I know I'm not the only one wondering about repair costs. I just had a BR game (on FB GR) that was over really quickly, I started in an Orkan Kumiho. As it was severely damaged, I ejected with less than 10% of my HP left, but I still had both weapons. On the next bot the game was won and it wasn't damaged. My repair costs were a plain and simple zero, nil, nothing, null.
I remember one other guy remarking that his repair costs were low when he ejected out of his bots. So my current theory is: Repair costs depend only on the weapons destroyed, not on the robots. If you eject with all weapons intact, you pay nothing.
Sounds reasonable?

That’s an interesting hypothesis, now it just needs an experiment.

I'm writing down some repair costs and which robots were destroyed. It's also possible that a robot does contribute to repair cost, but only if it is destroyed and not ejected from. So to get some baseline I won't eject for a few games, just note wich robots were destroyed.
I'm also pretty sure that repair costs do depend on win or loss, that is, in a loss repair costs are less. I have 5 robots that are all roughly at level 9. If I win and 3 robots are destroyed, repair costs are around 120k. If I lose and all 5 robots are destroyed (not ejected), repair costs are the same.

I have tried it many times and yes mostly it is as you said,however if battle is intense or let’s say even if you dodge enemy most of the times in a knife fight you can’t eject unless you can hide ssomewhere , now if you are a caper,sniper or mid ranger it could be possible depending upon situation , however sometimes with that much hp left and both slots of kumiho you can take out half of griffin health if played skillfully.so for knife fighters ejecting it is not much useful if you got all slots left .
As for your theory I do it most of the time when my mid is highly damaged and have noticed decrease in repair cost many times and have used it many times for grinding silver
To be honest as very few peeps knew I thought it was a glitch and used it for almost every match and even if by small amount silver started gathering and premium helped too and now I am sitting at a pile of 910 mil silver although I don’t eject now mostly unless some hydrouche or mid ranger is annoying me. I’ll really advise to use if anyone is low on silver

OK, just played a battle and intended to eject before any bot lost its weapon. My hangar wasn’t suited to this intention, all brawlers except for a Zeus Fury, but I lucked out with Springfield to drive the Fury. I knew the Fury loses weapons early but it was doing so good I held onto it until 1 Zeus popped off.  Rats, experiment ruined. I ejected from the Fury at that point anyways for a plasma ancilot and completed the battle in it without losing any hard points and maybe losing half hp (lost my physical shields), and we won. Surprisingly repair costs were 0. I lost a Zeus though. The hypothesis needs refinement. |

Not as east as it sounds.
I tried 6 times before it worked.
Either I was getting weps blown off or killed outright.
Last battle I managed to punch out of 5 bots with no weapon losses, that were between 50 and 75% damaged.
Repair cost?
Zero.
It may also have something to do with not being killed. Might try some more experimentation tomorrow.
