I was gonna wait until drones came in to get this biggest number, but I’m kind of impatient, so for the time being I’m going to say maxing a drone is going to cost as much as maxxing a pilot.
Do note there’s a whole lot of estimating here and offers are not taken into account. 100 Au = $1, 10 Pt = $1, As for silver, I just assume that maxing a single item will cost you $250 worth of silver (and possibly gold speed ups) if you don’t grind it.
Ravana: $100 (+$250 in upgrades)
3 Cryos: $300 (+$750 in upgrades)
3 Premium modules: $150 (+$750 in upgrades)
Legendary Pilot: $25 (+$550 in upgrades)
Drone: $25 (+$550 in upgrades)
Total for one maxxed meta bot: $3,450 (x5)
Total for a full hangar of Ravanas, Pilots, Modules, Weapons, and Drones: $17,250
Ao Ming: $100 (+$880 in upgrades)
2 Gendarme / 2 Curraiser: $400 (+$455 in upgrades)
4 Maxed Modules: $80 (+$455 in upgrades)
Total for a maxed Titan: $2,370
GRAND TOTAL: $19,620
I think it stands to reason to round that up to $25k considering loot boxes (if you decide to get the ravanas as soon as they release), battle passes, 5% skins, skins in general, premium, power cells, special editions...blah blah.
Then again, it also stands to reason to bring the final $25k to $15k because a smart player will not buy gold or pt at full price, rather use deals, which I will assume make it about that much cheaper.
Now, if you consider that every time the meta drastically changes (about once every 6 months) P2W players have to do this entire process over again. War robots is 6 years old, but only about 4 years has it been controlled by mail.ru, making the game extremely p2w. This means someone aggressively chasing the meta since the start of the game has likely lost a bit under $120,000 to it, as titans have only recently been released.

Although I spent far too much on this game, at least I stopped, sure it's possible everyone that spends that much is a rich kid with millions to throw around like pocket change, but it's more likely most are heavily financially crippled by an unhealthy addiction. |

Inb4 this thing gets locked ;) Why would it? It’s just an informative post about the games prices (and my slightly satirical commentary on how they’re too high) Originally was gonna do a price comparison from the original war robots meta prices. Did you know the original price for a maxxed hangar of thorkan Boas was around $60 if you could grind the upgrades yourself? What an increase lol |

Guess that's where the 5am comes in.
I figure your numbers are off by 50% (as you assume everything is bought without discount). But even with brand-new stuff, I don't remember a single occasion where we'd see hangars with bots, weapons AND pilots all new. 5 new bots, some players do that when a new bot comes out. Maybe twice a year (Ravana, Leech, Spectre, Dash bots -- don't think yet that Scorpion falls into that category). But new weapons and bots? Premium weapons right now are still Storms and Scourges, that have been around for 2-3 years. And even whales play occasionally, and never have to buy all silver. They win stuff.
OTOH some players will spend money to buy power cells via gold. And drop a couple of grand in the event.
So I guess it's a few grand for every major change in the meta.
Does it really matter how much it is, exactly? It's the value of a decent car if you play a few years, whether a new one or second-hand one in good condition... The only question is how it affects the playability, like quality of matches and size of playerbase. And for that it doesn't matter if it's 2 grand a year or 50 grand.

I would like to note that while your commentary raises an interesting discussion in terms of not having to switch weapons, do note that I am trying to make the BEST hangar possible, and while scourges and storms are still good as hell, cryos are better. I am assuming the place of a hyper-whale that wants only the best. Also, that $120k number is not 50% incorrect. I calculated deals to be around 50% and lowered it from $25k/hangar to $15k/hangar. Not exactly 50%, but I still did account for it. |

Too me it’s “who cares!” Unless it is an addiction like gambling and.they spend money that would go elsewhere. When I.purchased my pick-up it cost about $40k; however, there were unfitted versions for $100k. Would never spend that but they do sell. I ride mountain bikes although I am getting a bit grey (63). You can get a decent one for about $2k but When I get my next one I will spend around $6 - 8k on a full carbon bike. I can afford it when the time comes. You can get a cup of coffee for 50 cents but many pay over $4 for foo-foo coffee and once again it is just what matters to them. I actually roast my own at home. Do I spend money on War Robots? The answer is yes but I am the 50 cents for a cup of coffee spender. If I.was rich perhaps I would spend more but once again just a choice. Back to the game - do I enjoy being stomped? No, but I just move on to the next match. Sometimes the butt whopping comes from “p2w” players but many times it is just a more skilled pilot than me. I try to learn from the skilled play and just say “crap” (or something else) when stomped. Game is still fun and if it ever gets to where it is not I will move on.

