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],{"_16":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:

Attention! My fellow Bounty Hunters,

The Bounty Hunter Association is recruiting now! Abundant rewards await you! Join us now!

The Association provides the following benefits:

Both sides accumulate Power for their own spaceship and compete in a fair shockwave battle to determine who the winner is! This is the recognized way of battle in the LONESTAR Universe, without any surprise attacks!

All hunters who join the Association will receive a free spaceship!

Currently, the Association has two different spaceships to choose from, and the third spaceship is under urgent development and will be deployed soon!

Each spaceship has its own expertise and possesses nearly a hundred exclusive units! (Note: The Association only provides initial units; other units need to be obtained by hunters during their journey.)

As the largest Bounty Hunter organization in the LONESTAR Universe, the Association has dozens of spaceship pilots!

The Association guarantees that each pilot has undergone repeated tests, with unique exclusive skills and a vast array of random talents, ensuring that each hunting experience is unique.

Furthermore, the Association's recruitment work is ongoing, and there will be a continuous influx of new pilots in the future.

The Association strictly adheres to the LONESTAR Universe Labor Protection Act and provides generous vacations for all Bounty Hunters.

Every time you complete a Bounty Mission, the Association will offer a period of paid leave.

During your vacation, you will encounter various unique events, make choices, and obtain resources. So, please enjoy your vacation time!

In the LONESTAR Universe, there are hundreds of different treasures, each with a unique function. Coupled with various exclusive units and different spaceships, such a wide variety of combinations may have left you overwhelmed.

No worries! The Association's Information Center has collected data on most of the units and Treasures in the universe and compiled them into an encyclopedia for your reference! It will undoubtedly assist you in creating a unique build!
