  • Mastering the different mechanical giants: The fun of Steel Hunters lies in learning and mastering the different Hunters, and making the most effective use of their skill sets and progression systems.
  • Tactics rather than reflexes: Unlike traditional shooter games, it’s not just about reacting quickly, but also understanding your Hunter’s strengths, weaknesses, abilities, recharge times and synergies.
