Crossout (Beta)

[Ahhzz]

technically crafting is a loss, under epic quality ... for starter player it's a bit painful, thus buying an item on market after reselling raw material is often more economic than renting a workshop for crafting it yourself ... (just like a DiY crate is useless since most of the time you get more creds for selling it closed than trying to get stuff with it .... i opened a few and one had even more blues and epics than commons in the list but still got the cheapest common instead )
they need to revise the workshop renting system .... and probably up a bit the limits on the ticket in raid ... that and revise the difficulty of the said raids in Medium and Hard ...

tho i am not one to whine about drone .... strangely ... they don't bother me and i regularly get the "Exterminator 1/2/Split/Strike/Everybody down" sticker (got a "resistance is futile" but only once ... it's counterproductive ) if people have no aiming skill or just like to drive ... let them have turret/drones/Caucasus to compensate

practical example: why would i pay 750 credit for 5 work, meaning 150 creds per work done, to craft one paint container which cost 450 scrap 50 wires 50 copper that would probably not contain the paint i want, when the paint i want is less than 50 creds on market

my new build is pretty much an alrounder ... not too frail, thought lacking a bit in firepower but still steady and getting good result regularly

btw

you monster ... it's not even fun to watch ... when it's sooooo one sided

edit: updated initial post with the official wiki ... there is some interesting info on it... well for me it was, at last.

I've bounced all over trying to figure out what works well for me.... yesterday I crafted a drone, went out to try it last night, had "meh" results, but that's probably because my front end was too unarmored. Mind uploading your build and sharing the name? would like to see what I'm doing wrong, in the range of parts I might have heheh

i don't do drone build .... but just open Exhibition and type Drone in search you might find some idea.

you have no idea how much i love player with 3-4 drones pod exposed ... 1st step destroy their drones in flight/on ground 2nd step obliterate their pod when on reload

otherwise my actual build had the cabin centred (very easy with the Wyvern and being Nomads affiliated )

yep well rounded


1st time i get 5 kills 0 assists ahah


new version a little more hidden cabin


to bad i have 45/45 like that ... the other side is not covered by a panel


a little bit more tweaking is needed

Drone is far from OP but they love to complain about it. Its actually a pretty weak build. Drones can be one shot easily with a shotgun. Most OP thing I have found is the 4x blue shotguns. You need a gas gen and two purple cooler and a cabin with 11 energy, like jawbreaker or carapace. You can usually out DPS other players and degun them. I have managed to degun 4 at a time, which leaves them entirely useless.

I haven't played much this week due to some tendonitis in my hands. One really OP build I used to see in the CBT was running chameleon on a lunatic buggy with 8 wheels and either 3x blue auger or a gold harvester on the front. You wait until the enemy team is engaged and distracted and you flank them while cloaked. If you are good you can take out their artillery first without their frontline noticing, then you get the rest after your team is occupying their attention.

Also I would strongly advise you guys to stay away from radiators unless you are running the miniguns because the radiator will not improve your DPS on shotguns nor on machine guns as it increases the time it takes to cool down. Instead run the coolers. Coolers stack.


@GreiverBlade try mounting the guns if possible to the cabin. If you mount them on the exterior armor they will just get removed really easily. Of course, white guns get removed easily no matter what.

@Ahhzz a lot of successful drone builds I have seen look a bit like a moving truck, you need to run a lot of drone pods in the back and cover it in armor.

im on a 5xMG build no rad (since Wyvern is a 10 energy) i am used to fire short burst instead of going all the way till overheat (with MG not with Minigun ofc) and no access for now on cooler ...

oh and i finish my mission usually with 4 if not 5 gun remaining ... the Wyvern is not cabin-mount friendly ...

 

[Vario]

Yeah thats a problem with the wyvern, its a good mid range cabin otherwise. Thats how they balance it, lack of mounting areas. You could go jawbreaker but you'd move a lot slower.

Also to those that don't know, the light engine requires no energy to run and it will make any build that is otherwise lacking an engine faster to accelerate, including really monster builds like carapace and treads. So you should always run a light engine on any build at a minimum, unless you want to run something faster.

i sold a Jawbreaker to get the Wyvern, specifically because of speed (tested engines... pretty fun oh well i give myself 1 week, to do better )

also ... damn... i'm sure that one would have no good result xD

mm that is a good build with the dual cannons, i used something very much like that myself for a long time

It's totally the kind of build i would spend more time in revision, upgrades and test drive than actual matches .... although for Raid it might be fun to test once

i think i will nickname it Lobster, or Mantis-Shrimp ...

Raid with those is hard because of limited ammo but can be done

 

[GreiverBlade]

not really ... if you stick to easy ...

usually i do 1 LittleBoy 6LB and 2 MG if i have a seasonal mission or challenge asking for canon, ok the 1m30s refill is annoying .... i ended self destructing once out of ammo ... since i do cargo race mostly : enough

i shortened my shrimp a bit (official nickname : "MantisShrimp" because a Lobster does not pack the same punch )
1214 structure point is not too shabby ...

 

[Vario]

Could never get used to the LB 6lb because the aim is so slow but I do like the 57, the judge and executioners. If the treads could just rotate/turn faster, I could make a hell of a tank destroyer.

not the same gameplay ... with the LB 6LB top turret and a scope in pvp it's mid/long range,i can fire in any angles and i rarely put a shot out of target thanks to the rotation (who is kinda fast enough at my taste since i am used to angle myself)

57/judge/exec build are for buff head that love to rush the side of a target and do a double PBS, LB 6LB/ZS-34 Fat Man/AC72 Whirlwind : player who love to ambush and take out the enemy from afar.

preferential gameplay override, indeed.

