Crossout takes a step forward and brings mecha-style combat.
Gaijin Entertainment announces the release of the major content update “Next Step” for the post-apocalyptic online action game Crossout.
Pilots and designers of armored vehicles and combat aircraft will gain access to mecha-like walkers, a completely new type of armored fighting machine. A new map “The Way Up” and the new Brawl “For the Emperor” are also part of the update.
Robotic legs are a new type of chassis for armored vehicles that can be combined with other parts and weapons to create a unique combat vehicle.
There are several leg options that differ in their characteristics, design and special abilities. For example, with the “Tengu” model it is possible to charge directly at the opponent, while with the “RN-M Dino” model you can lift off the ground for a short time.
Armored vehicles with the new robotic legs can participate in PvP battles marked “Arcade”, all PvE raids, and certain brawls.
Arcade is a new permanent PVP mode in which all vehicles, including walkers and armored aircraft, can participate.
The performance of some modules has been modified (i.e. speed and weapon damage have been increased) to ensure the most dynamic battles possible.
Battles are played in a team-versus-team format with resurrection after death. To win in Arcade, players must collect capsules left at the site of an opponent’s death and recover the capsules of fallen allies before the opposing team can reach them.
At the same time as the Next Step update was released, a new season of the Battle Pass was launched, which included new weapons, armored vehicle modules, cosmetic items, and resources to be won.
