Snowstorm in Crossout!

The New Year comes to Crossout! And with it, the Snowstorm. Take part in festive missions and get special Crackers! This time Scavengers brought fireworks and stickers. Scar Santa is ready to exchange valuable (to him) Crackers for special New Year decor, stickers and fireworks!

Attention! The event will end on January 6 at 0:00 GMT.

New brawl ‘Christmas Heist’

The scoundrel Gronch hates holidays. He stole a pack of gifts and a Christmas tree to solemnly destroy it. Your task is to get into his den, save the tree, return the presents and teach Gronch a lesson.

• With the beginning of the brawl Survivors need to get to the gate in the lair of the evil Gronch, fighting off his arrogant minions.
• The henchmen of Gronch will try to destroy the stolen Christmas tree, which you need to protect by any means!
• Survivors must find stolen gifts and return them to the point of evacuation.
• Gronch will not tolerate such a brash intrusion!Evacuate enough gifts and get ready to face the Christmas kidnapper face to face!

Attention! ‘Christmas Heist’ is a PvE brawl where players battle with raiders.

Lost and Found Explosives

Added a new temporary resource — Crackers. Created in the distant 2017 for the celebration of the New Year. They have long lost the ability to explode, but some benefit from them can be extracted until the Snowstorm is over.

New Year's Garage

To experienced survivors — a beautiful New Year's garage! Our engineers decorated the hangar for the winter holidays. In the hangar, they installed a Christmas tree and snowmen from old tyres. Cozy, warm, festive!

New Year's pack ‘Frostburn’

Attention! The pack releases in Japan on December 19th. In other regions it will become available in PlayStation Store on December 21st.

The pack includes:

• Unique armored car ‘Icebreaker’;
• Unique cabin: ‘Icebox’ of epic rarity;
• Heavy cabin.Gives 11 energy pts.
• Tonnage: 9000 kg
• Weight limit: 19000 kg.
• Structure: 455 pts.
• Unique feature: ‘Damage for weapons with limited rotation angles is increased by 10%’.
• Unique weapon - 2 frontal machine guns ST-M26 Tackler of epic rarity
• Power consumption - 3 pts.
• Structure: 205 pts.
• Limited firing angles.
• Unique feature: ‘Has increased resistance to damage.This perk does not work when shooting.’
• Modules: engine ‘Razorback’, ‘Weapon cooler’;
• Unique hero portrait: ‘Jack Frost’;
• Paint cans: Cold flame, Material: Aluminum;
• Maximum number of parts increased to 55;
• 2100 in-game coins.

Jack is one of the last representatives of the Frost sect — a small closed commune, that held its cold rituals even before the disaster. A few years ago, the sect ceased to exist — one of its own could not stand the stress and burned down his native village. Nobody knows who it was, so the remaining Frost survivors are hunting each other.
As if atoning for some crimes, Jack tries very hard to be kind to ordinary people and give them gifts: he may bring a severed raider head, or make a necklace from teeth.
But both children and adults avoid him for some reason. So Jack has to wander the wasteland, in search of those he can make happy.

Unique cabin: ‘Icebox’ of the epic rarity in the set:

These cabins used to be a key attribute in the rituals of the Frost sect. Inside, they maintained sub-zero temperatures and played loud, dramatic music. But if you throw out all that is superfluous, there is enough room for armor and additional equipment.

Game Modes

New mode ‘Bedlam’

Looking for a place where you can ‘blow off steam’ and relax from the harsh and intense battles? Or do you want to stir some chaos with friends in the most unthinkable crafts? Crush, fly, spin! Just have fun, because this is a real ‘Bedlam’!

• The mode is indicated on the map with a knuckles-shaped icon.
• Maximum number of players on the map: 16.
• All players on the map are your enemies (even if you joined the battle as part of a group).
• Players can join the battle at any time and leave at any time.
• Unlimited number of respawns.
• There are no win conditions, rewards or a PS-based matchmaking system. Therefore, unless you join as part of a group, you are in real trouble and you can expect anything.
• Players don't receive patches in Bedlam mode.

General

• Changed conditions for all tasks (seasonal, daily, etc).
• Now to make sure a task's progress counts, players need to complete the minimum requirements for receiving the reward in battle.

Brawls

General

• The mechanics of receiving a monthly reward for participating in brawls has been changed
  • At this point in the game there is a monthly reward for participating in the scuffles.To obtain it you need to take part in a certain number of battles in the "Brawls" step by step, collect fragments of the award and exchange them for a reward.
  • From January 1, 2018, the mechanics will be changed, and the reward will be weekly. To receive the reward, the player will need to take places from 1 to 4 in the scuffle for 9 weeks.
• A new award for the successful fulfillment of the conditions: "Container of the prospector".

