Crossout's 'Next Step' Update Unleashes Mecha-Style Walkers and Dynamic Battles

Gaming Staff • September 20, 2024

Gaijin Entertainment has announced the release of the "Next Step" major content update for the post-apocalyptic online action game Crossout. This update introduces a completely new type of armored combat vehicle - mecha-style battle walkers, which players can use to build their own unique combat vehicles. The update also includes a new "The Way to the Top" map and the new "For the Emperor" brawl.

Mecha legs are a new type of chassis for armored vehicles, which can be used in conjunction with other parts and weapons. Several leg options are available, each with its own characteristics, design, and special capabilities. For example, the "Tengu" model allows players to dash towards the enemy, while the "RN-M Dino" allows them to lift off from the ground for a short time. Armored vehicles with new mecha legs can participate 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 to ensure the most dynamic battles. To win in "Arcade," players 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. Players can read more about them in the development diaries on the official website of the game.

Gaijin Entertainment is the developer and publisher of the online games War Thunder, Crossout, Enlisted, CRSED: F.O.A.D. and Star Conflict, as well as other PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android titles across several genres.
