First off, the information here is top notch. So, thanks all!
If I'm reading the advice on here correctly, Juggernaut is a good tank mech and worth taking to rank 2 early on so it can get some stronger weapons. My problem is that I'm getting next to zero blueprints to upgrade the SOB! IS that normal? I've already gotten a killshot AND a panther, but my Juggernaut is slumming it in rank 1.

Blueprints are completely random. Patience is pretty much the best practice. Check the shop every day. There are daily deals that sell Blueprints for credits there that refresh every day. Once you get to rank 2/3, keep the token booster rolling from the premium page of the shop. 100 A-coins= 1000 activity tokens, or 10 silver crates. It's the best way to keep blueprints rolling. You can also use a-coins to supplement the blueprint cost, but it's kind of expensive, so not really worth it. The daily login calendar doubles what it drops after logging in for 3 consecutive days, so a lot of blueprints drop from there too. |

^^^ What Redfiend said, except for the random part. I’m pretty sure the games knows what you want to upgrade most, and gives you blueprints for everything but that.  I’m going through that with my Lancer at the moment. |

You can once again use A-coins to buy blueprints. Hit the upgrade button for the Jug and it will tell you how many A-coins it will cost. You want to be sure NOT to purchase credits as a part of the offer... the exchange rate is terrible that way. The best thing is to buy any credits in advance by clicking on the credits you have at the top right of the hangar screen. You can get 100,000 credits for 1000 A-coins.

A thought - maybe take out the Juggs and put other mechs in, and see if the crates start producing Juggs bps. I get them very frequently but I alsmost never have a Juggs in.

I honestly think it's still just random. We get blueprints for everything, but it seems like we have a ton of blprts for stuff we're not upgrading. I've started upgrading a "common" item after weeks of neglecting it with hundreds of blprts and they didn't last near as long as I thought they would. Basically 1.5-2 ranks (and those were just for R2 and R3). It's likely the same result I would have gotten had I been using and upgrading the item over the same period of time. It's just the perception that we get more of stuff we're not using. I feel it to, but I doubt it's real.

Blueprints tend to keep every item you have access to around the same level except for gear that starts at higher ranks. Every item I have access to currently has enough blueprints to be between 3.3 and 3.6. If not for credit drought, I'd keep them even. Even players like Scape211 don't have most of their stuff upgraded, instead focusing 1-2 bots and using the items that started at a higher level like missile racks, Zephyr, carbines etc. |

My Shadow is at 3.6 and to take it to 3.7, I need 36 blueprints and it costs 432 A-coins! Ouch...looks like my Shadow will stay at 3.6 for a while. |

I think that the rarity of the item you are upgrading affects the A-coin cost... Jug might not be so bad. My Panther was less than that for 40 Blueprints... I think... |

Yeah...I'm gonna give up on the Shadow for now. I think I'm gonna go RPG6 on the KillShot and move my Jav6 to my Paragon for a while and try that out. This should my my Killshot more aggressive and do more damage per magazine and make my Paragon relevant again as a sucker puncher. I've saved up over 1k A-coins and I'm going to be smarter with them from now on. ⓣⓡⓘⓒⓚⓨ48 I saw your vid of Killshot with MR6. Considering the pros and cons between MR6 and RPG6 and the fact that my RPG6 is already at R3.4, do you think it's worth spending $20 on the MR6 when I next see it (or 281k credits when I save that much). IDK, I already have the MR8 on my Guardian and I would only replace the Guardian if/when I get the Zephyr, so I've been thinking that I can do alright without the MR6. |

Honestly... so much depends on your goals and priorities. If you are wanting to run MRs on your Guardian and still want to run MRs on KS, then... maybe... if you plan on ranking them up to get the most out of them. Otherwise, I would just try the 8s on the KS and see if you like that better than on the Guardian. Or, if it's at least the type of gameplay you would want to use on the KS. Then decide if the 6s are worth it you. Oh, and if you plan on getting the MD or another light bot to 12 energy, then YES. But I got mine on that first cheap sale and I don't know that I would have gotten them on the subsequent "full Price" sale. As it stands, I am only using the 8s. BUT, I am considering running the 6s on the Jugs for a bit...
So, all that is to say, "I don't know" lol.

I'll save my money...I'll try the RPG6 on the Killshot for a while and see how I like it. Playstyle should be similar to MR6.
I haven't ranked my Killshot to use MR8 yet...so this is the best I can do.

My problem is that I'm getting next to zero blueprints to upgrade the SOB! IS that normal? I've already gotten a killshot AND a panther, but my Juggernaut is slumming it in rank 1. Yesterday I was thinking of starting a thread on the exact same thing. Juggs seems to be in a category by itself. I have been perched at R2L6 forever and just am not getting any blueprints for it. Before that I mainly had to buy its blueprints through the store. Then I got Pulse Cannons and now the store keeps offer bps for them and my Juggs is just stuck. Every other bot I routinely get some blueprints but for Juggs it's nada, nothing, zip... |
