Crossout’s steel gladiators are entering the Arena
Targem Games and Gaijin Entertainment announce the release of the Steel Gladiators content update for the post apocalyptic online action Crossout. The game got a new time-limited competitive mode “Arena”, and the new battle pass season has started bringing new weapons and vehicle parts to Crossout.
“Arena” offers fast and furious 3v3 battles on special compact arenas. A team needs three wins to achieve victory in the arena, and at the start of each new round the players can change the armored vehicle to adapt to enemy tactics. There are two versions of the Arena: Standard and Rating. In the latter case players go up in the leaderboards with each win and can be promoted to a higher league. For reaching the “Golden”, “Silver” and “Bronze” leagues, players will receive appropriate backgrounds and emblems for profile customization, as well as other memorable rewards. The Arena mode will be available until March 20th.
The new battle pass season called Steel Gladiators allows the players to unlock 54 rewards. There are new cool vehicle parts there, i.e. the Adron cabin that was originally intended for space shuttles but in the post apocalyptic world proved to be quite useful for armored vehicles. The most interesting new weapon system is probably the “SD-15 Vulture” sabotage drone. After being launched into the specified area, the drone hovers in the air and activates its own invisibility module. When an enemy appears nearby, “Vulture” clings to its important parts trying to destroy them and then explodes afterwards.
Finally, Crossout has gained a new relic weapon, which is a brutal disk launcher “Ripper”. It shoots circular saw blades that get temporarily stuck in environmental objects and deal increased collision damage. That’s a good way to set up traps! Like all other relic weapons, the “Ripper” can only be crafted at the Engineer workbench “Secret Workshop”.
