About Cleared Hot
Cleared Hot is a physics‑driven helicopter shooter that blends arcade shooting with light tactical choices. Players pilot one of eight helicopters, using rockets, a rope, and a magnet to move objects, enemies, and missiles across the battlefield.
The single‑player campaign spans three biomes—Desert, Jungle, Arctic—with day and night missions. Customizable loadouts and a wide range of physics‑based enemy vehicles create emergent situations that reward creative use of the environment.
01 / THE GUIDE
Physics Interaction
Any object that isn’t tied down can be grabbed with the rope or magnet, letting you lift vehicles, enemies, or missiles and reposition them as you see fit.
The physics engine produces ragdoll effects and realistic trajectories, so rockets can send foes flying and thrown objects follow weight‑dependent arcs.
- Test objects of different sizes to notice how weight changes throw distance.
- Observe how redirected missiles travel after being caught with the magnet.
02 / THE GUIDE
Helicopter Choices
Eight distinct helicopters are available, and loadouts are customizable for the mission at hand, with tools like rockets, a rope, and a magnet.
Loadout selection influences how you approach objectives, whether assaulting bases, defending positions, or focusing on object manipulation.
- Prioritize rope‑heavy loadouts for missions with many movable objects.
- Choose rocket‑focused loadouts when confronting heavily armored enemy vehicles.
03 / THE GUIDE
Biome Variety
The campaign includes three biomes—Desert, Jungle, Arctic—each with its own visual theme and terrain features that affect movement and object availability.
Day and night missions appear across the campaign, altering visibility and ambience, which can influence how you spot enemies and plan routes.
- Run a short sortie in each biome to note which objects can be manipulated.
- Compare day versus night missions to see how lighting changes enemy detection.
04 / THE GUIDE
Enemy Vehicles
Enemy forces include tanks, jeeps, technicals, anti‑air turrets, boats, and fighter jets, all reacting to your attacks with physics‑based behavior.
These vehicles can be destroyed, lifted, or redirected, giving you multiple tactical options during combat.
- Test lifting a tank versus a jeep to see how size influences handling.
- Try redirecting a heat‑seeking missile toward an enemy vehicle for surprise damage.
05 / THE GUIDE
Squad Management
You can transport and position your squad to capture enemy territory or defend your own base, making deployment a key part of objectives.
Squads are transported and deployed by helicopter, and losing too many squad members along the way can hinder mission progress.
- Experiment with placing squads on static ground versus moving platforms to gauge survivability.
- Observe how quickly squads recover after being dropped from height.
