    Crossout Warriors Will Be Playing With Fire

    Praise the eternal flame, Survivors!

    The wasteland is about to get a lot more crowded—and a lot hotter. Gaijin Entertainment has officially dropped the “Playing with Fire” update for Crossout, and if you’ve ever felt that your armoured vehicle was missing a certain “incendiary” charm, this is the season you’ve been waiting for.

    Dedicated to the chaotic Firestarters faction, this update isn’t just about adding a few new parts; it’s about redefining how you wreak havoc on the battlefield.

    New Toys for the Firestarters

    The Firestarters have never been known for their subtlety, and their new arsenal proves it. Here are the highlights of the new hardware you can now bolt onto your rides:

    • The “Thrust” Melee Weapon: This legendary saw deals periodic damage upon contact. But here’s the kicker: it can also fire a heavy projectile that deals ram damage from a distance. It’s the ultimate “get over here” (and then stay there) tool.
    • The “Butcher” Disc Launcher: A legendary weapon that fires discs which latch onto enemy parts, sawing through them before delivering a final explosive goodbye.
    • The “Inquisitor” Rocket Launcher: For those who prefer the classics, this multi-barreled beast provides heavy-duty suppression and fire-based destruction.
    • The “Hyena” Tracked Platform: New movement parts featuring retractable “claw” blades that scale in lethality based on your speed.

    Fresh Brawls & Game Modes

    The update also introduces a rotation of limited-time events to keep the adrenaline pumping:

    • Precious Driver: A team-based hunt where one player is randomly selected as the “high-value target.” Protect your VIP and hunt the enemy to secure victory.
    • Ice and Fire: A PvP clash using pre-assembled vehicles. You’ll have to choose between scorching heat or cryogenic cold to dominate the map.
    • At Gunpoint (Reworked): For the immersion seekers, this brawl now forces a first-person perspective directly from the cockpit. No more hovering cameras—it’s just you, your dashboard, and the incoming fire.

    Balance Changes & Mechanics

    Beyond the flashy new parts, the “Playing with Fire” update brings some heavy-hitting balance tweaks. Specifically, the blast damage mechanics have been overhauled. Fragments have been reduced by 25%, and damage now drops off more sharply as you move away from the explosion’s centre. This means precision aiming is more rewarded than ever.

    Is the Battle Pass Worth It?

    While all players can unlock recipes for new structural parts and the “Springduck” (priorities, people!), the Battle Pass holders get access to upgraded versions of the new legendary weapons and exclusive cosmetics like the “Bearings” currency and unique portraits.

    The “Playing with Fire” season is live now on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Whether you’re looking to master the new saw-launching meta or just want to watch the world burn, it’s time to head back to the garage.

  • Boots on the Ground! War Thunder’s “Line of Contact” Update Changes Everything

    Boots on the Ground! War Thunder’s “Line of Contact” Update Changes Everything

    The roar of engines, the screech of metal, and the thunder of artillery—War Thunder has always been about the epic clash of vehicles. But get ready for a battlefield revolution! The “Line of Contact” major update is here, and it’s introducing the one thing many thought would never happen: playable infantry!

    This isn’t just another update with new tanks and planes; it’s a fundamental shift that opens up an entirely new dimension of combined-arms warfare. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about this game-changing addition and the other exciting content arriving with it.

    Infantry: The New Face of War Thunder

    The most significant feature of “Line of Contact” is the introduction of player-controlled infantry squads. This isn’t integrated into the main game modes yet; it’s being launched as a separate, dedicated game mode for closed beta testing (CBT), ensuring it doesn’t disrupt the core vehicle experience.

    • A Modern Battlefield: This new mode focuses on modern warfare, featuring soldiers with advanced, customizable weaponry, gear, and vehicle support. Think high-tech assaults, tactical building clear-outs, and intense street battles.
    • Squad-Based Combat: You won’t control just one soldier. Similar to other titles by Gaijin, you will control a squad leader in first-person, with AI troops backing you up. This allows for more dynamic and strategic engagements.
    • New Roles, New Threats: Infantry brings new tactical depth. Expect to see:
      • Anti-Tank Specialists (ready to ambush your favorite tank)
      • Anti-Air Specialists equipped with MANPADS (making the skies a lot more dangerous for low-flying aircraft!)
      • Engineers and Special Weapons like reconnaissance drones and FPV cameras.
    • The New Map: Granitograd: Battles in the infantry mode will take place on specially designed, highly detailed urban locations, such as the brand-new Eastern European map, Granitograd. These maps feature multi-story buildings and ample cover, perfect for infantry tactics.

    Note: The initial closed beta test focuses on modern US and USSR/Russian forces and will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles.

    New Vehicles & Arsenal Additions

    No major War Thunder update is complete without a massive influx of new vehicles across all branches! “Line of Contact” delivers, adding dozens of new machines to the battle.

