History Videogame / Crossout

* ShockAndAwe: The Spark, Flash, and Assembler weapons fire bolts of lightning at short range, and long range for the assembler. The Annihilator drones also spark lightning against targets, which causes InterfaceScrew.

* EnergyWeapon: Dozens of these exist, and they generally fall into one of three categories; [[BeamSpam lasers]], [[PlasmaCannon plasma guns]], and [[PlasmaCannon energy]] [[PainfullySlowProjectile cannons]].

** Perhaps the king of this trope would go to the Ripper, a relic rarity weapon which launches [[DeadlyDisc ''giant'' '''sawblades''']] at the enemy.

* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Any car equipped with the Skinner HarpoonGun can do this to any enemy vehicle.

* GrapplingHookPistol: Not a pistol per se, but instead a large ''harpoon gun,'' but it functions the same. The Skinner harpoon lets any car equipped with it climb heights (to an extent).

* WeWinBecauseYouDidnt: One of the serious problems with Invasion Raid is that if you don't destroy a Leviathan before the Timer runs out, you LOSE. Technically speaking, the Defenders (Players) are supposed to win because the Attacker (Leviathan) FAILED to complete their objective in time.

* {{BFG}}: The weapon Yongwang (large grenade gun), Avalanche (mortar), as well as the heavy cannons Mammoth, Typhoon, and Tsunami all count. These tend to pale in comparison to the [[MoreDakka Reaper minigun]], the Syndicate's [[WaveMotionGun Kaiju]], [[DeathFromAbove Mandrake artillery]] or the [[MagneticWeapons Scorpion railgun]] however.

** The Lunatics motto of "The Few, The Proud, The Fierce" replicates the official recruiting slogan of the [[SemperFi United States Marine Corp]], replacing 'Marines' with 'Fierce.'

* PostApunkalypticArmor: The game has this aesthetic across the board, but the Lunatics faction fit the bill best.

** One can easily attach the Firestarters' crossbows to a vehicle with hovers from the Dawn's Children.

** The decorative item and custom car horn "Why so Serious?" is a reference to ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' and ''Characters/BatmanTheJoker'' as protrayed in that movie.

* EnergyWeapon: Dozens of these exist, and they generally fall into one of three categories; [[BeamSpam lasers]], [[PlasmaCannon plasma guns]], and [[PlasmaCannon energy]] [[IncrediblySlowProjectile cannons]].

** One feature that has remained unchanged for many years as a play incentive is the daily 200 free fuel given (in-game resource which allows access to [[DungeonCrawling raids]]. After this is exhausted, more fuel must be bought from [[PlayerGeneratedEconomy the market]], or acquired from PvP games.

** Steppenwolfs: Dark olive

** The Syndicate: A secretive {{Yakuza}} style, high technology gang of survivalists that uses drones, energy weapons, and street racer vehicles & trucks. A combination of subversive, melee, and balanced.
** Hyperborea: A recent seasonal faction which lacks in content and variety, but appears to be MightyGlacier with their weapons, vehicles, and build styles. Also incidentally, they appear to hail from the artic North, being cold and snow themed and appear similar to Nomads except with Eskimo/Nordic influence.

** The story mode character of Lloyd (portrait from vehicle purchase pack) is an obvious homage to Dr. Emmett Brown (portrayed by Christopher ''Lloyd'') of the ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' series, with his written bio referencing time machines, also being a scientist/engineer, and he even looks exactly like him, frizzled white hair and everything!

** [[PragmaticVillainy The Scavengers]]: "Find it, break it, take it."
