Operation Crackdown

All platforms

Join San Angora's first-ever egg hunt!

Spring is around the corner and the sunny side is finally up. What’s more synonymous with Easter than goats and eggs? Let’s eggsplore what the fuss is about.

To keep the goat simulation as realistic as possible we’ve added 19 new gears (5 with abilities):

  • Slinger Saddle – Nobody’s riding you, you’re the one who knocks eggs

  • RadEars – Does this have anything to do with Daniel Radcliffe? Let’s find out

  • Walking Egg Shells – Sounds a lot like my childhood

  • Flappy Goat – Let’s reminisce about our favorite mini-game from Goat Simulator 1 and all the warm and fuzzy feelings it brought us

  • Bug Bunny – It’s on brand, that’s all I’ve got to say

  • Shellmet – Is it a shell? Is it a helmet? Is it both?

  • Unzipped Goat – Get your mind out of the goater, it’s not what you think it is

  • Hen Head – Los Pollos Hermanas Capra Edition©. Pair this with ‘Unzipped Goat’ for a match made in heaven

  • Turdle Ears – It’s all ogre now

  • Turdle Bandana – Even Axl Rose would be jealous of this

  • Turdle Shell – A shell for true ninja heroes

  • Turdle Skin – Skin is love, skin is life

  • Turdle Feet – Two-toes reptile slippers. A true fashion statement

  • Kärring Scarf – Scarfed for life

  • Kärring Dress – Evening dress worthy of Blåkulla

  • Brushy Hooves – It’s just as useless as it sounds like

  • Rubber Rooster head – Annoyance has a new face

  • Rubber Rooster suit – Enjoy that thick rubbery feel against your skin

  • Rubber Rooster feet – No need to claw your horns in

  • Easter-themed menu

Achievement Issues (Epic only)
