Gaijin Entertainment announces the release of the “Next Step” major content update for the post-apocalyptic online action game Crossout. Pilots and designers of armored vehicles and armored aircraft get access to mecha-style battle walkers, a completely new type of armored combat vehicle. A new “The Way to the Top” map and the new “For the Emperor” brawl are also a part of the update.
Mecha legs are a new type of chassis for armored vehicles that can be used in conjunction with other parts and weapons to build your own unique combat vehicle. Several leg options are available, differing in characteristics, design and special capabilities. For example, the “Tengu” model allows you to dash towards the enemy, and the “RN-M Dino” allows you to lift off from the ground for a short time. Armored vehicles with new mecha legs can take part in battles in PvP battles marked as “Arcade”, all PvE raids, and certain brawls.
Arcade is a new permanent type of PvP where all vehicles, including walkers and armored aircraft, can participate. The performance of some modules is modified (i.e. speed and weapon damage are increased) to ensure the most dynamic battles. Battles are held in a team-on-team format, with respawn after death enabled. To win in “Arcade”, you need to pick up capsules that remain at the site of the death of opponents, and save the capsules of fallen allies before the enemy team gets to them.
Simultaneously with the release of the update, a new season of the “Next Step” battle pass started, among the rewards of which are new weapons, modules for armored vehicles, cosmetic items and resources.
You can read more about them in the development diaries on the official website of the game.
