I Personally think they could just add the parts to the Factions that they belong and just select to level them just like the other ones. It's Crazy that you need 108300 Badges to unluck all of them if you have nothing and that number is only going to grow. I Made a small mistake in the intro where i mentioned that you needed to buy the pass to get the parts that is INCORRECT. All the structual parts are free for all players and you do not need to buy the pass. It's just that if you start playing in 2024 you have a lot of catching up to do. Most people always focus on weapons, cabin and modules but if you don't have good structural parts you won't be able to make the most effective build you visioned in your mind. Leave your thoughts in the comments and let's discuss it.
It's awesome to see they didn't made badges a paid thing cuz the devs really like money but it's practically impossible to get all the parts so why even bother showing it up in game devs ? This game is designed for somebody who can grind all day and night without a life
Just a tip for you newer players any part that has pass through and adds actual durability to your car is a must have cause i saw JB made a mistake saying that the helicopter wing aint worth getting but parts like that are S tier the durability to weight ratio is almost 1 it has pass through and it adds durability to your actual vehicle hope that helps ✌🏽
came scrolling looking for this, i was like JB noo! those are sneaky useful and have really cool mounting points! not to mention “pass through” any pass through parts are a must for me, even those hella hard to use helicopter landing sleds, i dont use those as much as the wings but i have them!
@@OlympicPerfothings that don’t have “pass through” are for protecting the cabin & modules. “Pass through” structures are for holding weapons because remember. If your gun’s mount breaks pre-maturely, then the gun on top of it also breaks
As someone who has all the structural parts... My short list of what to buy first: Elbows Screeners Saya Crane sides Gassan bumper APC bumpers I believe some of the base faction parts available can be earned by leveling without spending badges. (Verify before spending badges, or you'll pay for things you could get for free.)
no items from badge exchange can be earned from faction xp ever. free and bought packs give structural parts, though, so collect them before buying any
@gonozal8_962 I stand corrected. It's been so long since I finished the factions that my memory is a bit hazy... but I stand behind my recommendations😉
I really appreciate this video. I've been trying to get my noob friend into crossout, but it's hard explaining literally EVERYTHING or ANYTHING to new players, cuz crossout just doesn't really help or inform new players lol. Ps also i would reccomend getting parts with a 3 pin dimension, lots of times builds will have awkward positioning and having those odd numbered parts can save on structure limit
Haha it's easy getting people to play but hard to keep them playing. my Final beginners guide still hold up the only thing is in order to earn a ton of badges you need an active clan. Thanks for the comment
For new players, build with structural parts with high explosion resistance and melee resistance. Or use part with resistance to whatever you face the most, whether it be blast dmg or fire dmg
also, if you use eg tracks and use structural parts behind them for hp, they should have blast resist because that’s the only type of damage penetrating the tracks
Well done JB not many experienced players like yourself put such good videos out for newer players. You are definitely playing a part in keeping cross out alive, coz as we all know gaijin don't do a good job at that themselves lol. New players need help more now than ever and I was also shocked to see the sheer amount of structural parts they need to unlock! Anyhow well done and keep up the good work love all your videos 👍 keep up the good work man 🙂.
Thabks JB. My mates and I have just started, and it is actually a simple game to play, but incredibly complex to understand and master. Videos like this help.
I think it took me two years of playing nearly everyday and having the premium account exp bonus to unlock all the prestige faction parts. It’s crazy how much they expect a new player to sink in order just to have decent structural parts.
Even with tons of parts, theres still MISSING A LOT of uneven pins parts, like 3/3, 5/3, 5/5, 7/7, etc.. Since i stop playing for a couple of years, theres plenty of parts i dont have, but i find them to much expensive... they should cost 100 for simple parts and 300 only for big bumpers or passive melee parts.
Tried getting back into crossout a few months ago and this was hell. I was grinding for badges until I had to quit. Again. If you play for years you can unlock all the factions, but the battlepass armor is just too unfair.
