Cargo Hunters (v0.26.36.55)

Earth’s abandoned cities become hunting grounds in a tense third-person extraction shooter where every useful object may be worth risking your chassis for. Cargo Hunters casts you as a remotely operated humanoid machine sent into a planet broken by disease, climate disaster, and the departure of humanity’s elite to off-world colonies. The people who remain, if any, live among wreckage, infected threats, and scavengers chasing remnants of a civilization that no longer values its own past. Its mood is bleak and methodical rather than power-fantasy heroic: survival depends on knowing when to fight, when to hide, and when to leave with whatever you can carry.

Each expedition revolves around entering dangerous zones, searching for valuables and components, dealing with hostile enemies, and reaching safety before a bad encounter wipes out your haul. Combat supports different approaches through firearms, ammunition choices, weapon attachments, and ballistic behavior, while stealth offers an alternative to turning every ruin into a firefight. Inventory management matters as much as aim, since heavy equipment limits mobility and carrying room, while loud weapons may attract more trouble than they solve. Back at shelter, recovered materials feed crafting, repairs, and upgrades; defeat carries severe consequences, stripping away the gear you brought and making even a modest extraction feel meaningful.

The robot protagonist gives the game its strongest identity, combining battered human clothing and armor with swappable limbs, salvaged enemy parts, and practical mechanical upgrades. That modular system makes loadouts feel personal, whether you build for resilient close-range fighting, cautious scavenging, or a lighter stealth-focused run. Rather than offering a fixed scripted route, Cargo Hunters leans on the friction between limited resources, changing danger, and the constant temptation to grab one more valuable item. Players who enjoy the pressure of extraction shooters such as Hunt: Showdown or Escape from Tarkov, but prefer PvE survival over competitive encounters, are the natural audience; newcomers should be ready for punishing losses and deliberate preparation.
