WOT STEEL HUNTER 2020: ESSENTIAL DETAILS
We’re sure you remember the basic rules of this mode, but here’s a quick refresher just in case:
- You are one of 20 players fighting for victory. It’s every Steel Hunter for themselves.
- Choose to fight solo or in one of ten Platoons of three (in this case, there will be a total of 30 players).
- Your main goal is to survive at all costs. Destroy all enemies and be the last Steel Hunter standing.
- Collect special objects (loot) that periodically spawn on the map. They contain resources, Battle XP, and vehicle upgrades.
- Battles will unfold on two huge maps whose playable areas will shrink with time. Escape Danger Zones as they will destroy your vehicle once the countdown ends if your vehicle is still inside.
- The total battle time is 15 minutes. Before the battle, you can choose from several spawn points on the map.
MAPS AND DANGER ZONES. WOT STEEL HUNTER 2020
In addition to Dreamland, a sinister new map called Arzagir 4.04 will appear in Steel Hunter.
 Dreamland |
 Arzagir 4.04 |
The same size as Dreamland, but set in a dangerous abandoned town, this new location will offer you a fresh gameplay experience and many opportunities to experiment with all kinds of tactics.
 Varyag (U.S.S.R.) |
 Walküre (Germany) |
 Harbinger Mk. IV (Britain) |
 Raven (U.S.A.) |
 Arlequin (France) |
You can’t buy ammo or mount additional equipment or customizations on these tanks.
Each vehicle will play a different role:
- Survivor
- Hunter
- Scout
The Soviet and German tanks will perform more defensive roles, while the British and American vehicles are best suited for attacking and hunting. The French tank will serve best as a scout.
ABILITIES. WOT STEEL HUNTER 2020
There are two Abilities that are common for all tanks:
Recovery. Gradually recovers a fixed percentage of the vehicle’s HP, but stops working if you take damage.
Repair Kit. Repairs vehicle modules (analogous to Large Repair Kits) and reduces stun duration.
The effects of Abilities that recover HP do not stack. If you use more than one at a time, the most powerful one will supersede the others.
Each vehicle also has one regular and one ultimate Ability unique to it:

Eagle EyeLOOTING. WOT STEEL HUNTER 2020
To upgrade your vehicle, you need to search for special loot points on the map. Once you reach these points, you will be able to collect loot that may contain XP, shells, and charges for your Abilities.
There are four (4) types of loot available:
 |
 |
 |
 |
| AmmunitionContains shells and Battle XP. Also repairs damaged modules. Marked by yellow smoke. | ConsumablesContains Battle XP, but less than in Ammunition, as well as one regular Ability charge. Restores HP and repairs damaged modules. Marked by green smoke. | Spoils of WarContains all resources of a destroyed vehicle as well as one ultimate Ability charge. Repairs damaged modules. Marked by red smoke. | AirdropsThe most valuable loot type. Contains one ultimate Ability charge, one regular Ability charge, and a larger amount of Battle XP. Restores HP and repairs damaged modules. Many players will want to get their hands on Airdrops, so you'll have to push yourself to the limit to get it before they do. Also, all players will be able to see on their minimaps where Airdrops land. Marked by blue smoke. |
VISION/AIMING MECHANICS. WOT STEEL HUNTER 2020
The vision system uses Vision Cones and it is one of the most important aspects of Steel Hunter gameplay:
- Enemy vehicles become visible only when they appear inside your Vision Cone, which is depicted on the minimap. Activation of the Sixth Sense Perk doesn't mean you will notice enemies. They must be inside your Vision Cone.
- If enemies are within 50 meters of you, they will automatically become visible.
- When enemies are within sight, their markers and HP bars are displayed.
- When aiming at an enemy, the vehicle’s silhouette is also displayed.
RADIO DETECTION MECHANICS. WOT STEEL HUNTER 2020
All special vehicles are equipped with Radio Detection, which displays loot points and enemy tanks on the minimap within its coverage area. To activate it, press the "X" key. But be aware that using Radio Detection will reveal your current position on the minimap at the time of activation to all players within Radar range of your position.
