[PC][PS][Xbox] Crossout: Rise of the machines

Let’s celebrate the New Year in the Wasteland! In this holiday update you can expect: a new brawl “Rise of the machines” with a leaderboard and valuable rewards, a wide variety of parts and cosmetic items on the festive workbench, a new relic generator and numerous balance changes and improvements to existing mechanics.

“Rise of the machines” event

Attention! The event will last until January 14 inclusive!

Festive brawl

“Rise of the machines” is a team PvE brawl in which a team of survivors (4 players) will have to work together to fend off the waves of regular enemies and leaders and set records for the number of waves completed and points scored.
Both regular armoured vehicles and armoured aircraft can participate in the battle.
The battle takes place in a special version of the “Ashen ring” map.
At the beginning of the battle, players are granted a limited amount of time.
- It can be increased by destroying waves of enemies and leaders as quickly as possible.
- Each destruction of the player’s vehicle results in the loss of a certain amount of time.
From time to time during the battle among the enemies there will be vehicles marked with a special icon. The destruction of such vehicles will provide additional random bonuses that temporarily strengthen the armoured vehicles of all your allies.
Among the enemy ranks, there will also be cars with blue visors. Destroying the blue visors frees the vehicle from the Ravagers’ control, makes it friendly to your team, and brings you extra points.
The results of battles are recorded in the mode leaderboard and will be updated if you manage to beat your previous record.
As a reward for the brawl, players receive “Wires”, “Electronics” and “Crackers”.

“Crackers” can also be earned in the special PvP mission “New Year’s fever”.

“Lost and found explosives” workbench

The workbench is only available during the “Snowstorm” event.
Players can use the workbench to produce various cosmetic items using common resources and a special New Year’s resource “Crackers”.
“Crackers” is a temporary resource. At the end of the “Snowstorm” event, all unused crackers will be removed without the option to exchange them.
In addition to cosmetic items, players can produce a number of already upgraded parts. This will require resources and standard versions of these parts.

Leaderboard

The best of the best will receive valuable rewards, depending on their position in the leaderboard at the end of the event:

1 place: 3 “Legendary merchant case” containers with a tradable legendary part of your choice.
Places 2 — 3: 2 “Legendary merchant case” containers with a tradable legendary part of your choice.
Places 4 — 10: 1 “Legendary merchant case” with a tradable legendary part of your choice and 1 “Epic merchant case” container with a tradable epic part of your choice.
Places 11 – 100: 1 “Legendary case” container with a non-tradable legendary part of your choice and 1 “Epic merchant case” container with a tradable epic part of your choice.
Places 101 – 500: 1 “Epic merchant case” container with a tradable epic part of your choice.
Places 501 – 5000: 1 “Epic case” container with a non-tradable epic part of your choice.

Special daily challenge

During the event, a special daily challenge will be available to you. To complete it, you need to take part in the New Year’s brawl “Rise of the machines” 2 times. As a reward for completing the challenge, you will get a “Strategic reserve” container.

New Year’s promotion for structural parts

Only from December 14 to January 14 inclusive, any structural part in the “Badge exchange” section can be obtained for only 150 Engineer badges, instead of 300.

It’s time to expand the range of parts in your storage to assemble the car of your dreams!

Ducks

You can now produce a unique duck “Ninjaduck” on the Engineer workbench “Secret workshop”. The decor is produced from “Crew duck”, “Globeduck” and “Winterduck”.

“Menace of the Machines” pack

Armoured car: “Unstoppable”;
Epic cabin: “Savior”;
Weapon: “Whirl” (3 pcs.);
Hardware: engine “Colossus”, generator “Gasgen”, radiator “RN Seal”;
Character portrait: “Sarah the Menace of Machines”;
Paint cans: “Material: Aluminum”, “Carmine gloss” and “Midnight”;
Maximum number of parts increased to 75;
1500 in-game coins.

