Crossout review5/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Only the most hardcore are going to work that grind without going insane. I think the simplest fix is to lower some of the costs of building, or increase the amount of parts you gain from wins by a decent factor. ![]() Which is unfortunate, because this game is immensely fun. ![]() Unless you’re lucky enough to get whole armaments in some of the crates you can acquire, it’s rough. The grind can take days, but most likely will take weeks to get this stuff normally. God help you if you want to build Legendary parts. For example, to create the Rare Shotgun “ST-M23 Defender,” you need 450 Scrap, 50 Copper, and certain parts: LM-54 Chord Machine Gun, two Small Wheels, and two Dockers. You have to join specific maps to get wire, or shotguns, or electronics, or whatever you need. So how do you get coins without spending money on vehicles to break down and sell the rare parts? You have to craft them. It all falls apart, if you will, when you consider how long you have to play to get ahead, short of having coins. The best part of this game is the actual in-game action. The endless, relentless grind to acquire new weapons. On the other hand, I do think it’s pay to win, but that’s because of the grind. If your team can reach you, they can help you out, but odds are, they’ll get stuck too… I do think it’s pay to go faster. However, these don’t offer you more skill, or stop you from behind wedged upside down in between a series of rocks, that even a jack can’t get you out of. But with enough money, I’m sure that won’t be an issue. Will being able to purchase better weapons through money put you on a higher playing field? Sure, that is if your rig can afford the energy drain of it. It doesn’t say that I can yet, but I assume that will change in the “open beta”. Or… you can buy them on the in-game store. To get coins you can sell stuff on the marketplace, items you win in battle that you aren’t going to use, rewards from crates, et cetera. Let’s talk acquisition though, and consider the “pay to win” aspect. But I’ve been absolutely smashed by rocket builds, machine gun builds, shotgun builds…and I think I hate melee builds the most, especially ones that can tip you over. The vehicle I’m using is from one of the packs, and it’s pretty damn strong. So that leads to the big question that every free to play asks: “Is this going to be pay to win?” and I’m honestly not sure. You can also save the blueprint of these designs, to change them, or to utilize them yourself, if you have the parts for it. I mean, someone built a train, a Delorean, a school bus, even a damn refrigerator! With enough matches, time, and effort, you can literally build anything your heart desires. I have seen some absolutely remarkable builds though! In fact, there’s a button on the main screen, Exhibition, where you can show off your work to be praised by others. However, if you obliterate the other team, they can’t get that objective either. The matches are blissfully short, and you have fairly standard objectives: Destroy the other team, capture the enemy team, two teams, one objective, go capture it. Or whatever you have the parts for, and enter battle against another team who has done the same. In Crossout, you build a tank, or a jeep. So let’s talk a little bit about what the game is. I did not expect to have as much fun as I did, and it’s due to a variety of reasons. It’s a free-to-play MMO, but it’s also a team-based shooter where you create the vehicle in which you offer destruction to your enemies. ![]() Trading options between players: Every piece that you have gathered in the battle can be sold to other players.I had a hard time quantifying exactly what Crossout is. Your own workshop: Create new, advanced parts and auction them at the in-game marketplace. Huge arsenal of weapons: From chain saws, power-drills over machine guns to rocket launchers, flying drones and stealth generators. Advanced damage model: Destroy any part of an enemy machine and it will affect the vehicle's performance immediately. Complete freedom of creativity and thousands of possible combinations: Create vehicles of any shape using dozens of parts, wide variety of armour and weapons as well as support systems. Unique vehicles, crafted by the players using a wide range of available parts: From nimble buggies to heavily tracked off-road vehicles or combat platforms on antigrav fields. Join CROSSOUT, the post-apocalyptic MMO Action game! Craft your unique battle machines from dozens of interchangeable parts, ride them directly into combat and destroy your enemies in explosive PvP online battles! ![]()
