Upcoming season in Crossout

Hello, survivors!

The “Road to Singularity” season is coming to its end, which means it’s time to take a little glimpse into the future!

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.

It’s a turbulent time in the Valley right now — the period of calm seems to be nearing its end, and the factions are starting to attempt to take control of territories again. Skirmishes take place here and there. So far they are local in nature, but who knows what this could escalate into in the very near future…

Oh, and now the connection is breaking up as well! Well, we’ll transmit everything we can — and let’s hope that at least some of the data will arrive intact.

Recently we managed to get hold of an extremely interesting Nomad vehicle — or rather, what’s left of it. It was burning out in a canyon near Rock City. Its certain design solutions surprised us, some amused us, and some, frankly, shocked us.

Cabin

We’ve heard that the Nomads call it the “Hippogriff”, after the flying monster from ancient legends. They clearly stick to their traditions and once again build their creation on the remains of aerial vehicles from the old world.

The cabin is equipped with a built-in radar — you can’t expect anything else from an aviation project. Besides the radar, we found a strange-looking device inside. There was only one button, and we simply couldn’t help but press it! Fortunately, nothing exploded. Quite the opposite: the display lit up, transmitting an image from an external camera. The display showed our cars that were very clearly highlighted in red — even those that were not in direct line of sight!

Decor and structural parts

We managed to remove these unusual parts from the hull. The alloy is strong, but rather light, and the paint is hardly even burned — while the vehicle was almost completely burned out!

We have already come up with a couple of ways to adapt them to our cars. There’s no doubt that you will come up with hundreds of such ways!

And now, the main part of this machine, which surprised us… It will be better if we just attach a picture. This will be worth a thousand words:

Now it’s a legal cheat cab and probably some new weapon. Enjoy.

For me, it’s not enough to throw in another ten bucks.

Not looking great. That’s it when they give you one good battlepass they got to follow up with a turd. Just like how polar lights came after an epic bp that was the big chase .

At least there be new structural parts.

Well, I’m not gonna let the cat out of the bag, but I found this announcement to be quite interesting, and I look forward to more cryptic Waderkvarn corporate disclosures. Like I’ve said before, I’m all about the immersion. Consider me entertained.

Thanks, Devs :wink:

I’ve always wanted a cabin with built in radar detector, and I’ve suggested it here.
Maybe the devs do read the forum?

Curious what will also be in this update.

Me too. I’m liking the lore.

There has been considerable improvement to their sci-fi this year. I’ve not been a fan of their sci-fi in the past, but I’m into this Waderkvarn Corporation, I think. It makes my tin-foil hat vibrate at a frequency I find very amusing. I want more of this.

A cabin with a built in detector has been a suggestion for a long time, this will free up a point on builds that need the detector to work.

For example: if you don’t run stealth, and run a redhot engine, you can now run a full 16pt of drones and still have a radar for the drones to see their targets.

Not that drones are good :wink: lol - but that does free up a point for those builds.

Also, it pretty much gives a free radar to clan builds that didn’t have room to run radar. Which is really cool.

Yeah, I know some people will see it as a boring perk, but I think it will end as useful as beholder has been, for similar reasons.

I like the perk too. I struggle with this radar thing with my drones. They only really work at very low power-scores and adding a decent radar helps the drones find their target, but it also jacks up the power-score. This is such an issue that I now use Falcon as a co-driver, rather than R2-D2 (or whatever it’s name is). Plus, if I do run drones the conventional way and somebody shoots off my radar, then I’m mostly screwed. Falcon just works better.

Co-drivers could use a little tweaking, IMO. What they did to Billy was terrible. I hope they have some plan to introduce a co-driver that buffs turret rotation.

I checked Reddit, and apparently the “cat’s” still in the bag…it’s not a big “cat,” but it’s something. I liked it, and I need to send Rex (switch personas) to go fetch that “cat.” That “cat’s” right up his alley.

A module that gives you the effect of an aimbot program, highlighting enemies even in cover with a red outline.

Hmmm…

A recon cab I think will work with a lot of stuff. Plus being able to legit wall-hack will probably allow for missile targeting as well as be a potential boon for mandrake, heather, incinerators provided the obstacle isn’t too high.

There’s a cute easter egg attached in the message.

I see somebody else has their tin-foil hat tuned-in and focused properly. I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one picking up the signal.

You get a code at the end. (Not in screenshots)




Also this is an easter egg. We already knew the Heli event was maybe coming again. Here is another clue it’s coming next patch.

The videos on the website (I think) are showing a new map.

Hopefully its the build your own copter event or has more than one copter to choose from.

I wonder if they will add a free crate drop for console? They normally don’t unless we complain.

I think it’s a little unfair myself even though I’m on PC.
