IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator Wiki
Operate a 5,000-ton dieselpunk turret through map work, calculations, loading, gunlaying, and deliberate firing in an alternate-history 1920s Spain. Start with the beginner route, then move to the specialist hub that fits your current problem.
VERIFIED PRODUCT IDENTITY AND OPERATOR BRIEFING
IRON NEST at a glance
The Steam base game is a first-person heavy-artillery simulator built around tactical map measurement, manual turret operation, ballistic calculation, and deliberate firing. The Steam page advertises 30 ammo types, 100+ medals, and 16 languages, and the game is Steam Deck Verified. These three checkpoints keep a claim honest before you trust it.
Current operation
Use the map, calculator, stations, and firing card as one deliberate sequence. Map, calculation, loading, and gunlaying are covered step by step in the guides.
Open the guide hub →Before you trust a claim
Controls, patches, saves, and menu behavior can depend on the current public build. Check the patch tracker and the observation date on every page.

Build a firing routine you can audit
Read the order
Every fire mission starts at the teletype. Copy the target, bearing, and ammunition exactly — a wrong digit becomes a wrong shell.
Measure on the map
Plot the marked position on the tactical map and turn grid distance into a range the calculator can use.
Calculate the solution
Enter distance, select the shell and powder charges, and confirm the suggested elevation before touching the gun.
Load, lay, and fire
Dispense the exact shell and charges, ram them, set bearing and elevation on the armed gun, then fire and read the impact.

Learn the first firing route
The beginner guide walks a complete first solution: order, map, calculator, loading, laying, and correction.
Solve the map and calculator
Ballistics pages cover the tactical map, triangulation, manual aiming, the firing table, and moving targets.
Plan ammunition and targets
The arsenal hub matches shells to targets, explains loading rules, requisition, abilities, and cards.
Recover a blocked run
Mission and medal pages collect the objectives, endings, and recovery steps players ask about.
THREE HABITS THAT KEEP A SHOT EXPLAINABLE
Three habits that keep a shot explainable
Name the origin
Every fact on this wiki points to a source: the Steam page, a patch note, or a labelled community test. Unverified numbers are marked, not silently used.
Protect the firing card
Record bearing, distance, charges, elevation, and shell for every shot you plan. A written card survives a counter-battery scramble.
Separate fact from inference
A confirmed store fact and a player-reported workaround are different evidence. Each guide labels its confidence level and check date.

FAQ
IRON NEST questions
Is IRON NEST free to play?
No. The base game is $19.99 on Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, and Humble Store, with a 25% launch discount during the first weeks. A free demo was available during Steam Next Fest June 2026.
Does IRON NEST have co-op or multiplayer?
No official co-op or multiplayer exists at launch. The developers have said a separate standalone co-op title is a later project; the current game is strictly single-player.
Is IRON NEST on Game Pass or console?
No. No Game Pass release or console version has been announced as of August 12, 2026.
Is the game hard to learn?
The core loop is deliberate: map, calculation, loading, laying, firing. The beginner guide exists because most players benefit from a written routine before the first mission.
Plan with guides; confirm in the current build
This wiki is maintained by a player, not the developer. Game facts come from the official store pages and dated patch records; gameplay procedures come from tested play sessions. The game updates often — if your build disagrees with a guide, the current build wins.
