Greetings, Commanders!
We are delighted to be part of Steam Next Fest this year starting from now! If you haven't already, we would love it if you played our demo and shared your feedback here on Steam and in Discord.
Today’s briefing covers the Steelhawk, a precision-focused Ballistic Class mech designed for long-range eliminations. Manufactured by Sebika Ballistics, this mech wields a colossal sniper rifle capable of striking your targets from extreme distances. With an increased chance to deal critical hits, the Steelhawk is the perfect choice for those who favour high-impact, calculated shots over sustained fire.
KEY STATISTICS
The Steelhawk is a precision powerhouse, built for long-range combat and high-damage critical hits. As a Ballistic Class mech, it specializes in single, devastating shots rather than rapid-fire engagements. With a long Weapon Range, it can strike enemies from afar, making it ideal for picking off key targets before they can retaliate.
Its increased Critical Chance sets it apart, giving it a much higher probability of landing devastating critical hits. However, with moderate Health, the Steelhawk isn’t built for direct engagements. Its low Fire Rate means every shot must count, as it lacks the sustained output of other mechs. Commanders should focus on maintaining distance, using cover, and prioritizing targets to maximize its lethality on the battlefield.
ABILITY PAIRINGS
The Steelhawk excels when paired with abilities that enhance its positioning, survivability, or battlefield control.
Archie Miller – Mech Jet: The added mobility of Mech Jet allows the Steelhawk to quickly reposition, reaching vantage points that maximize its High Ground Damage bonus. Whether escaping threats or securing the perfect sniping spot, this ability ensures the Steelhawk remains a dominant force at long range.
Jan Novak – Deploy Mines: The Steelhawk benefits greatly from Deploy Mines to secure its surroundings. Place your mines near chokepoints or along flanking routes helps prevent enemies from closing the gap, keeping the Steelhawk free to focus on precision eliminations.
Emilia Rochefort – Mechano-arm: The Steelhawk’s moderate health make sustain important for prolonged engagements. Mechano-arm provides vital repairs, allowing the mech to maintain its position and continue dealing devastating critical hits without needing to retreat too often.
This intel should aid in your strategic deployment of the Steelhawk, Commander! When utilized effectively, it becomes an invaluable asset for long-range support, delivering precise and devastating strikes from a safe distance. Keep an eye out for further reports on the remaining mech models.
