Targem Games and Gaijin Entertainment have released the Witch Hunt update for their MMO vehicle combat game, Crossout. Both Witch Hunt event and Day of the Dead pack will be available until November 6th.
The update will let players celebrate Halloween by collecting Tricky treats and exchanging them for unique Mexican-style decorations for their armoured vehicles. These decorations include tacos, guitars and the feathered dragon Quetzalcoatl.
The Witch Hunt brawl event features the same pre-assembled weaponless vehicles with boosters. The goal is to catch and keep festive balloons as long as possible while opponents try to get them back by ramming them.
The map is also full of festive skulls that randomly buff or debuff the vehicle: for example they might grant temporary invulnerability or add weapons to the vehicle, or they might slow the vehicle down or attach a ticking bomb to it. Thankfully Witch Hunt mode includes unlimited respawns so players can die as many times as needed. The best players will get the Witch’s Sticker Container with rare cosmetic items and the Tricky treats.
The new Day of the Dead pack includes the unique armoured vehicle “Stalker” which, according to legends, belongs to the mysterious Catrina – the ghost that lives in the Wasteland and organizes the Halloween festivities.