During the year-long investigation, Sarah found out that the real arsonist was Gronch, whose traces led her to a lair in the mountains. The young woman blew up the entrance to the hideout, but inside she was met not by her nemesis, but by hundreds of red lights of the Ravagers.

“Menace of the Machines (Deluxe edition)” pack

Armoured car: “Eraser”;
Epic cabin: “Savior”;
Weapons: “Whirl” with a unique CK “Recycle” (3 pcs.);
New paint: “Scars”;
Hardware: engine “Colossus”, generator “Gasgen”, radiator “RN Seal”;
Decorations: “Truck exhaust pipe” and “EYE”;
Character portrait: “Sarah the Menace of Machines”;
Paint cans: “Warg”, “Material: Aluminum” and “Red crystal”;
A set of stickers;
Maximum number of parts increased to 80.
4000 in-game coins.

The Ravagers surrounded the young woman’s armoured vehicle, trying to capture it. Luckily, Sarah was used to carrying a sawed-off shotgun under her seat, which helped her to escape. But the “ravaging” had already begun to spread across the Valley, and it was up to Sarah to stop it.

Attention! Both packs will be available until January 14 inclusive!

All garages were decorated for the New Year’s event.
Environment objects on a number of maps have been improved, which will correct a number of cases where an armoured car could get stuck on the surface when moving or collide with invisible obstacles:
- Fortress;
- Peaceful atom;
- Naukograd;
- Founders Canyon;
- Powerplant;
- “Control-17” station;
- Sandy gulf;
- Ship graveyard.
The “Terminal-45” map has been removed from the rotation of the “Bedlam” mode.

Tonnage recalculation mechanics

Previously in the game, only armoured vehicles with legs could effectively use other types of movement parts as armour, a source of additional tonnage, or an additional perk that amplified the armoured vehicle.

We agree that this is a serious problem, especially in “Clan Wars” as well as in battles at high PS levels. This solution will reduce the effectiveness of such use of additional movement parts and will not lead to severe limitations in the constructor.

With this mechanic, the movement parts are grouped according to their “height” above the surface:

“Group 1”: “Low Clearance”, “Stallion” and “Camber” (1 - 1.5 structural pins above the surface). “Stallions” and “Cambers” are included in this group due to their variable ground clearance.
“Group 2”: all other wheels and tracks (2 - 3 structural pins above the surface).
“Group 3”: mechanical legs and hovers.

Such simple grouping facilitates the work, because the changes will affect a limited number of assemblies. So, for example, a car on “Bigfoot” and “Hermits” will not suffer in any way, even though these wheels have some difference in height.

Now, when mounting movement parts from different groups on the vehicle, only the ones belonging to the “high” group will give a constant tonnage. That is, if the vehicle is equipped with movement parts of the “third” and “second” groups at the same time, then only those of the “third” group will provide tonnage and if the movement parts of the “second” and “first” groups are mounted, then only those of the “second” one will provide it (etc.).

Tonnage recalculation occurs with a 2 sec. delay after the movement part of the “lower groups” contact the surface or break away from the surface.
Recalculation doesn’t occur if all movement parts do not touch the ground (if the car is in flight after a jump or is upside down).
The perks of such movement parts are enabled and disabled synchronously with the recalculation of the tonnage.
If the movement parts from the “third” group are lost, the mounted movement parts from the “second” (or “first”) group and all their parameters and bonuses start working permanently.

In this state, such mechanics:

Do not affect the majority of armoured cars.
Due to points 1 and 2, they shouldn’t harm “inclined” vehicles.
Do not prohibit the use of “low” movement parts as armour on vehicles with legs and hovers, but should reduce the effectiveness of such assemblies.

IMPORTANT: due to the introduction of this mechanic, the forced disabling of hovers when mounting other movement parts has been removed.

Interface

If the movement parts of different levels are mounted, then:

The “lower” movement parts are highlighted in orange in assembly mode mode.
In the vehicle characteristics, the word “Tonnage” is highlighted in orange.