Race

• The base amount of reputation received after the scuffle, changed to 1000 points.

Storm warning

• The number of reputation points received for every second after the storm started has been changed to 5.

Big black scorpions

• The basic amount of scrap received from the scuffle was changed to 32 units.

We strive to make Brawls and Missions equally effective ways of obtaining reputation points and resources. Brawls are fun modes — each with its own unique gameplay. This is their advantage over the usual battles.

Reputation gain and leveling factions

Factions

• The amount of reputation required for a level-up in some factions has been revised.
  • In the Engineers faction, the total amount of reputation needed to level the fraction from level 1 to level 30 is reduced by 20%.In this regard, we recalculated the reputation requirements from rank 14 to rank 30.
  • Now the total amount of reputation required for levelling advanced fractions (Lunatics, Nomads, and Scavengers) from level 1 to level 15, is reduced by 10%.

Reputation calculation

• Changed the mechanics of calculating reputation from battles.
• Previously, in each mode, there was a limit for reputation gain.Points earned beyond the limit were not taken into account.
• Now all modes have a soft limit.Before reaching this limit, 1 point, earned in battle = 1 point of reputation. After exceeding it, all points earned above the limit are recalculated taking the coefficient into account.
• Now every point earned in any mode affects your final reward.

Missions

New mission ‘Practice’

During training in close to combat conditions, the Engineers fight against battle-worn cars with remote control modules. Only the particularly ‘distinguished’ Engineers are sent to control such cars remotely as an educational measure. Perhaps, that's why they do not spare their opponents at all, while they serve their sentence in training. But after the disaster, for drivers who want to improve their skills or try out a new armored car, this is the best alternative to fighting a real opponent.

• ‘Practice’ is an alternative to PvP missions for players who want to hone their skills against computer opponents.
• Players fight in one team against a team of remotely controlled cars.
• From reputation levels 1 to 3 inclusive with the ‘Engineers’ faction the player participates in ‘Practice’ mode. This is a great opportunity to experiment with your first armored car and get to know other Survivors with whom you can continue your journey through the Wasteland.
  • At the same time, before reaching level 4, the player receives the same reward as for participating in ordinary Missions.
  • After reaching level 4, the player gets access to the missions ‘Get the machine gun!’, 'Get the shotgun!' and to the ‘Raid’ mode. At the same time, in ‘Practice’ he stops receiving parts and fuel as a reward, and the amount of reputation and scrap received in this mode is reduced.

Raids

New raid ‘Frontier Defence’

Only experienced drivers and veterans of the wasteland can join this dangerous raid. To capture and protect the tower, they will have to withstand the onslaught of three waves of raiders. At the end of each phase the fearless survivors will face a difficult battle with the leader.

• Raiders prepared for the defence and placed the turrets around the tower they had captured, which makes the task difficult for the survivors.But you can fight them. Destruction of enemy turrets and raiders will give the brave drivers parts, that they can use to strengthen their position:
  • Turret destruction — 20 parts;
  • Common raider elimination — 10 parts;
  • Elite raider elimination — 25 parts;
  • Leader elimination — 100 items.
• Survivors will have just 60 parts to restore and reprogram the destroyed Raider turrets in the heat of battle.After that, the opponents will have to suffer!
• Everyone is going to get hit in battle — including the reprogrammed turrets.But vigilant drivers will be able to fix them with the help of parts. The more damaged the turret, the more resources will be needed to repair it.
• Also, inventive survivors will be able to upgrade their turrets, if the structure is not damaged:
  • The second turret level (100 parts) multiplies its structure and damage by 1.5;
  • The third turret level (160 parts) once again multiplies its structure and damage by 1.5.
• If at the height of the battle the turret is destroyed, it can be placed again.You are going to need as many parts as the survivors spent on its last upgrade before destruction. Thanks to the efforts of wasteland engineers, the turret retains all upgrades after its restoration.
• The raid will be available only on medium and hard levels of difficulty.

Maps

New map ‘Refinery’ 

After an old accident at the chemical plant, considerable areas around it became uninhabitable due to soil contamination. Only desperate brave souls and those who had nowhere to go, decided to settle in these places.
But everything changed when, during one of the expeditions to the contaminated zone, scouts found a large lake with the purest water, and at the bottom of the lake they found an artifact.
Such a change in the landscape caused great interest in this land among the raiders.
 
The map will be available only in the raid ‘Heist’.

Music

Added new music tracks in ‘Race’ mode:

Parts

Cabins

• Cabin power parameters are changed in proportion to their maximum mass.

Developer comment: the power parameter allows the machine to not lose acceleration with increasing mass. Before, the power numbers did not exactly correspond to the tonnage that cabins had. As a result, assemblies based on light cabins could seem more powerful than heavy-duty assemblies at the same mass.
