Is this the Best build under 2500 Powerscore? - Crossout Basics

#crossoutbasics #crossout
There are a lot of build combinations in the game of XO, and when you are starting out as a beginner it can be difficult to know what parts are really worth grinding for. In this video I will share with you my best advanced build under 2500 Power Score. So, even if you don't have these parts available yet, hopefully this will help convince you that they are worth your time. Are their other builds out their that can do a better job? I guarantee it, but at least this one gets the job done quite well.

[@kestutisstugys1189]

When it comes to the effectiveness of a build, I believe there are more things to consider. One of them is versatility. I mean, I have a few builds that are good at long range, but if they are getting too close, I'm basically FUBAR, while with other builds I try to close distance as soon as possible because my weapons at long range are pretty much as effective as mean words. Another thing to consider is the learning curve. I mean some builds are completely useless, no matter what you do, while others take quite a bit of skill to use effectively, while others are easy to use, but are not necessarily the most effective against skilled payers. I think these things should also be taken into account when discussing the effectiveness of a build.

[@therevenantschakalofkrieg2495]

Funny enough, it is similar build to my 2.7k peircer truck "volunteer" this kinda inspires me to make some key modifications to improve its effectiveness. Thx for the inspiration my man. You did all the new guys a favour by presenting this beast to the world.

They won't get far with one leg. 🤕

[@denisloebner4882]

solid build. piercers are great for low score battles as they are more prone to play out as close to mid range battles. depending on the match however radar&radio has diminishing returns in lowscore matches as players are less likely to keep an eye on the map and battles often feature way more bots which dont care about mapintel either.

I feel like this build could have used some more spaced armor, and those two 2x1x4 sloped grill parts don't seem to be doing much. I found that frame parts have an excellent powerscore/durability ratio, as well as providing decent ram protection. Maxwell has a metric ton of durability, maybe you could have made that build a bit longer and have put the radar in the front, covered with some more armor?

[@TCS23]

Thanks, I appreciate that! Melee weapons can rip up builds like no other. The downside is that it can be tough to sneak up on opponents and not be detected or noticed by other players. I would highly recommend at least using a CHAMELEON or the CHAMELEON MK2 with melee builds. As for the factions, every one of them has parts worth getting, I think it's more about what your play style is. I hope that helps!

Used piercers back when they were still a rare weapon, and even being "nerfed" by becoming special tier, they still dominate low PS substantially. I made a triple piercer build with a pseudo wedge, and both a rare cooler and radiator. Reason for 3 over 4 is I wanted the chameleon to sneak around. Biggest tip I have for this gun in particular is at 50-85m, tap firing can do stupid damage since the accuracy will be significantly better. Do this to strip enemy weps or mobility, then rush in guns blazing. Also the sprinter cab could work better here since players can add a common rad or cooler without needing to add a generator to the build

Awesome suggestions Ryan! That's one of the great aspects of Crossout, taking a build and making it even better. 🙂

[@EvanMoon]

All of the pieces that he used came from the beginner level cars. Then you can just Grind away and sell scrap metal (1000 Units gives you about $110). In this way you do not have to get very high level in order to get guns or the parts to build this vehicle. The essential thing about buying parts is going to the trade scream and never buying at full cost. Sell your scrap metal a couple cents less than the lower cost and buy for a couple cents more than the competition so that you can get what you need fairly quickly.

[@TCS23]

Sorry for the late response. To answer your question, Level 10 with the ENGINEERS Faction is a good goal. By then you will have opened up access to ADVENTURE MODE, the MARKET and NOMADS Faction. Adventure Mode will give you "Engraved Casings" for the Piercers crafting recipe. Nomads Faction will allow you to craft the Maxwell Radar.

[@TCS23]

The radar + radio are key components of this build. They help you to spot those "shotguns" in advance, and to share that info to your team as well. I'm working on a radar guide atm, so stick around for that if you're interested. 🙂

I have more fun, yet very effective fusion build. It's 2.1k ps wedge build, it contains 2 luparas, 2 sledgehammers, 2 chameleons, 2 contacts, 1 rift, 1 blue radiator, 1 sprinter and 1 duster cab. It doesn't have fuel barrels but it's fun and surprisingly effective

[@xasanth6318]

The lightweight frame parts come from the Lunatics Faction. You don't necessarily need those, you can use ones from the Engineers Faction.

[@belewda]

Seriously? That build included items that would take months to grind out for a free player and depended on a level 30+ co-driver. Not exactly noob friendly.

[@TCS23]

The level 30 requirement to unlock co-drivers was a recent update to the game. I made this video when you could unlock co-driver levels progressively. Also, the items I used probably went up in price from when I purchased them over a year ago.

[@rogerp.2442]

False. started a FTP run on console in Jan 23 and could have made this within 1-2 weeks easily. A few levels of nomads and lunatics, do your daily and weekly challenges, sell gas. It’s 3 specials and 2 rares (4 rares if you fuse rad, which I did within the first week). Pretty easy to craft a rare part every day, and get a purple crate every 2 weeks (3 at very start) with engineer badges. Personally I went for fused growl cab before specials but easy if you have around an hour every day to play, and actually focus on a goal vs crafting anything that seems cool at the time.

[@tribbergrips1613]

As a free player, it took me a week or 2. Maybe 3. And anything that I was missing I just supplemented or didn't use till i got it. That's not including the co-driver. That was never mandatory for this build.

Funny I run nearly the same build with the sprinter. I don't use the radar but I do use two fused coolers. Carrying the team is a normal thing for me now. Usually I end up with +2700 points per match and mvp. I stacked two large spike bumpers side by side on the front to keep pesky bots at bay and use the dawns children fenders from the last event for armor. Really good looking build and people don't expect the small guy to wreck so hard.

Piercers over summators?

[@TCS23]

Summators are great weapons. The main issue with them in this Power Score is that they use up 4 energy a piece. You pretty much need 2 of them to be effective, so that uses up all 8 energy points. As soon as I see a Summator build I just keep some distance and use my radar to flank them. So in this case, yeah, Piercers beats Summators, imo.

Seal clubbing at its finest. Under 2500ps is where the new (inexperienced)players hang out. Like fishing with dynamite, they barely have access to blue weapons, and don't know what fusing is. Is it cool....sure, do builds like this make new players quit playing, yup.

[@TCS23]

I hear you, and I appreciate the feedback. Yes, this build is better than most, and yes, not every player has access to these parts... Welcome to CROSSOUT. The truth is, I had to grind my way to these parts, and I've been "seal clubbed" plenty of times along the way. 90% of my time in XO I play around the 9-11k PS, and guess what you find there? Someone with 3-4 PORCUPINES wreaking havoc on everyone in their path. To be honest, I really think it's a developer issue, not a player issue.

[@gonna_try_anyway7047]

@@TCS23 your 100% right there. Seal clubbing is inevitable, and I'm mostly okay with it at anything above 4k. The new player area(sub 2500k) is the only one I won't seal club in.
