Fighters!

In the recent major update, we released an additional feature in the battle session control, we didn't disclose the details at the time, but was already gladly noted by the more attentive players.

We are talking about the automatic adaption of the size of the starting zone circle depending on the amount of players starting the battle. Its goal is to make game sessions more dynamic, ensuring good density of combat through all the session timespan. It is especially important for the ‘Siberia Island” map, which could look a bit deserted due to its large size and complex terrain if a full number of players did not enter the battle.

Now at the start of the battle, the server will correct the starting and spawning circle taking into account the number of players so that spawn density matches one with a full session.

Have great and dynamic fights and nice wins!

Long time familiar game mechanics will be transformed with this update! A new looting and inventory interface, changed Dark Zone mechanics, more user friendly ammo boxes instead of clips and magazines.

New weapons, outfits, tombstones with astonishing effects will make this season fun, and all those new things you can test in the “Game of Crowns” - where everyone is hunting the one.

Check all the dark gods gifts!

The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes. CRSED is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.

Friends, our team is making the final preparations for the major update. Unfortunately, we still need a few more days to finalise it, so the release is postponed until the 3rd of August. But today we will gladly tell you about an important new feature in the update that you have long suggested and asked for.


We have also fundamentally redesigned the reward system.

With the major update, there will be 3 daily tasks available to players with 1 random reward in the game. Every 24 hours, the ‘Tasks’ will be reset. They can only be performed while playing in standard solo and duo/team modes.

Tasks Examples:

• "Spend 10 minutes in solo, duo or squad mode";
  
• "Kill 10 enemies in solo, duo or squad mode";
  
• "Earn 1 victory in solo, duo or squad mode".
  

Daily rewards for these Tasks include:

• Souls
  
• Shots for the Flare Gun
  
• Eternal Grace
  
• Scrolls
  
• Hex bags
  

For a long time, we have stated that special events should have their own rewards. From now on, 1 quest will be available to a player every day, the reward is similar to the daily rewards in regular modes. The difference is that the task is completed within a limited time.

For completing 12 tasks the player is also guaranteed a cosmetic chest. Every 14 days there is a complete reset: mode changes, progress on completed tasks.

Tasks Examples:

• "Complete the 12 tasks to get a cosmetic box in a time-limited mode";
  
• "Get into the top 5 in a time-limited mode".
  

Of course, task options will be expanded and upgraded!
Stay tuned for more!

• The hearts of dead squad members won’t disappear if the last living teammate has used a defibrillator.
  
• Items on the borders of the play zone will no longer disappear at the start of a game session.
