You pilot the Desert Raptor MKII, a Mech of extraordinary power. It is a highly-customizable battle vehicle that can be equipped with a variety of offensive systems: heavy, high-powered melee weapons, steam powered hydraulic siege weapons, explosive firearms, and more. It can also be equipped with a variety of defensive systems; high-speed thrusters, boosters for dashing, riot shields, among others.

Become a bounty hunter

The Red Expanse is a rich farming and mercantile region plagued by violent criminals and dangerous beasts. The government that remains outsources justice to experts like Clem—bounty hunters who are free to pursue their targets into whatever dangerous corners of the world they hide. She'll fight her way through many corners of the region and deal with these marks as she sees fit.

Repair and upgrade your homestead

Clem comes into an isolated and run-down garage that serves as a suitable base of operations and home—just barely. Build out water and power supply lines, grow and cook food, produce ammunition and fuel for combat, and raise animals. This decrepit ruin has a lot of potential, but it will have to grow alongside Clem.","background_raw","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1497430/75bc8838ea4096544368299747366285bcaa6013/page_bg_raw.jpg?t=1761224385","package_groups",[239],{"_12":240,"_241":242,"_255":256,"_257":228,"_27":228,"_258":153,"_259":260,"_261":262},"default","subs",[243],{"_244":119,"_245":246,"_247":97,"_248":153,"_249":228,"_250":112,"_251":252,"_253":254},"packageid","option_text","Bounty Star - 23,49€ 21,14€","is_free_license","percent_savings","option_description","can_get_free_license","percent_savings_text","-10% ","price_in_cents_with_discount",2114,"title","Buy Bounty Star","save_text","display_type","selection_text","Select a purchase option","is_recurring_subscription","false","price_overview",{"_265":254,"_266":267,"_268":269,"_270":271,"_272":273,"_274":275},"final","initial",2349,"currency","EUR","final_formatted","21,14€","discount_percent",10,"initial_formatted","23,49€","capsule_imagev5","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1497430/a61d73f03294e4667afbc729a41fa82320465825/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1761224385","pc_requirements",{"_280":281,"_282":283},"minimum","Minimum:
