The technology of the Ravagers has finally been subjugated. What does this mean for the Valley? What will change in the confrontation with a common enemy? What unthinkable armoured vehicles can be assembled by the best engineers of the Wasteland?

In the first half of June, the new season titled “Road to Singularity” will begin. This highly anticipated update will not only add new parts, but will also introduce redesigned projectile damage mechanics, which will bring numerous balance changes and widen the variety of armoured vehicles on the battlefield.

And in the second half of the month we expect a brawl festival with new interesting modes and unusual conditions for battles!

You can download these and other artworks from the “Wallpapers” section on our official website.

Let's move on to the main categories!
What is HYPE? Perhaps not only the number of views and likes, but something that left its response in the entire community, sometimes even changing the approach to the game.

“HYPE of the Year” nomination!
And the winner is JBRider with “FLYING ARTILLERY!”

Congratulations JB! Thank you for another year of great content and wish you continued creative success!

---

It's time to announce the “Best Streamer of the Year” according to the Crossout Awards.

Streaming is not as easy as it might seem. During live broadcasts, it's not enough to just show off your play - you need to create a show! To unite people around you and create really high-quality content.

And High Potential becomes the “Best Streamer of the Year”!

Congratulations! Let the challenges run as easy as shelling pears and say hello to the chat!

Hello, survivors!

Earlier, we have already announced a number of balance changes in one of our devblogs. Today we are ready to share the full list of balance changes that are planned to be implemented in the next update. We remind you that we plan to implement a new mechanics of projectile damage in this update. Therefore, the list of changes is quite big.

Please note that all the balance changes specified in this news are relevant at the time of publication and may not be final or not get into the game at all. Certain additional changes, if necessary, may be made after the announcement.

---

The following changes are relevant for projectiles that have the properties of flight speed and size.

For such projectiles, we refined the algorithm for hit registration. Now the damage from the hit is applied to all the parts crossing the volume of the projectile throughout its flight. Previously, this mechanics recorded a hit only on one part with subsequent damage at two meters from the point of contact. The old registration algorithm didn’t match the new projectile mechanics, so it was decided to make adjustments to it. The new registration algorithm will allow additional balancing of the weapon (together with the penetration ability). The changes in projectile size are related to this refinement.
[expand type=details]
The parameter allows adjusting how much damage a projectile of a particular weapon has to deal from a hit until it explodes.

In the characteristics of the weapon (in the “features” section), a parameter has appeared that shows the value of the penetration ability. By the presence of this parameter you can understand if the global changes in projectile damage mechanics (removal of the 2-meter limitation) apply to your weapon. If you don’t see this parameter, then your weapon was not affected.

A parameter value of 80% means that the projectile will disappear/explode after it hits more than 80% of hit damage. The checking of how much damage the projectile has dealt is done after the damage has been dealt.

So: the projectile has 100 of hit damage and its penetration ability is 80%. Let’s consider 2 situations:

1. The projectile hits a part with 90 pts. of durability, the projectile will spend 90% of its damage, and then it will disappear or explode, because this value is greater than 80%.
   
2. The projectile hits a part that has 40 pts. of durability. It destroys it and goes further, because it inflicted only 40% of hit damage. The next part on its way has 100 pts. of durability. The projectile will deal 60 damage to it and disappear or explode, because in total it dealt 100% of damage, which is more than 80%.

This way, before disappearing or exploding, the projectile will deal a total from 80% (penetration value) to 100% of its firearm damage.

Such mechanics are required for greater flexibility in weapon configuration. It allows you to further adjust the minimum amount of damage that a projectile can inflict on parts on its way, without affecting the maximum damage to one part.

• Projectiles no longer have a 2-meter limit and continue to fly until their bullet damage is depleted or until the projectile’s “lifetime” ends. The amount of damage dealt is spent according to the principle of the durability of destroyed parts: the amount of initial damage is subtracted from the durability of each destroyed part. The projectile disappears when the hit damage is exhausted.
  
• The explosion, if any, occurs after the penetration ability is exhausted. This will also create situations where a projectile hitting a lightweight part from the edge of the armoured vehicle will destroy it and, without encountering other parts, will fly further without exploding.
  
• The perks related to projectile hits work on the first contact.
  
• The impulse is applied on the first and on the last contact.

