Crossout Enters Open Beta With New Faction And New Map

After just over a year in Closed Beta, Crossout has entered Open Beta. Open Beta began today with the release of a patch that introduces a new faction and a new map.

The new faction is called the "Steppenwolfs." It is a part of the Brotherhood organization, as is the Scavengers faction, and is described as an "elite squad, performing dangerous missions in difficult conditions." Its new, faction-exclusive parts include the "Humpback" cabin, the "Mandrake" Howitzer, the "Caucasus" machine gun, and the sidekick drone, among others.

The new map is called "Emergency Zone." The map, which was "designed for PvP battles," is an aircraft crash site that is "covered with sand and stones."

You can find the full set of patch notes here.

You can Crossout now via the official website and the Microsoft Store. The Steam and PlayStation 4 versions will go live later today.

Additionally, according to the Open Beta launch announcement, Gaijin has "prepared special gifts for each and every one of you that will allow you to stand out on the battlefield." These gifts can be found in your warehouse upon logging in.
