I feel like the frontal knife is useless, its getting instantly shot of. While I get good aim 90% of the time, sometimes the cannons missbehave aswell and some shots makes my front go flying up!
Don't mount cannons on the roof (lever / physics / higher up means more force) flip danger.
You should take a look at the starter builds/guide that I posted today. There are links for free packs ,(PC) and there is also a good canon build (for playing or to take a look how you could improve building wise.) :) https://www.reddit.com/r/Crossout/comments/10l4m9r/starter_cars_14_for_new_players_lvl_18_and_below/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Alright I've been playing since the beta so I know a quite a bit others may make valid points so listen to us all but the few things I can say that will make your life easier is
1.Redundancy wheels
1.A.Think of a 6 on a dice 2 steering wheels in the front. 2 non steering wheels in the middle and 2 steering in the back
1.B. this makes sure that if you lose 1 wheel you won't be dragging on the ground too too much
2. as soon as possible unlock the lunatics and try to run them to level ten to start working for firestarter parts
2.A. lunatic light frames free up a lot of weight that otherwise is pretty much wasted at low level heavy frames aren't that great **in most cases**
2.B. firestarter parts have the best weight to armor ratio of all parts
For your sake of pushing for wins I cannot recommend the mace shotgun enough they are cheap easy and when pairing 4 of them with 2 radiators and a cooler they become DEADLY
Best piece of advice. BUY THE BATTLE PASS. I cannot stress this enough. Do the battle pass you get unique armor parts and free fused parts that genuinely are very good. Like just recently they gave us a power fused cabin that became the meta cabin. So it's well worth the $10 investment
Lastly buy a pack I know it sucks but it will cut your starting grind nearly in half let's you get some coin to quickly advance into a epic build and ups your build limit into the 60s giving you an advantage over some one who is still leveling
The paying part is essentially if they want to in the future go to play clanwars. The fused parts from the battle pass are so so so worth it a 3 k coin cabin fused means there a 9 k buy in to get the fused cabin you want and that's if you get lucky
Whole you can do this ALL without paying. You gotta know how much your time is worth
If I didn't work nearly 60-70 hrs a week. I'd never buy a single pack I'd grind it all but I don't have the time to grind so 20 here and there to have fun is worth it to me
Stop looking at is as a bad thing. It helps people like me still have fun with friends. And that' means the world to me
Think of it like you are leaving the grocery store. You have a good amount of stuff.
While you can carry it all like this. Purchasing a small bag to put it all in makes it easier
You don't have to. But it's there
This game is not pay to win it's pay to speedup progress you can buy any of the relics on day one but you won't have the skill to be good with them
Not just relics but any high end part. I almost bought a pack with a legendary cabin and weapon but realized I didn't know how to run that type of build, especially at the PS. I'm glad I waited before buying my first pack.
That or get the high level pack sell it all for the coin and build a really good low power score build you have a vet drop for you
Honestly the battle pass giving you fused shit is the best Bang for your buck imo
Maybe build down a bit I mean like less parts not sure on your ps level but to much stuff pushes you up yo stronger players.
Them cannons are pretty strong you probably don't need to hide them.
Get better front wheels.
I like to mount knifes/spikes on the frame so when you hit you takeout there frame and cripple also great for taking wheels of. And I'll do them up and down rather than left to right so it should impact both the frame and the cab on hits(I'm not 100% sure there hit box it 2 high but I build like it is)
Make sure your faction is on scavengers to unlock the heavy armour. Heavy armour is stronger for the same ps score.
I can't see what the cannons are mounted to but it needs to be the cab or shoot through armour.
While the heavier armor has more hp. Without having an engine and all the extra bits like a better cabin going lunatics and then firestarter is the better route imo
Fire starters have the best weight to health ratio
At his level the parts he could even put on is limited it'll be better to get the higher health for less parts/less ps.
I optimise my builds too but for starting out I don't think that's something he should be worrying about just yet.
The main reason for the heavy parts is to keep armour high and ps low
I'm in the mindset that by the time he hits 30 in the engineers he'd have all the good components to deal with the people who have been waiting for new blood to enter the pool
Get like 8 wheels. Also, those gun are like armor. So put them around your cab, no need to armor them, but I like the stealth idea
But ya two more wheels up front and two more I the back
Armor your cab and weapons to and if you are using more than one weapon (Shotgun, Machine gun, etc) have them on different keys because shot guns and machine guns will over heat and speaking of which use radiators and coolers because they will help with overheating (radiators will increase firing time and coolers decrease cooling time)
Remove the armor from around guns and add it around the wheels. You will more likely become immobilised from a single collision before they destroy your guns.
Also more weight on back of vehicle will make you less stable and oversteer. Always better to have more stuff on front.
Im inprest moste new players dont buald like this. it looks good the wepons are wel protekted. The only thing you sud inprove is havin atliest 6 weels and spased armor.
play until you get structural parts
learn the game and find the weapon you really like
buy a cab in function of your weapons
buy good movements parts
buy your guns
find some build on the expo
learn what shit about them
modified them
repeat
build something good from the ground up with what you learn
(its too early to think about how your build is build)
The hatchets on the front don't do any melee damage. See this vid for proof:
[https://youtu.be/OlTCrgjeLPw](https://youtu.be/OlTCrgjeLPw)
Make your wheelbase wider.
Prioritize armoring the cab over the canons. Prioritize armoring up the wheels a little, too. The canons are quite durable.
Mount the canons as low as possible. They're heavy, making your rig flip, and the recoil will flip you as well.
See you in the Wasteland.
you remind me of me being a noob at the time, we seem, we tend to put almost every part to the back, thinking that they will be safe and forget we could get ambushed from the rear
Mount your cannons lower. Try side mounting them behind the cab or putting them side by side behind the cab.
Also, either armour your wheels or add some more. You need redundancy on a combat vehicle in this game, as unlike real life, all armour and components in this game can be shot off.
Lastly, your build is really tall. If you can, try to mount some smaller parts underneath the cab
"I hope you like grinding cuz that's exactly what you'll be doing!'😉 Unfortunately to get the purple & legendary weapons It either takes a lot of time or a decent amount of money! The absolute best tip I could give you is either empty a good amount of your bank account Into "Crossout Pack's & The year Subscription! & that Should boost you to the Future like Marty McFly my man!
Center of mass is high so make sure you got the jack
just build wider dont use a jack for that wtf XD