As we noted earlier, we cannot remove the “2-meter limitation” from such weapons without significant performance losses. In order to reduce the effectiveness of parts that pass damage relative to such weapons, the limitation has been increased up to three meters.
[/expand]

---

Comment: All changes to the weapons are related to the new mechanics (removal of 2-meter restriction). These changes allowed us to solve the problems found as a result of testing.
We should note that the durability and penetration parameters were adjusted in groups, since the testing was conducted with a relatively small group of players. After the changes are released on the main server and more data is received, additional adjustments may be made in the following updates.

• Reworked the calculation of damage dealt by “Scorpion”. This is because, without the 2-meter limitation, its projectile could deal a potentially huge amount of damage. Now after a part is pierced, the damage multiplier is not static as before, but constantly decreases with each pierced part. The size of the multiplier depends on how much damage the “Scorpion” projectile didn’t deal to the previous part. This way, “Scorpion” will be able to deal more consistent, but at the same time, limited damage.

[expand type=details]
All tracks now have their own perks:

• Reduces the weapon spread by 20% at the speed above 80 km/h. The bonus doesn’t depend on the amount of such tracks, but decreases proportionally if there are other movement parts mounted on the vehicle.

• Increases weapon rotation speed by 25%. The bonus doesn’t depend on the amount of such tracks, but decreases proportionally if there are other movement parts mounted on the vehicle.

• Increases the durability of all other such tracks on the armoured car by 5%. Maximum bonus is 20%.

• Increases the maximum speed and power of the armoured car by 10 km/h and 25% respectively when the durability of the armoured car drops to 65% and below. The effect will not work if there are other movement parts mounted on the car.

• Increases the damage protection of structural parts by 25% if the player is within 40 m from 2 or more enemies. The bonus doesn’t depend on the amount of such tracks, but decreases proportionally if there are other movement parts mounted on the vehicle.

• Increases the durability of parts that are attached to the track by 10%.

• Removed additional damage to the side projection.

• Removed additional damage to the side projection.
  
• Speed reduced from 95 to 90 km/h.
  
• Tonnage increased from 650 to 900 kg.
  
• Reduced flight altitude.
  
• To compensate for the fact that the same mass of the armoured car now requires a smaller number of hovers — the dependence of acceleration on mass has been increased.

Comment: vehicles with “Icarus VII” showed low survivability with the new mechanics of dealing damage from projectile hits, even considering their mobility. These changes should help with armouring the car, but in return they reduce mobility.

• Increased wheel turning speed.
  
• Improved traction: wheels now enter and exit drift less quickly.
  
• Fixed a bug with vehicles with wheels losing speed too fast on inclines and while steering (including “Bigram” wheels and “Omni”).

• Wheel durability increased from 445 to 565 pts.
  
• Now the turning wheel consumes 16% power (instead of 20% before).
  
• Standard wheel now consumes 8% power (instead of 10% before).

Comment: before the changes, “Bigfoots” were the least effective epic wheels. These changes should improve their survivability and mobility.

• Improved the wheel model to minimize overlap when mounted together with various fenders.

[/expand]

---

[expand type=details]

• Explosion damage reduced by 20%.
  
• Reduced explosion impulse.

Comment: the change is related to the new damage mechanics and weapon edits and should reduce the negative effects after such modules are destroyed.

• You can no longer mount more than one radar.
  
• Removed mechanics of passing explosive damage through.

• Durability increased from 26 to 56 pts.

• Durability increased from 71 to 104 pts.
  
• Mass increased from 72 to 126 kg.

Comment: in order to avoid a possible problem with the radar’s armouring, it was decided to limit their amount on a car. Improved the durability parameters of the lower rarity radars, as they were most often used in pairs in battles.

• Increased the maximum speed at which the car jack can be used.

Comment: the change should help solve the problem where the car jack could only be activated when the car comes to a complete stop.

• Added new attachment points.

Comment: the current placement of the attachment points is inconvenient for placing the module and limits its installation options too much.

• Maximum weapon rotation speed bonus increased from 70% to 80%.
  
• Maximum speed bonus increased from 20% to 22%.

Comment: the efficiency of vehicles with “Oppressor” has decreased too much after changes to its perk.
[/expand]
[expand type=details]

• Reduced the effect of mass on the acceleration of the car. The highest bonus is applied to the “light” type.

Comment: this change is aimed at slightly increasing the mobility of loaded builds.

• Cabin type changed from “medium” to “light”.
  
• Cabin rarity increased to “special”.
  
• PS increased from 750 to 1300.
  
