[Announcement] Planned balance changes (“Dronapocalypse” update)
Crossout - XO_Team

Hello!

Today we would like to share some information about the balance changes that are planned to be implemented in the upcoming update. Please note that the announced changes in the mechanics of projectile damage shouldn’t be expected to be implemented with the next update. The work in this direction is still in progress and the final version is not ready yet.

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 be implemented into the game at all.

Rebalancing the cabins from “common” to “special” rarity

Comment: in the current realities, most of the cabins and rare cabins are in little demand compared to the “Duster” and, especially, “Growl” cabins. Special cabins, in general, are hardly in use. Parameters were rebalanced on the same principle as they are configured for the cabins of epic and legendary rarity. For the most part, this is seen in the addition of energy in exchange for mass limit. Special cabins received weakened versions of the epic cabin perks. The change for “Guerilla” is aimed at improving the player’s starting experience.

Guerilla

  • Will give 9 pts. of energy (instead of 8 before)
  • Tonnage will be reduced from 3000 to 2800 kg.

  • Max. speed will be increased from 80 to 90 km/h.
  • Power will be decreased by 25%.
  • PS will be increased from 350 to 450.
Huntsman
  • Will give 10 pts. of energy (instead of 9 before).
  • Tonnage will be increased from 3000 to 3300 kg

Carapace

Bat
  • The influence of mass on acceleration will be reduced by 43%.
  • Perk will be added: increases the number of extra charges from “Ammo pack” and “Microfactory” modules by 20%. Extends the radius of projectile explosions by 10%.
Pilgrim
  • A perk will be added: weapons that have energy damage and are mounted on an armoured vehicle with this cabin deal 15% more damage to heated parts.
Jawbreaker
  • Tonnage will be reduced from 6500 to 6200 kg.
  • Mass limit will be reduced from 17500 to 16800 kg.
  • A perk will be added: taking damage temporarily increases the inflicted damage. Max. effect — 15% at 1000 damage.
Other changes in part parameters
Car jack
  • The part will no longer drain energy.
  • PS will be reduced from 85 to 65.
  • It will not be possible to install more than one jack on the vehicle.
  • After using the module, the armoured car will receive a penalty to speed and power for 5 sec.
  • The time to activate the automatic car jack will be reduced from 15 to 10 sec.
Comment: we would like to make the module more popular, as well as give players a choice: wait 10 seconds until the automatic jack is activated, or install the module and be able to immediately return to combat after being turned over, but at the cost of a short-term loss in mobility.

Avenger 57mm
  • Firearm damage will be reduced by 9%.
  • Mass will be increased from 370 to 468 kg.
  • Ammo will be reduced from 35 to 20 pts.
Comment: analysis of statistics after previous changes to reduce energy drain while improving other parameters showed that the weapon has become too effective for a weapon of “common” rarity.

Ampere
  • Durability will be increased from 30 to 45 pts.
Gasgen
  • Durability will be increased from 36 to 72 pts.
Comment: both generators, in comparison with other generators (including the light “Thor-6S”), have a very poor ratio of survivability to damage caused by detonation relative to other generators.

ML 200
  • The ability to mount the legs on all sides of the armoured car will be added.
  • The animation will be changed: The legs will no longer stand in parallel to each other, their placement will resemble the legs of a spider.
  • The model’s hitbox will be slightly reduced.
  • Durability will be reduced from 810 to 750 pts.
  • The height within which the legs are still trying to find a point of contact when they come off the ground will be increased.
Comment: frontal mounting is aimed at expanding the capabilities of the in-game constructor. The changes in animations will be aimed only at visual improvement.
Because of these changes, the hitbox and durability of the movement part were slightly reduced. Changes in height should reduce the number of situations where the leg “bends” and doesn’t look for a point of contact, although the length of a straightened mechanical leg allows it.

Bigram
  • Power penalty will be reduced from 25% to 20%.
Comment: these legs show lower efficiency compared to “ML 200”. Because “Bigram” was initially designed as a “lighter” version of mechanical legs, it should consume less power.
We should note that changes to the animation and installation on all sides of the vehicle cannot be implemented to “Bigrams” due to their specific features.

Icarus IV
  • PS will be increased from 220 to 350.
Icarus VII
  • PS will be increased from 220 to 300.
Comment: we are happy with the current parameters of hovers (especially considering the planned changes on firearm damage for projectiles, after which a lot can change), but in the 5000 - 6000 PS range they stand out too much (especially “Icarus IV”), which we wouldn’t like to leave unnoticed. Increasing the PS should improve the situation.

Catalina
  • The minimum delay between the accumulation of the bonus will be increased from 3 to 4 sec.
  • The amount of damage required to accumulate the bonus when using weapons of “common” rarity, will be increased by 12%.
Comment: increasing the delay should slightly equate automatic weapons to single-shot weapons in terms of the rate of bonus accumulation from the perk. The damage requirement for weapons of “common” rarity turned out to be too low compared to other rarities.

ST-M26 Tackler
  • The perk of “ST-M26 Tackler” is now implemented through damage blocking rather than damage resistance. This is due to technical features and optimization.
AM-5 Avalanche
  • Fixed an issue where the “Avalanche” projectile didn’t lose direct firearm damage when destroying vehicle parts.
Omamori
  • Fixed an issue where the damage absorbed by “Omamori” was further (repeatedly) reduced by the resistance upgrade, the talent of the co-driver “Grizzly”, or any other similar perk.
Annihilator
  • The drone’s maximum flight speed will be reduced from 150 to 90 km/h.
  • Now the reduction of speed and power of the cabin from perk will be 3% (instead of 4% before).
  • Drone durability will be increased from 58 to 84 pts.
  • Damage will be increased by 6%.
Comment: with the drone’s previous flight speed and the size of the penalty to the enemy’s speed and power, it was almost impossible to break the distance and drive away from him. These changes are aimed to equalize the two types of counterplay destroying a drone or breaking the distance) without drastically changing the overall effectiveness of the weapon.

These are all planned changes for the upcoming “Dronapocalypse” update. The update is planned to be released next week. See you soon, survivors!

[Announcement] Operation “Radiance”
Crossout - XO_Team

Hello, survivors!

We would like to bring more clarity to the current situation with the event challenges.

For each such event, we prepare and launch a chain consisting of a certain number of challenges. The amount of challenges in the chain cannot be increased or reduced right away (this requires an additional update). The system will update and issue new challenges until the entire prepared chain is complete.

For the operation “Radiance”, we have also prepared a certain amount of challenges. Due to an error with the challenges update timer, many of you received them unevenly (more often than once every 24 hours and then with a pause), but, in the end, all the pre-prepared challenges were issued to all players.

For this event, we also decided to add a few additional days, so that those players who don’t have the opportunity to play every day, have no problem completing all the accumulated challenges. Additional days do not offer new challenges and only serve to complete those that you have already accumulated, as well as to produce parts from the event workbench.

From now on, we will try to inform you about all the important features and changes in the mechanics of events, if there are any, to prevent any misinterpretation.

We hope that this information has managed to explain all the questionable moments. As a compensation for this, we offer each player to get 3 days of premium subscriptions for logging into the game. You can receive the subscription one time starting from 07:00 GMT, Friday 17, and until 23:59 GMT, March 19.

Thank you for understanding,
Crossout team
