I am a pretty new player that has been playing for almost two weeks on FB Gameroom and so far all of my bots and weapons have been bought using Ag (silver). I have so far saved up 800 green keys so I shouldn't have an issue getting to at least 1000 before the current black market event ends. Honestly I would be happy with winning some gold or any bots or weapons that I can't buy with silver. Based on this information would you open multiple silver chests or one gold chest?
Thank you for your quality advice in advance.
Semper Fi!

I'm in a similar position to you in my new FB account. It has been discussed previously in the forum that the best way to earn something from chests (if you're not paying for keys), is to wait for the reset of the black market. It will open chests for all the keys you have. If you have for example 1230 keys, it will open one gold, two silver and three bronze chests.
That way, you will not win keys, which typically are less than what you spent for a spin. If you let the game spin for chests it is a lot more likely to get gold, which, arguably, is invaluable for someone just starting.

^^^ This. But then on the flip side, you won't get the sheer excitement of seeing the scrolling bar and yelling: "stop, stop, stop, no don't stop"...uh, there's a dirty joke in there somewhere...oops.

I was wondering if as a new player that still has not purchased their first gold weapon, bot or 5th slot if it might not be better to take multiple spins with hopes of winning multiple weapon/bots vs just one shot at it.

Ok, I see. Honestly I don't know if it is better to spin ten silver ones or one gold. From what I've read around here, one gold chest seems more valuable than ten silver ones but ultimately it's down to luck only. The chance to get something useful may be higher in a gold chest, but I wouldn't rely too much on it.
I've opened one gold chest and it gave me a Gekko. I've opened dozens of silver chests and i got three more and a total of maybe 1000 Au. So, I've stopped caring about chests alltogether and consider it only as bonus for playing some games.
To answer your question i would still wait for the BM's season to end. Also, I wouldn't keep my keys to, say 999, only to spin more chests, because you are guaranteed exactly nothing.

Unfortunately, there isn't really a "better" option. You may score a 5k Au prize out of the Gold chest, or you could get an Aphid or an Orkan. (not bad... but... ) Also, by the same token, you also may get a good prize from the Silver chests. Overall, it's a gamble. Neither are great odds, but... whadaya gonna do? If it were me in your situation, I would either do all Silver or mostly silver (7-8) and whatever else is left I would put in Bronze chests. It allows for a good bit of chances per chest for some of the stuff you may not have that us old vets take for granted (For instance... If I get one more Lance, I'm gonna play Frisbee with my tablet... just sayin'.) Now, I am NOT saying that this is the BEST way to go... but just that it is what I would do on a new account. But again, you may roll that Gold chest and end up with a K-Bot... Ya just never know... (This prolly doesn't help much... sorry! ) IMO, YMMV

I'd spin silver chests or wait for BM to close.

Actually in thinking about this it isn't like this is a one time make or break shot as the BM just resets at the end and then goes again right? So I think taking a shot with a gold chest every 2 weeks is the better long term option. Personally I would LOVE to get 5000 Au as it would allow me the fifth slot and I could then buy orkans with what I have saved up so far. I will heed the advice above and wait for the BM to close and see what I get.

Oh...now that is new news there! What ended up happening with the keys that you won? Were they of the next color that BM was starting the next session with?

I've opened a lot of silver chests. My last 10 prizes: -Ancile -110 Keys -70 Au -40 Au -60 Keys -40 Keys -300.000Ag -Hydra -Taran -Golem
It's true, that if you win keys, you probably win less than 100 (10,40 or 60), sometimes 110, hardly ever 200. It's possible to get 400, but it never happened to me. If you win gold, it'll be probably around 30-40. There is also a lot of silver stuff, which is worthless.
But whatever you do, opening 100 bronze chests would be very very stupid. You literally always win some junk, like 5000Ag or 1 key.

I was wondering if as a new player that still has not purchased their first gold weapon, bot or 5th slot if it might not be better to take multiple spins with hopes of winning multiple weapon/bots vs just one shot at it.
Honestly, I don't think any one piece of advice is better than another. It's pretty random, when you're lucky you're lucky, when you're not you're not. My first 1000 keys I opened a gold chest, won 500 keys. Boo, instant regret. At least 10 silvers would have been more fun and anticipation from each roll. Towards the end of the black market event, I decided to follow the 'wait it out' advice. I ended up with less than exciting results, and found myself wishing I had rolled instead. This is what I got: In the end, the decision comes down to what kind of a gambler are you? If you like craps, go for the gold chest and/or wait it out. If you like penny slots, roll silver chests. In case it wasn't obvious, I like penny slots. ?

Went for 1 gold chest in Gamesroom few hours ago, got Alphid. I think it is better to go for gold chest if you need a lot of Au items.

Silver chests mostly contain small amounts of keys and silver. Only a third of them contain gold, and I think the chance to get something other than gold, keys and silver is below 10%. I spun 45 silver keys and got a total of 1 Fujin and 1 Doc, plus keys, some gold and silver. But gold was less than I got on average from my gold chests, I think ~600 gold from opening 30 silver chests (when I did bookkeeping, I estimate 15 more chests after that). Except for the doc these keys were simply wasted. And I do think about buying some extra keys to get to a gold chest on my fb account, where I will probably end up around 700 keys.

There is an excellent way to spend you BM keys! If you're a big War Robots and have a better half, the chances are they occasionally get the hell in with you about the time you put into the game. I've found that getting my missus to open them buys me a lot of extra play time!
"Have you got enough keys for another chest yet?" "No, 17 short baby." "How many games is that?" "I dunno, maybe 4 or 5" (hehe) "Ok maybe you can play some more after dinner."... "Sure babe, I'll try get a few more games in."

Now that I got only crap for my chests, I stopped thinking about those though.

So finally reached 1000 keys last night and opened a gold chest....1000 gold inside. For a new player like me that was ok. Not great, but ok. No complaints as it was basically a free gift for playing a game that I am enjoying for the most part.

I tried out all-Silver chests in the first event, then all-Bronze in this one. With the lone exception of rolling 1000 gold from a Bronze chest, it's been complete junk dominated by paltry amounts of keys. The next time, I'm going to follow @tinthefiend's advice and hold my keys from the beginning to see what happens at the very end. It'll be killer to hold out, but I've tried the other options and been unimpressed.

It'll be killer to hold out, but I've tried the other options and been unimpressed. At playing 2 hours a day a player with average results will barely (and I mean BARELY) eek out a single Gold chest in a 2 week period. Spinning the wheel hoping for more spins is kinda trash with anything except the Gold chest (which can still screw you with 500-900 Key prizes). It is physically impossible to get the super chest by grinding. One would have to grind out several Gold chests and then get lucky enough to get back enough keys to roll the 8 total Gold Chests it takes to open the super chest. With an average of 3 keys a game, at 8 minutes a game, thats 333 hours worth of grinding for 7500 keys. There are only 336 hours in 14 days.

I have no illusions of getting a super chest. I doubt I'd get a gold chest, either.
I just figure that what I've tried hasn't borne much fruit so I might as well just hold off until the very end and let the system auto-roll for me.

I'd say open Silver chests for your first time rolling BM. Open one silver first, and then open another 9 at one go. You might just land on some decent bots or weapons at least. Just my opinion, because if you're gonna open a gold chest, and IF you're unlucky enough to just get a silver payout... there goes your keys..

So I let the BM green key session end and let it roll the 400 keys I had sitting there. I won a total of 505,000 silver and 9 gold...no keys.