    • High-Tier Ground: Expect powerful additions like the British Ajax light tank and the US M10 Booker, designed to support ground forces.
    • Air Power: The skies are getting even more competitive with the introduction of fan-favorites like the legendary Soviet interceptor, the MiG-25 PD, as well as the J-10C and F/A-18 Super Hornet. Aircraft like the EF-2000 and F-2000A are also getting ordnance updates, allowing them to carry even more air-to-air missiles.
    • Naval Forces: Big ships are also sailing in, with the US battleship USS South Dakota and the British battleship HMS Prince of Wales joining the fray.

    Quality of Life & Map Overhauls

    Beyond the flashy new content, the update brings essential improvements to existing gameplay:

    • Hangar Overhaul: The hangar is getting a massive graphical makeover with more detailed interiors, improved lighting, and new dynamic effects. You can now visually inspect your armament and the damage it can cause!
    • Shell Fragmentation Rework: The fragmentation fields for HEAT, HE, and AP shells have been recalculated, resulting in a significant increase in the number and density of fragments. This could fundamentally change how post-penetration damage works for these shell types.
    • Poland (Winter) Graphics Update: The classic Poland map is receiving a complete graphical facelift for its winter variant, making the environment much more detailed and atmospheric.

    The Verdict: A New Era for War Thunder?

    The “Line of Contact” update marks the biggest, most ambitious change to War Thunder in years. The introduction of infantry, even in a separate mode, has the potential to revitalize the game and complete the long-awaited trinity of infantry, armor, and air superiority.

    Whether you’re excited to snipe from a rooftop or command your tank to blow up that very building, this update promises a vastly expanded and thrilling experience. Jump onto the Dev Server (if it’s open) or sign up for the Infantry CBT to get an early look at this historic moment in War Thunder history!

  • Crossing the Line: The “Forced Measure” Update Hits Crossout!

    Crossing the Line: The “Forced Measure” Update Hits Crossout!

    The Wasteland is never a dull place, and the latest major update for Crossout, “Forced Measure,” proves that necessity is the mother of all terrifying inventions. Faced with the relentless Ravagers, two seemingly incompatible factions—the methodical Engineers and the unpredictable Lunatics—have been forced into an uneasy alliance. The result? A new season full of groundbreaking tech and chaotic fun!

    This isn’t just a simple patch; it’s a massive injection of new content, including a game mode, an overhaul of parts, and an exciting seasonal Battle Pass. Let’s rev up and see what the “Forced Measure” update has brought to the table.

    Introducing New Tech: Air-Cushions and Dual-Mode Weapons

    The Engineers and Lunatics bringing their minds together has birthed some truly unique additions to your garage. The most talked-about new movement part is the Air-Cushion Vehicle chassis.

    • Air-Cushion Movement: These parts finally give players a true “hover” experience, offering speed, rapid turning, and full reverse capability. They’re fast and maneuverable, but you’ll need skill to master their unique handling and less-than-stellar durability against contact damage.

    But that’s not all—the update introduces a range of compelling new weaponry:

    • New Weapons: Keep an eye out for a new 2-mode machine gun, a powerful new shotgun, and a deadly crossbow (some with unique perks like accumulating bonuses for blast radius or damage based on specific combat conditions). This new arsenal is shaking up the meta, encouraging players to try inventive new builds.

    Test Your Mettle: New Brawls!

    The “Forced Measure” update brings with it new temporary Brawls to test out the new gear and mechanics:

    1. “Test Prototypes” (Limited Time)

    This is your chance to get a feel for the new parts without having to craft them first.

    • The Format: A classic team battle where the goal is to score more points than the enemy.
    • The Twist: Battles are fought using preset armored cars featuring the new parts from the season. It’s a level playing field and the perfect testing ground for new cabin and weapon combos.
    • The Reward: Scrap metal for your efforts.

    2. “Dangerous Cargo” (Limited Time)

    A frantic team brawl that demands coordination and aggression.

    • The Format: Two teams race to escort a cargo cart to its destination.
    • The Goal: The cart only moves when your team has more vehicles near it than the enemy team. Speed depends on the number of nearby allies, forcing you to commit to the push.
    • The Reward: Plastic, a valuable resource for high-tier crafting.

    The Forced Measure Battle Pass

    As with every major Crossout update, the “Forced Measure” update features a new Battle Pass stacked with rewards.

    • Main & Bonus Levels: The season has 75 “main” levels, unlocking recipes for new parts, structural elements, coins, and cosmetic items. Beyond that, “additional” levels starting at 76 offer bonus rewards.
    • New Resource: “Lighters”: Players earn a special resource called “Lighters” throughout the season. You can exchange a certain amount of Lighters for a part from the available list or other items, giving you more control over your loot.
    • Premium Pass Perks: Purchasing the Battle Pass unlocks even more rewards, including the new crafted and upgraded parts (with specific, non-marketable upgrades), unique portraits, additional in-game coins, and exclusive cosmetic items.

    Final Verdict

    The “Forced Measure” update successfully breathes new life into the Crossout Wasteland. The introduction of the Air-Cushion chassis and dual-mode weapons is already inspiring wildly inventive builds. Whether you’re a veteran player looking to shake up the Power Score tiers or a newcomer eager to test out unique gear in the Brawls, there is a lot to enjoy.

    Get in there, Survivor. The alliance between the Engineers and Lunatics might be temporary, but the damage they inflict is forever!
