Hello, survivors!
The “Frostbite Assault” season isn’t over yet, and we’re eager to make something new for you. So we decided to add a little, just a liiiiitle FIRE. Welcome to the new season called “Firestarters strike back”! This is serious. Odegon will not forgive any jokes. And you can’t insult her, the Wasteland won’t survive another cataclysm.
Let’s take a look at what awaits you in this update.
Increased size of teams in missions
Console players have only recently received the ability to fight on a common battlefield, so we decided to take it a step further. Now, survivors from all platforms can participate in 32 vs 32 battles. We’re not sure your mind can handle it, but nothing can stop us now!
A common queue for armoured cars and armoured aircraft
To evaluate the scale of the new battles, we removed all the “armoured cars only” modes. Now, armoured cars and armoured aircraft will ALWAYS fight together. We advise you to look at the weather map and look up at the sky before you go into battle.
Crossplay for PC
Crossplay is cool, for sure. But we’ve received a lot of questions like: “What about PC? Will there be crossplay for this platform?” And now we can say: “Yes”! Through complex calculations and unique solutions, we were able to add the possibility of crossplay between Steam Deck and ASUS Rog Ally. We don’t really know why.
New Lucky paws prize drawing options
You have highly praised the “Wasteland of Wonders” promotion, where you could win valuable prizes for the earned “Lucky paws”. We have decided to expand the pool of prizes and in the near future, the prize drawing will include bans for 1, 3, 7 and 14 days. If you’ve been hooked by the game and all this time you’ve wanted to touch the grass, this prize drawing is perfect for you. And if you lose, you’ll have to play again: while others are banned, you have to level up.
Lucky paws in clan modes
Also in this update, we decided to find another use for the paws. Now players will be able to spend them in Clan Wars as well. The mechanics are simple: each player sends Lucky paws to a common team pool. Whichever team collects the most Paws this way wins the match. We are confident that this change will make Clan Wars more accessible to all players.
Friendly game.
The newcomers say that our game is not very friendly towards them. We have analyzed their feedback, and now we expect that Crossout will be much friendlier for them. For this purpose, we changed the names of certain game modes: “Raid” became “Cutie little raid”, “Patrol” became “Sweet patrol”, and the modes “Get the scrap metal!”, “Get the wires!” and “Get the batteries!” turned into “Get the cute scrap metal!”, “Get the cute wires!” and “Get those little sweet batteries!”. Also, just in case, the “Clan wars” mode was renamed to “Sandbox scuffle”. This is only the first step, in the future we can change the names of the parts as well if you like these changes.
Balance change
Every day we receive numerous messages from you where you say that balance needs to be corrected. It’s just impossible to avoid these comments. After much thought and speculation as to why you don’t like it, we have finally managed to find the perfect option to solve this problem.
Here’s what the Balance used to look like:
And this is what it looks like now:
We hope that you are now satisfied.
Parser
We revert all changes applied to the “Parser” shotgun to the state when it first appeared in the game.
- Durability increased from 290 to 320 pts.
- Reload time reduced from 2.8 sec. to 2 sec.
- The time to fully charge a shot reduced from 1.5 sec to 1 sec.
- The time to hold a full charge before firing increased from 1.5 sec to 2 sec.
- Added the ability to purchase weapons in the in-game store for crosscrowns.
Community manager’s comment: one of our coworkers has been screaming about Parser being imbalanced for so long that we decided to bring it back to its original state so he would stop screaming and finally reach level 30.
Comment of the lead developer: Alright, I’m going to code it.
Crossout merch store
Always wanted to wear merch with your favourite character? Or even cuddle with this very character while you sleep? We believe that dreams should come true, so we’re opening our own merch store! We won’t spoil the surprise and won’t tell you about the entire selection we have for you just yet, but at the very least you'll be able to purchase a dakimakura with Scar AB! How can you resist something like that?
You will be able to see all this beauty and buy it in all shopping malls around the Wasteland in 2055.
To brighten up your wait, we are giving all players a gift when they enter the game — 1 unit of Engineers badges, Scrap Metal, Copper, Wires, Plastic, Electronics, Batteries and Uranium ore!
