Getting Started
New to the desert planet? Start with our Getting Started Guide to learn the basics of movement, combat, and class selection. This beginner-friendly walkthrough covers everything you need to know before your first Titan encounter.

Ironsand features over 14 weapon types including plasma rifles, laser cannons, rocket launchers, and sniper systems. Our Weapons Guide breaks down every weapon category with damage stats, optimal ranges, and recommended builds for each class.
For players who want to maximize their damage output, check out our Best Builds Guide which covers the most powerful loadouts for Engineer, Medic, Defender, and Berserker classes.
Titan Boss Strategies
Each Titan is a lethal war machine with unique weaponry and combat patterns. Our Titan Boss Guide provides detailed strategies for every Titan encounter, including weak points, attack patterns, and recommended squad compositions.
Maps and Locations
Ironsand launched with three distinct operations: a desert forward push, a defensive Arena where a cannon must charge, and the Depths — a dark maze of lava and radioactive mutants. Layouts partially reshuffle after each death. Our Maps Guide explains objectives, enemy types, Long-Eared rescues, and how to play each location.
Enemies and Factions
The Cult of the Iron God occupies the planet with drones, cyborgs, and Titans. Arakh beetles and radioactive mutants show up on specific operations. Rescue the Long-Eared and they fight with you. The Enemies Guide covers matchups, elements, and what we refuse to invent.