• Maximum cabin speed increased from 80 to 90 km/h.
  
• Added perk: increases the accuracy of mounted weapons by 15%.

• Cabin rarity increased to “special”.
  
• PS increased from 750 to 1100.
  
• Durability reduced from 380 to 330 pts.
  
• Maximum cabin speed increased from 70 to 75 km/h.
  
• Tonnage increased from 4100 to 4600 kg.
  
• Mass limit increased from 9000 to 9500 kg.
  
• Added perk: the damage of weapons and drones is increased as long as there are enemy vehicles in a radius of 25 meters from you. Max. 10% bonus is achieved over 10 sec.

• Cabin rarity increased to “special”.
  
• PS increased from 750 to 1100.
  
• Maximum cabin speed increased from 55 to 65 km/h.
  
• Added perk: charges when there are enemies within a radius of 115 m, and the more the enemies, the faster. By pressing the button, speeds up weapon reloading by 30% for 6 sec.

• Cabin type changed from “medium” to “light”.
  
• PS increased from 1500 to 1800.
  
• Please note that the change of class also allowed the cabin to get an increased bonus to the effect of mass on acceleration. Now the power of a loaded armoured car with “Torero” is higher than if the cabin had remained “medium”.

The changes concern only structural parts that increase the durability of the vehicle.
[expand type=details]
The parts of each faction have their own durability to mass ratio. We have improved this ratio by increasing durability. The “lighter” the faction, the greater the bonus (in %) it has received.

Also, we have added resistance to different types of damage (firearm, explosive, thermal, energy) to the parts that increase the durability of the vehicle (if they do not have other features, such as “Lets damage through”). The set of resistances depends on the faction.

Resistances should be a bonus rather than a fundamental parameter for selecting a part, and should add some uniqueness to each faction and add variety to the process of assembling the vehicle.
Comment: the addition of durability and various resistances are directly related to the new damage mechanics and weapon changes: the survivability of vehicles without “screen armour” decreased with the removal of the 2-meter limitation for projectiles.

• PS reduced from 42 to 38.
  
• Mass reduced from 204 to 189 kg.
  
• Durability increased from 86 to 90 pts.

• PS increased from 42 to 51.
  
• Mass increased from 204 to 251 kg.
  
• Durability increased from 86 to 120 pts.

Comment: fixed a bug due to which the parameters of both parts were identical and didn’t match their sizes.
[/expand]

---

[expand type=details]

• Increased the durability of all frames by 2.5 times.
  
• Reduced the “lets damage through” indicators from 90% to 75%.
  
• Melee damage resistance reduced from 50% to 25%.

Comment: during testing of the new damage mechanics, we found a problem with the reduced survivability of frames and parts behind them.
These changes are aimed at ensuring that the frame (as a part) better protects the parts located behind it, while at the same time its own survivability remains at the same level.

This concludes the list of balance changes. We would like to additionally note that before the update is released, it could include some additional changes.

The update is scheduled to be released next week! See you on our livestream on Tuesday!

Hello!

The next major update is just over a week away! Today we will take a closer look at the new PvP location, which will become available with the update’s release. Welcome to the “Orbital station”!

Panorama of the map

The new location was created for the “Control” mode and features a unique visual style and an asymmetrical layout. At the beginning of the battle, players always have a choice of where to go: one of the paths leads directly to the bases “A” (from the northern respawn point on the map) and “C” (from the southern point), the second — to the capture point “B”.

The respawn point of the second team and the path to the base “C”


Respawn point of the first team and the path to base “A”

Bases “A” and “C” are the remains of the Ravager machines. The points are located opposite each other and are separated by a battle arena among rocks and palm trees.

Base “B” is a fallen orbital station at the bottom of the shallowed sea.

The structure of the location allows you to reach the station or the machines of the Ravagers through the arena.

An important feature is that the base at the station’s crash site is advantageously located relative to the bases of the Ravager machines: not only it is concealed from direct fire, but it can also offer a number of positions for sniper fire on the enemies capturing these two bases.

Hello, survivors!

Starting from today, we are launching a festive in-game event prepared specifically for the 8th anniversary of Crossout! Join other survivors, take part in the festive brawl and get rewards!


Attention! The event and festive rewards scale will be available from May 25 to June 7 inclusive!

