Steep Gameplay: “Fail” to score big

Since the invention of ragdoll physics, we've known that one player's "failure" is often another's fun. Even players who slam face-first into boulders and land every trick upside-down will be rewarded for their efforts. And if you get a bigger kick out of seeing your avatar tumble down a cliff than you do out of landing a successful stunt, then the Bone Collector playstyle is your perfect match.

Like the other five playstyles, Bone Collector organically awards you points and progression whenever you do something that fits in with its aesthetics. In this case, that means crazy, adrenaline-fueled actions, like careening down the mountain, getting smashed up in creative ways, and racking up near-misses at high speeds without wiping out.





Bone Collector is more than just courageous descents from the highest peaks, though, and if you're serious about following this style, you'll want to seek out the black-label challenges scattered across the mountains. These go beyond high-risk activities, involving moves like weaving through narrow openings in transmission towers in a wingsuit, or just flopping downhill. This is a style for players motivated by curiosity and improvised stunts, who play games to test the limits, and who not only scoff at risk, but embrace it! And if it's your primary style, it'll mark you as a true daredevil (or possibly a YouTuber…).

Hurtling down the face of the mountain as a Bone Collector is just one way to explore the vast open world of Steep. Whether you're after precision, tricks, exploration, or all of the above, you'll be able to earn points and progress through Steep's sprawling narrative on your own terms.