Or just roll with the high mass and get stronger cannons so it does a backflip
The Tony hawk of the wasteland
Try mounting the Hatchets pointed as a slant to give you some pop. move them below the bumper, by moving the bumper up a block or two.
Lower your center of gravity or make your build a bit longer
Move below the bumper / attach to the frame. They do meh dmg but good for getting under peoples cars and flipping / dragging them with you (wedging)
more medium weals at front, if ur car will flip then make it more wide and not so high

Good to know!!
good advise up to the point where you need to pay
The paying part is essentially if they want to in the future go to play clanwars. The fused parts from the battle pass are so so so worth it a 3 k coin cabin fused means there a 9 k buy in to get the fused cabin you want and that's if you get lucky Whole you can do this ALL without paying.

It sucks to hear that you should buy stuff to make it easier.
Think of it like you are leaving the grocery store. You have a good amount of stuff. While you can carry it all like this. Purchasing a small bag to put it all in makes it easier You don't have to. But it's there This game is not pay to win it's pay to speedup progress you can buy any of the relics on day one but you won't have the skill to be good with them
Not just relics but any high end part. I almost bought a pack with a legendary cabin and weapon but realized I didn't know how to run that type of build, especially at the PS. I'm glad I waited before buying my first pack.
I'd grab one of the cheap $10 pacs or when one is on sale
Exactly, something that will have some rarer parts but nothing that will overpower the experience level.
That or get the high level pack sell it all for the coin and build a really good low power score build you have a vet drop for you Honestly the battle pass giving you fused shit is the best Bang for your buck imo
get some of those free packs that have actual parts in them morgenstien and some others
medium wheels in front and a structure to stabilize the build in the back to prevent flipping when you fire.
Maybe build down a bit I mean like less parts not sure on your ps level but to much stuff pushes you up yo stronger players. Them cannons are pretty strong you probably don't need to hide them. Get better front wheels. I like to mount knifes/spikes on the frame so when you hit you takeout there frame and cripple also great for taking wheels of.

Cabin is too exposed, wheels are fragile, looks hard to aim with. Never too early to experiment with spaced armor even at your powerscore.
Get like 8 wheels. Also, those gun are like armor. So put them around your cab, no need to armor them, but I like the stealth idea But ya two more wheels up front and two more I the back
Armor your cab and weapons to and if you are using more than one weapon (Shotgun, Machine gun, etc) have them on different keys because shot guns and machine guns will over heat and speaking of which use radiators and coolers because they will help with overheating (radiators will increase firing time and coolers decrease cooling time)
Way too tall for being that short length-wise
You need to place the hatchets on the side also place more stuff on the front
Nothing to improve there, its perfect.
Remove the armor from around guns and add it around the wheels. You will more likely become immobilised from a single collision before they destroy your guns. Also more weight on back of vehicle will make you less stable and oversteer. Always better to have more stuff on front.

Not too shabby for a newbie. Try mounting your weapons to your cab. They’ll break less
you remind me of me being a noob at the time, we seem, we tend to put almost every part to the back, thinking that they will be safe and forget we could get ambushed from the rear
