Witch Hunt is back! Special test server

This fall will be painted with especially bright colours because the traditional special event “Witch Hunt” will be held in the style of the Day of the Dead!

Every year, Ivy XO transforms into the Witch from the Valley to arrange a feast for everyone (and at the same time clear the area of tricky treats). And this time she decided to slightly change the subject of the event. Trusted people say that this decision was influenced by her personal meeting with the mysterious Catrina — the ghost that lives in the Wasteland. Who knows if this really happened, but as a result, the survivors received many colourful decorations for the holiday.

This year changes will be made to the brawl itself. Ivy and the Engineers added special skulls to the maps to make chasing balls even more interesting. Most of them work in your favour, but some should be left well alone. You can test your luck, but you will only see the result after you pick up the bonus. The battle is now personally observed by Ivy herself who encourages the participants.

Winter is coming — it's time to light the fire of the Witch Hunt, survivors!

Please note that as part of this testing battles on the map Valley of the Dead will take place in the format of standard PvP battles.

What can you expect in the Witch's Cauldron this year?

Decor “Mexican guitar”

  • Rarity: rare
  • Increases combat reputation gain by 2%

Decor “Taco”

  • Rarity: legendary
  • Increases combat reputation gain by 4%

Decor “Feathered serpent”

  • Rarity: epic
  • Increases combat reputation gain by 3%

Epic paint “Leaf fall”.

You will be able to see the updated “Valley of the Dead” map very soon as part of a public test server. The following changes will also be available for testing:

Weapons

Pulse Accelerator “Scorpion”

“Scorpion” no longer ignores the penetration value of frames.

The physical models of the following weapons have been changed:

  • Cannon “Avenger 57mm”
  • Cannon “Little Boy 6LB”
  • Cannon “ZS-34 Fat Man”
  • Cannon “Executioner 88 mm”
  • Cannon “ZS-46 Mammoth”
  • Cannon “BC-17 Tsunami”
  • Cannon “CC-18 Typhoon”
  • Grenade launcher “AGS-55 Impulse”
  • Grenade Launcher “Retcher”
  • Plasma gun “Pulsar”
  • Flamethrower “Firebug”
  • “Mandrake” Howitzer
  • Pulse Accelerator “Scorpion”

Developer comment: We continue to work on updating the physical models of rotating weapons. Now the physical models of the listed weapons are smaller, follow the rotation of the barrels correctly and correspond more to their visual models. Note that changes in the physical models can lead to the need to reassemble some of your armoured vehicles.

The visual model of the following guns has been changed:

  • Minigun “MG13 Equalizer”
  • ‘Reaper’ minigun
  • Shotgun “Sledgehammer”
  • Grenade Launcher “Retcher”
  • Cannon “ZS-46 Mammoth”

Crafting parts

Changed the recipes of all “rare” parts:

  • Reduced the number of required “common parts”.
  • Increased the required amount of scrap metal.
  • Please note that the change only affects crafting parts at faction workbenches.

Special challenges

Please note that special challenges related to the “Experiment” mode will be available until October 24 on all platforms. After that we will replace them with special challenges for the Halloween event after the next update. Hurry up and get your unique stickers!

Interface

  • Pressing the “Battle” button in the garage will automatically launch the mission “Get the scrap metal!” or the last mode in which you participated. To open the world map and select another mode, press the “Select mode” button (under the "Battle" button). 

Developer comment: Please note that we are currently conducting random testing of the updated interface, so some players may still have the old functionality of the “Battle” button. This is not a bug.

  • Now, when you hover over some of the patches, you can see which parts to use to get them.

  • New patches added:
    • Machine Gun Mastery 5
    • Shotgun Mastery 5
    • Cannon Mastery 5
    • Crossbow Mastery 3
    • Special Weapon Mastery 3
  • Added new trials and banner backgrounds for completing them:
    • Machine guns: legend
    • Shotguns: Legend
    • Cannons: Legend
    • Crossbows: Expert
    • Special Weapons: Veteran
    • Special Weapons: Expert
  • Added new medals and rewards for receiving them in the form of themed portraits:
    • Knechte treasurer
    • Halloween zillionaire

How to get to the test server?

If you have already participated in testing on a special server, then it will be enough to start the Launcher from the folder with the test client and wait for the update to complete.

  • Create a new folder for the game on your hard drive.
  • Download the Launcher from this link. The file name should not contain numbers indicating that the file is a duplicate. Please note that you should launch the file that does not contain any digits (1), (2), etc. in its name. If, when starting the installed launcher, you get to the live game servers, you need to delete all downloaded launchers from the download folder and try again.
  • Start the Launcher and install the game to the folder you created (for example D:\Public test\Crossout).
  • After the installation is complete, start the Launcher and enter the game with your username and password.
  • The whole progress of your main account will be transferred to the main server (including parts in storage and levels of reputation in factions).
  • After logging into the server, to transfer progress from your account, press the “Esc” key and select “Copy account data”.
  • Please note the schedule of the test server:
    • Friday, October 18, 2019: from 13:00 to 19:00 (GMT time)
    • Saturday, October 19, 2019 from 15:00 to 18:00 (GMT)
    • Sunday, October 20, 2019 from 15:00 to 18:00 (GMT)
  • Any progress you make on the test server will not be transferred to the live game servers (INCLUDING ATTEMPTS TO BUY PACKS).

After testing the changes, we invite you to leave your constructive feedback on the planned rework in THIS THREAD (it will open a bit later after the launch of the test server).

You can report all issues found on the test server here.

The public test server is intended only for testing of the upcoming update, and may not accommodate all players without exception. However, absolutely anyone can join the server, as long as there are free spots.
