Crossout guide: 7 tips for building an anti-Leviathan

Craft - all controllable mobile vehicles in the game world (cars).

Survivor - the driver of the craft.

Structure - strength, armor of both individual components and the entire craft.

Power score (PS) - the measure of the combat vehicle's strength. The PS of a vehicle is the sum of the characteristics of all components installed on it. The cooler the part, the more PS is attached to it. The more components installed on your vehicle, the stronger you are and the more formidable your opponents are.

Leviathans – bosses, the most destructive vehicles in Crossout. Leviathans appear in the "Invasion" mode. Leviathans are created by players and controlled by the computer.

Hello, my young builders. Today I will share my knowledge on creating an anti-Leviathan using Osa. Like many others, I love Crossout for its in-game builder that provides wide opportunities for crafting. In Crossout, anyone can create a battle horse from scratch, guided only by their own preferences. It is about creating, not upgrading by selecting the best components from the list provided by the developers. This feature of the game should be utilized to make well-thought-out crafts that will help you steer through battles against metal monsters. Unfortunately, I constantly encounter incorrect, impractical, and unoptimized combat machines. The thing is, newcomers are unfamiliar with the nuances of the local mechanics. Lately, I've been into battles with Leviathans, and almost every battle, random matchmaking throws incorrect anti-Leviathans onto my team. Some have cabins not protected by armor. Others carry weapons on the cabin. I think the owners of such designs are oblivious to the fact that the Leviathan, like other bots in Crossout, aims at the cabin's center, so the weapons mounted on the cabin can be torn off with the first volley. Such crafts aren't very useful for the team, as they're quickly destroyed or lose their weaponry. To be fair, it should be noted that the "Invasion" mode is one of the most dishonest modes in the game because everything works against the players. But that's okay; below are seven tips that will help you create an effective anti-Leviathan.

Weapons should be positioned high above the cabin

The Leviathan targets the center of the cabin, so it is unwise to position Osa in front, above, or on the edges of the cabin. Osa should be placed high above the cabin. This positioning not only makes them unreachable from enemy fire (except for Mandragora and grenade launchers) but also allows you to shoot at the Leviathan from cover (see screenshot 1). You can raise Osa above the cabin by installing them on a column or arch. Practice has shown that an arch serves better than a column as a support for Osa. When building the arch, you should follow four rules. Firstly, the columns of the arch should consist of gridded shootable parts (see screenshot 2). Secondly, the base of the arch columns should be covered with armor (see screenshot 3). Shootable parts receive less damage than armored parts; however, a couple of armored parts will make the base of your arch's columns even stronger. The other parts of the columns can be covered with narrow bumpers (see screenshot 4). Thirdly, the arch columns should be as far apart as possible (see screenshot 5). Fourthly, the arch columns should be placed on the cabin as far away from the front edge as possible (see screenshot 6). Osa are mounted on top of the arch. If there is extra energy, you can attach a scope as well; this will allow you to disable Leviathan weapons from a safe distance.

The front should be the most armored part of the craft

Since the anti-Leviathan on Osa is most often facing the enemy head-on, the most armored part should be the front. Make your anti-Leviathan a reinforced nose out of the most structurally robust armored parts. Additionally, combined armor is excellent for reinforcing the front. By combined armor, I mean armor in which the layer of armored parts alternates with a layer of shootable grids. Such armor is stronger than armor made from only panels and walls. Just keep in mind that grids should not be fixed onto armored parts; however, armored parts can and should be placed on grids. If a grid is secured onto an armored part, upon impact, the damage goes through the grid and tears off the armored part along with whatever is mounted on it. If you still decide to install an armored part behind the grid, leave a space of 1 cube between them (see screenshot 7).

Use ammo reserves

The Osa has only 16 rounds in its magazine. You can expand the magazine using various ammo reserves. A standard ammo reserve increases the number of rounds for all weapons by 30%. You should install at least 3 of these on your anti-Leviathan.

Explosive modules should be well protected

Explosive components: ammo and generators should be hidden under the cabin within a frame (see screenshot 8) - the safest place for explosive modules. If parts of explosive components stick out from the frame below, they must be covered on all sides with narrow armored parts, such as scavenger pipes (see screenshot 9).

Use large wheels and engines

The main difference between a Leviathan and other crafts is the number of weapons. A Leviathan has more guns than anyone else. It can have ten or more. You don't have to be an expert in Crossout to understand how destructive each volley from a Leviathan is. Clearly, in battle against such opponents, you need to take the most resilient crafts made from the most structurally robust parts. It seems that adding more high-structure armored parts to an anti-Leviathan will increase the battle machine's structure. However, it's not that simple. The matter is that high-structure armored parts increase not only the structure but also the mass of the craft. Wall by wall, and before you know it, you’ll reach overweight. Overweight is an anti-bonus that negatively impacts the speed and acceleration of the craft. To eliminate overweight, install engines and several pairs of large wheels - they can carry the most weight. You must install a pair or two pairs of steering (ST) wheels in front and behind, depending on the size and weight of the machine, and put non-steering wheels in the center. The engine should be either powerful or Mk2. A powerful engine is cheaper and consumes 1 unit of energy less, but Mk2 increases the reload speed of guns and rocket launchers by 20%. You can find out how much your craft is exceeding the permissible norm by hovering the mouse pointer over the "Mass" section in the craft's characteristics window (see screenshot 10).

Use large parts

Unfortunately, while realizing your engineering concept, you have to deal with several limitations that alter player crafts. One such limitation corrects the number of parts used for building a craft. The limit of parts depends on your level of development. At maximum level, you can use up to 80 parts to create a craft. If you think that is a lot, then you haven't faced the construction of heavy crafts. You need to select parts for the anti-Leviathan in such a way as to maximize the structure while exhausting the limit. After all, when facing the most dangerous machines in the game, you can never have too much structure, just like money. Therefore, remember once and for all: one large part is preferable to two small ones, as a large part usually has as much structure as two small ones but counts as one system. For instance, an 8\4 frame can easily replace two 4*4 frames, and a large panel can take the place of two small ones.*

The craft's frame should be large

The craft's frame is built from small frames. Each of the small frames has a certain number of structures that contribute to the total structure of the craft. In Crossout, armored parts are divided into two types. Parts of the first type add a certain amount of structure to the machine's life bar. Parts of the second type do not influence the craft's structure even though they have their own structure. The first type includes frames and most armor elements, while the second includes blades and various bumpers. Consequently, if you want your anti-Leviathan to be durable, you should build it on a broad frame consisting of many 8\4 and 6*4 frames.*