When you hover your cursor over it, the amount of tonnage they do not provide will be displayed on the movement parts.
An additional line of explanation appears in the tooltip.

Improvements of the “anti-wedge” mechanics

Now, when applying additional mass from an enemy vehicle, the amount of movement parts detached from the ground is also taken into account.

For example: if a car has 10 wheels, it hits another car and 4 wheels go off the ground, then the car will apply only 40% of the additional mass relative to what it would have applied on the current game server. Hovers and movement parts that don’t give tonnage (mounted as armour and do not touch the ground) don’t participate in the calculation of the coefficient, that is, only the movement parts that initially raised the vehicle above the surface are taken into account.

Accordingly, if after the contact not a single movement part comes off the ground, then the mass won’t be applied.

This should eliminate the situations where contacting a higher enemy part resulted in outweighing (and immobilization). In general, the calculation of the applied mass and the mechanics itself will become more fair.

Balance changes

PU-1 Charge

Mass reduced from 576 to 445 kg.

Comment: the change will simplify the assembly of a vehicle with “Charge” and will increase the demand for this generator relative to “Ampere”.

Goblin

Damage reduced by 5%.
Rate of fire reduced by 19%.
Now lets 30% of damage through instead of 40%.

Gremlin

Damage reduced by 10%.
Now lets 30% of damage through instead of 40%.

Comment: in current realities, both shotguns have inflated damage to energy ratio and an overly high survivability.

Kapkan

Vehicle capture time reduced from 7 to 6 sec.

Comment: a player who is caught in the “trap” essentially becomes defenceless and only in rare cases has the opportunity to escape. We believe that 7 sec. of such a state in conditions of fast battles is too much.

Expanded ammo pack

Mass increased from 288 to 408 kg.

Comment: it’s no secret that these ammo packs are used not only for additional projectiles, but also as armour, due to the rather forgiving mass of the module relative to its durability. In most cases, only one or two modules are used for additional ammunition. The change will not greatly affect such assemblies, but will be noticeable for vehicles that were armoured with these modules.

Miller

Mass increased from 495 to 565 kg.
Added the ammunition parameter. Base value: 310 pts.

Comment: this minigun is highly effective in battles (8000 — 10000 PS levels). Vehicles with Millers consistently stand out not only for their high durability, but also for the amount of damage inflicted per battle. Increasing the mass of the minigun will reduce the overall durability of such vehicles, and the limited ammunition will add an element of control and make the effectiveness of the minigun more dependent on the player’s actions.

Gerrida I

Tonnage reduced from 1600 to 1400 kg.

Comment: at the moment, this is the “strongest” movement part in the game. It allows you to assemble very durable and fairly fast and maneuverable vehicles. At this point, we wouldn’t want to limit the main features of these mechanical legs (speed and mobility) in any way, so we decided to make changes to their tonnage and make vehicles with them lighter and more vulnerable. The edit comes on top of the above changes to tonnage recalculation and the use of additional movement parts on the car.

Blight

Perk damage bonus reduced from 40% to 35%.
The distance required to charge the perk increased from 300 to 500 m.

Comment: right now the cabin provides an excessive bonus to vehicles that use fire weapons. The change would make the ratio of the bonus itself to the frequency of its use more fair.

Astraeus

Reload time increased from 4 to 5 sec.
Damage reduced by 10%.
Perk damage bonus reduced from 60% to 50%.

Comment: the overestimated effectiveness of “Astraeus” is observed over a wide range of PS levels (from 7000 to 14000). Often the damage dealt by these weapons outperforms the damage dealt by ranged weapons of higher rarities.

GL-55 Impulse

Durability reduced from 192 to 171 pts.
Projectile speed reduced by 10%.
Reduced accuracy:
The effect of vehicle speed on accuracy increased by 30%.
Increase in spread after the shot increased by 17%.
Reduced aiming speed by 25%.

