Crossout Update 0.3.6

Survivors! This update brings you fire damage, battle log, a new container, as well as many balance changes.

Fire Damage

Veteran container

  • Introduced a new container awarded to players upon reaching reputation level 10 with Engineers. 
  • Contains a random ‘blue’ item except for tracks and wheels.

• The log contains no more than the 8 most recent battles.
