Crossout: Invisible Observers come out of the shadows
You’ve got something on your nose, survivor.
We wanted to come clean: there are some things we didn’t tell you about in “The New Frontier” patch notes. The thing is, there was actually a new faction added to the game with the update: the Invisible Devs Observers! It’s hard to find them, but we still managed to gather some information about the new Valley residents.
The Observers observed the game and decided to add some new mechanics to it. They created a whole new update for the game, which is already on the live server when this text is published. Let’s take a look at it!
The new faction “Invisible Observers”
The fiercely charismatic leader of the Invisible Observers
The origins of this faction remain unclear. The mysterious Observers keep to the shadows (oftentimes they live in underground tunnels) and show themselves to the survivors only in the times of most dire need. Their leader seems familiar though, but it’s just a hunch…
Some say that the faction is connected to the creation of Crossout. Others believe that Observers are just a group of ordinary survivors who decided to take control of the Valley’s future. Nobody knows anything for sure, but it’s undeniable that Observers have much influence over the world of Crossout.
CM Hunt event is now Dev Hunt event
Our community managers like to venture into the Wasteland from time to time and give players a chance to say thank you in person or to completely destroy them. And now this event has reached a new level.
The Dev Hunt is a new daily event that has the developers play the game every day until they “understand the experience of playing Crossout”. And survivors will have a lot of opportunities to loot the legendary “Hater” and “Development team” patches.
P.S. There is a small nuance, however. If a developer is in the battle, the team that they’re put into will automatically win. If both teams have developers in them, all the non-developer players will be destroyed and the battle is won by both teams at once. Because all developers are on the same team.
Personal Q&A sessions
Thanks to the arrival of the Invisible Observers, the personal Q&A sessions with the developers will now take place in players’ garages. Just imagine: you came up with a question for the dev team, you send it to the game chat and the answer is instantly displayed under the “BATTLE” button! You think this is a joke? No, this is reality.
The invisible hand of the market
The rumors that uranium will soon depreciate are getting more prominent. Observers dealt with the problem before it happened and set a fixed price for the game’s main valuable treasure: 9.99 gold for 10 uranium ore! You’re welcome.
Selecting talents in battle on each prestige level
The Observers saw that players want new rewards for prestige levels with the Engineers faction. After meticulously studying the video games market, they came up with a genius solution, which will also greatly improve the game’s balance.
Each prestige level will unlock a choice of a battle talent that will greatly affect your performance. The higher the level, the more talents you will have to choose from in battle. Ten talents? Twenty? There’s no limit! At high prestige levels, you will spend at least 10 minutes each battle just to see all talents available to you! The gameplay will be so diverse!
No more Battle Passes. Gacha loot boxes all the way!
How do you do fellow kids? The Observers heard that testing your luck is the latest trend in games, so they decided to reshape the game’s monetization system accordingly.
Now you can get modules, weapons, and every piece of content in Crossout only from loot boxes. There are no downsides of this change, because “random is the new fun!”
Something funny for the 1st of April
This update is very important and serious, but with the release date being April 1, there should be at least one funny thing added to the game with it. The Observers decided to add a new humorous weapon to the game: the “Clown Catapult”.
Is that clown bothering you? Use the new cannon. It shoots balloons that deal no damage, but attach to the enemy car, raise it into the air and carry it far away over the horizon (armoured aircraft be like 
). Finally, a new support weapon in Crossout!
Let’s not forget the holiday presents. All survivors will receive a gift of 1 piece of Engineer badges, scrap metal, copper, wires, plastic, electronics, batteries, and uranium ore upon logging into the game. Enjoy!
