Crossout: Frontier
Hello, survivors!
This update brings a lot of new features, including balance changes, favourite brawls, a new armoured car with unique parts, and a brand-new brawl set in the enchanting vastness of space!
New pack “Relentless” (Deluxe edition)
Attention! The pack will be available from July 24 to August 24 inclusive!
- Unique armoured car: “Relentless” (Deluxe edition);
- New cabin: “Ajax”:
- Heavy epic cabin;
- PS: 1500;

- Tonnage: 9000 kg;
- Mass limit: 18000 kg;
- Energy supply: 22 pts.;
- Durability: 490 pts.;
- Mass: 3300 kg;
- Perk: creates a protective field that absorbs almost all damage from fast-moving objects and energy streams for 6 sec. It has reduced resistance to blast damage and is not hidden by invisibility generators. Cooldown 12 sec. The first 2 sec. of active time, the field does not lose its durability and if it is hit by a projectile, increases the damage of all mounted weapons by 15% for 6 sec. The cabin reduces the active time of the “Aegis-Prime” modules mounted on the vehicle by 80%.

- Epic module;
- PS: 135;
- Spread while moving: -20%;
- Spread when weapon rotates: -30%;
- Durability: 145 pts.;
- Energy drain: 1 pt.;
- Mass: 160 kg;
- Perk: increases weapons turning speed as their durability decreases, up to 35% at 65% total durability loss.
- Movement parts: frontal wheel “Claw” (4 pcs.);
- Weapons: plasma emitter “Prometheus V” (2 pcs.);
- Hardware: “Power unit” module, “Colossus” engine, “Ammo rack” ammunition;
- Character portrait: “Kylo”;
- Background and logo for profile customization;
- New horn;
- New paint can: “Composite matrix”;
- Paint cans;

- A set of structural parts;
- 4000 in-game coins;
- Maximum number of parts increased to 55.
Not many people know the truth about the creation of “Aegis-Prime” and the “Nova” cabin. But alas, the history is written by winners. Although Tachyon claimed all the fame, Kylo did not succumb to despair; he now knew for sure that humanity does not appreciate his genius. His obsession with science and desire to surpass the Dawn’s Children researchers motivated him. Kylo disappeared, isolated himself, and continued making his perfect vehicle. When he heard the rumours about Lloyd’s death and the emergence of Aris, he knew his time had come. Time to come back to the Valley and claim his spot as the genius.

“Frontier” brawl
Attention! The mode will be available from July 17 to July 23 inclusive!
- “Frontier” is the first team brawl in Crossout, which allows you to feel like a real pilot of a combat spaceship.
- The goal is to score more points than the opposing team in the allotted time.
- The brawl has respawns.
- There are 3 standard ships for players to choose from:
- Bomber — heavy starship for destruction.
- Fighter — battle starship for offense.
- Vulture — fast starship for surprise attacks.
- The player fills a special “elite ship” scale when they damage or destroy enemy ships. By filling the scale, the player will automatically receive a special elite ship during the next respawn. The scale can also be filled by picking up special bonuses located in different corners of the space station.
- During the battle, allied and enemy shuttles will appear randomly on the map. If the shuttle belongs to your team, it must be protected from enemy attacks for a certain amount of time. If the shuttle belongs to the enemy team, you will have to destroy it as soon as possible. Destroying the shuttle nets a lot of points, so don’t neglect its defense or hurry up and destroy it!
- The battles take place on the new map “Last signal” created specifically for the mode.
- The reward for battles of the mode is wires.
- As always, we’re looking forward to your feedback and suggestions on the new brawl!
Rewards for the special challenges:
- Day 1: 2 “Hatred 1” stickers.
- Day 2: 80 Engineer badges.
- Day 3: “Military reserve” container.
- Day 4: “Yellow gloss” paint.
- Day 5: 80 Engineer badges.
- Day 6: “Humanitarian aid” container.
- Day 7: new decor “SE-11 Balloon”.

Comment:
Since adding robotic legs to the game, we have received numerous comments suggesting that they should be allowed in all modes. On the one hand, we agree, but on the other hand, we understand that in their current form, robotic legs would have an advantage over other movement parts outside special missions.
We believe that many players would be curious to see the familiar classic missions with robotic legs adapted to the conditions of the modes. This is what we propose to do, before making a joint decision on the viability of such a change.
The final state of the robotic legs we are aiming for:
- Robotic legs should be rebalanced for “classic” PvP modes and can be used in them.
- In order not to change the previous gaming experience, the robotic legs should remain as they were before the changes in special missions with armored aircraft.
Below is a list of changes that are true only for this brawl:
