[Announcement] Crosscrowns on PC and PlayStation

Crossout - XO_Team

Hello, survivors!

In the next update, which will be released later this month, we plan to add a new currency — crosscrowns — to the PC and PlayStation versions of the game. If you don’t know what it is yet, let’s figure it out together.

So, crosscrowns is a new currency for survivors on PC and PlayStation, well established on Xbox consoles. With this currency on all platforms, we will be able to update the range of cosmetic items in the in-game store more often, including the anticipated CKs for weapons and other parts. Let’s not dive into the details of the appearance of new products on the platforms — let’s just say that the process will be much simpler and faster.

Players from PlayStation and PC will only be able to purchase crosscrowns in Gaijin store (PC) or PlayStation store (PS4 and PS5).

With the introduction of a new currency, the in-game coins and premium subscriptions will also be purchased with crosscrowns in the in-game store. It’s important to note that only the mechanics of purchasing subscriptions or coins will change for you. Prices for one day of premium subscription or one coin will not undergo substantial changes. And the users from PlayStation will also have a long-awaited opportunity to purchase different premium subscription options, not just a 30-day subscription.

Trading on the market will continue to be performed using in-game coins, no changes in this regard are expected. Crosscrowns will not be used in the in-game market.

The in-game store’s assortment is planned to be updated weekly. The store will present both permanent items and temporary offers for CK, portraits, paints, range objects, decor, etc.

If you miss one of the temporary offers, don’t worry. The item will definitely be returned to the store in the future.

[Contest] ‘Rebuild in Crossout!’ - experimental stage (August 18 - August 24)

Crossout - XO_Team

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 and install armour. Also install a radar, a stealth module and use wheel drones as a main equipment.

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

[Contest] Clash of engineers: Doomsday weapon

Crossout - XO_Team

Hello, survivors!

The atmosphere in the Wasteland is more heated than ever before. This was facilitated by the endless skirmishes between factions, the emergence of the mysterious Syndicate and by an even more mysterious enemy that threatens everyone, making no exceptions.

Scar AB is seriously concerned by these events, and the loss of communication with one of his bases became the final straw. According to rumors, it was destroyed. Because of these events, the Scavengers are calling the best engineers in the Wasteland to create a “doomsday weapon” that can change the course of a decisive battle at the right moment.

Task: Build an armoured vehicle with tracks that can confront several opponents at the same time. It must have a large and powerful cannon, which will be its decisive argument in battle. Add the following tag at the beginning of your work’s name: DWM. The armoured car must be able to move on its own. Pay attention to additional requirements and limitations in the conditions!

Attention! The entries are accepted from August 16, 11:00 GMT, to August 19, 10:00 GMT. Then the voting process begins. The results will be summed up automatically on August 23, 10:00 GMT.

Conditions:

You can only include the tag at the beginning of your contest entry’s name.
The blueprint check system is case-sensitive, so write the tag only in capital letters. If you do not, your entry will not be able to participate in the contest.
After building your entry, save its blueprint, send it to the contest and wait for the results. In the meantime you can also vote for any entry you like in the voting tab.
The entry can be built in the armoured car slot or the Leviathan slot.
The entry should not contain offensive and symbols, obscene language, references to prohibited groups and societies, elements of erotic content, also should not violate the game’s rules.
Only one entry is accepted from each participant.
The players who publish someone else's entry will be excluded from participation.
By participating in the contest, you consent to the use of your work at our discretion.
It is prohibited to use the voting as part of an external contest or any other system with rewards, as well as issue prizes for voting to anyone. If such cases are detected, the administration reserves the right to remove the entry from the contest.
Other player’s entries from the “Clash of engineers” section cannot be saved in blueprints. Therefore, in order to protect yourself from plagiarism, do not share the contest blueprints at the general exhibition until the deadline for entry admission.