[GreiverBlade]

i officially love my actual build ....


trying something different ...

lowering my PS but no gun mounted on "ablative armoring" ... meh ... that should be enough to the 2hrs left for the challenge ...

ouch that was a win but .... now anything slower than the Wyvern seems sooo boring ... back to the Aero build

or maybe a Jawbreaker with a light engine and mostly double plating (except cabine and front single) .... dunno ... test test test ...



aye! i like it ... a light engine makes all the difference for the Jawbreaker

 

[Thimblewad]

You guys playing this like crazy! Unbelievable I wish I could join you all, but... I started my army training and I'm pretty far away from home.

EDIT: I wanted to upload a picture of me in the uniform, but TPU app on the phone is broken

 

[erocker]

These are my two favorites right now. I use the machine gun tank for things like protecting convoys in raids. It's great defensively and with the guns mounted somewhat higher, it's easier to strip weapons off of the enemy. With a scope equipped it's decent against bosses in tougher raids. Drones have no chance hehe.


The shotgun buggy is very fun! Not very tough, but fast-ish enough for getting around people, grabbing cargo and stuff like that.

 

[GreiverBlade]

Mk2 jawbreaker test ....


(still no RL money involved and not much creds done ... market and craft is still a pure mess tho i managed to get a AC43-Rapier a Light Engine and i re took a Jawbreaker, by farming a bit )

funny place to put an engine ... tho it protect my fuel tank (no place in the back i have a seasonal mission that ask "mount radar" )


@erocker what's your level , or rather, when did you start? (not after you saw the post about it in "what are you playing"... i hope, otherwise ... seeing that much blue and purple would be a big hit to my self esteem and my 4.4k PS 3xblue weakling )
tho judging by the look i'd say you took the "Midgard" and "Tramp" pack.... but i wouldn't advance on that

 

[Thimblewad]

Well, I'm home for the weekend, and as promised, it's-a-me! Now I gotta go play some CrossOut to gain on you! Haha

(from right to left, I'm the 2nd one)

And of course, I had to squat

ahahahahahhahaha i got a remembrance of my army time xD your uniforms are quite similar to Swiss one xD (and the Kevlar-ceramic helmet is the same that the one i did wear in embassy guard the regular one is a normal steel helmet )

oh well ...

"The Mean Machine" V1 MG raid version "midgarXjawbreaker" (decided on the "Snake Bite" and "Midgar" pack to support the game )


V2 Not "Highway To Hell" but "Eight Wheels To Hell" managed to craft some Spectre-2


yep eight wheels to hell ... 666 base rep (finished 2 Thunderbolt in between )


fun experiment .... PVE drones .... 2 normal 1 missile ...


technically a rep farmer ... +38% is yummy

 

[burebista]

My modest build.



After that I was curious what Fusion button do so I took all my 3 Vectors and press the button. Now I have one Vector recoiless.
Back to grind/craft another 2 Vectors...

Game is fun but I deeply dislike sealclubbers in low PS. IMO there should be some restrictions about blue/violet items. Something like this:
- under 2500 PS only white equipment/weapons.
- 2500-4500 PS you can use blue items
- more than 4500 PS and bring whatever you have.

I'm tired to be pwned with rockets/drones/invisibility/whatever epic parts in my 3 machinegun car.

actually i have nothing against sealclubbers ... they are fun to circle around and dismantle pieces by pieces .... tho high grade weapon structures can be a pain

invis well ... that one is annoying but fun when you get a "bring out of stealth" sticker

i got a Humpback cabin in a Pathfinder loot crate

still experimenting with drone for PVE


attempt to armor it a bit for pvp


tho i would probably not go in pvp with drones and Caucasus ... it feels weird and tasteless

edit .... i wonder how a hunter cabin get 1556 structure when i get no more than 1336 with the humpback

 

[erocker]

Some good lines on your PvP build! It shouldn't matter but I can't roll something too ugly into battle lol.

ahah .... well me neither ... specially not with automated weapon

tried some tracked canon build .... hidding the extended ammo pack? well like a fuel tank (advantage of the Carapace cabin: overly long chassis weld points enabling a 3 part chassis with place underside for other stuff)


thought too slow at my taste, wheeled thunderbolt, same tactics for the cooler and generator, tired of people bumping your butt? put a stop on that! (these build are mainly PVE rep farmer around 4-5k per raid in rested bonus ) and i finally managed to craft my Graffiti Dusk pattern (i tested a 2X Thunderbolt 1X Hammerfall .... for PVE it's godlike thought 2K legendary weapon are ... too much, plus i need 1pts more for the legendary than for the epic which make 14/14 with the cooler and only a small engine is possible instead of an improved) loosing 9% rep bonus due to the chassis and wheel


got tired of the Carapace .... too expensive too slow (albeit very practical, low profile is good), back to the Jawbreaker with an improved engine instead of small engine, loosing 15% bonus rep due to that one needs an extended chassis to work

adding some under plating to protect the generator (now the stop on the back looks like "STOP RUNNING!" )

now i need to wait on the faction change cool-down and get with the lunatics ... for shotgun bonuses

i love how the game does not reward cargo rusher kindly i only tracked and destroyed npc's and didn't collect 1 cargo at all (the last on the list did most of them tho ) only rush a cargo retrieval if the timer is at 1min~ if having 2:59 ... well, just have fun


fun time.... from this ... to my own version ( a little more stable ... small wheels aren't cut for high speed terrain cruising ... but that's only 1 among the other modification intended ... )


waiting till i get above 55 parts to upgrade it a bit but credit to the original blueprint maker : "who should be among the multitude of people who published and republished that blueprint untouched" .... they have no shame ...
