Crossout beginner's guide: builds, items, weapons and combat

This is a sponsored post created in partnership with Gaijin Entertainment.
Crossout's gameplay is divided over two areas: fighting and building. The smug satisfaction you can get from mounting a cannon to the back of your vehicle and then swinging round, mid-combat, to reveal your enormous tube of fiery death is what makes being a wasteland survivor so awesome. But you can only do this if you've got the parts and the knowledge to make it possible. And while you'll have to source the parts yourself, we can definitely help you with the latter.
If you fancy getting involved in some vehicular destruction, sign up to play Crossout for free now.
