Steel Hunter Mode Overview

Steel Hunter is a last-man-standing battle royale where you or your Platoon fight in special vehicles on dynamic maps. Fight in a Platoon with 20 vehicles in total or fly solo with 15 vehicles in total competing to wipe out the rest of the competition.

Here are some things you should know before dropping into Steel Hunter:

Steel Hunter Mode Details

Expand
  • Eight special vehicles with unique abilities will join the hunt.
  • When playing in a Platoon, you can use the in-game voice chat and the command wheel to communicate with other players. Make sure you have voice chat enabled in your settings.
  • The total battle time is up to 15 minutes. Before each battle, you can choose from several spawn points on the map.
  • Battles will unfold on three huge maps, whose playable areas will shrink with time. In Danger Zones, your vehicle won't receive damage, but pay attention to the countdown indicating when they will turn into Destruction Zones. Escape Destruction Zones as quickly as possible, as they will gradually cause damage until your vehicle is destroyed.
  • You'll be able to upgrade your vehicles while in battle and get stronger with each new tier.
  • Your main goal is to survive at all costs. Destroy all enemies and be the last Hunter standing.
  • Collect special objects (loot) that randomly spawn on the map (Consumables and Supplies) but also remain after destroyed vehicles (Spoils of War). These objects contain resources, Combat XP, Combat Ability charges, HP, and repairs for modules.
  • The most valuable type of loot is the Airdrop. Many players will want to get their hands on Airdrops, so you'll have to push yourself to the limit to get to them first.
  • All special vehicles in this mode are equipped with the lock-on (auto-aim) feature—signature to wheeled vehicles. This will make it easier to cause damage on the move and against moving targets.
  • The shell velocity is also higher in this mode for the same purposes.
  • Enemy vehicles display their upgrade tier, allowing you to better assess your capabilities.
  • There is a special type of AI-controlled opponent in the mode called Marauders. They yield Combat XP and Spoils of War when destroyed. Note that they're displayed on your minimap as squares, not triangles like regular players.
  • Your mastery will be taken into account. The matchmaker aims to provide opponents of similar combat effectiveness for both Platoons and solo players.
