"The unknown is at every step. Do you know what awaits around the next corner?.."

July is coming to an end, and there is the last summer month ahead of us! Both the "Steel championship" and the "Guiding star" season are approaching their equator, and in case you haven't dived into it yet, it's definitely worth a shot now!

In addition, it's also worth it to adorn your desktop with a new August calendar that may be found in the official website's "Wallpapers" section!

I don’t know if the new episode of the news is going to be released in the near future, but you must know about today’s find! This is Alex Murch, the Voice of the Wasteland text radio station and a couple of regular news sections.

The most “liked” comment on the topic from the last episode:
“Wow, this is so creepy — if you add some filters it’s going to be even creepier”


Quite a popular opinion, I must say. I really like it, to be honest. Yes, my tastes are quite extraordinary, but what can I do?
You chose to send me to a football game where I could meet her again. So after pouring 10 grams of gasoline on myself and putting on my best respirator, I went straight to the stadium.

The bad news:

• Paris didn’t sit next to me on the podium, I didn’t meet her at all that day. That’s fine, I wasn’t expecting that anyway (although who am I kidding...);
  
• It was very loud! I think I’m still deaf in one ear, good thing it doesn’t stop me from writing.

The good news:

• Tickets turned out to be real;
  
• As a true football fan, I really enjoyed the match;
  
• I’ve also bought a great blueprint from some merchant. Here it is:

I don’t know if it’s real or fake, but it looks like a very cool generator. I need to talk with the craftsmen, maybe they can create something similar for me...

And, well, that’s it. Thank you for choosing football, I was looking for some fun anyway. But now we have to choose again: What are we going to do?

• Visit the craftsmen;
  
• Do nothing;
  
• Look for Paris;
  
• Go on a trip for a month;
  
• Sunbathe on the roof.

Fight against opponents in fun and intense football matches and explore the brand new PvP-location in the world of Crossout — “Sinto city”! The “Steel Championship” update is already available!


The updated “Steel Championship” returns to Crossout! In the already familiar and favored mode you can expect improved game rules, new armoured cars and new rewards. Gather the dream team of your friends and reach the top of automobile football!

Attention! The event will last from July 22 to August 11 inclusive!

• Players can take part in the mode both as a group and individually as part of a randomly selected team.
  
• The match takes place in the “3 vs. 3” format.
  
• The match lasts 5 minutes. The team that scores more goals against the opponents wins.
  
• If a team leads the opponent by 5 goals scored, the match automatically ends with a victory for this team.
  
• In the case of a draw in regular time, overtime is appointed:
  
  • gather all your strength and play as one, because during overtime, the first goal scored leads to the victory of one of the teams;
    
  • overtime lasts 5 minutes;
    
  • If during the overtime none of the teams scores a goal, the match ends in a draw.
• Participation in this brawl counts towards the assignment for 9 successful battles in brawls.

[expand type=details]

• The rating points earned by the player affect his place in the leaderboard and belonging to one of the leagues.
  
• The more your team breaks away from the opponents on scored goals, the more rating points will be received by each participant (but not more than the maximum allowed number).
  
• Players use rating points to participate in matches. The entry fee depends on the player’s current league:
  
  • Iron: 12 points
    
  • Steel: 15 points
    
  • Bronze: 17 points
    
  • Silver: 20 points
    
  • Gold: 22 points
• Each ranked league is safe. This means that you will no longer be able to drop into the league below, even if you face a series of defeats. If the next deduction of points should lead to the transition to the lower league, points for entering the battle will not be deducted.
  
• If you lose, you do not lose rating points, except for those that you spent on entering the battle.

• Changed blueprints of armoured vehicles for the brawl.
  
• Updated the “Central Stadium” map.
  
• Added a thematic music track for the brawl.
  
• Added the commentators’ voiceover. Now the match is commented by Hector and by his sister Paris!
  
• Now defending your gates from a goal will not only contribute to the victory of your team, but will also be counted as a useful action that increases the number of points you receive after the match.
  
• Now collisions with opponents deal damage to them or can destroy them.
  
• Added the option to attach the camera to the ball. This can be done by pressing the “E” key or the right stick on the gamepad. In order to restore the previous behavior of the camera, you need to press the same key again.

Each week during the “Steel Championship”, you will have a chain of 2 tasks available to you. Completing each mission will bring you a special “Fan container”. When you open the container, you have a chance to get one of the many Wasteland football-themed rewards:

• Epic decor “Bobble-ball”;
  
• Epic paint “Caramel clouds”;
  
• Epic paint “Warm Twilight”;
  
• Special decor “Goat hand”;
  
• Special decor “Number 1 hand”;
  
• Special paint “Cyan”;
  
• Rare decor “Rusted rim”;
  
• Rare paint “Crimson storm”;
  
• Rare paint “Red glade”.

• “Steel” league: “Fan container” and unique logo of “Steel Championship”. The logo changes its appearance depending on your current league. At the end of the event, you will have the logo that will correspond to your league at the time the event ends.
  
