About IRON NEST: Heavy Turret SimulatorRead more ▾Collapse ▴
IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator puts you in the gunner's seat of an enormous dieselpunk artillery walker, reading teleprinter orders and loading ballistics by hand rather than running across a battlefield. The guides are built around that unique loop: a beginner's path, the core heavy-turret systems, and how to read firing solutions and elevation, with an elevation calculator for the trickiest shots. Mission walkthroughs cover the campaign in detail — from the convoy haul through The Gorge to counter-battery and Phantom Battery duels and all the endings — plus the best shells for each job. Around the missions, pages cover co-op and multiplayer, Steam Deck, controller support, save files, mods, achievements, and system requirements.
