The new season of our brutal last-man-standing shooter, “Reincarnation”, changes everything! With the full game reboot comes a new name. A competition awaits, full of bloodshed, promising the fulfillment of all of the winners’ desires. Cuisine Royale is over, and now, it’s time for Cuisine Royale Second Edition - CRSED: F.O.A.D.*
You already know about many of the new features coming to the game in the new season, including a great new map, flamethrowers and mortars, motorboats, the ability to shoot from vehicles, new weapons, radical changes to mystical powers, a new event system, daily challenges and secret missions with new ways to unlock and improve your champions, and rebalanced melee.

Now, two new champions join in on the battles in CRSED, so please welcome!
Louis “Bokor” Celine
During a battle, Louis can summon SMG welding zombies which will follow him and attack any enemy spotted along the way. The maximum amount of zombies that he can summon simultaneously totals three.
The zombies will stay with their master until they are killed or Louis dies. They can follow him anywhere, but are unable to travel in vehicles, so if your champion moves too fast, they will trail him at a walking-pace. If the houngan conducts a new summoning, all his existing zombies will heal and teleport to their master.
Sin "Huli" Yeou-bi
In battle, Yeou-bi can summon a swarm of fireflies which will spread throughout the area in search of enemies. Any enemy which they spot is quickly stuck by the insects, being revealed to others. Those who love ambushes and attic camping, as well as covert maneuvers in the bushes, are going to be unpleasantly surprised.
Heavy sniper rifle
Apart from the other new guns we talked about on previous occasions, snipers now have a new toy to add to their collection: a famous, heavy, semi-auto sniper rifle. Its powerful ammo is inferior only to anti-materiel guns, however superior in terms of its recoil, 10-round magazine, and integrated 10x scope.
You can obtain this beauty of a sniper rifle from an orbital supply drop, so be sure to stock up on those flare guns!
Swimming offroad vehicle
A new car, capable of travelling on water, has made its way into the game. It was built as a hybrid motor boat and all-purpose military car. Good at speeding on rough terrain, and quite stable on water, allowing a decent amount of speed while travelling thereon. It is, however, still far slower when compared to regular motor boats, but this vehicle can prove versalite in many ways to skilled fighters.
New Dark Zone
Zone is also slower to shrink in the beginning of a battle, but will shrink more often towards the end. Naturally, it is still lethal.
New healing process
Changes have been made to the healing process. Now, you do not recover immediately after consuming canned food or other food items, but will regenerate over time thereafter.
New Leagues Season
Leagues Season starts anew with the game season change. Formula to calculate rating is changed: now you get rating points even after you score four average kills per battle. Each average kill before the four-kill mark will get 300 points, beyond it - 100 points. Maximum rating per battle lowered from 600 to 300.
Good luck out there, and enrapture the dark gods by your arena victories!
* F.O.A.D. — Fulfillment Of All Desire — - name of the competition of champions, though some tend to transcribe that abbreviation differently.
