From August 26 through September 16, World of Tanks will host a large-scale game event—Steel Hunter. This is one of the most unusual and outstanding modes we've created to date, with heaps of rewards and brand-new core gameplay mechanics. We’re sure you'll enjoy it, so read up on all the details of this event!

Steel Hunter 26 August 2019, 09:00 UTC – 16 September 2019, 02:00 UTC

Brief Summary

In Steel Hunter, it's every tanker for themselves! The battles involve 20 (when playing in solo mode) or 21 (when playing in a Platoon of three) players. Your main goal is to survive at all costs, while looting spawned treasures and escaping Danger Zones in a timely fashion. At the end of the battle, there should be only one Commander or one victorious Platoon left on the battlefield.

In the Steel Hunter game event, you can also:

Upgrade your vehicle during the battle

Loot destroyed vehicles

Pick up Airdrops—the most valuable in-game loot

Use unique combat consumables to change the outcome of the battle

Spot enemies via a new Vision/Aiming Mechanics system

Detect adversaries and treasures with a brand-new mechanic— Radio Detection

In this mode, we've implemented a fundamentally new system of visibility aiming—find out all about it below
