The action game Crossout (PS4, PC, and Xbox One) is getting a new faction that supplies you with weapons and parts. The crazy scientists from the “Dawn Children” offer you lasers, floating hovercrafts, and Tesla cannons with which you dominate the battlefield.
In Crossout, you race through the devastated wasteland in post-apocalyptic junk cars, destroying each other in battles reminiscent of World of Tanks. The “destroying” part is to be taken literally, as you can blow apart any vehicle piece by piece thanks to the complex damage model.
After the scrap frenzy, you head to your trusted scrap dealer and buy even more crazy weapons and upgrades. With the upcoming update “Dawn Children”, there will be a faction of insane scientists that sell you high-tech stuff, in addition to the usual scrap dealers.
Dawn Children – Get Tesla Coils, Melee Lasers & Hovercrafts
The crazy and extremely rude scientists from the “Dawn Children” have not lost their research drive despite the apocalypse and have cheerfully developed more technologies with which the few survivors can eliminate each other even more effectively. What else should researchers do with their time after a global catastrophe?
Therefore, you now have the Dawn Children as a new faction that will sell you the following technologies:
- Anti-grav engines, with which you float above the ground and zoom around at lightning speed. However, keep in mind that as a hoverer, you are particularly susceptible to recoil and damaged engines can quickly throw you off course.
- Coil melee lasers, which barely overheat and are ideal for close combat!
- The plasma weapon “Quasar”, which fires extremely hot plasma. The stuff explodes on impact and incinerates several enemies at once.
- If you prefer to roast opponents one by one, get the Tesla Coil “Spark” and shoot chain lightning with it.
- As an alternative to anti-grav engines, the crazy researchers offer you all-metal tires that have particularly good grip in the wasteland.
New Locations and a PvE Raid in the Update
In addition to the Dawn Children faction, the new update for Crossout offers the following goodies:
- PvE Raid “Chase”: Here you are to capture a cargo that is escorted by two powerful combat vehicles. You can only take down the heavy ones as a team. Also, watch out for the many smaller raiders that can also be dangerous in large numbers.
- New location “Cursed Mines”: A labyrinth of old mine shafts where there are many opportunities for ambushes.
- New location “Broken Arrow”: Here you fight for a spaceport located in a valley. Ideal for snipers!
Crossout enjoys continuing popularity on Steam. On average, nearly 5,000 players are currently enjoying the vehicle mayhem. The community is also looking forward to the Dawn Children update. It’s the perfect time to start playing the game yourself.
