Metal Thunder Batoteiros

There are a few different cheat tools floating around for Metal Thunder — some more sophisticated than others — and they’ll make you feel like a digital warlord if you use them (responsibly, of course).

Cheat Happens Trainer is the big-name option, stacking 13 different cheats for the Early Access Steam build. You get goodies like Unlimited Ammo—you’ll never have to frantically reload in the middle of a gunfight. There’s also a Mission Timer Over cheat, which basically lets you freeze the ticking clock and take your sweet time. Plus, you can tweak weapon stats: crank up the muzzle velocity, splash zone, fire rate, whatever flavor of overkill you’re after. Heads-up: Your antivirus might freak out over it, so you’ll probably need to disable that temporarily. Also, the trainer needs a manual update every time Metal Thunder gets a patch.

MrAntiFun Trainer takes things a step further with a whopping 42 cheats. That’s right, 42! You can practically become a flying tank: think Unlimited Health, Unlimited Stamina—fall damage and exhaustion are things of the past. Toggle Fly Mode is basically a free pass to soar wherever you want, terrain be damned. Oh, and did I mention One-Hit Kills? Boss fights go from “uh-oh” to “ah, that’s cute.” But you do need to launch through the trainer’s special Play button to sneak around the game’s anti-cheat.

If you’re more of a tinkerer, Cheat Engine lets you get under the hood and directly hack memory values. Fire a shot, search your current ammo count, repeat a few times, and then lock in whatever number makes your day. For those who truly love to break things, you can even swap actual chunks of assembly code—like turning off all reload animations by fiddling with the right geareffects instructions. Warning: heavy geekery required, but the power is intoxicating.

Some of Metal Thunder’s best weapons aren’t available from the start—you have to earn them, and it’s totally worth it.

• M102 Howitzer
  • How do you get it?
    Reach Pilot Level 10 and take down the Darzacan Outpost boss three separate times.
  • Stats?
    It hits for a whopping 850 per shell, and once you hit Pilot Level 15 and snag the splash radius upgrade, you can clear out a small army every shot.
• AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles
  • How do you get these bad boys?
    Collect enough intel fragments from downed drones during the Stormbreaker campaign. It’s an RNG grind, but the payoff is sweet.
  • What’s cool about them?
    Homing missiles with adjustable flight paths—mid-flight tweaks let you “curve the bullet” around obstacles or chase after moving armor. Very satisfying.

Metal Thunder has a few clever winks for fans and scavenger hunters alike.

If you enter the code HAPPYEASTER on the War Thunder promo page during April, you’ll score a playful “Easter Egg” decal for your vehicles. It’s a cute crossover gesture between military sim communities—even if it doesn’t tie into Metal Thunder’s lore directly, it’s a fun little collectible for your hangar.

The AC-130 gunship gameplay? Pretty much a love letter to Call of Duty’s legendary “Death From Above” missions. The devs have cheekily confirmed it in livestreams, even though the game never says it out loud. If you’ve played both, that instant “wait a second…” feeling is no accident.

If you’re into modding or want to see some game-wrecking fun, there’s also a solid Cheat Engine tutorial on YouTube that works perfectly with Metal Thunder and other action sims.

Metal Thunder’s got some quirks that’ll keep you on your toes. A couple bugs stick around even after patches, so here’s what to watch for:

• Infinite Load Screen: If you alt-tab during mission startup, you might get stuck forever on the loading screen. Quick fix: swap your graphics API to DX11 in the launcher (instead of DX12), and you should be good. A permanent fix is promised for a later patch, but who knows when.
• AI Pathfinding Failures: Once in a while, enemy units just freeze on the edge of the map during night missions. If you toggle your night vision off and then on again, it usually snaps them back into motion. It’s almost as if they need a little digital wake-up call.

If you want to actually win and not just look cool in the gunship, you’d better learn which weapons to upgrade—and when.

• Early Game: Don’t sleep on the 30mm cannon. Pour upgrade points into its splash damage (aim for +50% if you can), since it’ll help melt infantry clusters before they even know what hit them.
• Mid Game: Unlock the Gatling gun as soon as you tally up 15 kills. Then, dump points into fire rate for that wonderful stream of hot lead. You’ll drop armored enemy waves way faster.
• Late Game: Got Hellfire missiles? Pair them with thermal vision, lock onto enemy tank engines (not just anywhere), and enjoy the fireworks—one missile, one tank. Simple math.

Resource management is just as key as trigger discipline:

• Drop infantry squads sparingly—they chew up 200 prestige points each, but they’re perfect distractions in a pinch (especially when bosses show up and you need breathing room).
• Save cluster bombs for when those VIP convoys roll in. Target the ones with red icons, and you can wipe out a high-value target with style.

Some missions can be brutal until you learn the flow. Operation Sentinel Peak is a real test of multitasking and fire discipline.

1. Phase 1: Roll in with your 45mm cannon—if you’ve got the +75% splash radius upgrade, it’ll make short work of any enemy group huddled around radar dishes as they spawn.
2. Phase 2: When the mission clock ticks over to 12 minutes, switch on thermal optics and keep eyes on the northwest chokepoint. APCs love to cluster up there, begging for some precision carnage.
3. Final Push: Dump every last prestige point into reinforcing with tanks. While those roll out, sweep the area with Gatling fire to keep infantry off your hardware. Survive this and you’ll land the “Unyielding Watch” achievement on your first try.
