Brief Summary

In Steel Hunter, it's every tanker for themself! The battles involve 20 (when playing in solo mode) or 21 (when playing in a Platoon of three) players. Your main goal is to survive at all costs, while looting spawned treasures and escaping Danger Zones in a timely fashion. At the end of the battle, there should be only one Commander or one victorious Platoon left on the battlefield.

In the Steel Hunter game event, you can also:

  • Upgrade your vehicle during the battle
  • Loot destroyed vehicles
  • Pick up Airdrops: The most valuable in-game loot
  • Use unique combat consumables to change the outcome of the battle
  • Spot enemies via a new Vision/Aiming Mechanics system
  • Detect adversaries and treasures with a brand-new mechanic: Radio Detection
  • In this mode, we've implemented a fundamentally new system of visibility aiming — find out all about it below

How Can I Start Playing?

1. Go to the Steel Hunter Garage through the drop-down menu to the right of the “Battle” button.

2. Use the 3D object in your Garage. Clicking on it will take you to the Steel Hunter Garage, then choose a tank, and click “Battle!”

3. Create a special Platoon for the mode. Gather three (3) players in a Platoon, choose a unique vehicle, and roll out!

On August 26, you will find three special vehicles to choose from in the Steel Hunter Garage: one from the U.S.A., one from Germany, and one from the U.S.S.R. You cannot mount any additional equipment on these tanks; the possibility of customization is also not provided. Choose one of the tanks and click the “Battle” button to start your exciting combat journey!

Special Vehicles, Upgrading in Battles

Each of the three available tanks can be upgraded from Tier I-VIII right in the middle of the battle. To research your tank, you need to earn Battle XP by looting treasures and damaging/destroying enemies. For each vehicle, a unique tree of modules is provided.

Once you have enough Battle XP points, you can upgrade your tank. Each level offers one of two modules to choose from. They change the characteristics and appearance of the tank right in the middle of the battle. Despite the Tech Tree being pretty simple, it offers a meaningful choice between vehicles with different play styles each time you upgrade, so check it out.
