Special maps for the “Arena” mode
Hello, survivors!
In the “Steel gladiators” update, we added 3 special maps for the new “Arena” mode. We hope that you have already had a chance to fight in all 3 locations and are ready to choose the best one. Or maybe you enjoy playing all of them the same way?

City pond
A park on the outskirts of the city, destroyed even before the disaster by the forces of the “Shinto” corporation. Specifically for this park, they dug an entire pond with small islands connected by wide wooden bridges. There is also a Sinto shrine located on the nearby hill.
After the disaster, the place was empty for a long time, until the Syndicate finally arrived in the city. Their priorities, however, didn’t include parks and temples, so even they rarely came here. And so, when the Lunatics arrived here, it wasn’t difficult for them to capture this park and establish their “order” there. Previously the most peaceful and quiet corner of the city turned into the Arena for deadly battles.
Defence line
Throughout its history, humanity has not only pushed its progress forward, but also occasionally tried to destroy its own kind. Despite the development of civilization, the echo of previous wars sounded in the ears of each generation. Even after what may have been the last war that Crossout pushed humans into, humanity continued to rip each other’s throats out. One of the traces of the past war is located north of the Bridge, before a small green lowland — an empty defence line with pillboxes.
The hilly terrain of the area provided an excellent defensive and combat environment. There were only two ways out of the lowland, so the Defence line remained unapproachable, and those who attacked it remained in the lowland.
All this turned into a great gift for the Firestarters who founded one of their arenas here. Under their orders, the raiders set up towers around the perimeter for viewers, the richest residents of the Valley. The exits from the lowlands have been mined, depriving the combatants of any chance to escape. Now the battles never stop here. But those who get in here at least have a chance to survive — they need to kill their rival. But now people cannot mute the echo of war, they only want to repeat it.
Power center
When the Ravagers appeared in the Valley for the first time, it gave the survivors access to the old scientific facilities, that the “Red-eyed” have quickly occupied and adapted to their needs. Ashen ring, Ravagers foothold — all these places were liberated by survivors in brutal battles with a common enemy. But as soon as the enemy retreated, the factions immediately turned their guns towards their yesterday’s comrades, trying to capture these pieces of land.
“Power center” has become another place like that as well. But here, one of “farmers” managed to defeat the others and take the territory for themselves. By sheer numbers and insane courage, the Lunatics have conquered the “Power center”, without even clearly deciding why they want to do it. They couldn’t understand the purpose of those technologies and structures here. The only thing they figured out was the “Waderkvarn” inscription inside the spire. But this land was very beneficial for Psycho Pete and turned out to be very useful when arbiter Petrolium decided to arrange his “gladiatorial fights” here.
The massive structures here are believed to be a part of some kind of searching system, consuming enormous masses of energy. The same system includes the Ravagers foothold.
The Lunatics erected observation towers on the remains of the buildings, and they covered the exit from the “Power center” with mines for the competitors. Now the scientific facilities have again become part of the experiment, albeit proven a long time ago. In natural selection, the strongest always survives.