Comment: the previous adjustments to this weapon proved to be excessive, and increased survivability and damage dealing too much. We are partially reversing the changes made in the “Depths of the Wasteland” update, but would like to note that the final parameters of the grenade launcher still remain higher than before those changes were implemented.

Cerberus

Added 30% explosive damage resistance to the front of the cabin. Resistance to ram damage also applies to the front of the cabin.

Comment: thanks to the change, the built-in melee weapon becomes similar to other melee weapons, and the cabin is not as vulnerable as before.

Werewolf

Now, after the cabin is destroyed, a drone with a “Fafnir” shotgun remains for an unlimited time.

Comment: this change is aimed primarily at increasing interest in using this cabin. A controlled drone with an unlimited “lifetime” will make the game more interesting even after the main vehicle is destroyed.

Ghost

The cabin’s perk now starts resetting after dealing damage (not ramming damage), not after exiting invisibility.

Comment: the cabin’s perk was too dependent on invisibility modules. The edit gives the player more control over the implementation of bonus damage.

Caucasus

Vertical aiming angles changed from +40/-20 to +20/-10.

Comment: the weapon becomes too effective when it is mounted on armoured aircraft. The change should result in target locking being dropped more often in aerial combat when manoeuvring. In ground battles, “Caucasus” rarely uses such vertical aiming angles, and therefore the adjustment should not have a noticeable effect on them.

BC-17 Tsunami

Reload time reduced from 7 to 6 sec.

ZS-46 Mammoth

Reload time reduced from 6.6 to 6 sec.

Comment: both “Tsunami” and “Mammoth” have an excessively long reload time, which (taking into account the type and characteristics of the weapons) doesn’t fit into the current pace of battles.

Athena

The number of shells in the burst increased from 7 to 10.
Damage and heating from each hit in the burst reduced by 30%.
Now the spread increases more as the burst is fired, but it stops increasing when the weapon is rotating.

Comment: the effectiveness of the revolver is too high. The edit preserves the possible total damage, but stretches it to a larger number of projectiles and complicates its implementation (including the perk that requires hitting all projectiles in the queue).

Spark III

Damage frequency reduced by 25%.
Damage increased by 46%.
Negative effect of the perk reduced from 7.5% to 4%.
Negative effect stacks up to 15 times (instead of 8).

Comment: now “Spark” is more often used in a single copy (as an auxiliary weapon that quickly inflicts the maximum negative effect on the enemy). With these changes, we want to make this weapon more independent: it will now take longer for the maximum negative effect to be applied, but the damage will be significantly higher during this time.

Apollo IV

Durability increased from 363 pts. to 427 pts.

Comment: edits are related to the fact that the generator is destroyed much more often than the “Thor-6S”, which affects its demand and effectiveness.

Reaper

Added perk: after 10 hits on the enemy, fires an armour-piercing projectile that penetrates ap to 3 structure pins without losing damage. Each miss reduces the number of accumulated hits.
The mechanics of firing without overheating have been preserved.

Comment: the weapon’s effectiveness is insufficient when compared to “Miller”. The special projectile, as in the case of the “Miller”, has an increased impulse.

Kronos

Charge consumption now stops/doesn’t start if there is nothing to restore (i.e. all attached parts have full durability, or there are none at all).

Comment: thanks to this change, the cabin’s charge will no longer be wasted.

Muninn

Now the cooldown time of drones that had the perk active at the time of destruction is reduced by 35%.

Comment: with this change we compensate for the lack of efficiency of the cabin in conjunction with the drones.

CC-18 Typhoon

Reload time reduced from 7 to 6 sec.
The negative effect of the perk is now 30% (instead of 40%), and its duration is 2.5 sec. (instead of 3 sec.).

Comment: the reasons for changing the reload time are similar to “Tsunami” and “Mammoth”. A slight weakening of the negative effect of the cannon’s perk is related to the fact that it will now be applied more often.