• “Bronze” league: “Explosive gates” and “Trophy Ball 2051” for your range. The appearance of the ball will also depend on the league that you occupied at the end of the event.
  
• “Silver” league: unique wheel hubcap for “Fan cap”.
  
• “Gold” League: “Fan-duck” decor.

[/expand]

• “Cheerleader armoured car”;
  
• New rare wheel “Low clearance” (4 pcs.);
  
• Unique portrait “Paris”;
  
• Unique paints: “Noble blue” and “Shades of victory”;
  
• Flag “Steel Championship 2051”;
  
• Unique background and logo for profile customization;
  
• A set of stickers;
  
• 500 in-game coins;
  
• Increases the maximum number of parts used to 50.

Paris is Hector’s sister, who is by no means inferior to him in his love of competition and far superior to him in her passion for explosions and destruction. Their paths split a long time ago when the girl joined Psycho Pete’s gang. Deadly fights on the arenas, which the Lunatics regularly organized, appealed to her taste.

When Scar AB organized the “Steel Championship” with the help of her brother, Paris became obsessed with the idea of getting there. Alas, but Hector, knowing the explosive character of his sister, did everything to keep her away from the stadium. And he even succeeded. Until this year.

The girl arrived with other invited Lunatics in a pickup truck, assembled specifically for this purpose. To Hector’s displeasure, she was appointed the second commentator of the “Steel Championship” , the rules of which had become much more dangerous.

Attention! The pack will be available till August 22 inclusive!



Welcome to the new Pvp-map “Sinto city”! The location will be a part of the post-apocalyptic metropolis setting, which received positive reception from many players. “Sinto City” turns out to be a multifaceted map, and we tried to continue rethinking the usual routes of players while developing it.

This four-level, relatively compact map for the “Encounter” mode will feature a quarter of what was once one of the world’s richest corporations, built in a dense urban environment on the bank of the canal. Those who like to pursue the enemy and use all the features of the environment for this purpose will definitely have fun here.

In the “urban” part of the map there will be ideal conditions to confuse the enemy, evade pursuits or attack the unsuspecting victim from the rear.
From the side of the canal, near the neutral base of the players, there are long-range firing positions, allowing long-range builds and artillery to take advantageous positions and help the team.

Everyone who wants to get rid of the “snipers” has the opportunity to get to them from the center on the upper level — a large overpass. Don’t forget to change your position more often, and it will pay off!

Four once pedestrian bridges over the canal offer a dangerous, but advantageous high ground position. The player will be clearly seen there, but the opponents become easy targets as well.

On this map, we implemented an interesting feature: the base capture can be started on two levels: at the bottom, or on the upper level — the overpass, which passes directly above the base.

[expand type=details]

• Now large vegetation on maps becomes translucent and does not overlap the view on the following maps:
  
  • “Ravagers foothold”
    
  • “Ashen ring”
    
  • “Terminal-45”
    
  • “Sector EX”
    
  • “Control-17” station
    
  • “Eastern Array”
    
  • “Naukograd”
    
  • “Chemical plant”
    
  • “Powerplant”
    
  • “Industrial track”
• Optimized the areas with water on the “Factory” map.
  
• Now the damage from the acid lake on the “Factory” map is not dealt immediately to the armoured vehicle’s cabin, but to those parts that touch the acid. You can manage to get out of a dangerous lake if you have sufficiently durable movement parts and there are no explosive parts under the vehicle’s bottom.
  
• Now destructible objects on maps become translucent if they block the view, and don’t change the camera’s angle.

[/expand]

[expand type=details]

• New spawn points on the “Dead Highway” map have been added and improved.
  
• Added “Jumping pads” at the following locations:
  
• “Ravagers foothold”
  
• “East quarter”
  
• “Factory”

• Battles in the mode occur between teams of players and AI-controlled vehicles (similar to “Patrol”).
  
• Players can earn copper in this mode.
  
• Entering the mode costs 5 pts. of gas.
  
• The mode is available from reputation level 5 with the Engineers faction.

• Large blocks, ramps and beams for the ranges were added in the “Factions” — “Building” tab. They can be crafted from smaller blocks and building materials.
  
• Now the mines are correctly attached to the building blocks.
  
• Now the cost of installing small concrete blocks and ramps is 2 range points, and 3 points for the concrete rings.

[/expand]

[expand type=details]
Durability reduced by 10% (from 183 to 165 pts.).

Developer comment: “Spitfire” is an extremely effective weapon on medium PS, far superior to its alternatives. This change is intended to make it equal to other weapons.


Gunshot damage (damage from projectile hit on the part) increased by 10%.

Developer comment: Due to the change in the features of the engines and the introduction of a separate module that boosts reloading, we slightly increased the strength of the weapon types that were affected by these changes the most.


Reload speed increased by 20%.

Developer comment: During the rather long reloading of “Tempura”, the armoured vehicle was a very vulnerable target. This change will help to correct the situation.


