How do people get all this Mk2 stuff..

Actually over a year. I've been playing since Lunar New Year event 2017. So like a year and a half. Heck won the Anarchy Rog in that event. Still a great bot that too bad can't use in upper leagues.

Someone who has a full Mk 2 hanger is either playing a helluva lot or has spent some money. I'm in the middle, with most of my weaps but none of my bots at Mk 2. I limit my spending to around $10 a week (luckily I don't have a Starbucks habit ) and use most of that on gold offers for upgrades. However, if a new META appears, I may just stop spending altogether and be satisfied with whatever hanger I have at the time. The new economy is dampening some of my enthusiasm for the game.

F2P grinders that had a max/near max hangar a year ago that have focused their upgrades will just be getting close to a single hangar of mk2 gear about now. I know because that's what I have been doing since late 2017. As mentioned, the guys with the newest stuff at MK2 already are likely spending a lot to get there, playing this thing like a job, or are using alternative/questionable methods of obtaining resources.

THIS! I have a full MK2 Hangar and it is because I already had a maxed MK1 hangar and silver and gold. Then once MK2 hit I made it a Priority.

To those claiming it is only money you are delusional. I play enough to get at least 1000 activity points a week then grind some more!

Do not forget how you use the resources effect this as well. For example all my adds have gone to decreasing upgrade time since adds hit.

My newer stuff is still MK1 and most like my flux and Dragoons have not made it past level 10 or 11.

This is going to sound vague, but there are many variables. New economy vs. old, focusing on particular bots/weapons. How, what, and when you spend Au, Ag, or cash on. How do you get game currency. It’s a balancing act in variable gravity.

Sure, I have spent rm, probably too much. But that currency bought by rm, goes fast. Patience is partially key, but might not be as straightforward as waiting for an upgrade to finish all by itself. 4-5 day upgrade? Wait 2-3 days and then add Au. You should be getting Au and Ag from regular play. As a matter of fact, you might earn more and kill more if you upgrade early.

I won’t tell you to buy currency, far from it, well except for Ag. Never buy Ag it’s a total ripoff. But if you have Au, don’t be afraid to spend it, that is what it’s for, just do it wisely. In my opinion, you are limiting yourself if you don’t spend it on upgrades at least occasionally.

People talk about years long upgrades, and if you add up the numbers, they are partially correct, but only if you are acting like Scrooge McDuck and never spending your Au. Sorry if that’s not much of an answer. I’m certainly not disparaging you, but there is no a+b=c.

Probably alot more for the ?lady bits?. Assuming it's a chic.  Doesn't look like any breasts there so $0 for them.

In all honesty, I used to play a lot and spent modest money and I too have been playing 1.5 yrs. And I basically run level 11 bots with 75‰ mk2 lvl12 weaps. When I say modest, it was a lot for more than I'd planned on.... probably $50/month to $75/month worst case. But I was playing 1250-1500 cups/wk, every week, and way more for events.

kevmac, rumor has it you can buy AU from hackers or some such at huge discounts. Rumor also has it that if you get caught you get banned. I dont know the truth to any of it, but I assume that is the reference.

Spender or Grinder/Tanker.

I'm the second type, my weapons were all lvl9 in diamond league grind out free Bulg Haechi, 2 Scourge 2 Shocktrain, plus you probably remember those Christmas events had free 12 hours premium on all the time. So I was farming pretty much half a million per game back then. Had over 300m banked pushed all my hangar from lvl9 to lvl12... those days were absolutely insane. I miss those heavenly 5 hours grind everyday.
Now just waiting to get everything to MK2 12 while clubbing experts to bank some more silver everyday. Will see what pix do in the future.

My clan mate RoC is in Masters and has a real nice hanger with meta bots and weapons, some Mk2L12 .What's amazing is he spends nothing!My respect is way high for these type as I have a need to have everything now and still I've no Mk2 stuff.
Though it boggles my mind it prooves it is possible to have it all while PFF despite the crappy new economy. 

Focusing early only on weapons and bots that are good in the upper levels. Don’t waste time and silver on something that’s useless past gold level. Got on the forum early so I could spend resources semi wisely. And that said I’m just barely into mk 2 at 9 months.

I've pretty much down this and I have a pretty good hangar and my stuff in mainly 11/12. However there's lots of stuff I want to try to use, not sure if it's the meta that sits and nothing gets done to it. I think I'll very soon start to level that stuff, especially pre economy. And when I do it just level it to 9 and move on.

I have put a little bit of $$ in and I'm not Mk2 yet...but will be.

My budget is not big... I spend what I might put in the arcade.

0.99 for tickets, bonus task 200au for same purchase.  Repeat a few times.  Level some.

I play bronze chest a lot on my eky rolls and although they tweak the payouts all the time, it has at time payed about 250au per 1000 keys.

I am a huge fan of KOTH and earn 10au frequently in that mode because everyone hates it so much.


The people who've mk2ed everything in my clan have been playing 1 or more years.  I'm about 6 months in.  I have focused on 6 bots and limited weapons.  Lvl 12 anything is better than Lvl 6 anything else.

In general... if I play a little more than it takes to get my daily tasks completed... I earn enough gold and silver to shorten my upgrade times on old or new economy stuff by about 60%.  That's a weekly activity of 500-1000.. and closer to 500.

So far the only truly depressing waits have been for Flux and and a new economy Bulg I have once I passed level 9 on them... but that's stuff I'm likely never getting rid of.