Additional conditions:

The name of the blueprint has to begin with the tag DWM.
The blueprint has to include the parts required for this contest: tracks.
The blueprint can’t include the parts banned for this contest: augers, hovers, mechanical legs, wheels, rolling-based chassis.

Good luck!

[Announcement] Survivors league returns to Crossout!

Crossout - XO_Team

Ranked battles are returning to Crossout as part of the special event “Survivors league”! Fight and become the best of the best!

This time, we took into account your feedback from the previous “League” regarding the issues with connecting to battles and waiting time in the queue and refined the player matchmaking system.

Rules and features of the mode:

To participate in the event, you need to have at least level 10 of reputation with the “Engineers” faction.
You can take part in the event battles only on armoured vehicles from 7000 to 9000 PS.
Battles are held based on the “Capture” scenario in the “6 vs 6” format.
4 maps are included in the rotation of the event:
- East quarter;
- Ship graveyard;
- Powerplant;
- “Control-17” station.
There are 5 leagues in the event:
- Iron
- Steel
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
An important change: now you have a chance to move from the “Gold” league to the “Legend” league:
- The amount of places in the “Legend” league is limited (35 places for PC and 5 places for PlayStation and Xbox);
- If you occupy the last place in the “Legend”, and the player from the “Gold” league scores more rating points than you currently have, then he enters the “Legend” league, and you move to the “Gold”.
- If according to the results of the battle you lose rating points, and the total score becomes lower than the minimum allowed for the “Legend” league, then you are moved to the “Gold” league and your place is taken by a player who has enough points to move to the “Legend” league. If there are no candidates for the “Legendary” league at this time, then the place in it becomes vacant.
Players’ team matchmaking is based on their current rating points. Playing in a group is not possible in this mode.
To enter a rating battle, a player uses a certain number of rating points:
- Iron: 0 points.
- Steel: 10 points.
- Bronze: 10 points
- Silver: 15 points
- Gold: 15 points.
- Legend: 15 points.
In this mode, in case the player leaves the battle before it ends, a system of automatic penalties on entering the mode for a certain time can be applied to the player (the ban’s duration depends on how often the player left the battles early in the “Survivors league” mode).

How rating points are earned:

Winning a battle earns the player 10 rating points.
Each destruction or assist in destroying an enemy is worth 5 rating points. Assistance in destruction is counted only if the enemy was destroyed within 10 seconds after you dealt damage to him last time.
For each captured segment of the enemy base, all players participating in the capture receive 5 rating points. Each player who was present within the base during the time of its capture is considered to be a participant of the sector capture. You can get a maximum of 15 points for capturing all 3 sectors.

Rewards for leagues

Starting from the “Steel” league, a special event logo, that will be changing its appearance depending on the league you have reached, will be available to you. At the end of the event, you will have the logo that will correspond to your league at the time the event ends.

Please note that the logo for the “Legend” league will be rewarded to those players, who will occupy the places in this league at the end of the “Survivors League”. This logo will be rewarded after the event ends.

Also, starting from the “Bronze” league, a unique trophy for the range, “Survivors league flame” will be available to you. It will be changing its appearance depending on the league you have reached. At the end of the event, you will have the trophy that will correspond to your league at the time the event ends.
As you move up the leagues, you will increase the amount of scrap you receive in a battle:
- Iron: base amount.
- Steel: base amount +10%.
- Bronze: base amount + 27%.
- Silver: base amount + 45%.
- Gold: base amount +45%.
- Legend: base amount + 45%.
We remind you that the final amount of resources received directly depends on your efficiency in battle and whether you have played the battle to the end.

Special daily challenge

Every day, during the whole event, a special task will be available to you: for winning 5 battles in the “Survivors league” you will receive a “Rare stabilizer”. Please note that the progress of the task completion does not carry over to the next day. We remind you that the accumulated stabilizers can be converted into stabilizers of higher rarity.

The event will last from August 12 to September 2 inclusive!