Gunshot damage (damage from projectile hit on the part) increased by 14%.

Developer comment: Due to the change in the features of the engines and the introduction of a separate module that boosts reloading, we slightly increased the strength of the weapon types that were affected by these changes the most.

• Minimum spread in motion increased by 25%.
  
• Shot spread increase is now higher by 33%.

Developer comment: “Tackler” is an extremely effective weapon on medium PS and in Clan battles, far superior to its alternatives. This change is intended to make it equal to other weapons.


Mass reduced by 25% (from 1012 to 759 kg).

Developer comment: This change is intended to increase the popularity of “Phoenix”.


Target capture time reduced from 10 to 7 seconds.

Developer comment: “Kapkan” remains an extremely effective weapon both in missions and in Clan battles. With this change, we try to slightly reduce this efficiency.

• PS increased from 275 to 360.
  
• Tonnage reduced from +2000 to +1900 kg.

Developer comment: “Bigrams” are very effective at relatively low PS, as well as in Clan wars. With this change, we try to slightly reduce this efficiency.

• Increased the minimum turning radius.
  
• Turning sharpness is reduced.

Developer comment: The impressive maneuverability of armoured vehicles with “Small tracks” led to a significant increase in the number of builds with melee weapons, which resulted in monotonous battles. With this change, we want to slightly reduce this effect.


Now every drone or turret launched increases the cabin’s power by 35%, instead of 50%.

Developer comment: the maneuverability of the “Call” cabin in conjunction with several drones was incredibly high, and this change is intended to slightly reduce the effectiveness of such combinations.


Damage increased by 8%.

Developer comment: “Kaiju” showed rather low efficiency in battles. We implement this change to correct this.


Maximum cabin speed reduced from 80 to 75 km/h.

Developer comment: “Nova” is the most effective medium cabin in the Clan Wars, which outshines all its competitors. With this change, we want to introduce more diversity into the mode.


Maximum cabin speed reduced from 90 to 85 km/h.

Developer comment: Being a medium class cabin, “Beholder” actually occupies a niche of a lightweight cabin. By adjusting its parameters, we want to emphasize the role which was originally intended for this cabin.


Now all armoured vehicles have a maximum value of deceleration from negative effects, which cannot be exceeded. Thus, the simultaneous use of “Spark” and “Flash” will not be able to slow down the opponent above the maximum value.[/expand]

[expand type=details]

• Improved the tab with patches in the personal survivor’s file, including the addition of a filter and a search function for finding a specific patch.
  
• Now in the technology tree you can see the recipe for crafting the part from the season, even if it has not been unlocked yet.
  
• Removed the following tabs in the gamepad settings:
  
  • “Restricted camera”;
    
  • “Camera movement”;
    
  • “Floating aim”.

[/expand]

[expand type=details]

• Updated the appearance of the pulse accelerator “Scorpion”.
  
• Added new welding points for “Clarinet TOW”.
  
• Improved the reloading animation of the “Emily” revolver.

[/expand]

[expand type=details]

• Fixed a bug where raiders of the Firestarters didn’t leave the site in the “Frontier defense” raid on the “Ship graveyard” map.
  
• Improved a number of environmental objects on the “Ship graveyard” map.
  
• Fixed the absence of some maps in the rotation of the “Bedlam” mode.

Rumours about Scar AB's collection and the skill of the engineers who craft and expand it are rapidly spreading throughout the Valley. Recently, one of the trading clans turned to the Scavenger leader with the request to build several armoured vehicles to accompany the caravans, but with a special condition. All vehicles have to be similar to real-life models with slight modifications. The sense of style is not dead and gone even in this wasted world, and it's good.

Only this time, customers want to see what custom-built cars are like. And since there's a reason, Scar AB’s engineers don't mind showing what they and their artworks can do.

We will select the top 4 entries, and their authors will get a reward of 300 coins and one epic "Amusement container"! The author of the most effective armoured vehicle will receive 200 coins!

Assignment: You need to build the presented car, install armour and reinforce suspension. Also install "Synthesis" or "Prometheus V" as a main equipment.


All of the details can be found here. Good luck!

Hello, survivors!

The “Steel Championship” update will be released this week, which means it’s time to find out what you can expect to find in this update.

We remind you that all the new features described in this news are not final and may be changed before they are introduced into the game or may not make it into the game at all.



The long-awaited football is back in the Wasteland! This time — with new armoгred vehicles with the “Tusk” cabin. Yes, now in a seemingly hopeless situation you can ram the enemy and leave the gate untouched. Someone will say that this is a penalty and the player should be removed? Forget the rules of the old world!


The new PvP map “Sinto city” will also appear with the update on Thursday. We are eager to learn how players with different armoured vehicles will use all the variety of fire positions and entrances to the base. Don’t forget about bridges and the base capture on two levels — there is a fairly large space for tactical maneuvers.

Many existing maps will also be updated: now the vegetation on them will not interfere with the view, but will become translucent, as it is implemented, for example, on the “East Quarter” map.
