Update 2.9.2 is coming and it is supposed to buff a bunch of weapons. Does is affect what you are going to upgrade? Which of the buffed weapons you are going to upgrade first ir as highest priority?
Purpose of this poll is to see, which weapons may get increased presence because of the buffs.

I am planning to build a Thunder/Punisher Lancelot, seems like a good idea to kill other shield bots and knock down Ancile shield for teammates.

I want the ability to give more than one answer... Too late, not going to redo the poll  I actually considered giving option to vote more than one choice, but decided this poll is better if voters have to decide what they think will be their highest priority, the first of these they'll add to their active hangar. Right or wrong decision, it is what it is now. |

I'm busy upgrading other things right now but when the buff releases I might upgrade the molot/tempest and punishers.

Orkans and Tarans are getting buffed as well. No reason to think they wont remain as the best weapons in the game.

hyderier when I first heard the rumors, much like the rumor about the buff for the Rogatka, I immediately began upgrading several of the weapons listed above. When the info dropped about 2.9.2 update I was already well on my way to completion for several weapons. Hi there, ?

Glad to hear you have some leadhoses ready for deployment, but as for you running Gekkos or Hydras? I will believe it when I see it! |

@heavypanda I got em' Yes they stay mainly in the warehouse. But I love to bring out my Leo Treb/Gekko build and harass those Fury Tridents/Zeus. And don't forget my Patton with 4 Spirals, should be a hoot to get that back in rotation, and, well too many to list.

I won't chase the carrot anymore. I'm happy with my current hangar and will make it work.

I'm testing a lvl 9 Lancelot with lvl 9 Mk.II Punishers and a lvl 7 Tempest. Only five matches so far, but it feels like a solid build already. The mixed ranges don't hurt. It's actually nice to have the opportunity to make some long range shots. Close range impact is promising and this thing sounds and looks awesome. Looking forward to the upcoming buff.

Orkans and Tarans are getting buffed as well. No reason to think they wont remain as the best weapons in the game. Still the gap narrows, or possibly is closed for Punisher Mk2: 25% for Pun vs 15% for Taran/Orkan, wasn't it, plus the shield shredding effect, plus 500m range against Anciles, so it won't be seen until on the battlefield if the meta shifts or not. Also Mags and Pinatas get only 5%. So any bots with both medium and light hardpoints, the total isn't so kind for PDB and DB. And then it becomes the question of mixing weapon types, or going all the way to new type. |

I've currently got 4 lvl 8 gekkos from my noob days when I thought it would be cool to have (I wish I could say I was drunk, but I was just ignorant). I'll just be upgrading those to see if the multiple recent buffs will make them worthwhile finally. I'm thinking I can have them all at lvl 10 or greater by the time the buff comes. BTW, upgrading these laser pointers is espensive! Lvl 9 is 4.1 mil Ag. This would be costly to max out. I imagine.

I rounded the corner on the moon map in my Leo and ran into a triple tempest fury. I didn't last long.

--Need to be able to pick more than one--
Already started leveling up Molots, Punishers and those light laser thingies..
Such as i did for the missile upgrade..
And i believe that is exactly what PIX wants.. as other weapon systems get upgraded, so does the revenue stream..
-just sayin..

I know this is a doom and gloom type response, and probably not even true anyways, but...
If the 2.9.2 update goes live as it's described in the recent post, I probably won't play War Robots that much anymore. Maybe I'm just having an optimistic viewpoint on my newfound freetime as a result of my hatred for what this update will do to the game.
Chances are I'll suck it up, adapt, and keep playing. One thing I'll stick to is, I'm going to wait and see. Not going to prepare for something I don't know for sure is coming. And we never know for sure until it actually goes live.

mijapi300 for me my last upgrade on iOS was the rumor about the buff for Rogatka, only needed to add a couple of levels to one and 4 or 5 to the others. So from my point of view it is kinda' nice to see the countdown timer again, even if for only a little while. At least I feel like I'm doing something, so I guess a psychological impact on me. Hmmm, that could be a bad thing. ? ?

dangit I've moved on from my main account and have been exclusively playing my new account during the event. So I have nothing over level 7 at the moment. Nice part about that is, it's easy to get anything up to level 7 to catch up quick, so I don't have to worry about preparing. It'll only take a couple of days to get caught up. That said, I'm still dreading the day this update goes live. That's so many things to change at once, I'd find it a long stretch that it actually has the intended effects without any unforeseen downside.

I already have Molots at L12 but I'll be acquiring more of them.
I don't like the contents of the 2.9.2 Update but I'd be foolish to put myself at a disadvantage.

Since the recents double Nerf on Punisher ROF and the next Buff on other Medium Alternative (Ork, Taran) I think that the 25% Buff won't be sufficient to make them competitive. They will still suffer for inflicting damage too slowly until they get to very short Range. Lancelot Speaking, Pun - Thunder will be still inferior to Ork Thunder and Molot - Tempest will outclass Pun - Tempest for Long range damage. Griffin Builds instead will suffer even more for the low durability

2-3 punisher Mk2s for Rog and Fujin use..more so the Rog. I might not turn out to be effective but jumping in, hosing and escaping a shield bot minus it's shield will be great fun. I want to see how many I can sandblast without killing with one Rog.

I'm upgrading punishers for an ancilot, but just for fun.
Had some success hammering down anciles and furys from distance, and taking out ppl who didnt respect the face to face firepower, but ppl will adapt fast to that.
I think if something makes it into the meta, its gonna be molot/tempest.