5 hangars max? You're gonna need 50 billion silver...

I wonder how many of these mega whales change their IP to trick the game into thinking they are some region with worthless currency and they use exchange rates to turn USD into lots and lots of the worthless currency to buy pixonic crap.
Do they base the cost off USD and everything else matches or is the cost per region unique?
I know with Japanese fishing reels that have both USDM and JDM versions of the same reel it is MUCH cheaper to buy the JDM reel with yen and have it shipped than to buy the USDM reel. Like a $700 Daiwa a Steez CT can be bought in yen for $500 USD.

Also mods, I'm sorry you believe everything that could be taken as critical is a heated rant, but this is clearly a normal cost breakdown. |

It is not like this is the first time it has been brought up about how much a maxed hanger costs. Never took the time to calculate it so his calculations do put a perspective on it. Just stating that players who feel like It and can afford to pay will continue to do so and there is nothing wrong with it from my perspective. |

If not cryos, then Coronas, Igniters, Atomizers or storms. Only storms are cheaper than cryos... but not really by a significant amount. - When maxxing one item costs 370m, I imagine buying silver starts to look really nice to a whale who can afford it, and when the upgrade time surpasses a month, speeding it up with gold seems nice too. Do take note, this is just an evaluation if you wanted to build a god hangar in a day. Yes, you CAN grind basically everything here, but by the time you get enough silver to max 5 ravanas and 20 weapons, next meta started already - Lol $100 worth of loot boxes is hard to confuse with $100 worth of powercells. I’ve fallen victim to buying $100 worth of boxes before, and yes, they do usually give you a couple weapons, but note this: Usually pix releases one weapon of each slot. If you want to build a ravana hangar, you need 3 mediums. If $100 worth of chests gives you 34 Nucleons, you’re still SOL. |

I've seen totally maxed all-top meta hangars with just a few hundred wins. They're rare but they do exist. So while the OP mainly seems like a theoretical exercise, it's not totally theoretical. And I've definitely seen more accelerated hangars where relatively new players (1-2K wins) have a lot of top meta pretty highly-levelled. I don't think you can get that just with premium and operations pass. You have to buy silver. I'd agree that most highly-levelled players just grind/use premium for silver and focus on platinum/event token deals, but there's a healthy contingent of newer players looking to catch up and join top clans that do seem to spend significantly in the beginning. |

I'd agree that most highly-levelled players just grind/use premium for silver and focus on platinum/event token deals, but there's a healthy contingent of newer players looking to catch up and join top clans that do seem to spend significantly in the beginning. Fair enough. Those do exist, but they’re rare. Most maxed accounts have at least 10k wins as far as I can tell. |

So many assumptions and faulty logic in here that I can’t be bothered to spell it all out, but to get you started: * No one runs Cryo on their Ravana cause it sucks as much as it is expensive * Hardly anyone pays money for silver * $100 of Loot boxes will give you much more than one bot or weapon on average I realize that this is in the Rants section, but you really are spicing it up with something extraordinary. 10/10. - I see cryo Ravanas all the damn time in Champions League. If not cryos, then Coronas, Igniters, Atomizers or storms. Only storms are cheaper than cryos... but not really by a significant amount. - When maxxing one item costs 370m, I imagine buying silver starts to look really nice to a whale who can afford it, and when the upgrade time surpasses a month, speeding it up with gold seems nice too. Do take note, this is just an evaluation if you wanted to build a god hangar in a day. Yes, you CAN grind basically everything here, but by the time you get enough silver to max 5 ravanas and 20 weapons, next meta started already - Lol $100 worth of loot boxes is hard to confuse with $100 worth of powercells. I’ve fallen victim to buying $100 worth of boxes before, and yes, they do usually give you a couple weapons, but note this: Usually pix releases one weapon of each slot. If you want to build a ravana hangar, you need 3 mediums. If $100 worth of chests gives you 34 Nucleons, you’re still SOL. Ok. For the insta-maxed hangars, like was referred to above (guys with a few hundred wins) you’re probably not too far of the mark. Most accounts that are maxed don’t look like that though. I know a lot of whales and while some of them have spent staggering amounts on the game, only one or two of them have ever bought silver. So, technically that may be the “price” of a new account meta hangar, but don’t confuse that with “what money has been put into any meta hangar you see”. |

