Raid briefing

The machines endure. So do you.

Drop into Wirehaven, a stylized metropolis run by machines. Loot gear, outgun hunter drones and massive machine bosses, face other players who want your backpack, and reach the extraction point alive, or lose everything you carried in.

DUSTWIRE is a third-person extraction shooter set in a bright, overgrown city that the machines have taken over. Deploy solo or with your squad, grab what you can, and get out before the city gets you. Or before another player does.

Every raid is a risk

• Deploy into Wirehaven solo, duo or trio.
• Loot weapons, ammo, armor and supplies from the streets, buildings and fallen players.
• Call extraction and survive until you are out. Die, and the gear you carried in is gone.
• Protect one item (not a weapon) in your Safe Pocket. Choose wisely.

Machines that hunt you

Hunter drones scan the streets and call in reinforcements, spider swarms rush you through the trees, and every boss fights its own way.

Other players are the real threat

Every squad in the raid wants the same loot. Ambush them in the corridors, snipe them from across the block, take their gear, and then make it to extraction with it.

Build your look and your loadout

• Outfits, headwear, facewear and accessories from the City Character Collection.
• Assault rifles, pistols and sniper rifles, with sights, magazines and muzzles to fit.
• Craft supplies between raids.

The studio

Two brothers and a city full of machines

Strange Picnic is an independent studio run by two brothers. Matheus, Lead Artist and Environment Designer, builds the look of Wirehaven: the neon grids, the overgrown parks and the machines that patrol them.

The team is opening DUSTWIRE to players early, starting with a free Steam Playtest in December, and building the game toward Early Access with its community on Discord.
