Crossout Overview

Crossout offers a post-apocalyptic, Mad Max-style gaming experience where players can construct combat vehicles using collected scrap metal and spare parts, ranging from speedy two-wheeled vehicles to powerful Leviathans. As you progress, you acquire more parts to enhance the destructive potential of your builds. While the game features a simple and somewhat incomplete storyline centered around faction battles for control, its focus lies on customization and a well-designed combat system. With a thoughtfully crafted overall design, Crossout is a free-to-play option worth exploring for fans of PvP games and explosive action.

Crossout Review

Crossout Garage

The Garage is where the building aspect of the game unfolds, enabling you to customize your combat vehicle with Frames, Weapons, Hardware, and Movement Parts. Choose from various movement options like Wheels, tracks, and hover engines. Equip your vehicle with Armor, Cloaking Devices, and Radar for added protection. Arm yourself with Machine Guns, Rockets, Shot Guns, and Drones for ranged combat, or attach melee weapons like Flame Throwers, Wheel Spikes, Drills, and Saws for close-quarters battles. Increase your speed by adding engines and personalize each part with different colors to complete your custom-builds. The Garage is a crucial feature that empowers you to create unlimited combat vehicle designs.

Crossout Factions and Leveling

Factions play a crucial role in crafting within Crossout. The Faction system allows you to select the type of gear you wish to craft in the game, starting with the engineer faction as the default option providing access to common gear patterns. From there, you can choose from eight other factions, each focusing on different crafting specialties. Progressing through levels within a chosen faction grants access to blueprints and higher crafting tiers, including Frames, Weapons, Hardware, and Movement Parts.

Crossout Crafting

Crafting in Crossout involves unlocking patterns by leveling up the factions, gathering materials through missions or purchasing from the market, and sometimes needing lower tier parts to complete items. While crafting may initially be confusing for new players, learning a few tricks can make it a rewarding system.

Crossout Market

The Market simplifies the process of buying and selling crafted items and materials among players, providing a convenient alternative to faction leveling. It offers a straightforward and user-friendly platform for obtaining items from various factions.

The Shop

The shop offers a variety of items for purchase through microtransactions, including premade combat vehicles, Premium Subscriptions, Season Passes, and Customization Items. However, the use of two currencies, Cross Crowns and Coins, can be confusing. Cross Crowns are used for cash purchases and to buy everything except for market items. Simplifying the system by eliminating Cross Crowns and focusing solely on cash purchases would improve clarity and user experience.

Crossout Exhibition

Exhibition offers a platform to showcase and share your creations. Its user-friendly interface allows for seamless posting and downloading of blueprints, enabling you to construct vehicles with the parts you possess. The extensive customization and build tools provided by Exhibition enhance the replayability of the experience.

Crossout Challenges

Challenges consist of daily and weekly battle goals, with rewards typically being scrap metal for dailies and Engineering Badges or Containers for weeklies. Players can exchange Engineering Badges for parts or resources, while Containers hold random parts and build items. Overall, we believe the implementation of Challenges is highly effective.
