Crews
The Crew is tied to the vehicle and locked, so you cannot send it to the Barracks, dismiss or change the composition of the perks. The Crew also doesn’t receive Crew XP and has a fixed set of the following perks unified across all machines:
Sixth Sense 
Eagle Eye
It’s impossible to injure the crew members of your vehicle—the First Aid kit is not used in the mode.
Types of Loot
To research your vehicle, you also need to look for treasures and special stationary loot points on the map. When you find yourself at these points, you will be able to collect loot that may contain Battle XP, shells and consumables.
In total, there are 4 types of loot provided:
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Ammunition Contains shells and an amount of Battle XP; also restores Hit Points. |
Consumables Contains consumables and an amount of Battle XP. |
Spoils of War Loot from destroyed vehicles containing all its resources. Spoils of War that still contain loot will be highlighted with red smoke. |
Airdrops The most valuable loot in the mode delivered by air, containing more valuable consumables and a greater amount of Battle XP. Many players will want to get their hands on airdrops, so you'll have to push yourself to the limits to beat the competition. Also, all players can see on their mini-maps where airdrops land. |
In red zones, your vehicle will lose hit points gradually. You will have very little time to leave the red zone.
Your vehicle receives no damage in yellow zones, but remember they can close at any moment. Be ready to retreat!
When you collect an Airdrop, you gain a considerable advantage over enemy vehicles. An Airdrop represents the biggest package with consumables and experience. But remember that all hunters see the location of the Airdrop on their minimaps.
Another hunter is in your Vision Cone! You cannot see enemy vehicles, Spoils of War, or Airdrops that are outside your vehicle's Vision Cone.
You can only detect vehicles that are within the view range of your vehicle's Vision Cone, which extends from the front of your turret.

A hunter that you detected using your Radio. Note that when using detection, you are automatically displayed on the minimap and remain visible to all other players inside the detection radius.
This Loot package contains experience, random consumables, and Recovery. It does not contain shells.
By collecting Loot of this kind, you receive experience, shells, and Recovery. The map provides plenty of these Loot packages, and they can be very useful at the beginning of a battle when your vehicle is at the starting tier.

Radio Detection Mechanics & Accompanying Music
Radio Detection is an exclusive tactical mechanic displaying stationary loot points, as well as enemy tanks, on the mini-map. It is activated manually using the "Lock Hull / Switch Mode key ("X" by default). But beware, using Radio Detection will instantly reveal your current position on the mini-map at the time of activation to all players within the detection radius too.
Fear of the unknown, the atmosphere of suspense, and constant danger are also enhanced by the soundtrack. Musical compositions in the mode reinforce the feeling of a furious chase in which it's unclear whether you are the hunter or the prey. Energetic and instantly memorable melodies encourage you to constantly be in motion and not stop for a second.
Consumables
In the Steel Hunter mode, 4 unique types of consumables are available:
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Turbocharger Temporarily increases the maximum speed and acceleration of the tank |
Recovery Restores a fixed amount of HP |
Target-Tracking Increases aiming speed, gun stabilization and other combat parameters |
Repair Kit Repairs all damaged modules, like Large Repair Kits in Random Battles |
The ammunition of your tank at the start of the event (for Tier I vehicles) consists of eight shells, one Repair Kit, one Turbocharger and one Recovery.
Abilities
In addition to consumables, you can activate global Abilities, including:
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Recovery Zone Creates a temporary zone in which you and your teammates may recover HP |
Airstrike Allows you to attack opponents with bombs falling from an airplane |
Trap Creates a temporary zone in which enemy tanks are slowed down |
Smoke Screen Creates a smoke screen hiding you from enemies |
Progression System
