection. These people are humanity’s only hope to win the battle against the Crystalline. But Strafe Witnesses consider V-positives as a roll back to the previous, imperfect stage of human evolution. One of their goals is to eradicate all detected V-Gene carriers.
Power Weapons (Expedition)

Power Weapons are unique weapons that you can find in chosen stashes during expeditions. These weapons are extremely powerful and can change the outcome of a run if used correctly.

## The weapons

* The Gomorrah - spawn balls of lightning that remain at their spot for a while. The more the merrier.
* Jericho - Crystalline chain gun best used against a crowd of enemies.
* Sodom - Hand Cannon that deals massive damage to anything caught in its radius.
* There is also the Chakram which you can find in these stashes and although it is a unique weapon, it is not considered a Power Weapon.

## The Gomorrah

The Gomorrah is quite versatile as it is good against both groups and single targets and it's lightning orb will linger for a little while, doing consistent damage to the closest enemies. However, with this versatility it will never be the strongest in an area like area damage or single target damage.

## Jericho

The Jericho will throw it's thunder orbs at enemies at a decent pace and will be extremely powerful in a cluster of tightly packed enemies. In single target situations however, it will not be nearly as powerful so use it sparingly in situations that have a lot of tightly packed targets.

## Sodom

The Sodom is arguably the most powerful of the three as it can dish out an outstanding amount of single target damage and also has a massive area of effect. The Sodom charges then throws miniature black holes which then expands, sucking in the closest targets (this range is rather large) and then implodes dealing massive damage on most adversaries caught in the affected area.
Demolition

Demolition is a Versus game mode in Shatterline.

A tactical mode with no respawn during rounds. Each round, the attackers must arm the explosive in a specified location and defend it until detonation.

Defenders must prevent the bomb from being armed or defuse it before explosion. The team must win 4 rounds to achieve victory.

* Round limit: 5
* Time per round: 1.7 minutes
* Team size: 6 players
* Maps: CQB, Nisida, Old Town, Terminal
Episode: Hecatomb

***This page contains uncensored spoilers.***

**Hecatomb** is a Shellguard rescue mission. The main objective is to extract Kioni Järvela, a former patient of Dr. Velasquez, who was kidnapped by the Strafers. The uniqueness of Kioni's medical case is that her cells are able to produce antibodies which suppress the Crystalline transformation. This phenomenon may be the key to development of the anti-Crystalline vaccine. This makes Kioni an extremely valuable resource for both Shellguard and the Witnesses.

## Plot

The Tyrrhenian Impact Zone is infamous for its volcanic activity, which fuels the growth of the Crystalline. Pyroclastic eruptions and volcanic ash have provided the Strafers with excellent camouflage to conceal the laboratory complex where experiments are being conducted on humans and Glassheads. Shellguard intelligence reports that 'Patient Zero' is kept inside this facility.

Breaking into the Strafer perimeter, the Operatives discover that Kioni, along with other test subjects, is being held in a cryo-stasis pod. It seems that some experiments were carried out on her, but the nature of these experiments remains unclear. Only one thing is for certain: Kioni is the only subject who did not turn into a Glasshead. On the way to extraction, the team is attacked by a Behemoth. Kioni somehow manages to weaken the monster, but passes out after doing so. When the Behemoth is defeated, Velasquez demands an explanation, and the Operatives take Kioni to Shellguard's base.
CPL

**CPL** is a weapons manufacturer in Shatterline.

## About

A research and development company founded by Dr. Matthew Sullivan after the Strafe. The production of weapons (or, in fact, single-unit prototypes) is only one of the company's directions; the main goal of CPL is to develop applied technologies based on the Crystalline. Sullivan views the Crystalline as a source of free and inexhaustible energy, which, if tamed, could be 'harvested' to humanity's benefit. This is why CPL is cooperating with Shellguard in their research of the Impact Zones.
Dr. Karin Velasquez

### Occupation

Doctoral candidate, Department of Applied Biology, Johns Hopkins University Science associate, PhD,European Molecular Biology Institute

Head of R&D, Shellguard (since 2028)

Karin Dolores Velasquez Garcia is the Head of Shellguard R&D. She is in charge of biological safety and first-hand research of all materials and data recovered by the Operatives in the Impact Zones. Dr. Velasquez is a former member of the Heidelberg Group, and one of the three most renowned Crystalline experts. Under her watchful guidance, Shellguard hopes to unravel all the tangled mysteries of the Crystalline and find a way to stop it for good.

## Bio

Karin was born in 1993 in Cartagena, Spain, into a family of theatre actors. In her teenage years, parents expected her to become a fashion model, but despite her stunning looks and a knack for arts, she ultimately chose science. In 2015, she obtained a BSc in Applied Biology in the University of Valencia, after which she enrolled as a postgraduate at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. In 2024, she attained PhD in Molecular Biology with a thesis on ‘Possibility of existence of non-carbon based lifeforms’. In 2025, she received an offer from the European Molecular Biology Institute in Heidelberg, Germany, and became a full-time science associate.

In Heidelberg, Karin met Hanne-Marie Vickers, and they engaged in a romantic relationship. In December 2027, together with Dr. Vickers and Dr. Matthew Sullivan, she joined the Heidelberg Group, where she conducted a comprehensive research of the Crystalline under the guidance of professor Gerhard Shlöss. After the tragedy of the First Descent and professor’s death, Karin continued her work in Heidelberg, which led her to discovery of the V-Gene.

n April 2028, the WHO recommended Dr. Velasquez as the head of Shellguard’s science branch. Karin joined the newly formed Shellguard to get to the bottom of the Crystalline and eliminate the extraterrestrial plague once and for all.

## Personality

Dr. Velasquez is an open and easy-going person. She is utterly curious and strikingly fearless. She is determined to stop at nothing in her pursuit of ridding the world of the Crystalline.

Karin’s work at Shellguard involves her into a ‘duel of bright minds’ with her former lover, and now nemesis, Dr. Hanne-Marie Vickers, who crossed over to the Strafe Witnesses. While Velasquez stays true to experiment and scientific method, Vickers aims to explain the Crystalline from both scientific and spiritual viewpoints. It is now a matter of whose approach bears more fruit. This personal conflict may yet have a part to play in future encounters between Shellguard and the Witnesses.

## Trivia

* Karin Velasquez's voice actress is Elizabeth Maxwell.
Berlington

**Berlington** is a weapons manufacturer in Shatterline.

## About

In its early days, Berlington was a family owned company that made custom modifications for pump action shotguns. However, in the early 2010's, the firm went bankrupt and was bought out by shareholders. The new owners chose the most popular mods, and invested in thier mass production. In a few years, sales increased significantly. On the present-day market, Berlington hardly has any competition in its pump-action shotgun niche. While everyone considers this type of weapon unreliable and outdated, Berlington shotguns prove that they can still serve.
Shotguns

**Shotguns** are a weapon type in Shatterline.

## List of Shotguns

* Tier 1: Berlington TAC (The best stability among Shotguns)
* Tier 2: R60 Gevaudan (The most evenly balanced weapon stats among shotguns)
* Tier 3: M2 Tactical SAS (Burst-fire weapon with the highest magazine capacity among Shotguns)
* Tier 3: Lupara Compatta (Unique double-barrel shotgun which can be used as a secondary weapon)
