1. The 90% Shoot-Through Grille Rule for Weapon Mounts
In [Crossout](https://bywiola.com/g/kx0oz4uidy4a1fb2bafce03277ede5/), mounting your machine guns, shotguns, or autocannons onto standard structural armor plates is fatal: an enemy burst will destroy the 20-HP plate beneath your gun, causing your intact weapon to fall onto the ground immediately. Always weld weapons directly onto your Cabin, Chassis Frames, or specialized "90% Damage Pass-Through" grille parts (Buggy Floor, Gun Mount, Elbow).
2. Under-Frame Generator & Fuel Tank Shielding
Generators, Ammo Packs, and Fuel Barrels explode violently when destroyed, dealing massive internal blast damage to your cabin. Never bolt explosive modules onto your roof or rear bumper. Instead, leave a hollow gap between Lightweight Chassis Frames directly underneath your cabin and mount your Generator and Fuel Barrels inside the frame rails between your wheel axles.
3. Power Score (PS) Bracket Optimization
Every part welded to your vehicle increases its Power Score (PS). Keep your weapon rarity equal to or one tier higher than your cabin and movement hardware. A lean 4,999 PS rig carrying three Special/Epic machine guns on a Rare cabin will shred an over-armored 7,000 PS truck still firing starter chords.
4. Building a PvE Raid Tower for Plastic & Coin Farming
In cooperative PvE Raids, AI enemies are coded to aim strictly at your Cabin center of mass. Construct a vertical grille tower 6 to 8 pins above your cabin roof and mount four rapid-fire machine guns on top. AI raiders will fire into your heavily armored lower bumper while your elevated guns strip their weapons untouched.
