Ive read a couple of guides (and videos) on what I'm supposed to do, and hopefully i'm going the right way with my hangar still. I do have some questions since I'm lost on what should I next, so here they are 1. About the workshop: Is it better to go for weapons first or robots? People say that weapons are better first but I'd have to wait for another one (or three more) before I can put said weapons and that kind of sucks, but going for robots first also has a flaw, that is that I dont have weapons to put on said robots (unless punishers still work on almost every bot?). 2. 5th robot slot or avenger? I heard avenger got nerfed alot, but my thunder on my leo is slacking off rn, so I want an avenger for it, but at the same time the 5th robot slot would be useful aswell. 3. punisher gareth or storm/magnum gareth? 4. Is my hanger good for now? Also: damn upgrading costs ALOT now. I dont remember upgrading punishers to lvl 6 for 200k silver yo And thats it for now. Thanks for replying if you do, and cya later!

Hanger looks good to me for now.
About the workshop... So you have a Leo and the Thunder is not performing. If I were you, I would workshop a Redeemer. Yes, they are kinda expensive to upgrade, but they hit really hard and it will last you all the way up to the top.
Do not spend your gold on anything until you get that 5th slot, but I would not rush that 5th slot either. Nothing wrong with building up a pile of gold and Avenger, while still ok, is not worth the price these days IMHO...especially without pilot skills.
After you produce the Redeemer in the workshop, I would give serious thought to producing a bot. Blitz, now that it has a Legendary Pilot, will be meta for a long time. I have yet to see a pilot get nerfed and his skill is what makes the Blitz.
Nightingale is a good choice too.
Heck, now that I am talking about a Blitz and we already talked about a Redeemer on your Leo, I would give serious thought to spending a bit of gold to get Magnums. Only issue is they are not considered meta weapons so it may be wasted gold in the long run, but they are super cheap to upgrade and 12MK2 Magnums are nothing to laugh at. They actually hurt and they do sync well with a Redeemer on a Leo. I smashed through games with a plasma Leo the last time I ran a smurf.
Anyway...I kinda answered then I kinda changed my mind, but there are some things to think about.
I would definitely make a Redeemer then I would go for a bot in the workshop.
Also, things get expensive as you go up. There is nothing wrong with staying pat with what you have, saving your resources, work shopping the things that will take you to the top and then spending what you saved, on the meta gear you made in workshop.

You can easily get a free "Meta Bot" every month through the SC so there's no need to build bots just yet.
You need to open roughly 620 bronze chests to get to the SC. If you use all ads and keys to open bronze chests you will make it by the end of each month.
Bronze chests move the SC bar quicker than sliver and gold chests.
Set yourself an upgrade limit. L9 is good as it gets your bots to top speed and unlocks all modules if they have that ability.
Understand the construct of the game.
Match Maker will usually allow you to win between 40 and 60% of games.
The league system will dish out the league ranking points in a way to elevate you faster than your hangar will cope with. With Pix hoping that will make you buy stuff.
Above all enjoy the battle.

to balrog: Alright ill go ahead and start working on teh redeemer now. I might run a redeemer magnum leo in that case. I heard good things from the blitz, and with that, blitz will most likely be my first workshop bot then. Thanks for the advice! to milty: 620 bronze chests sounds alot, but ill go take a shot at a SC once the supermarket resets. And sure, ill save up all my silver once i get everything to L9. That league system logic does sound scary though, wouldnt like to be at diamond league with barely L8 stuff Oh and im a f2p player. And thanks! I really enjoy destroying bots with my gareth and leo.

That league system logic does sound scary though, wouldnt like to be at diamond league with barely L8 stuff Oh and im a f2p player. And thanks! I really enjoy destroying bots with my gareth and leo. It sounds scary but It's around 20 bronze chests a day. Every day you get I think 9 ads every daily reset. Then you also get the watch 2 ads for twenty keys, 100k silver and 10 gold. Play around 6 games. There's 6 more ads plus about 10 keys. For those 9+2+6+1=18 You will probable get around 20 keys in the bronze chests and there you have it. After 30 days you receive a nice new bot to play with. Without wasting silver on building one. Aim at completing one big and one short hex every for day that spaces out along the SC bar. Good luck. I'm f2p for over 4 years and still love playing with the older "Legacy Bots". Ps. There's a way to reset ads so you can get more than the daily allowance of ten for opening chests. Settings > Apps > War Robots > Clear data.

Clearing of data n cache is only available for android platforms.
To OP, i will say just level up a few of the punishers n punisher-ts till abt lvl 9. If u can, take it to mk1 lvl 12. They r usable all the way up to champion league. They r one of the cheapest n most value for money weps in game. And the time needed to level them is the shortest.
Judging by the way u comment on the cost to upgrade one punisher to level 6, u will find it more expensive for other better weps now. So just level up the punishers first.
Use them to get more silver so that u can in turn, invest it on better weps n bots later on.
When u win or get better weps down the road, then u change out the punishers.
If u win newer bots n do not have the ideal weps for them, just use the leveled up punishers as place holders for the time being.

Robots come equipped with weapons and abilities to get kills and honor points. I would go for the robots first.
2. 5th robot slot or avenger? I heard avenger got nerfed alot, but my thunder on my leo is slacking off rn, so I want an avenger for it, but at the same time the 5th robot slot would be useful aswell.
If you want to be more ageessive you only have one choice. The 5th slot.
3. punisher gareth or storm/magnum gareth?
I use my Gareth with a Gekko and Aphid. It gets kills and inflicts some worthy damage. I feel it performs well for my needs.
4. Is my hanger good for now?
I would switch Natasha for Mr. Jesse with the Nashorn and punishers but that bot is a matter of personal taste I've found.

IMO he first thing you should make in he workshop is a beacon capper. This allows you access to more honor (which translates into more silver) as well as beacon gold.

Yes, yes, and an additional yes for good measure. And frankly, when it comes to honor/beacon capping get a dang Nightingale! You can cap beacons -AND- if you are the #1 healer you get 360 honor for that. Even for a small amount of healing if you are #1 you get 360. When it comes to honor this is a big flippin' deal. (Full disclosure: I have a substantial amount of stock in "Nightingale Enterprises, Ltd.")
