Part 1
Part 2
Hello, survivors! Let’s continue to explore the next season and learn about its features. It’s finally time to talk about the special new parts in detail. Please welcome the robotic legs! This is the official name of the new category of movement parts. And the vehicles that use those parts are called battle walkers!
We have already hinted about the change of game mode for armoured aircraft, which will also include walkers. Now it’s time to find out more details about the new Arcade mode, which will have special gameplay. Let’s go!
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. This applies not only to information about possible unique features of new parts, but also to the appearance of the parts themselves.
Please welcome: the robotic legs!
As we previously announced, there are three pairs of robotic legs: one of special rarity and two epic ones. Please note that the epic legs have two variations: light and heavy. Let’s have a look!
Special robotic legs
Light epic robotic legs
Heavy epic robotic legs
Epic robotic legs have cool powers. We’ve featured them on our social networks before, but now we would like to go into more detail.
Light epic robotic legs can do a quick dash forward. Heavy epic robotic legs can take off for a short time, like a jetpack. Note that when new robotic legs are installed on a vehicle, it binds the direction of movement to the direction of the camera.
New game mode — Arcade
We tried to make the new mode fast, challenging and a bit wild. It will replace the current armoured aircraft mode. Arcade is a permanent PvP mode for playing on any vehicles, including battle walkers and armoured aircraft.
Note that walkers will be playable in all major PvE raids, co-op missions and Bedlam, as well as in some brawls and special temporary events/modes. This includes a special major PvE event coming this fall.
In the new mode, battles are fought in a team PvP format. To win, teams need to pick up a certain amount of special resources, which are dropped by destroyed enemies and are necessary to win the battle. Arcade mode has respawns.
You can not only pick up resources dropped by enemies, but also “save” the resources dropped by your allies, which adds tactical depth to the mode. For example, if your ally gets destroyed, you can pick up the resources they dropped, preventing the enemy team from getting points.
To add a little bit of mayhem, we included permanent modifiers to the parameters of armoured vehicles in the mode. For example, the power of cabins will change, the speed of some movement parts will increase, weapon damage will increase, etc. Note that some modifiers do not affect armoured aircraft and battle walkers, and some apply to all combat vehicles. You will learn all nuances of the Arcade mode modifiers in the full description of the update.
One more thing.
We would like to invite you to the official Crossout Discord server to participate in a text-based Q&A session. During the event, you will be able to ask the developers questions about the new robotic legs and Arcade mode. The session will take place in a specially created text channel of the server. Our team will try to answer as many questions related to the main topic of the session as possible. Communication will be in English.
We are waiting for you on September 16! We will announce the exact time of the session separately.
