Welcome back followers of the fearsome!
This week we’ll be taking a quick look at some of the very cool equipment customization in Viking Squad. We really want players to be able to choose gear that reflects their play style so we’ll be sure to give them a whole bunch of options. Below is an image with all the equipment slots that we’ll be dealing with in the exciting world of Viking Squad.
As you can see above we have our default armor set on our Shield Viking! Default gear is what you’ll start out with, it’s serviceable for sure but you want to go out hunting for new and exciting armor options!
-Helmets are going to have small changes to armor, health and damage. They are also going to look super cool!
-Shoulders offer greater changes in health, damage and armor and can be mixed and matched depending on what statistics you’d like to change on your characters. Some people might want higher health ratings on their shoulders and rely on armor from thier helmets while some other players might just want to look the coolest on the battlefield!
-Belts control how many healing flasks you can bring on a voyage. Flasks are a really big deal so it’s always good to invest in a sturdy belt!
-Weapons are going to be really rare and offer changes to damage and critical strikes as well as bring other variations to gameplay. When you discover a weapon in Viking Squad we want to make sure it’s a super big deal.

Here’s a quick comparison to 2 full sets of armor. On the left is an earlier set of Leather armor, it’s a great boost to the default set with some more armor and a couple extra flasks to help you get a little bit further on your voyage. The silver set on the right is a more powerful set that gives greater armor and even a health bonus. Since players can mix and match you can equip whatever combination of gear you want to make sure your viking is set up just the way you like it!

And that’s it for this week! thanks so much for stopping by and checking out our cool process! designing equipment is a whole lot of fun and we can’t wait for people to sink thier teeth into our expansive systems. Until next time, keep those equipment choices related to your play style!