RL-9 Helicon

Now, instead of seconds of projectile flight (0.75 sec.), the meters travelled by the projectile (180 m.) are used to activate the perk.

Comment: the change should make it easier for the perk to interact with the projectile speed upgrade, as well as with the perk of the “Steppe spider” cabin.

Flash I

Damage frequency reduced by 25%.
Damage increased by 46%.
The negative effect of the perk reduced from 5% to 3.5%.
The negative effect now stacks up to 17 times (instead of 12).

Comment: these changes are similar to the changes for “Spark”.

Ripper

The weapon now deals 3.5 times more damage to bumpers and passive melee weapons.
Fixed a bug that caused disks to disappear when they hit water.

Comment: the melee type of damage is a feature of the “Ripper”, which allows it to deal full damage to parts that let damage through. Because of this feature, it loses too much effectiveness when its disks hit bumpers and passive melee weapons that have high resistance.

Optimization of bonuses for the part upgrade system

Made numerous changes to the “Power” and “Handling” upgrade categories to make the possible bonuses more useful. A number of bonuses were replaced with new ones, and those that were insufficiently effective were amplified.

The old bonuses of the already upgraded parts were replaced automatically.

The improvement in tonnage of all movement parts increased to +10%.
Mass limit upgrade from engines increased to +10%.
Recharge boosters: added effectiveness improvement (+10%).
Cabins:
- instead of damage from self-destruction, added a bonus to the built-in radar and radio: +200 m (for the “Hippogriff” cabin — +15% to all radar parameters).
- instead of the explosion radius from self-destruction, a added a new bonus: +3 km/h to speed.
- the reduction in time to self-destruction is now -30%.
- upgrade to the cabin tonnage increased to +15%.
In all weapons, unless otherwise noted:
- Reload time upgrade increased to -10%.
- Rotation speed upgrade increased to +30%.
- Ammunition upgrade increased to +50%.
- Hit impulse upgrade increased to +50%.
Added the “spread stability” upgrade: this includes the old “increase spread below” and “aim speed”, and also affects the increase in spread from speed and turning.
The logic for the “time to overheat” upgrade has been reworked: it no longer affects the maximum time to cooling.

Improved vehicle position synchronization

Probably a lot of players have encountered a situation where, as you drive past the corner of a building, your car stops abruptly and can’t drive any further until you move backwards. This is caused by the desynchronization of the player’s position on the client and server: to the player it seems that his car is “hold by the air”, while for other players it crashed into the wall. The greater the movement speed and ping, the higher the probability of getting into such a situation.

We have made changes that should speed up the synchronization of the position, and thus minimize the amount of such problems.

Other

Improved the collision models for a number of parts:

Sinus-0;
Assembler;
TS-1 Horizon;
Neutrino;
Gravastar;
Emily;
Arothron.

On the exhibition, added a filter by vehicle blueprint type to the “Own” and “Liked” tabs.
Now it is possible to activate the free camera in the “Game center” mode settings. The key (or combination of keys) responsible for activation of the free camera can be configured in the “Key bindings” menu. You can also activate the free camera in the test drive mode.
Now in the “Custom battle” lobby for PvP-missions you can select the type of vehicle you will participate in the mode (armoured car, armoured aircraft or leviathan), if such an option is available for the selected mode. In case of leviathans, you can select no more than 1 leviathan per team.
Pop-up notifications are now displayed in the lower right corner of the garage screen, and only if there are no additional windows open. If any other windows are open, all notifications are automatically sent to the Notification center.
Now, when selecting an armoured aircraft slot, the weapon and module settings window displays the layout for armoured aircraft.
For new maps (Wolf outpost, Gates of the Valley, Sanctuary, Air harbour) added display of correct regions of their location on the world map.
Changed the display of the perk for the “M-29 Protector” and “M-25 Guardian” machine guns.
Improved the appearance of the characteristics and trading windows for parts and resources.
Improved display of mode conditions on the world map.