This year, we’ve updated the “Crossout Day” brawl that many enjoyed playing last year:

• “Crossout Day” is a confrontation similar to the “Free for all” brawl, where the player has no allies. You are surrounded by enemies and you need you to destroy as many of them as possible!
  
• You can enter the mode as part of a group of up to 4 players, but all players in the group will be enemies to each other.
  
• The battle takes place on the maps “Sand harbour” and “Abandoned town”.
  
• Players take part in the battle on pre-built vehicles, sometimes highly unusual. All armoured vehicles in the battle are created by our players.
  
• This year, we’ve updated the list of blueprints for the brawl. Just like before, all these blueprints are creations of our players, including not only the regular survivors, but also the blueprint builders and partners of the project.
  
• The brawl also has respawns.
  
• Only the first 4 places at the end of the battle are considered victorious.
  
• The resource — scrap metal — is rewarded based on the place you occupy. The amount of scrap metal received decreases with each subsequent place.
  
• At the beginning of the battle and after respawning, you can choose which vehicle to continue the battle on: there will always be 3 random blueprints to choose from.
  
• Points are awarded both for shooting off parts and for destroying opponents. The points for destroying the enemy are also added to the points for all the parts that were on his armoured car at the time of destruction.

Each player will have access to a special event reward scale with levels for free.

• You can unlock a level by completing daily challenges. One of the challenges can only be completed in the “Crossout Day” brawl. The second task is not tied to the festive brawl.
  
• The number of levels is strictly limited by the scale. There will be no additional rewards and additional levels.
  
• In order to unlock the whole rewards scale you need to complete all the tasks available.
  
• All uncompleted daily challenges are accumulated. If you missed a few days, then you can easily complete several challenges in one day.
  
• For leveling up, you can get the following rewards:
  
  • unique blueprint and all parts of the “Armoured camper” vehicle;
    
  • stickers, decor and paints;
    
  • containers with resources;
    
  • 2 containers with a “rare” part of your choice;
    
  • a container with an “epic” CK of your choice;
    
  • Blueprint storage;
    
  • workbench coupons;

Hello!

It’s time for the final part of our devblog dedicated to the new season, which begins in the first half of June. And we have saved one of the main surprises (at least for fans of the spider type armoured cars) for last.

We remind you that all the new features described in the “Developer blog” are not final and may be changed before they are introduced into the game or may not make it into the game at all. This applies not only to information about possible unique features of new parts, but also to the appearance of the parts themselves.

The Dawn’s children have long established themselves as creators of some of the best systems for travelling through the Wasteland. And the technologies of the Ravagers have allowed them to occupy another promising niche.

Everyone who has dreamed of moving across the battlefield quickly like a spider — rejoice! The new season in Crossout will feature light and fast mechanical legs!

This epic movement part was created specifically for those who needed more mobility and more spectacular appearance. With these legs you will be able to “whirl” many medium and heavy armoured vehicles, as well as become more mobile during long-range firefights.

Among the features of “Gerrida I” we should note that it lets some of the incoming damage through, which neither “ML”, nor “Bigram” had. But the scientists didn’t add resistance to blast damage, so be careful in battles against cannons, rockets and grenade launchers!

The most important thing is how the new movement part feels in action. You just need to start moving: a speed increase of 20 km/h reveals these mechanical legs in a new way. Finally, a real spider!

The perk of these new legs will reduce the spread of mounted weapons while you are moving in a straight line or using a strafe. The bonus will not depend on the number of such mechanical legs on the car, but will decrease proportionally if there are other mounted movement parts.

Of course, “Gerrida I” will have its own special qualities. Increased mobility and reduced power consumption are offset by lower tonnage and durability. Be prepared for increasing demands on your manoeuvring skills as well as the cost of making a mistake. But is this really an obstacle for the enthusiasts of walking armoured vehicles? Arachnophobes, beware!

These 4x2x2 parts (length x width x height) will not only cover the corner parts of your armoured car, but will also help to defend your weapon more efficiently. They include bonuses in the form of resistance to thermal and energy damage.


Another curious 3x8x2 part, which will expand your building capabilities and increase the durability of your armoured car quite a bit.

In addition to the parts already introduced in the blogs, you can expect new cosmetic items (decor, paints, stickers), new elements for banner customization, containers with resources and parts of your choice, as well as other bonuses, which we will discuss in more detail during our traditional livestream before the release of the update.

Next week we will find out what new things await us in terms of in-game locations, learn about the planned balance changes, and then we will wait for the start of the new season. See you soon!
