What is Steel Hunters?

Steel Hunters is an online, mech-hero shooter that seamlessly combines Battle Royale and Extraction mechanics. Players take command of formidable mechanical giants called Hunters, engaging in dynamic duo PvPvE battles on the Hunting Grounds. Fight to collect Starfall on an abandoned Earth and use combat tactics to turn rivals into scrap.

Set in a futuristic world, Steel Hunters tells the story of humanity’s fight for survival following a catastrophic event. Hunters were created to secure a rare extraterrestrial resource called Starfall. In their clash for domination, Corporations and Factions transformed Hunters into fearsome combat machines, used in the race to conquer the scarce resource across the ruins of a green but abandoned Earth.

Steel Hunters offers an intense mech power fantasy where you control formidable mechanical giants – Hunters – and participate in action-packed battles, pursuing various objectives to level up and acquire gear. Each Hunter comes with its own distinct playstyle, unique ability kits, and progression systems that allow for a variety of strategies and tactics to outmatch opponents as they push toward the final showdown at the extraction point.

Choose from an elite roster—including Razorside, Heartbreaker, Fenris, Ursus, Trenchwalker, Prophet, and Weaver—each armed with devastating abilities and ready to dominate dynamic battlegrounds like Crimson Ridge, Maryland Heights, and Stonecutter Keep.
