We would like to thank all our players and those who continue to follow the game for their praise, their criticism, for their detailed feedback and suggestions. Thank you all for staying with us and actively participating in the life of the game!
In the new year, we plan to revisit many of the issues that have concerned the community, and will devote plenty of time to implement the long-awaited changes and redesigns to the in-game modes and mechanics.
In the meantime, have a great holiday! Hooray!

Results of Contests "Santa’s Car" and "New Year's greeting"
The New Year is very close! And we want to congratulate the winner of the contest "Santa’s Car" CIaw! He will receive “Tire Track” banner logo & “Pattern: Danger!” paint.
Unfortunately, we could not determine the other winners.
— “Sometimes even the most familiar things tend to come to an end”, — Ivy XO, the leader of the Engineers.
Another calendar year has come to its conclusion. This seems like a good time to let all the Wasteland residents know that the Crossout calendar series has ended.
Starting from January 2022, we are launching a new series of special wallpapers. We hope that this new series will appeal to all players. The first artwork is “Winter outpost”.
You can download the image in high quality in the “Wallpapers” section. We wish you a Happy New Year!

[Contest] ‘Rebuild in Crossout!’ (29 of December - 4 of January)
Survivors!
Once Scar AB found an old magazine with images of cars that existed before the events of Crossout, and now he wants to assemble a collection of such cars. Many cars in this world are gone, and so survivors are invited to assemble a car similar to the one depicted in the photo.
The 3 best entries will be selected in two groups, and their authors will receive a reward of 300 coins and an epic "Amusement container" (first group) and 100 coins and an epic "Amusement container" (second group)!
You have already written a letter to Santa. Now let’s write your Crossout New Year's greeting in 140 characters. In Crossout style, of course. And don't forget to indicate your in-game nickname!
Authors of the best 10 entries will receive a “Thug” pack. Entry admission ends on 30.12, 17:00 GMT. Results will be published on 31.12

The year 2051 is coming to an end, which means that it’s about time we have a bit of a rest, refuel our vehicles… and look back at all the adventures we had this year! Also, don’t forget to reload the rocket launchers. It’s important!

Description and properties: Contrary to popular belief in the Valley, the Ravagers are not a literal “virus” that affects armoured cars and other vehicles. Examination of the remains of their vehicles leads to the conclusion that at least one control module, known as “The Eye”, is present on all the samples they captured. Once placed on the vehicle, it independently (probably using the built-in manipulators) connects to available power sources, and then relocates itself to the most protected location. It wasn’t possible to observe the capture process, so it is still unknown how long it takes. After the capture, the AI also gains control over the weapons of the armoured vehicle, making it an efficient and dangerous combat unit.
The “irregular” shape of many Ravager vehicles is explained by their ability to make quick field repairs. With the exception of the “Eye” modules, the source of which is still unknown (see attachment O-1), they do not manufacture weapons and parts themselves, so a simple replacement of damaged parts is unavailable to them. This forces them to use the remains of broken-down cars, which leads to the appearance of hybrids from a wide variety of technologies. In particular cases, several seriously damaged vehicles can even merge into a single structure, which, however, does not guarantee efficiency in combat.
The Ravagers AI is not limited to capturing armoured vehicles. There are known cases of them using stationary weapons, as well as various pre-Crossout infrastructure. The most well-known example is a place known as the Ravagers foothold. According to the current theory, a central node of some search engine that consumed massive amounts of energy used to be located there. The mines on this site were used only for its cooling. The purpose of this system is now difficult to determine, and a detailed study cannot be carried out under the current conditions.
Based on the information received from the Engineers and the results of the MNEMO model remains' research (see attachment O-2), we can conclude that the Ravagers do not extract people’s “consciousness”, but only make a copy of their memories and what we can call “personality”. The process is extremely painful and causes serious brain damage, especially the hippocampus and temporal lobe. As a result, victims often develop various forms of amnesia, which makes people seem “Ravaged”. It’s worth noting that there are known cases of memory recovery even after a long period of time (see the report on “Cache”). There are reasons to believe that Lloyd, the former scientist of the “Dawn’s Children”, may have the technology to accelerate the treatment of the victims.
Conclusion: The threat of the Ravagers to the Valley cannot be underestimated. The ability to capture equipment allows them to quickly build up their combat power. However, there are no sufficient grounds to believe that their goal is to engage in war with survivors. Most likely, we are dealing with a system failure in the pre-Crossout AI. The examples of Caligari and Lloyd support this theory, as it seems obvious that they managed (for the most part) to stabilize it and put it to their own service (see attachment O-2).
I recommend sending more seekers to study the origins of the AI and possible ways to acquire control over it. The priority will be to find the location of the “Eye” modules, as well as the location of Lloyd, who appears to control most of the active Ravagers. To speed up the process, we can ask the Engineers for help. They have scouts with extensive experience of interaction with the object of our study.
Attachment O-1: The data collected in the laboratories below the Ravagers foothold suggests that the probable manufacturer of the AI is the “Waderkvarn” corporation. This means that the production of the “Eye” modules could be taking place in one of their facilities. It is certain that many of the corporation’s surviving employees now work for the “Dawn’s Children”, which explains Lloyd's knowledge about the Ravagers.
Attachment O-2: The information we have received from Valley mercenaries and our contact among the Engineers suggests that Lloyd is changing the combat tactics of the Ravagers. This is primarily indicated by the emergence of specialized models which use hovers and energy weapons. Survivors’ first encounters with them took place during the operations of the Syndicate and Founders factions. The so-called “MNEMO” model is particularly interesting. It includes the modules that were previously used to extract and store the “consciousness”. These modules have undergone major modifications or have been replaced altogether and as a result, their combat efficiency has increased by many times.
It is not yet possible to make precise conclusions about the nature of Lloyd’s interference in the Ravager device. According to the current theory, the AI was previously able to send requests to databases with the memories of the people it captured and even make decisions based on them. It eventually led to errors and made the machines unpredictable. This system vulnerability has been eliminated in models starting with “MNEMO”.
Note: Prolonged contacts with groups of survivors and the formation of a long-term bond with individual survivors are discouraged. Seeker Ochre will be issued a disciplinary punishment. An internal investigation will be conducted regarding a possible information leak.