All structural parts are free on every bp you just have to grind lvls then after the bp they add to the badge exchange so you don’t miss them when bp ends one nice thing they actually do
I would only say to always trying to balance all your structural parts by only putting parts from the same weight ratio on your build to get the best amount of life you can get
I don't know what it is about that part but it hinders my aiming when i use it. Also their resistances are good for specific situations i prefer to have bullet and blast resistance. Thanks for the comments though it helps
@@JBRider Yeah, really! Until christmas (if it will be then) there's a lot of badges to collect. Btw JB - we're talking about your content in the german chat. Often. You're doing your thing really good!
Great video buddy, very useful for new player's, I would suggest getting all shoot through part's as a must, and some of the light to medium mass armour part's as new players will be short on mass limits
I say you should make a video on the best structure parts for each of the meta builds that way newer engineers like myself don't have to rely so heavily on the exhibition to find good designs
don't sit on the left and right helicopter wing they have 42 durability and 44 mass, with 50% bullet passthrough, when you trying to push your builds durability as high as possible, provided that you have a parts limit available, these pieces can be great, especially when you are already using heavy bumpers taking up a large amount of your mass, parts kind of fall into 1 of 4 categories to me high durability to PS ratio these parts tend to be your apc parts truck somethings etc, and they are good for low PS builds where your trying to get as much durability as possible, but keep your PS low high durability to mass ratio these parts are all over the place, but if you don't care about your power score, you want to be getting as much durability for the mass your spending, since mass tends to be your limiting factor passthrough and resistances, obviously pieces like the gun mount bumpers etc and unique shapes, this game actually does an amazing job when it comes to hitbox interactions between weapons and panel pieces, those excavator sides are a perfect example of this, they are essentially mostly a half tile width block similar to the bumper "catch" about a year ago i used to use them on a big heavy arbiter spider where the excavator sides would slip under the barrels of the arbiters to give the guns a bit more protection and to help restricts the arbiters firing angle, as back in the day, if the arbiters would try to shoot your armor, you would instantly loose your perk, the arbiters and there perk have changed since then however, you can't burner them as hard as you could but the shape of this piece is still super unique so it might fine use in random situatoins
Founder structure (especially the digger side) is very good for new players. Elbows are super handy and armor slabs are super op if used correctly. The problem with elbows, snow plows and ice breakers is that they have a super high ps usage. For low ps you should stick to the heavy parts from the founders. For high ps the mounting brackets and saya are by far the best parts!
There's a bumper on the pack that has 2 equalizer, hermes boosters, and the cockpit cabin, that's not available for engineer badges. Makes me wonder if there's other parts only available in packs.
When i started collecting every structure parts i started with the bumpers i'm now going for every printed and syndicate part and i will decide later what parts type to move on with once i have the printed and syndicate parts
I quit 2 years ago, had most of what I wanted from badges. They kinda went all out on this. I'm mostly interested I. Pieces that can give my builds a feeling of variety now though. Can't stand looking at some of thr common pieces I've used for years.
yup i've been using 50% of my badges on these parts for well it feels like a year at this point. I almost got all the ones worth getting. The fenders i don't see a point in getting
Patch notes: Bumpers now may be placed on the front and rear of build in a horizontal position only. Comment; too many players were creative and using bumpers not as intended and putting them on the side or rotating them. This should balance battles until the next shiny op thing.
Just imagine if he played on console and had to start from the bottom with only one free bundle which was like 1200 power score. . . Some people don't realize that it takes literal weeks or even several months for normal players to get to the 3000 - 5000 power score with one simi crappy build. Which he always says is low power score.
It doesn’t take months🤣🤣 from joining a clan all you need is rep 10 and you get 2 special weapons, path of legends gives fused rares and also special weapon at the end
@@Kon9281 true you can always just leech off of others or just buy packs and seasons. . . You got me. For only 93,999.99 coins you can buy *2 devourers (93,99.99 each) or roughly 90k to make it easier and price should drop as this is market prices atm. That's only 18k crosscrowns in the store conversation rate or $1,200 USD. . . For one. . . That not only gets you in the 4k power score bracket day one but gets you one usable part to go with your 700 durability car.
