r/Crossout - What to expect in the upcoming update. January 2025

Hello, survivors!

It seems not so long ago that the “Wasteland drift” update was released, but it’s the middle of January already. And while you’re street racing (or chasing down those racer rascals) in the new “No brakes” brawl, we’re ready to talk about the next update.

A number of familiar brawls will return after a well-deserved break, as well as the new event with a reward scale, major balance changes, and a new epic…

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.

Brawls in the update

The first update of the new year will bring back some familiar game modes. The whirlwind fray of the “Dronapocalypse”, tactical matches of the “Sea battle”, battles of the “Impulsiveness” and a first person view of the battlefield where Scavengers face the Syndicate.

And that’s not all! Do you remember the “Witch hunt”? We know you like that mode. Well, it’s not going to return in the next update. But there is another “hunt” afoot, the “Winter hunt”. It may be similar in gameplay to its Halloween counterpart, but the preset vehicles are quite different… You’ll see soon enough.

Other nice surprises

Mary, Jane and survivors who are willing to join them in looting another warehouse of valuables will have a chance to do so in a new event with a reward scale. Meanwhile, the Syndicate and the Scavengers are having a showdown and causing a ruckus throughout the Valley.

There are even rumours of a new awesome weapon that allows you to hurl bouncing ****** at enemies. It will become available a little later after the update releases, so stay tuned.

In addition, there are a number of different improvements and changes planned for the update: updating the “Breaker” model, as well as fixing some known bugs and releasing the balance changes, which are available for testing this weekend.

If you don’t see the “Breaker” model improvements on the test server, it means they’re coming to the game with the update.

That’s all for today. See you in future developer blog entries and other news!

what about the “Breaker”. Another hidden change?

Improving the model. That means changing what it looks like.

like i didnt knew what model is… it wasnt my question anyway to start with.

the thing is it can be “physics model” too. commonly known as “physics shape”

so you know now.

My question is why they do not include many things like this in update notes. There might be more changes they forgot to even write about. People call it commonly “hidden changes”

Glad to see a model improvement, PLEASE improve the executioner 88mm. It is really tall for a limited firing angle cannon and that stupid box on the back makes it so that when you put armor around it it can barely turn to the left.

Thank you!

Probably wrote patch notes, then made new breaker model, then said “we could squeeze this in there”

anyone want to take a crack at that?
hurl bouncing “blanks” at enemies.
bettys? potato? carrot?
watermelons? ok thats a stretch but still would be funny lol.

yup.

I’m gonna guess drones, just because the idea of bouncing drones is funny

that would be a fun one! lol i hope its drones! :smiley:

Might also be flinging midgets…it’s a sport in some countries (so I’m told).

Explosive balls of some kind maybe? IDK man :laughing:

We gonna get a circus cannon too?? :laughing:

[insert circus music here]

why not a tuba that shoots bullets and a cannon that shoots clown noses, every time it hits someone it makes a honk sound effect? :rofl:

Some Flintstone’s “Scrambling Feet” SFX would be fun for the Mechs. They should do a horn with it, because it would probably work great for cars too.
