About The Salt Mine 3
The Salt is worth stealing. Getting it home is the hard part.
Pick from nine heroes in a third-person fantasy action game. Blast a rival off a bridge with Vessa’s powder keg, slip behind enemy lines as Lyra, or keep a friend standing with Orin’s alchemy. A well-timed ability can swing the fight.
Fight for the objective
- Capture the Salt — steal the rival team’s Salt and find a way home while your teammates cover your escape.
- Push the Cart — fight over a shared mine cart and drive it toward your team’s lift.
- War for the Vein — take mines and outposts, break through the defenses, and storm the enemy fortress in a 12v12 battleground.
Meet in Saltwake
Regroup in the village, follow the road into the Vale for quests, or head into the Lantern Vault with your crew. Fight through its chambers and take on the Saltwarden together.
Bring friends or queue on your own. AI heroes can fill empty battleground slots. Windows PC and internet connection required.
