About Firehawk: FPV Drone Shooter
Firehawk: FPV Drone Shooter puts you in the cockpit of combat drones that obey a custom thrust model, so each dive, turn and brake feels like a real FPV craft. Death returns you to base, but the experience you gain lets you expand your arsenal for future runs.
The game offers three distinct experiences: a solo roguelite campaign with persistent base progression, a 2‑4 player co‑op survival mode with endless waves, and up to ten‑player PvP featuring several match types. All modes share the same 23 drones, 42 weapons and 25 gadgets, and run on Windows and macOS with mouse‑keyboard, gamepad or FPV‑radio input.
01 / THE GUIDE
Game Modes
The solo roguelite campaign lets you fly missions, die, and then expand your base before returning stronger, pushing toward a final boss. Time Trial mode uses fixed maps and fixed enemies, records scores on Steam Leaderboards, and lets you use any unlocked drone.
Co‑op Survival scales endless enemy waves for 2 to 4 pilots, adding turrets, hacker drones, elite squadrons and bosses. Online PvP supports up to 10 pilots with Free‑for‑All, Team Deathmatch, Bounty Hunter, Domination and Capture the Flag.
- Try the roguelite campaign first to unlock drones before entering PvP.
- In co‑op Survival, coordinate fire on bosses to end waves more quickly.

Drone Physics & Controls
A custom physics engine models thrust at each rotor, giving drones momentum, drift and realistic braking. Two control schemes are offered: Arcade for mouse‑keyboard or gamepad, and Realistic (full acro) that supports Betaflight rates and FPV‑radio inputs.
Autofire can trigger when the crosshair crosses a target, while manual fire lets you pull the trigger yourself. Both schemes support gamepads, and PvP provides no aim assist or autopilot.
- Test both Arcade and Realistic modes to see which handling matches your input device.
- Use autofire in fast‑paced PvP if you prefer not to press a fire button each shot.
03 / THE GUIDE
Progression & Arsenal
XP unlocks new drones and adds new weapons to the drop pool. The roster includes 23 drones split into light, medium and heavy classes, none declared universally stronger, letting you choose a flight style that fits you.
All unlocked items persist across every mode, so a drone earned in the roguelite campaign can be used in co‑op Survival or PvP matches, and the same weapons and gadgets are available everywhere.
- Balance your unlocks between light and heavy drones to stay adaptable on varied maps.
- Pair weapons that complement your preferred drone class for consistent performance.
04 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer Features
Online PvP allows up to ten pilots with no aim assist or autopilot, meaning each kill depends on throttle, angle and timing. Co-op Survival has friendly fire off, so teammates can shoot freely.
Multiplayer is currently in beta; matchmaking and a dedicated competitive mode are planned. Co‑op Survival scales enemy difficulty for 2‑4 players and includes turrets, hacker drones, elite squadrons and bosses.
- Practice aggressive positioning in PvP since there is no aim assist or autopilot.
- Watch beta updates for when matchmaking becomes available.

Firehawk runs on Windows and macOS and supports mouse‑keyboard, gamepad and FPV‑radio inputs. Controller tags list DualShock, DualSense and Partial Controller Support, and gamepads are recommended.
