- Updated 1.05 - 14 April 2017
Greetings Bierzerkers! In the 1.05 we will be limiting our official servers to US West. However, we have added the ability for you to launch a local dedicated server directly from inside the game. After the server starts it will be accessible to anyone through the server browser as long as you have opened the proper ports on your router. Forward your router ports: 7788-7789 27028 15008 for both TCP/UDP. We have also added the ability to launch the game over LAN without connecting to servers on Steam. The local dedicated server functionality works over LAN as well without the need to open any of the router ports. After the server has launched it will show up for anyone on your local network. With these changes we have updated the way progression is stored. It now has the ability to be updated to store progression both online and offline so all of your unlocks will be available to you whe…

- Update from the Dev Team - 11 November 2016
Greetings Bierzerkers! Long time no chat. When we set out to develop Bierzerkers our goal was to build a light-hearted and fun multi-player game to enjoy with friends. But making video games is hard, and we’re still struggling to find the right business model to help us continue development and give you guys a great experience. With that in mind, here’s some information about upcoming changes: As of now, we have removed the in-game DLC locks on all the characters, making the game content free, temporarily. On 11/21 the new business will take effect, $4.99 box price for the entire game, no more locked characters! Anyone who has paid for DLC or has the game currently downloaded and installed on 11/21 will receive a free license. So tell your friends to get on and play between now and 11/21. Aside from business model, our next biggest issue is crashes and performance problems. These will t…

- Version 0.6 has been released - 19 November 2015
Bierzerkers 0.6 Release Notes New Mode - Bierball Bierball mode (working title) has arrived, see below for more information Added a new map called Odin’s Arena (also working title) New Class - The Highlander In addition to the new map and mode a new class, the Highlander, lover of sheep, has been added. He is a very offensively focused character wielding a large two-handed sword. His defense mechanic is to block, similar to the Raider, but he can’t take as many blocks as the Raider can before his guard breaks. His abilities are: Sheep Bomb - by playing his bagpipes the Highlander sends a sheep minion out with a bomb on his back. When the bomb explodes it does damage to all nearby and will knock the Sheep out of anyone’s hands who may be carrying it in the area. Sheep Joust - the Highlander rides a sheep and charges forward, using his weapon as a lance to push enemies back. Super Uppercu…

- Show Us Your Rig: Shield Break Studios' Chris Talucci - 4 August 2015
Show us your rig Each week on Show Us Your Rig , we feature PC gaming's best and brightest as they show us the systems they use to work and play. Chris Talucci is the co-founder of Shield Break Studios, currently working on the Early Access game Bierzerkers. He's got an awesome keyboard he found in a Taiwanese market—a place our hardware editor Wes called "a paradise for PC Gamers"—and a very powerful pre-built machine. Chris was kind enough to show us around his deck setup and tell us about his favorite game, and also how he manages to make Kerbal Space Program even harder. What s in your PC? * Xidax X-5 — I found Xidax when searching for office PCs for some of our guys, and they've pretty much got the best rig for the best price on the planet right now, and have been super friendly with us. * Geforce GTX 980ti - 6GB GDDR5; * Intel i7-4790K (4 - 4.4GHz); * 16GB - Cors…