Not saying they haven't made it way easier to advance because they have. I mostly play in the 12k-15k atm and can barely break into the 17.5k builds, but that's only because I been buying the season passes. Early game is rough.
@@scopedbambi2382 why on earth would you buy devoureror, clan wars only relic you need is an Odin, and you can substitute it for a Thor if you use hovers, plenty of legendarys good in clan wars, even 1-2 epics right now. And path of legends is free you don’t need to leech off anyone.
So many questions left out. Does it make sense to make a gap of emptynies between your armor? Is it better do overlay the parts for more integrity since they touch multiple parts or is it nonsense and so on.
it's pointless to leave gaps since spaced armor doesn't work anymore. bumpers are always solid next to frames since it will prevent melee weapons to slice you upon impact and of course the more contact points the better. feel free to ask away brother.
I couldn't recommend the game to my casual gamer friends. If you're not going to grind every day as a new player is a lost cause, and you'll always be at a big disadvantage. If you can put in LOTS of time and a little money the game can be pretty cool.
We can love or hate this game,but this game will never be popular,and few nubs apear here and there,but wery soon dispear,sealclubbing is huge problem,broken weps sold thru packs are big problem,game is hard grind,rly not friendly enviroment for nub,CW is hold with end clans who control uranium market,so forget about relics,devs doing what?Nerf buff is almost every few weeks,if you want to fuse some wep,cab,hover,wheel for what you will do that?next week it will be nerfed,game become full of toxic players(idk maybe all normal good players are gone) i know JB you are doing best you can and your work is entertainment oriented,love your videos and i will continue to watch,but game is rly going nowhere😔
That’s a lot of grind for structural parts, espescially since they locked most of the badges behind clans now. Also, there are the permanent crafting recipes exclusive to participants of old battlepasses as well. I’ve never seen another game that penalize new players as much as crossout, a fresh player could never hope to catch up to the veterans. I’ve been playing on and off since 2018 and if I had to start over now, I’d probably quit in less than a week. The devs are trying really hard to kill this game for good.
Hey jb another coment here i saw somebody macro the game i didnt even thought it was possible but he uses drones and then moves in random directions hoping he deals some damage to get a few bit of scrapmetal can you make a video explaning about this problem because macro is unfair to other legit players
You mean he uses a script or macro to afk and grind? That used to be an issues a while back but i thought they fixed it. I'll see if i can find more info on it.
@@JBRider I don't have any idea if he uses script or just a macro autoclicker but he sure does wastes space in a team he always has the same build with drones on hovers and heavy space armour
I Personally think they could just add the parts to the Factions that they belong and just select to level them just like the other ones. It's Crazy that you need 108300 Badges to unluck all of them if you have nothing and that number is only going to grow. I Made a small mistake in the intro where i mentioned that you needed to buy the pass to get the parts that is INCORRECT.

Woah it's the dirk. Take care your family bro, forget crossout
To be fair, I quite like tips videos like these, especially from jb
reflector fender is the best structural part in the game, 75 dura for not a lot of mass and even though it doesnt look like it u can fit them anywhere
also good weapon protection when you can only spare half a pin of height
I would only say to always trying to balance all your structural parts by only putting parts from the same weight ratio on your build to get the best amount of life you can get
JB the reflector is amazing, it has high durability for its size, really good for armoring weapons
I don't know what it is about that part but it hinders my aiming when i use it. Also their resistances are good for specific situations i prefer to have bullet and blast resistance. Thanks for the comments though it helps
unless you need a particularly part I would stock on badges and unlock them when at 50%off around Christmas if I'm not mistaken

Thank you jb this will be very helpful for me
Keep going mate. u are the best content creator i know for crossout ❤
the main point of the buggy parts is lightweight passthrough, making them good for mounting or spaced armour.
@urabozomcgeee that doesn't work anymore. Remember. They changed the penetration mechanics so lunatic parts kinda suck now
