Crasher FAQ | Crashwave

What is Crashwave?: A 4v4 team car-combat game set on Verona IV. Two crews, VOLT and RUST, fight over bombs built from salvaged Xen tech: drive one through the defenses and into the goal in Delivery, escort an armored bomb truck to the reactor in Convoy, race your crew’s own bomb down a gated lane to the Uplink in Bomb Rally, or storm a walled Xen bastion in Breach.
Who are the Crashers?: Drivers who came to Verona IV to get bombs past the Xenian defenses. Some washed out of the GDF, some ran corpo security, some were street wheel boosters. Background doesn’t matter. The arena decides who makes it.
How many drivers per match?: Eight, four on each side. You can also run matches against bots. New to a trial? Every mode has a short drill in Basic Training. Finish them all to earn TRAINING CERTIFIED.
What are the trials?: Delivery: one bomb, two goals. First crew to seven wins, or the leader when the 12-minute clock runs out. A tie goes to overtime, and the next goal wins.
Convoy: attack and defend. The attackers push a bomb truck through three checkpoints to the reactor. It only moves while they outnumber the defenders in its ring. Then the sides swap.
Bomb Rally: each crew races its own bomb down its own lane to the Uplink, lobbing it to a crewmate over each gate. Rivals can’t steal it, but they can cut across and wreck the driver hauling it. First one in wins.
Breach: attack and defend. Swing your bomb through the sockets of Xen defense nodes A and B (two hits each), then crack the Bastion Core (three hits). Defenders wreck carriers, defuse dropped bombs and repair damaged nodes. Crews swap sides, and whoever breaks more nodes, or the same number faster, wins.
What can I drive?: Four rigs: the Courier (bomb runner), the Striker (damage), the Bulwark (tank) and the Tumbler (support). Each has a weapon, two abilities and an ultimate.
Is it online?: Yes. Online matches run on dedicated servers. Between trials, the crews vote on what’s next.
When does it come out, and on what?: Release date, platforms and price haven’t been announced. Put your name down and you’ll hear first.
