[Update] [PS4] Crossout 1.76. Witch Hunt

[Ka1deron 3,415]

Survivors! Please note that the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Crossout now have a limited sound channel mode. As a result, some sounds may not be played at certain times. This is a temporary measure due to performance issues. We plan to remove this restriction in the next update.

The Witch Hunt begins in the Wasteland! Trick or treat? The choice is yours, survivors.

Game event “Witch Hunt”

Every year, Ivy XO transforms into the Witch from the Valley to arrange a feast for everyone (and at the same time clear the area of tricky treats). And this time she decided to slightly change the subject of the event. Trusted people say that this decision was influenced by her personal meeting with the mysterious Catrina — the ghost that lives in the Wasteland. Who knows if this really happened, but the result is obvious — a lot of colourful ornaments appeared during the festivities.

Winter is coming — it's time to light the fire of the Witch Hunt, survivors!

• Tricky treats can only be obtained in the brawl “Witch Hunt” or in the special PvP-mission “Trick or treat!”.
• Brawl “Witch Hunt” and the mission “Trick or treat!” available from level 4 of the Engineers faction.
• “Tricky treats” along with other resources can be exchanged for unique decor, paint and stickers in a special “Witch Cauldron” workbench.
• Active “Premium subscription” increases the number of treats received as a result of the battle.
• At the end of the in-game event, all unused treats will be withdrawn without replacements.

The event will last from October 28 to November 12, 20:59 GMT.

Features of the updated brawl “Witch Hunt”:

• Victory in the brawl goes to the person who can keep festive balloons on his armoured vehicle longer than others and earn 100 points.
• The brawl offers pre-assembled blueprints with boosters.
• There are festive skulls on the map, and by breaking them the player can get additional advantages in the brawl. Among them: temporary invulnerability, temporary invisibility, the ability to release a “Kapkan” mine or a shell from a homing “Scorpion”.
• Be careful and be ready for anything — festive skulls can also attach a bomb to your armoured car or slow it down. Hurry to touch the enemy’s armoured car and pass the bomb to it, otherwise, you're gonna go boom!
• To take the holiday balloons from the enemy, you only need to crash into his car. And remember: a high-speed chase is not the only way out. Show your cunning and ingenuity!
• The brawl will be active during the whole time of the event and will not replace the rest of the brawls.
• For 1, 3, 5, and 10 successful battles (1–4 places) in the Witch Hunt, the player receives the Witch's Sticker Container. Attention! Each challenge can be completed only once! The progress of successful battles is reset after each mission.

• “Complete 5 daily challenges” — the number of challenges is reduced to 4.
• Changes will take effect the day after the update.

Missions

• Improved behaviour of raiders during the capture of enemy bases.
• Increased time required to capture each of the base sectors in “Encounter” missions. Required time depends on general battle time and number of players that capture the base.

Now you can only send Leviathans with 7000 or more PS to the Invasion.

Brawls

Race

An updated race track on the Wrath of Khan map has been added to the rotation mode.

Changed visual models of the following parts:

Developer comment: We are continuing to upgrade physical models of guns. Now the physical models of the listed guns have become smaller, they correctly follow the rotation of the trunks and are more consistent with their visual models. Please note that changes in physical models may make it necessary to rebuild some of the armoured vehicles.

Parts production

Recipes of all “rare” parts have been changed:

• Reduced the number of required parts of the “common” rarity.
• The amount of scrap required is increased.
• Please note that the change only affects the crafting of parts on factional workbenches.

Cabins

Jockey

Added new attachment points.

Weapons

Machine gun “P-29 Protector” and cannon “Elephant”

Changed the mechanics of perks. Now when they are active, the guns are protected from all types of damage, including energy.

Pulse Accelerator “Scorpion”

Now Scorpion shells take into account the features of the penetrated parts.

Drones and Turrets

Now stepping into invisibility resets the target for drones and turrets. After invisibility is activated, they no longer see the enemy for an additional second.

Medals, trials, and patches

• Reduced requirements for several patches, as well as the number and list of patches, required for completing some trials.
• The mechanics of obtaining the “Unyielding” patch have been changed. Now it is awarded even if the best player of the winning team left the battle before its completion.
• Now, when you hover over some of the patches, you can see which parts to use to get them.
• New patches added:

  • Shotgun Mastery 5;

  • Crossbow Mastery 3;

  • Knechte treasurer;
  • Halloween zillionaire.

• Now, pressing the “Battle” button in the garage will automatically launch the mission “Get the Scrap!” or the last mode in which you participated. To open the world map and select another mode, you must press the button “Choose mode” (under the button "Battle").

Developer comment: Please note that we are currently conducting selective testing of the updated interface, so some players may retain the old functionality of the “Battle” button. This is not a bug.

• Now, at the end of the brawl with several prize places, all winners will get the correct message about the victory and the place taken.
• Now in raids you may check, which of the daily and weekly tasks can be completed in this battlet, using the “Map” button.
• Added the option to disable the colour outline of armoured vehicles in “Custom battle” in observer mode. You can disable the outline in the menu: Settings — Interface — Gameplay — Colour outline of the armoured car.

  • “Blood Rocks”;
  • “Old town”;

• Water now slows down the movement of armoured vehicles more.
• Improved smoke effects from signal fires.
• Improved hit and explosion effects for shells of cannons and autocannons.

• Fixed a bug where parts situated close to the ground could clip the landscape.
• Fixed a bug that allowed editing the blueprint directly from the exhibition and loading it into a slot in the garage without downloading.
• Fixed a bug where some of the ringleaders of the Lunatics and Scavengers did not move, attack the players and towers, or hit them.
• Fixed a bug where the Leviathan in the Steel Cradle raid might not respond to the visible player and not move in his direction if he was far away.
• Fixed a bug where frames could be mounted on both sides of the Goliath tracks. Now you can only attach tracks to frames, and not vice versa.
• Fixed a bug with incorrect display of the damage dealt in the characteristics of flamethrowers.
• Fixed a bug where the installation of parts on top of the “Remedy” flamethrower led to the blocking of rotation of its barrel.

• Fixed a bug connected with the interface blocking by in-game prompts.
• Improved client stability.

Due to the unstable work of the game client, we give away 2 days of premium subscriptions to each player who logged in into the game after the 1.76 update and until the publication of this message.

Mine keeps blue screening since the update before.......

[Xbox_M_420 6,093]

We always get the same issues that come with PC's updates.. 

Were the PC issues fixed before being implemented to PS4? or were they left to fix afterwards?

I don't know the timeframes for updates, o show long they take to be approved.. so I understand if it's easier to fix certain things afterwards..

But if you know there will be issues, perhaps leave a note in the patch notes to let people know what they may experience until a fix.

Minus the new horrific crashing gaming experience, having the new drop down battle menu is one more uneccessary click . Did you all lose a valuable developer or something? It sure seems like it.
