Gears

This article is a stub. You can help ShellShock Live Wiki by expanding it.

Gears are the currency with which you buy everything sold in the Gear Shop. They can NOT be acquired with real money in any way, they are the games functioning in game currency like gold, coins ect found in other games, they cannot be traded, but you can chose to wager up to 3 at a time in matches.

What happens when a gear drops for the first time.

Gears can be acquired in multiple ways:

• Getting lucky on the daily wheel, which you can spin once every day after you win a match, meaning the end screen says "Victory". You can win 100 gears, 10 gears, 3 gears, 1 gear, or nothing.
• Shooting a gear box. Sometimes a box with a gear symbol will float in the air. The player shooting it spawns 5 gears for himself and 1 for everyone else.
• If a player has a "Bounty" arrow above them he will spawn gears that need to be aimed at. if he dies he drops 3 gears. If he survives multiple rounds he drops 1.
• Any time an enemy is hit there is a chance a tank gear will spawn that you need to aim at. This gear is not visible for the enemy and if you spawn one for the enemy you will not see it. There can only be 1 gear spawned this way per team and round, the chance is preset, however weapons such as flame, shrapnel and black hole which hit many times are good for earning gears.

• If you were one of the first to play the game you got a 500 Gear boost as a thank you. this was limited to the first few players, it was a single time event.

The gears that spawn in a match fly away from where they spawned in random directions and more importantly get influenced by explosions, so they can easily get knocked out of the map if you are not fast enough. They will disappear after a couple of seconds on their own, so aim at them and aim fast, if weapons explode near them and throw them out of the map, they wont come back, black hole and flasher are prone to this.

To collect gears, simply move the cursor on them when they appear.
