Other
- At reputation level 10 with the “Engineers” faction, all players are given a novice armoured aircraft with the new rotor “CR-1 Seagull”. The rotor can also be produced on the “Engineer repair shop” workbench.
- “Rare” rotor.
- PS: 240.
- Tonnage: +1500 kg.
- Cabin power: -15%.
- Lets 50% of damage through.
- Durability: 176 pts.
- Mass: 270 kg.
- Rotors can be mounted on any vehicle, but only vehicles in the armoured aircraft slot can go to battle.
- The rotors work separately from the ground movement parts: this means that the tonnage and penalty to the cabin power of the rotors do not add up to the same parameters of the ground movement parts.
- When you turn on at least one rotor, only their tonnage and power penalty begin to be taken into account, and their perks are also activated. At the same time, ground-based movement parts stop working, giving tonnage and taking away power, their perks get disabled.
- The vehicle’s characteristics display:
- flight parameters only, if only rotors are mounted;
- ground parameters only, if only ground movement parts are mounted;
- both groups of parameters, if both rotors and ground-based movement parts are used in the assembly.
New PvP missions
- On the world map, you now have the opportunity to choose what type of missions you want to participate in: with or without armoured aircraft.
- In the standard missions “Get scrap metal!”, “Get the wires!” and “Get the batteries!” the rules remain the same: only vehicles from the armoured vehicle slot can participate in these battles.
- Both regular armoured vehicles and armoured aircraft can participate in the new missions with the same resources.
- The vehicle (armoured car or armoured aircraft) you will enter the battle on will depend on the slot you have selected at the time you press the “Battle” button.
- Attention! Armoured aircraft cannot capture enemy bases when their rotor is enabled.
Bedlam
Now both regular armoured cars and armoured aircraft can participate in Bedlam.
Patrol
Now both regular armoured vehicles and armoured aircraft can participate in this mode.
Attention! All 4 new maps are only available in battles involving armoured aircraft!
New PvP map “Air harbour”
The map was created specifically for battles involving armoured aircraft.
The location is a former scientific complex of the Waderkvarn corporation, located on one of the remote dams, in the middle of the Red rocks.
When the Steppenwolfs acquired armoured aircraft, they immediately headed to this location and turned it into their own manufacturing outpost for repairing armoured aircraft and assembling individual parts for the huge flying machines. The main problem for the military were the ubiquitous Lunatics, who found their way through the mountains, and began to annoy the Wolves on a regular basis, stealing their resources and aircraft parts. It was because of such raids that the raiders soon acquired air monsters of their own.
The map features covered areas on each side for the safety of ground vehicles, as well as environments for vertical gameplay. This will allow armoured aircraft to perform unexpected maneuvers for the enemy.
New PvP map “Wolf outpost”
The map was created specifically for battles involving armoured aircraft.
A fortified and once heavily guarded Steppenwolf facility. Previously there was a “Stratofort Components” plant with foundries designed to serve the military-industrial complex (in particular — the production of components for army aviation). Using the large reserves of materials and facilities preserved here after Crossout, the Wolves were able to restart production of rotors and hulls for armoured aircraft.
Due to their terrain and the placement of covers, armoured aircraft will feel less comfortable at very high altitudes, but at the same time, there are areas on the border of the location where only they will be able to move. There are a number of covers on the map for ground vehicles — they can move between them and take cover.
The base capture only takes place on the bridge itself, unlike, for example, on the Sinto City map.
New PvP map “Sanctuary”
The map was created specifically for battles involving armoured aircraft.
A map where you can conquer not only plains but also mountains!
The location combines a cyber setting and a completely overgrown green setting. The mountains served the Syndicate as an excellent shelter from enemies, but, as you know, sooner or later everything becomes revealed. Unfortunately for the Syndicate, it happened sooner, rather than later.
The map is designed specifically for ground and air battles. Even if your ground vehicle is equipped with a weapon with limited firing angles, on this map you will have the opportunity to get creative and shoot into the skies. The location also has a central antenna, which will hide the player from fire from above. But not everything is so simple: you still need to get to it and take control over this zone.
Mountains are both a good place to shoot at enemy flying vehicles and a good hiding place for armoured aircraft, because you can quickly hide behind them from most homing weapons.
New PvP map “Gates of the Valley”
ATTENTION! Due to technical reasons, the map will not be available in console versions of the game for a short period after the update is released.
The map was created specifically for battles involving armoured aircraft.
A canyon where two opposing factions have met.
The map is presented in a desert setting. It used to be one of the military’s routes for transporting supplies, but it’s been exposed. As a result, the Steppenwolfs and Lunatics encountered each other among the rocks and stones.
The location is a small maze with arenas. We’ve put a lot of work on its terrain so that you have the ability to freely shoot at aerial targets at almost any time.
On the map, you can find tunnels where you can wait out aerial fire and just catch your breath after another attack by enemy flying vehicles. There is also a long tunnel at the edge of the location that can take the player to a plateau with a great overview of the entire battlefield.
The map also features air ships, which serve not only as a protection from the enemy team’s fire, but are also independent combat units that will not let you stay in one place for a long time.
