It is always a good idea to spend some real money on a game you love. (You do want Pixo to make profit, right? Otherwise no more War Robots. It doesn't have to be big money. Some currency from Google can even be acquired for free by using stuff like google opinion rewards or stuff like this.)
Assuming you invest the value of two Starbucks coffees or half a visit to the movies ($10), you'll get that welcome package with a Pinata Gepard and 750 AU or something, plus that monthly deal that pays 60 gold a day for a month. Then the 5th slot is really not a problem: Levelling up to 30 gives you 1550 AU (you start with 100 IIRC and have 29 level promotions). The monthly deal gives you 1800 AU. Adding that 750 AU, you're already up to 4100 AU, or 3100 AU towards that 5th slot. 60 gold from daily missions, that missing 1900 gold can be acquired in less than 30 days.

You may also be forced to do particular things by your compatriots. I was in shenzhen with a DB griffin. Started the game and was heading down the side to flank their home beacon. A plasma leo beside me gets to the halfway point and turns off towards centre beacon. I am 'not' going to leave a compatriot hanging in that situation, no matter how foolhardy. Boy, talk about a bad example There is no Lemming rule. If a blue player commits suicide, there's no need for you to do the same. At the start of the game, getting that center beacon on Shenzen means sacrificing a robot. You made that a sacrifice of 2 robots, and sacrificed your robot for nothing - that Leo got the beacon, you should have moved into position to defend that beacon from cover in case a red tries to retake it.

I am really confused about that. I have 1,2k gold and don't have any of theese bots and weapons. How should i spend my gold? I have a plasmahad and magnum-taran griffin on my hangar bay the way. All in all, for the time being I would say, sit on the gold and don't spend it. Pix is pushing the game through some rough (not exactly well planned) changes and the mechanics / meta change greatly and will do so in next updates I guess. Maybe once dust settles, there'll be a clearer picture on what to invest in. The Gareth will be most likely nerfed, while Orkans may loose their shine once blob guns and hopping bot join the circus. Bottom line is - I'm in a similar position now and I decided to hold the Au expenses for now. Use silver and upgrade what you can instead, get RDB Griff, etc...

There are no new robots or weapons in todays upgrade. So I figure we have a month to collect for new stuff if we spend everything now

I got 2 orkans by the way. Now i am saving gold for 5th slot.
Orkans are good. I use them with pinatas on griffin. When completed uphrades, they will kill every bot in one cycle i think.

Good decision. Hard to make a bad choice between 5th slot, Orkans, or Galahad. You will want them all. It is really dependent on what you want. I preferred playing new bots and weapons rather than stay to a few and race up to Gold tier. Enjoy the journey. You will also build silver that you will need later on for highest levels. My highest bot is L7 and I have no worries about future silver needs.
I can't remember the order for me but think Orkans, 5th slot, Galahad as well. Gareth and Galahads with Orkans earn me a lot of 5 Au Medal of Capture awards if not top damage, even now, especially now. I do a lot more damage by often taking cover to let the Orkans reload. The continual fire of Orkans is awesome, but patience to fire and reload, fire and reload is how you stay alive and kill > win. Gareth and Gala are quicker to pop out or cover than a Griff. Guarantee my Gareth and Gal contribute more to my Gold earnings currently than the Griff. Remember Pix is always going to vary your squad mates and therefore where you land on total damage rank for the match. You have much more control over how many beacons you win and whether or not you get 5 Au for that MoC. 3 beacons minimum a match keeps the gold flowing.
Sorry I got a little philosophical there on how I play. Good luck.
