Crossout is a free-to-play vehicular combat video game focused on building and driving custom vehicles in PvP and PvE scenarios.

The player can drive their own custom vehicle in multiplayer gamemodes in PvP battles, or against AI opponents in PvE modes.

The cars are fully destructible, weapons, armor and wheels can be knocked off, reducing the capabilities of the vehicle.

The frames form the chassis of the vehicle; the cabin, which also has a built-in engine, provides power and energy for modules and weapons; weapons deal damage and modules provide additional capabilities, such as faster reloading, bonus engine power, stealth, radar, etc.

Weapons are divided into melee (contact and ramming), short-range, medium-range and long-range, but some do not belong to these categories (like landmine and trap layers).

Other notable vehicles appearing in the game (usually in a form of a cabin and sometimes fitting armor parts) include Ford F-150 (7th gen), GAZelle, MAZ-7310, Volkswagen Type 2, etc.

The players can build a custom vehicle fitting their playstyle, with any weapons on any chassis, and tweak and upgrade it as they test it in battles and obtain better equipment.

When player sells a part, they receive an amount of coins the buyer spent minus market tax.

They have to progress through the story by completing sequential missions involving combat, deliveries, scouting, meeting NPC's, etc.

A free-for-all game mode with no objectives or rules, players are free to join and leave at any time.

A free-for-all arena mode where the players are equipped with a small vehicle and a railgun, and it takes exactly one shot to destroy an opponent.

Players are awarded different resources for participating in matches, which they can use to build more weapons and parts, or to trade for in-game currency via the market.
