Greetings, survivors!
We think you remember the changes we announced earlier, which will affect clans and weekly challenges. If for some reason you missed those articles, you can read them here:
part one,
part two.
We have already received a considerable amount of feedback and suggestions from you, and now we would like to invite you to try out the changes on the test server. You know what they say - a picture is worth a thousand words!
We remind you that all the new features are not final and may be changed before they are introduced into the game or may not make it into the game at all.[hr][/hr]
[h2]General info[/h2]
All the changes described in the articles above have been uploaded to the test server. Let us remind you of the main ones:
- Bands and clans
- The "Confrontation" mode, previously called "Skirmish".
- Seasons and rating system for "Confrontation"
- Progressing through leagues and clan challenges
- Activity points system within a clan
- Changes to roles within a clan
It is worth noting an important nuance: in the blogs above, we mentioned that the "Confrontation" mode will be played up to two victories - just like the current CW's "best of 3" scheme. Along with it, we also want to test a simpler one: one round and a game until one victory - the same way it works in regular missions. Thus, within the test server, rules will be rotated daily: "best of 3", "best of 1", "best of 3" again, and so on. Try both and decide which one you like best!
The remaining details of the improvements have not changed compared to their description in the blogs. We urge you to test them, and express your opinion based on that. Your feedback on this matter is important to us!

[h2]How to get to the test server?[/h2]
If you have already participated in testing on a special server, then it will be enough to start the Launcher from the folder with the test client and wait for the update to complete.
- Create a new folder for the game on your hard drive.
- Download the Launcher from this link. The file name should not contain numbers indicating that the file is a duplicate. Please note that you should launch the file that does not contain any digits (1), (2), etc. in its name. If, when starting the installed launcher, you get to the live game servers, you need to delete all downloaded launchers from the download folder and try again.
- Start the Launcher and install the game to the folder you created (for example: D:\Public test\Crossout).
- After the installation is complete, start the Launcher and enter the game with your username and password.
- The whole progress of your main account will be transferred to the main server (including parts in storage and levels of reputation in factions).
- After logging into the server, to transfer progress from your account, press the “Esc” key and select “Copy account data”.
- Please note the schedule of the test server:
- July 24, 2023 from 13:00 to 19:00 UTC, best of 3
- July 25, 2023 from 13:00 to 19:00 UTC, best of 1
- July 26, 2023 from 13:00 to 19:00 UTC, best of 3
- July 27, 2023 from 13:00 to 19:00 UTC, best of 1
- July 28, 2023 from 13:00 to 19:00 UTC, best of 3
- July 29, 2023 from 13:00 to 19:00 UTC, best of 1
- July 30, 2023 from 13:00 to 19:00 UTC, best of 3
- Any progress you make on the test server will not be transferred to the live game servers (INCLUDING ATTEMPTS TO BUY PACKS).
After testing the changes, we invite you to leave your constructive feedback on the planned rework in the comments to this news.
The public test server is intended only for testing of the upcoming update, and may not accommodate all players without exception. However, absolutely anyone can join the server, as long as there are free spots.
