Trenchwalker Mech Hunter Overview
Trenchwalker, also known as Gabriel Sey, earned his moniker from his dedication to aiding the wounded in conflict zones, often traversing battlefields to provide medical assistance. His transformation into a Hunter was driven by his fascination with the substance Starfall and its potential to enhance human capabilities.
In-game, Trenchwalker embodies the role of a battle medic, offering healing support to allies while possessing offensive tools to defend and assist in combat.
Trenchwalker Abilities
- Leech Gun: This ability equips Trenchwalker with a potent firearm that not only inflicts significant damage but also heals him for a percentage of the damage dealt. It's particularly effective against both enemy Hunters and drones, allowing for sustained engagement.
- Hybrid Grenade: Upon impact, this grenade creates a zone that simultaneously heals allies and damages enemies within its radius. Its versatility makes it invaluable for both offensive pushes and defensive retreats.
Recommended Systems
To maximize Trenchwalker's effectiveness, consider integrating the following systems into your loadout:
- Hammer System: Enhances ability power and reduces the cooldown of the Leech Gun and Hybrid Grenade based on damage dealt. This system promotes frequent use of abilities, maintaining pressure on opponents.
- Stimulant Mainframe: Decreases shield recharge time, improves repair kit efficiency, and provides critical resistance when shields are active. This bolsters Trenchwalker's survivability, compensating for his inherently low health and shields.
- Siphon for Leech Gun: Increases the energy capacity of the Leech Gun, allowing for prolonged use. It also reduces the ability's cooldown and energy decay, ensuring Trenchwalker can consistently rely on this vital tool.
- Infection for Hybrid Grenade: Although it has a smaller explosion radius, this modification accelerates the healing rate for allies and applies a lingering damage-over-time effect on enemies who exit the area. Additionally, each healing tick replenishes Leech Gun energy, facilitating extended combat engagements.

How to play Trenchwalker Strategy - Steel Hunters
Given Trenchwalker's limited health pool in Steel Hunters, it's imperative to adopt a supportive role, positioning yourself behind frontline allies. He synergizes exceptionally well with durable Hunters like Ursus or Weaver, whose robust stats allow them to absorb damage while Trenchwalker provides healing support.
Utilize the Leech Gun proactively to deter enemy advances and sustain your health. The mere presence of this ability can make opponents reconsider engaging, granting your team a strategic advantage. Always remain vigilant of the battlefield dynamics, ready to deploy the Hybrid Grenade to heal allies or disrupt enemy formations.
By mastering Trenchwalker's abilities and adopting a strategic approach, you can significantly contribute to your team's success in Steel Hunters.
