Fatshark has announced a new weapon naming promotion for its upcoming squad based RPG Krater. Participants will submit their best name ideas for three weapons, and the winners will see their weapons in the game and their own names featured in the game's credits.

The top down RPG takes place inside a giant impact crater where the inhabitants live on in the aftermath of a bomb. Krater will be available for Windows PCs on June 12, while a Mac version will be available in July.

“We have three weapons that have one thing in common, besides being badass, and that thing is that they don’t have a name. There was some bad communications between the weapon designers and the name creators. And then Gunnar came up with naming them The Gunnernator I, II and III – that gave us all brain freeze.” says Martin Wahlund, CEO and Executive Producer, Fatshark. “Please help us out with naming these three weapons – or they might just end up being the Gunnernators!”

“The three best names will end up in the game, which means that anyone picking up the game will be able to use the weapon you named. And better yet, you will be in the official game credits under ‘Senior Lead Weapon Name Creator Director’ – or something shorter.” Says Victor Magnuson, Game Designer, Fatshark. “Now be creative and save us all from the Gunnernator!"

If you want to get your KRATER on, and save a few “whatever currency you have” while you’re at it, visit http://store.fatshark.se and pick up the game today and get instant access to the alpha build!

Why that's simple: the Pop Weasel, Scrappy the Smiter, and the Benford Bullet Hose 9000.  And don't bother entering the contest folks, when I entered those names they said each one was an awesome name and may be the winner.  Sorry to have wrapped this up so soon without you guys getting a shot at it.

Posted a few entries on each weapon, since you can submit more than one. Not quite as creative as tBC's but okay I think. :P

Liking the look of this game, and enjoying the community outreach by the team.

I just got an email saying I won first place on one of the weapons! Cool. It was the nail gun looking weapon.

Anyone else here who submitted win an entry?
