Latest Prison Architect Alpha, Number 17, Gives Out Free Shotguns

Are your Prison Architect guards feeling a little under-equipped, maybe they need a little pick me up. In the latest Prison Architect alpha, Number 17, you can now doll out one hell of a pick me up, the shotgun!

The best thing about shotguns, you’re guards look bad ass, so bad ass they don’t even need to use the shotguns to deter fights and mischief. That’s not to say these shotguns don’t work, oh they do, but a little show of force can go a long way to keep things running smoothly.

The flip side to having armed guards is needing an armory and that’s one big jewel in your Prison that will to be targeted for sure. Should the worst of the worst break in, they too will be armed with shotguns which can’t turn out well for anyone. Be sure to watch the complete developer diary to see the new armed guards in action along with some other new additions to the game.

These guys are excellent for suppressing your prisoners more raucous behaviours.  Stick a couple of these dudes in the canteen or the yard and things’ll calm right down.  Useful they just wander around looking tough, but hit that weapons free button and things’ll get messy – you’ll lose so many prisoners that it’ll be a game-over event, but don’t let that stop you blowing off some steam.
