Online vehicular construction and combat game Crossout has been a quiet success over the past few months, building upon a foundation set by developers Targem Games way back in 2005 with the Hard Truck: Apocalypse series.

Part of this success is regular expansion-scale updates, the next of which will revolve around a pyromaniac cult called the Firstarters. While not fully implemented in the game yet as a joinable Faction, some of their more iconic tech and gadgets can be earned early through an event currently live on the main servers.

The anarchic Crossout made our Best Free MMO list. Don't limit yourself to juse one genre, though - try out a few more of our choice picks.

I can't help but feel that, more than any existing faction, the Firestarters are a bit of a nod towards Avalanche's semi-recent Mad Max game, and their sect of fire-worshipers, headed up by the brilliantly named Deep Friah.

I say this because the single most iconic piace of gear that the Firestarters have to offer isn't some incendiary weapon, but one of Max's favored tools from the game; a harpoon gun, capable of wrenching chunks off cars, or just dragging a vehicle off course.
