Steel Hunter Evolution: Taking the Next Step

Steel Hunter, the much-loved battle royale mode, continues to grow and develop. Evolution is its latest iteration, which combines the features of both Reborn and Classic. From November 13 through November 20, access the mode via the selector and survive against all odds in eight event vehicles by respawning, using special loot, and giving your vehicle field upgrades. Face 14 other tankers (or nine other two-person Platoons) on a battlefield that is constantly shrinking, and prevail!

Steel Hunter: Evolution

From November 13 at 08:00 through November 20 at 03:00 (UTC+8)

Daily Ceasefire:

02:00 – 08:00 (UTC+8)

 
 

Familiar Features

From Classic:

  • Conical field of view: Enemies can only be spotted from afar in the 120° sector in front of a player’s vehicle (compared to 90° in Classic). Consider this when sneaking up on an opponent or trying to prevent them from doing the same. Proximity spotting works, but only at very close range.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
RED: CLOSED ZONE

In a closed zone, your vehicle will receive continuous damage. You will have little time to leave a red zone.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
YELLOW: ZONE CLOSING SOON

In a yellow zone, your vehicle does not receive damage. But beware: Yellow zones can close, so pay attention to a special countdown that indicates how much time you have before it turns into a red zone. Think about your escape routes.

Airdrops

The most valuable type of loot. Contains a larger amount of Battle XP, restores HP, and repairs modules. Provides ammo and one charge for each of the four Abilities. Replenishes a spent Respawn charge.

Vision Cone

Enemies can be spotted from afar only in the 120° sector in front of a player’s vehicle.

Enemy Within View Range

Another Hunter entered your view range! Note: Enemy vehicles and loot points only become visible when they are within your view range.

Marauders

AI-driven enemy models that are weaker opponents than real players. Destroy them to get additional Battle XP and loot. There are three different types of Marauders: Hares, Wolves, and Bears.

Airdrops

The most valuable type of loot. Contains a larger amount of Battle XP, restores HP, and repairs modules. Provides ammo and one charge for each of the four Abilities. Replenishes a spent Respawn charge.

Radio Detection. This system displays loot and enemy vehicles on the minimap. To activate Radio Detection, use the X key. You can increase the detection radius or reduce the system's cooldown by researching the corresponding technologies in battle. Remember that activating Radio Detection reveals your position to enemies within Radio Detection range of your position.

From Reborn:

  • Solo Respawns: You have one respawn at the start of battle, which can be used during the first 5 minutes of the fight. You can recharge the respawn ability with Airdrops, but you are always limited to a single charge.
  • Reviving Platoonmates: During the first 8 minutes of battle, you have two respawns per Platoon. Stay out of combat for 10 seconds to activate one. After 8 minutes, the charges cannot be used or gained from loot.
  • Marauders: These AI-controlled enemies roam the battlefield. Defeating them gets you larger rewards than before. You will encounter stronger types of Marauders as the fight progresses (more Bears, and fewer Wolves and Hares).
  • Improved auto-aim (the same as on high-tier French wheeled vehicles): Works for each event vehicle.
  • AP shells: All the event vehicles have them as their standard rounds. 
  • APCR shells: All the event vehicles have them as their special rounds.
  • Matchmaking: Skill-based for battles of 15 solo players.

New and Modified Features

  • Abilities: The chance that they drop from Supplies increases as the battle goes on.
  • XP: You get less XP for causing damage and more from Spoils of War (destroyed enemies).
  • Spoils of War: Along with giving you an increased amount of XP, they speed up your abilities’ recharge significantly.
  • Danger Zone countdown: Displayed when you are in the Danger Zone; shows how much time you have before it turns into a Destruction Zone. 
  • Leavers: Players who desert battle get no economic rewards.
  • Vehicle upgrade tier: You can now see it over any vehicle you encounter (switch this option on manually in the settings).
  • Victory screen: It has been updated. Win the armored battle royale to see it!
