'Crossout' (ALL) PvE Overhaul & April Fool's Event Revealed

by Rainier on March 28, 2018 @ 8:16 a.m. PDT

Set in a post-apocalyptic world devastated by an alien invasion and human genetic testing gone awry, Crossout is a new team based multiplayer vehicle combat game.

Crossout tests players’ creativity in building, upgrading and customizing deadly armored vehicles to destroy enemies in open player vs player combat.

No two vehicles in Crossout are the same, as players can create any kind of combat vehicle from the speediest buggy to the heaviest of off-road vehicles to reflect their warrior sense of gameplay. Offering complete customization, Crossout gives players thousands of possibilities to design their vehicle, including shape, armor, weapons, support systems and, cosmetic enhancements. Visit your own garage to build new advanced mechanisms and sell them via the in-game auction system. 

Players also have multiple options when it comes to mass destruction - combat vehicles can be equipped with an explosive range of weapons from chainsaws, power drills and machine guns, to rocket launchers, flying drones and stealth generators. Featuring an advanced damage model, destroy any part of an enemy machine and it will affect that vehicle's performance.


Targem Games and Gaijin Entertainment released a massive, PvE-focussed update for the post-apocalyptic crafting and combat MMO Crossout. Instead of the previously known single-stage missions, Raid players can now partake in a multitude of complex and rewarding scenarios, which each feature their own storyline, enemies and tasks. Also, Targem Games has revealed the special event for April Fool’s day, in which players will clash in battle on real pieces of post-apocalyptic art.

While previously, PvE Raids focussed on single-stage missions and e.g. tasked a player with escorting a cargo truck to a specific checkpoint, the new Raid system offers a much more challenging and fun experience. Staying within the same example, said cargo truck now, in a first mission, has to be stolen from somewhere - and its owners will not give it up lightly. Afterwards, having successfully acquired the cargo truck - hopefully with only few losses - you may find that it severely lacks in fuel to return to your faction’s base. The enemy, stung by your first attack, will quickly scramble more vehicles to find and destroy you, so time is of the essence! Once your group has located the fuel and refueled the stolen truck, it’s time to get back to safety - guns blazing, of course! But word has it that another group of raiders is very interested in the cargo you were after, too - and the gang and their leader may be inclined to just take it from you, unless you can convince them not to. This example is only one of the possible Raid scenarios available in Crossout, which now features 8 highly individual Raids in total. Even more scenarios will be included in following content updates.

For April Fool’s day this year, Crossout players can look forward to an unusual, but exciting PvP experience. Many players primarily craft powerful and intimidating machines of destruction, while others like to construct more… outlandish designs. The game’s exhibition hall has seen real works of art - including an awe-inspiring dragon, a knight in shining armor, a vehicle manned by bloodthirsty ducklings and other, no less creative vehicles. But while most of them are beautiful to look at, they are more or less useless in combat - but not on April Fool’s day! The developers have selected the most interesting designs and given them a little upgrade, allowing them to boast powerful weapons.

From March 30th to April 2nd, players can clash in a special Brawl on said player creations, but you won’t know what vehicle you get until shortly before battle. And while you won’t be sure whether you’ll join as a fire-breathing dragon, a howitzer-armed school bus or something else, you surely won’t miss out on any action. All vehicles are powerful in their own way, and the special Brawl has no respawn limit - on every respawn, you’ll get another of those pieces of post-apocalyptic art to try. As one of the rewards for participation, players can look forward to special and unique stickers and decorations for their real Crossout vehicles, only obtainable during the April Fool’s special.

Key Features:

  • Unique vehicles, crafted by the players using a wide range of available parts: from nimble buggies to heavily tracked off-road vehicles or combat platforms on antigrav fields.
  • Complete freedom of creativity and thousands of possible combinations. Create vehicles of any shape using dozens of parts, wide variety of armour and weapons as well as support systems.
  • Advanced damage model: destroy any part of an enemy machine and it will affect the vehicle's performance immediately.
  • Huge arsenal of weapons. From chain saws, power-drills over machine guns to rocket launchers, flying drones and stealth generators.
  • Your own workshop: create new, advanced parts and auction them at the in-game marketplace.
  • Trading options between players: every piece that you have gethered in the battle can be sold to other players
  • Choose your own battle strategy! The only thing matters is the Survival and Victory!

Crossout is now available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