I was gonna wait until drones came in to get this biggest number, but I’m kind of impatient, so for the time being I’m going to say maxing a drone is going to cost as much as maxxing a pilot. Do note there’s a whole lot of estimating here and offers are not taken into account. 100 Au = $1, 10 Pt = $1, As for silver, I just assume that maxing a single item will cost you $250 worth of silver (and possibly gold speed ups) if you don’t grind it. Ravana: $100 (+$250 in upgrades) 3 Cryos: $300 (+$750 in upgrades) 3 Premium modules: $150 (+$750 in upgrades) Legendary Pilot: $25 (+$550 in upgrades) Drone: $25 (+$550 in upgrades) Total for one maxxed meta bot: $3,450 (x5) Total for a full hangar of Ravanas, Pilots, Modules, Weapons, and Drones: $17,250 Ao Ming: $100 (+$880 in upgrades) 2 Gendarme / 2 Curraiser: $400 (+$455 in upgrades) 4 Maxed Modules: $80 (+$455 in upgrades) Total for a maxed Titan: $2,370 GRAND TOTAL: $19,620 I think it stands to reason to round that up to $25k considering loot boxes (if you decide to get the ravanas as soon as they release), battle passes, 5% skins, skins in general, premium, power cells, special editions...blah blah. Then again, it also stands to reason to bring the final $25k to $15k because a smart player will not buy gold or pt at full price, rather use deals, which I will assume make it about that much cheaper. Now, if you consider that every time the meta drastically changes (about once every 6 months) P2W players have to do this entire process over again. War robots is 6 years old, but only about 4 years has it been controlled by mail.ru, making the game extremely p2w. This means someone aggressively chasing the meta since the start of the game has likely lost a bit under $120,000 to it, as titans have only recently been released. Next up on Adazahi’s super informative posts: 50 better ways to spend half a brain surgeons salary. * $100 of Loot boxes will give you much more than one bot or weapon on average Our dearly departed Pix shill @summoning spent $440 this event to get Scorp and Pilot. According to his posts on Reddit |

I have been playing since feb 2015 so ill point some things out. #1 lots of people pay for silver, it is IMPOSSIBLE to earn enough silver to max out a hanger pixonic made sure of that with the silver nerf so post a screen shot of your average silver earings and prove me wrong. #2 i have bought loot boxes since 2015 and the best weapon i earned was a magnum and the best bot was a leo, pixonic said themselves you have to speed atleast $300 on loot boxes to get ONE meta, once again post a screen shot to prove me wrong. #3 it is not physically possible to play for free or even low spending and keep ANYWHERE near a competitive hanger, pixonic has made sure match making will SMASH YOU, and as soon as they come out with new meta they nerf the old meta making it almost useless. The problem is really that bad, if you cant see that you have either spent a few thousand bucks on buying meta or you are in a low level leauge. |

* $100 of Loot boxes will give you much more than one bot or weapon on average Our dearly departed Pix shill @summoning spent $440 this event to get Scorp and Pilot. According to his posts on Reddit Well, I spent a hundred to get Scorpion and Pilot and paint job, as well as regular useless components and green crack. With component spins from that purchase as well as daily free pulls, I now nearly have components for a second Scorpion. I also spent $150 during the Ravana introduction somehow ended up with 5 of them after the last event was over. It’s “random” and while some people spend through the nose for the latest and greatest, exaggerating spending (not you or our mutual “friend”, mind, rather what I interpreted the op as) does no one any favors. |

Jeez man, why so defensive? OP was just informing some curious minds on how much money it can take in case anyone considered going hyper-whale. Also I think it's about time someone pointed out this outrageous false equivalency, for 100k on a car you're getting a physical object, an engineering masterpiece, something with years upon years of usability and if taken care of can stick around for decades, versus getting some digital 720p bot on a ?dookie?ty mobile game, wish more people could see the difference. Also mods, I'm sorry you believe everything that could be taken as critical is a heated rant, but this is clearly a normal cost breakdown. Soon we will be able to roll BMW loot boxes to win a subscription for heated seats. www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/bmw-subscription-model-for-features-2020-7%3famp |

The problem is really that bad, if you cant see that you have either spent a few thousand bucks on buying meta or you are in a low level #1: Lol. I’ve played maxed hangars for years and have never bought any silver. Premium yes, plaing a lot yes, purchase no. So yeah, you’re wrong. False claims in all caps are still false. #2: I have no idea what you’re trying to say. Do you seriously believe that you will not get any meta bot or weapon for less than $300 in loot boxes? Or do you mean a full hangar? How on earth did you get a Leo in a “loot” box? #3: F2P no. But prior to titans, it was possible to get a maxed meta hangar with moderate (~$50’ish per month) spending. |
