seeing recent posts, maybe we need a depository of "mysteries in War Robots" 1. who gets the 5Au "most beacon capped" reward when there are multiple draws? war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/post/222056/threadthis has been discussed and tested, and the general consensus, I think, is that it's random. but there are people who believes / feels otherwise, 2. how the silver reward after the battle calculated? war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/post/222024/threadI think this is a true mystery. none yet solved this equation. I doubt whether Pix dev knows either, what else? ... other minor mysteries include: - why a Rhino cannot rush once the shield is broken, although obviously he is lighter? - why an Inquisitor can do stealth only when it is jumping, does it need the sky background to camouflage itself? ... EDIT: many of mysteries can be in categorized as "War Robots defies laws of physics". here are some of them so far, curated in one post: war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/post/222701 |

- Why does an enemy full-life Fury emit a white colored smoke off its back sometimes in which there are lines like rays of the sun
- What is behind the giant doors on Canyon? If you ever see me there shooting the doors excessively, now you know I’m trying to break in

Why are people shooting at me while I kill them?
All I'm doing is putting them out of their misery.

Why do the spider bots scoop up other teammates in their arms like a baby along their way?
Why do Punisher wielders try to shoot down an enemy 800m away?
Why is there no water by the beach in Powerplant?
Why does the d-pad stop responding at the most awkward times?

Why is steam coming out of numerous vents on Canyon? What are they cooking down there? I'm hungry.

Why does that rhino always beat me to the beacon, even though I'm faster?

Why does a company making millions of dollars not invest in more servers? Why does it seem that the servers that they currently have are some of the slowest in the civilized world?

Like why do my trebs fail to do damage half the time during kill tasks? And why can't they be fully charged when I spawn? (very disappointing when we are about to be spawn raided, it's like going into battle very unprepared). Why does my butch sometimes fire the second set of trebs into the ground below the enemy and completely miss?

Why when I shoot at the red (despite being in range) it does not get any hit, and it can hit me back? Also why when I press the shoot button sometimes it gets stuck and doesn't shoot?  |

What I want to know. What I really, really wanna know (Don't go there), is why the snipers are always on the red team. I invariably spawn on a team with maybe one or two snipers, but the other team almost always has at least one quad Treb Butch and/or a tri Zeus Fury, and usually more. It almost never fails. I'm working on the Trebuchet task which requires wins, and I've won exactly one battle in over a dozen tries. This one aint gonna be easy. I've only got 51 more victories to achieve to get the treb, and according to FlashAhAhh's spreadsheet, I'm already behind, and not on track to complete the tasks in time. |

Actually, I know the answer to both of those: ΒΣRΖΣRKΛ²³ is getting a fantastic ROI on the money he funneled to Pixonic for a few......let's call them "special favors." |

Umm, is there a refund request for War Robots?  Starting from now I will try my best to boycott Pixonic (hopefully I don't get those 500 gold offers for $0.99)  |

I've only got 51 more victories to achieve to get the treb, and according to FlashAhAhh 's spreadsheet, I'm already behind, and not on track to complete the tasks in time. I think this one is somewhat explainable. it's because you are not running a sniper. when chances of a random pilot running sniper is PS, the red has 6 x PS chance having at least one sniper among them, while the blue has 5 x PS chance since one spot has been already filled with a non-sniper. but I feel having more snipers in enemy team is not a bad thing, as long as you have some shielded bots (Rhino, Galahad, etc). I more often lose a game when the blue has more snipers (e.g. four blue Treb bots at the spawn in Canyon Domination...) than the other way around... good luck with winning  I think it helps a bit (just a bit), to play Domination during the prime times (e.g. evening and early night) and Beacon Rush during non-prime (morning and afternoon on a weekday). |

Thanks for the advice on playing which mode at certain times. As for not having snipers, I don't have the patience for them. I have three Trebs - two that I've won in events - that I never leveled passed 6, a Kang Dae that I won in a BM spin at level 5, and a whole stack of Nashorns that I don't use. I thought about taking some of them up to level 6 for the 6 pack league if I ever join in, but other than that, I've spent most of my time leveling brawlers and midrangers. Perhaps a flaw in my strategy? Even with my soon to be complete second hangar, I don't usually spawn midrangers on maps that have walls and barriers such as DC. Perhaps another flaw in my strategy. |

Why do Punisher wielders try to shoot down an enemy 800m away? What happens to Punisher bullets when they reach 500m? Are there wormhole exits being created in some distant galaxy where an alien race keeps getting massacred by bullets from nowhere? How has that affected the alien culture, and what will happen if they learn how to send ordnance back through the wormholes? |

Why does the enemies rocket clips last longer than me like infinite ammo.
Why is it when I'm about to fire my Zeus fury at a tasty target it changes direction and fires at a wall
Why is a gareth stronger than most bots
Why does the enemy always have the perfect bot set up and run the perfect strategy while my team are a bunch of disabled potatoes

I did not tell you this. Now, just leave and don't look back, lad. Lol, I had no idea that was what was happening there. Fortunately BoT engaged their tractor beam already. Sucked me right out of my Lance and dropped me into a Bully. Luckily though, since I enjoy War Robots too, I’ve been able to use the onboard psyborg neck plug-ins to pilot in War Robots via data transfer. The navigation starts as remote viewing, but transfers to complete embodiment eventually. Damn lag! |

Why my robots can walk through an enemy robot which is just moment ago destroyed ?
Why robots never trip to anything while walking/running ?
Why robots always lands to it's legs after jump or when falling to ground from a higher level ?

It's not just the Punisher ammo that goes through those wormholes. It's all kinds of ammunition from every bot that fires and is destroyed before it hits that is the problem. |

I would add these: Where do robots store all the rocket, missile, and bullet cartridges. Do they synthesize them out of thin air during the "re-load" time? (let's not even start about "How all of these weapons distinguish friends and enemies, and only harm the red?") hmm, I better continue griding rather than wondering about these, but I just cannot help, |

Isn't that why they sent shocktrains through the wormhole, to prevent anyone from firing anything else at all? |

How has that affected the alien culture, and what will happen if they learn how to send ordnance back through the wormholes? They are made of a rare combination of butter and ice (well at least, that is what I can tell for the damage I do with them), programmed to melt at that exact distance. Similar to molots. They just melt, specially in canyon, powerplant and dreadnought. In colder maps you can still see the butter drops all over the place. |
