‘Knight Riders’ event
To all survivors! Crossout sees the return of a major game event, so eagerly anticipated by players — ‘Knight Riders’. A soldier expedition, led by a boy named Martin will pass through the wasteland. These warriors are called Knights. The legend of Martin and his knights reads:
A sixteen-year-old Martin gathered an army under the white cross. Formidable drivers of perfect machines. Knights of the White Cross. Knechte. The First Expedition. Such Flandern!
Psycho Pete was the first to be visited by foreigners from Castle Country. What happened next is the story I've been told by Marduk,Pete's personal mechanic, who was riding the same car. Lunatics were circling around the Knights like vultures. There was no shooting. Martin, calm and collected, climbed out of the car with a banner and waited for the leader. Pete rode up to him and started shaking with laughter — a bit from the boy's self-importance, a bit more from Fireblood he'd taken before departure. The boy pulled his hand and looked him in the eye. Fireblood all but evaporated. The two leaders disappeared in the ‘Wagen’ and were not seen for twenty minutes. Twenty minutes when the metal sweated rust and time contracted. The ‘Wagen’ doors opened and both leaders finally emerged.
The Lunatics retreated. Knechte continued their journey through the wasteland.
Though isolated, Knechte are ready to give missions to locals and pay them with their own currency, talers. Why do we need their currency, you may ask? To buy their goods, of course! And the products are very interesting...
First, the paints. Players will be able to decorate their cars with heraldry, that the knights of bygone days used to adorn their battle horses: crosses, red and yellow stripes and eagles. Secondly, decor and wheels — also in knightly style. And, of course, their famous horn, that produces a deep twang in the best traditions of German hunting. The sound of this horn is remembered forever by those who have met the detachment of cleats. And got away alive.
But most importantly, what separates the Knechte from other survivors and what they use to scare away raider gangs — is their monstrous crossbows, piercing armour with huge arrows like needles. We also prepared 3 new types of weapons. You can get them, along with knightly equipment, from a special container, timed for their visit.
The event has already started for PC players, for PS 4 and Xbox One players the event will start in the nearest future with the next update.
You can learn more about the event from the change log.
Good luck on the road, Knights!
