We have lost everything. Somehow we keep on moving.
Cargo Hunters is a third-person extraction PvE shooter in which you control a remote-controlled humanoid robot to scavenge resources on a decaying Earth.
Collect and lose loot. Build your shelter. Face challenges. Battle enemies. Fall. Rise. Survive no matter how you define survival.
A forgotten home.
After the global temperature rise, mankind faced the emergence of superviruses released from the melting Antarctic ice. Within a few years, they wiped out everything that moved, grew, or breathed.
Those with wealth or power escaped the dying Earth, fleeing to [classified] during the 'Second Exodus' colonization program in [classified]. Just before the first outbreak. Now they’re paying a ton of money to get their shiny, useless memorabilia back.
Escape before it's too late.
It’s all about you and how you get the job done. Brute force, sneak, steal, craft, buy, find. Do what you will.
But once you lose, you lose everything you’ve found. So think carefully. Equip pragmatically.
Carrying capacity, weight, noise, condition—everything matters.
The world’s dead. The loot isn’t.
You already have a human-shaped body. So wear human clothes or armor. Use their weapons. Add replaceable limbs. Dismember the fallen. Harvest their body parts. Recycle what’s unnecessary. That is the daily routine.
Choose your weapons wisely.
A lot of firearms brings a lot of trouble (and fun). Different specs, ballistics, conditions, ammo types, modifications, and handling.
So it’s up to you: what do you prefer? Blunt force, maybe? Huh.
So welcome home, hunter.
Let’s begin our aimless, ever-changing, merciless journey together. This cruel no-man’s homeland awaits.
But for whom?
