Crossout: Horsemen of Apocalypse - Death

Core Gameplay Loop and Vehicle Construction

The primary activity involves designing, building, and piloting unique war machines. Players utilize a wide array of components—chassis parts, structural elements, movement systems (wheels, tracks, hover units), and weaponry—to create their combat platform. The system allows for extensive modularity, meaning the structural integrity and performance of the vehicle are directly tied to the player's engineering choices.

Once constructed, these vehicles are deployed in various player-versus-player (PvP) scenarios. Success relies not only on driving skill but also on the tactical loadout and defensive positioning of the crafted machine.

What makes the combat unique?

A distinctive feature of the combat system is its advanced damage modeling. Unlike games where vehicles possess a single health bar, damage is localized. Players can target and destroy specific components on an enemy vehicle, such as weapons, wheels, or movement systems. Successfully disabling critical parts can severely limit an opponent's offensive capability or mobility, adding a significant layer of tactical depth to every engagement.

Progression and Scavenging

Progression in the game is tied to acquiring new blueprints, rare parts, and resources through participation in battles and completing objectives. These resources are then fed back into the vehicle workshop, allowing players to continually upgrade their arsenal and armor profile to face increasingly challenging opponents.

Setting and Atmosphere

The setting is a desolate, resource-scarce wasteland following a global catastrophe. While the focus is heavily on the vehicular combat, the environment serves as the backdrop for the constant struggle for survival and dominance among various factions.
