  Here is most of the building tips mentioned within the video: <br> <br>Where to put modules <br> <br>Modules tend to be put behind the cabin, as they are less critical, but should still be guarded. Radios, and other small modules, can be hidden with the fuel barrels as makeshift armor and space efficiency. <br> <br><br><br>How to mount your frames <br> <br>You don&apos;t need to have a dense network of frames under your car. Attached by one point is better than 5 points. This means you can space them out under your cabin, allowing you to use less frames, and even hiding some parts. You have different width and lengths, so try out a frame design and see what is durable enough for you while offering good hiding place. You could try an &apos;O&apos; formation with frames, with your cabin making contact with multiple frames, giving you a large storage area! <br> <br> <br>How to guard your guns and where to mount them <br> <br>All weapons need armor. Doesn&apos;t matter their durability, as many guns can pump out a lot of damage. So building to guard while keeping firing angles intact is a balancing act. Best way to guard is by hiding the base of weapons behind armor/cabin. Padding up the sides helps a lot, especially with limited angle guns. For example, adding armor to the back of Avenger cannons, which have a very limited firing angle, can bolster their survival chances! Frames are a good way to guard the base of rotating guns, as they fit snugly and don&apos;t tend to obscure the gun. Trying out big wheels in the back is another way to help increase firing angles, while still providing armor the guns. Try guarding your guns and then testing them. If the firing angles are workable and your guns survive longer, it&apos;s worth to use. <br> <br> <br>How to mount your fuel barrels <br> <br>Best place to mount fuel is under the cabin of your ride! It&apos;s out of the way from most gun fire, allowing you to better focus on the fight. Behind the cabin is also another good choice, as the location is still out of the way and you can armor it more. However, it is in a more shot location, so you may see it &apos;pop&apos; more often. <br> <br> <br>How to manage weight/tonnage <br> <br>Cars have a certain amount of power. Light cars have little, while heavy cars tend to have a lot. Movement parts, such as wheels consume that power. In exchange, they provide tonnage, and a way to move. Tonnage, is essentially how much you can push. Go over your tonnage, your car will begin to slow down and will have a lower max speed. Balancing out your weight is important, especially if you plan on moving fast. Make sure your wheels can push you, but not so much as to consume all your power and make you slow. <br> <br> <br>Adding redundancy <br> <br>Parts will be blown off during combat, it&apos;s a fact. So to help mitigate that and prevent large chunks of a car from disappearing, it&apos;s good to place weapons, modules, or others on multiple parts. For example, guns could be placed onto two or more buggy parts, allowing them to stay on even if one becomes destroyed! Having spare wheels is also good, as they can allow you to keep moving even if you lost a few. Balance out the load of the car with the wheels, and you should still be able to move! <br> <br> <br>How to manage power score <br> <br>Power score is essentially your ranking for your car. If your car has a lot of stuff, it will be more powerful and ranked higher. This means you need to make sure your car is balanced for it&apos;s power. Heavy armor, but only have two machine guns? May either want to add some more, or try to lessen your armor. Too little firepower could make you just a bullet shield, while having too much may put you in too high of ranks for your armor. Try adding or lessening armor, reducing or increasing firepower, or consider lessening the quality of parts, to help reach an optimal power score! <br> <br> <br>Where to mount your cabin <br> <br>Most of the time, you will be placing your cabin in the front, exposed, and maybe with a gun. However, consider if that&apos;s really needed. Cabins cab be placed in the back with weapons, such as Little Boys, out front to allow for better firing angles, as well as use them for armor. Cabins are the heart of your build after all! However, weapons you use may be weak, and need a great deal of armoring. In that case, placing the cabin up front with guns in the back can allow you to see longer periods of combat effectiveness. <br> <br> <br>Differences in PvP cars and PvE Cars <br> <br>Main difference is that PvE cars do not need a fuel barrels, as they cannot earn any from PvE missions. Getting rid of them also gives you more Power Score and weight to work with, while reducing the chance of reenacting Nagasaki. You can also try building a tower away from your cabin. Towers are useful since bots only try to got for the cabin and it allows you to shoot over allies! This is usually not done in PvP since that is an easy target to disarm you. <br> <br> <br>Small tips: <br> <br>Pressing &apos;O&apos; while using a spray can will paint the whole car <br> <br>Holding &apos;Ctrl&apos; while left clicking a part will duplicate the part from your storage, assuming you have the part.

  Great video, I already know how to build, but I mostly like using a sniper build with cannons in the front an cab in the back. I didn&apos;t know how to make different types of builds. Thank you, keep up the good work.

  My tips:<br>First of all you have to know as new player you will be in disadvantage of you try to rush through the content. PS matchmaking is easy to abuse by veteran players who will use just few Special/Epic parts that are much better than their Common/Rare counterparts and queue in around 2500-4000 PS with Epic weapons that strip your Chords in few hits. There are also specific armor parts that are much better than your starter parts, mostly from Scavangers and their richer wolfie cousins, so don&apos;t try to make your build too tanky. Make it cheap and simple, 2000 PS max. The more you put on your car, the harder it is to fight seal clubbers who use every single PS you have and turn it in their advantage. Some combat tips - prioritize shooting guns above all else. After guns are removed, focus on their wheels (if they have a lot HP) or cabin (if they don&apos;t).<br><br>You&apos;ll get a choice to join faction at some point. All have some benefits you want to get sooner or later. Engineers have Fuel tank, that should be your 1st priority. Put both types of fuel tank under your car and farm resources. If you want decent armor and those big tractor wheels, choose Scavangers. If you want better machine gun (Vector), upgraded Medium wheels (Racer wheels) or upgraded radar go for Nomads. Lastly if you have all of those things go for Growl cabin from Lunatics and stick with them for some time to get their lightweight parts which are pretty unique compared to other factions. Most of the factions have heavy armor that weights a lot, Lunatic parts are one of the few that support quick hit &amp; run vehicles, at least in your first year of playing.<br><br>After all that your aim is to build +4000 PS vehicle for PvE raids for Plastic which is going to be your best source of income for a long time. Buy fuel for cheap, do Plastic raids, sell 100 units for +30 coins and if you need other stuff for crafting, buy it from market just like fuel, don&apos;t waste time farming any of it. Scrap metal, Copper, Electronics, Batteries, Common parts for recipes are very very cheap compared to plastic. Use the coins you got from plastic raids to buy every other resource you need. <br><br>Also learn how to trade on market. Set demand on what you want for the lowest price. Set your price at +0,01 coin to be first order and wait. If it&apos;s item that gets traded a lot or you are going afk for hours, you could put it few 0,01 coin behind the highest order, it will take longer, maybe a day or two, but it&apos;s a way to save yourself some coins in a long run. It won&apos;t seem like much now, but eventually you&apos;ll start trading more expensive items and then you&apos;ll save not just few cents but hundreds of coins.<br><br>Also remember the game is huge grindfest. You&apos;ll have to grind for exp, for coins, for completing weekly quests, basically as a new player it is 80% grinding and 20% enjoying the new stuff. At some point you make your ideal build at somewhere around 3000-5000 PS and it gets a lot more fun from there as you have the core of good rare/special things you can use on any future builds with just few adjustments. It gets a lot more fun once you get all the parts to mitigate the advantage of seal clubbers.
