Efficient, Accessible and Budget builds ("EAB" tag)

I guess you guys saw the dev blog yesterday ! If not yet, go check it out there : New season in Crossout. Part 2: new cabin and changes to existing parts - News - Crossout

One of the news is the Hot Rod going from Medium rare (pun intended) to Special light cabin, with only a speed increase from 80 to 90 km/h and the classic PS increase to 1300 PS, and accuracy perk of +15 %.

This new Speed, PS and perk might make the Hot rod a great cabin for budget pvp and hard raids, paired with tackers. cabin price was expensive for a rare, but not so much for a special one, and the mass limit is still high for a such cabin. Even the PS increase will help us reaching the 8000 PS restriction.
Tackers have fine durability for an MG and the new perk will compensate the lack of precision of the weapon.

Food for thoughts until we get the final parameters !

Come on, don’t fool the players, there’s never been only one great cabin good at raid: the Catalina

You’re right ! :slight_smile: but it’s a + 2000c pack cabin and I’m focusing for now Budget buildsm with Accessible structural parts, constructed well to be Efficient, hence the EAB topic name.

As a decent entry hard raid build, the minimum is a special cab and 12pts of epic weapon, is what I found to be at the same time cheap and viable. I made a pilgrim tacklers, a Bat Specters, now Hot Rod might be a good option too

It can be seen that the developer is only interested in money. No changes to ps and relics.

For difficult raids, the ability of the most powerful epic weapons must be the incinerator, and only two, the ability can sometimes be compared with retcher, or even more than, new players with it can be

Thank you for the link Charlie.

SIDE NOTE: For anyone that wants to talk about the new update we also have this topic below.

I would expect this price to go out the roof.

Yeah you’re right :frowning: hot rod’s price will most likely increase or at least still stay a bit more expensive than other specials cabs

This cabin is already selling for 600+ coins on Xbox.

That is 2/3 times what it was a few weeks ago.

As soon as everyone realizes it is going to change rarity it will go up even higher I think.

market for those cabins is basically froze on pc , i grabbed a carapace last night but none of them have sell offers

Hello survivors !

Today I present you a build designed to be E.A.B for PvE and PvP !

Meet this Wheeled Aggressor Spectres !

Agressor’s perk is easier to maintain with last buff requiring 1sec instead of 0.5s to lose a charge, and with Spectre they do some good damage !
They’ll do hard raids and PvP, but remind that the build is fast, with good DPS, at the cost of durability. Spectres are fragiles, stay discreet and disarm in the middle of fights.

Using the free decors and some interchangeable paints and stickers, It’s accessible around level 25 for a cost of around 1700c.

Let me know what you think about it !

the name of the thread implies that they will be efficient accessible and budget builds , pretty doesnt usually coincide with efficient at lower levels … or higher levels look at spaced armor , not pretty lol

Yes you are right, it is somewhat of a conflict, but if I were a community manager, I would find a way to make new players actually understand this information and much of the introductory content associated with them, rather than just posting it on the forum where few people pay attention

Hello
This little EAB thread and project is a personal one, I’m building cars for new players on my own time like any other player can do :slight_smile:

You’re right about the visibilty, I sometimes post those builds on reddit. I did post this last build on Discord and in-game chat. I also re-modified it in between.
I’ll make a post on reddit soon about this build as I quite like it ^^

I love this thread… One of my daily-drivers is a slightly modified Charlie-EAB-Build.
I’m level 81 with the Engineers, and still appreciate these clever builds.

The one I modified is ever so slightly prettier… That’s it.

Spending time leveling on PC… this is really bad, you can’t list items that normally go for 400 if there isn’t one listed near 400… etc…

Probably the biggest thing about the game I would cry about if my main account was on PC. Market is broken all across it other than farmable mats. And those are severely price depressed because of it.

I tried several of the builds on here when I had the weapons. The ones I tried worked very good and I suggest them to people that want a strong build but need ideas.

Hi ! Today, a build that @82888150 might enjoy, a strong bear defender !

it actually uses a mix of rare the special upgrade, but at a bit lower PS than usual, allowing to be a bit more competitive while reaching 5K PS with guardians.

At that point, you should check my builds under Charlie9204 and Charlie9204_XO to make sure you didn`t miss anything !

Are all Of these builds pretty much the same car design?

The style of the armor laying flat is bizarre.
