I am part of the Line chat 6/6 iOS League, where we mostly meet there to play pick up games for fun and practice anytime we want. Now tonight our EZ Reapers also played in the 6 Pack League January iOS Tournament coordinated by Rockwelder. We had a total blast once again. Matches are so even leveled, fun, and exciting. They come to the wire so many times. Almost every match is video record YouTube worthy. Basically, the 6 Pack League and 6/6 leagues have brought the fun and fairness back to War Robots and are one of the few reasons why I haven’t quit the game the last few months. Without it I would have hung up my main hangar in the fall. This keeps me around for sure. If you haven’t yet joined the 6 Pack League on Discord (iOS and droid), or the 6/6 iOS League on Line Chat you are missing out. Come join anytime! Watching zaggro play in that was bitter sweet. He was really good and seemed to be in every critical situation with the perfect bot perfectly positioned. He'll be missed by the Mongrels.
I read the middle game last night against Red Squadron was amazing. Did you get footage of that bagofsoup ?
Hey my friend, yes I still have that match saved. I thought about uploading it to YouTube but haven’t yet. Mostly because I spent half the match in an RDB Griffin on the back side of the Yama bridge protecting center beacon. I will rewatch it and see if my angle of things was exciting enough, but it was truly a close and awesome match that literally came down to the wire! Another note: we lost to PLAG last night in 3 straight battles, even lost to a fourth battle right after just for fun. They clearly beat us and are really good as a team. But the point is that we still had a lot of fun and the hangars were completely even, so we couldn’t say, “Oh, they were just higher leveled than us, or had multi hangars, or paid for or grinded component bots and weapons.” It was fair and square. They just really know their stuff and play well as a team on each map. But that fairness is what makes the 6 Pack League and 6/6 League so much fun!

I will add my two cents about 6/6. A lot of good has been said about how fun it is. Words like “fair”, “balanced” , “affordable” have also been used. In my opinion, all 100% true. What has not been mentionned enough is the high level of play you meet, the razor tight finishes where your actions have a real influence on the outcome of the game and the teaching possibilities of such a format. A bit more about that.
High level of play: you will regularly face squads of pilots that are better than you, as individuals and as teams. Squads with clear game plans, the brawn and the brains to get it done. Even if you are a very good pilot, you will face some of the toughest games you can imagine in 6/6. Do not be fooled by the level 6 cap put on gear. Pilots know how to squeeze every last ounce of robofluid out of that gear.
Close finish: games will be mostly with good old back and forth in beacon count and beacon bar. Some wont for sure but you will face more nailbiters than in regular play and no 3min games. Games are competitive on the good side of the meaning, with regular display of clear sportsmanship from participants.
Teaching: wiki has a strong teaching fiber. When the 6 pack started, wiki took some less experienced pilots to war against top squads. We mostly lost but our pilots were hooked and wanted to get better and learn. We organized some 6/6 practice and now those pilots are climbing the ranks in regular play because of the improvement to thier skills and awareness.
I enjoy 6/6. I know a lot of pilots who enjoy it too. I could keep trying to convince you with an extra 1000 words. i won’t. I will use only two more.
Try it.

Door opens, look of astonishment on their faces, someone says “Aaallll Geps!?!” Guitar Guy, filthy from workin hard on his babies, turns and says:

One of the most fabulous posts I've ever read on this forum. That is EXACTLY what it means to be Wiki, as it relates to 6 Pack or not. Android side needs to step its game up...

got line set up.
Question though, can you run line on the same device you're using for playing the game?

All geps is interesting....but I garantee the hangar will evolve. Hes kidding. Actually, all my light weapons are maxed for the most part so If i run a gepard, it will only be one. Right now I have a DB griffin, And RDB Griffin and plasma Rog and a Kang Dae Fury set up for 6/6. I plan on getting at least one shield bot in the mix. Maybe a lance...

Mk2 weapons are allowed ? Unfortunately most of my weapons are lvl 8+ but I can mk2 some lvl 12mk1 weap to mk2 lvl 4 ( would do almost same damage as mk1 lvl 6 ,little more). Have tons of silver but let’s just say it takes too much time to make one whole setup from scratch :/ unless you are lucky enough to have 6/6 weap or bot.

Mk2 weapons are not allowed as far as I am aware. And if you have tons of silver making a 6 Pack hangar is really pretty easy and only takes a couple of weeks...sprinkle in some gold if you want to swag it up a little. (swag: rogs and orkans ?)

That would kill the whole spirit of what they are trying to do. just stock level 6 stuff is allowed and nothing that cost components.

What GuitarGuy and Gilded Wolf said is correct. No MK2 anything is allowed. Only level 6 or below mechs or weapons and nothing component-based is allowed.

Just checked ...I got all of the wp bot from event which aren’t lvled up yet or are below lvl 6.Also have a lvl4 rog ,Garry . Guess I won’t have to spend much . But don’t have spare tarans or orks which aren’t lvled up yet. Guess I’ll join up soon. Also don’t have much gold yet ,have only 400 gold left so can’t speed up much. See you soon in the battlefield

Gunship Griffin/Rhino, Bullethose Griffin, Leos, RDB, Brits are all quite viable.

Yup I am against mk2 weapons too, but a mk2 lvl 4 does same damage as mk1 lvl6 ( little more). Also incase if in future if I’ll or any one leaves the leaugue ( mostly no one would but just saying ) lveling up mk2 weapon is more beneficial than mk1. But overall I don’t mind either way as time required would be almost same for both and I am pretty sure that I won’t be leaving it once I join it unless I quit War Robots .

See you soon in the battlefield No need to speed up upgrades. They are quite short. Couple of days and you’re competitive, couple of weeks and you have some choices. Couple of months and you can field three different hangars and have some fun rotating less often used setups.

For those of you still on the fence about 6-pack, check out this video of the iOS finals between ΛNNlHlLΛTRlX PLAG and the Mongrels (humbly lead by yours truly). It was great fun to play in and also great fun to watch! (Be warned though if kids are in the room, BDM and her crew can make a sailor blush with their language...and I think they were trying to tone it down too)

(ahhh, 12 year old humor...does it ever get old?)
If you think that's fun, you should hear my clanmates' distinct uncomfortability when they say my name over comms during our matches. The below actually happened last night. Note: My name IRL isn't Jack or any facsimile thereof. Makes it even funnier that I have an account called 6 pack jack. Would you like to borrow it?

It's helpful if you have discord, as the 2 main portals that organize games for both iOS and Android use discord extensively. This is the Fight Club server, that has a dedicated iOS contingent who have a very organized schedule for pick up matches: discord.gg/UFAG9MmAnd this is the 6 Pack League server proper, where the league conducts tournament play across all platforms (including Amazon and FBGR): discord.gg/FjUTqrzBoth will help you find 6/6 matches and people who are happy to steer you toward what works for you.

This sounds great, I'm so sick of lametrains in Diamond.
Can someone that plays iOS 6/6 PM me to give me some info on how Discord/etc. work? I'm ok at War Robots, just not the internet of things.
It'll take me some time to get my stuff up to 6 again, but totally want in.
Later

I just got my second hanger and its full of level 6 stuff - 3 griffs, a Furry and a Rog. Ready to battle. I've downloaded Discord and Line onto my ipad pro and joined the groups. Now I just need to know how to find a group/clan/squad ( I don't know) to join. I would really like to try some informal drop in matches to see if its a fit first and to work out the kinks etiquette etc. But I don't know how to find anyone to connect/match with to try it out. Can someone help? Plz.
