For me what broke the camels back is - 3 battle passes going on at the same time. I thought it's ridiculous that Mobile crossout released, and had 2 paid battle passes going at the same time. Sure, it's not irredeemable, and I play from time to time. But I abandoned any hope of keeping up with the game. (crafting a single yellow item is 1-2 months job, last time I calculated)
I'm just gonna list the things, brace yourselves. Also I have been playing for 5 years. Occasional server issues. Intentionally designed toxic player base. Brawls or events that suck and draw resources from making meaningful changes or content. The grind. Very poor matchmaking. The dumb imaginary bonuses or buffs items will have, like doing more damage while drifting in a specific cab. The extremely repetitive missions and maps. The fact you can't get uranium to craft relic weapons because you need a clan and/or fight meta players. The fact that relic weapons cost 30,000 coins which crossout decided is worth 500 actual dollars, give or take. The dumb 10% tax on the market. Charging 35$ for a battle pass that you can't complete without spending another 50$. The fear of missing out on a battle pass because instead of making a new faction that you buy and can now craft the new stuff, they only give you some of the new stuff and allow you to craft those items for a limited time which also creates a false and slightly scares economy for those items after the pass is over. The inclusion of a mini battle pass that does the same thing but tries to mitigate the previous issue without actually fixing it while greedily profiting off of the situation. The greedy premium access that paywalls half of the resources from missions. The game is too expensive. After a while you've already did everything but some can never get the end game equipment and loot, which is exactly how they designed it. I will admit that in some places they did a good job. It was said in the video, some people just have a really really good build that probably took weeks or longer to perfect. It rewards the skilled and dedicated players but it does need to be a little more forgiving to others. You can build just about whatever you want. It is a genuinely fun game that needs to be carefully monitored and changed to not exploit the player but instead offer value for value(money).

I'm still having fun for the most part, perception is reality am i right? 😅
Shorten the fucking grind!
yup
No one likes the grind and it’s horrible in this game, plus all the battle passes…
The game is dying cause they keep pushing away the last remnants of the playerbase who stuck with it despite the grind. Terrible balance is to blame.
Pay to win or become cannon fodder for the richer,play and don't pay you get to lose your soul and life over and over.😂
