My XP got me to the Zephyr today and I had the $15.99 deal for the Missile Rack 8 available. Decided today was the day to go to Rank 4. Bought the MR8 with cash. Acquired the Zephyr for 375,000 credits. Ranked up the following mechs: Juggernaut
Paragon
Killshot
Panther
Ares
Guardian
I decided to hold off on ranking up Lancer and M.D. due to their high cost (2500 A-Coins). I do not have the Shadow or Cheetah.
Ranked up the following weapons:
Thermal Lance 6
Shotgun 4
Longarm 8
Javelin Rack 4
Javelin Rack 6
Pulse Cannon 8
I held back ranking up the below weapons to save A-Coins and/or because the rank up perk is not worth it:
Autocannons and RPG (all energy levels)
Plasma Cannon 6
Pulse Cannon 6
Rocket Mortar 8
Rocket Mortar 12
Any weapon not on the list either has not been acquired or I have insufficient XP to get it.
Just doing this consumed many A-Coins. I then spent credits raising the level of my Killshot to level 5 and Missile Rack 8 to level 4. Will save remaining credits to further level the Killshot as it gets more HP and more damage from ability when leveling.
Played a few CPC games with a new lineup. Every game, I was in my KS for over 90% of each battle and a the rest with Zephyr/PC8s. Easily won every game. Also did one Tournament battle and absolutely cleaned up.
I am really liking RANK 4!  |

Congrats! R4 is a good place to land on and stay. I was gonna stay at R4 but just had to get my Shadow to R5. Now, my next goal is to get my TL6 to R4 (just need A-coins) and my SB12 to R5 - need tons of credits and likely tons of A-coins.

That is why I tried to hold back on getting anything starting at Rank 4 or upgrading anything to Rank 4 until I had sufficient credits and A-coins to make the big jump. I have 11 different items in my Flash Deals tab for Upgrade Packs at the moment. Don't think I'll be spending the real money on those. |

I am really liking RANK 4! That's awesome man! I love R4, but the party doesn't last forever. Once the AI gets clued in, I've found that they all ranked up to R6 to compete with my R4 stuff.   I literally saw the top mech in a game last week (AI of course) with a 6.7 KS with a 6.7 Carb8 and 6.7 Carb10. I was just like...  But it is fun and it is possible to hang around and do very well in those games. And the good news is, now there's nothing higher for them to go to! That said, I've been in R4land for a while now and I'm closer to R5ville now. I just got my Ares to 4.7 only to see that he costs 2800+ a-coins to rank up. R5ville is going to be the ritzy neighborhood, I can see that already. Gonna have to work hard to keep up with the AI Joneses. |

Wanted to not to slowly add a mech or weapon into R4 land but instead dive head first! |

I still hold the statement where rank 4 is Y1/2 War Robots "Bottom Gold Tier" in terms of pole position.
Where in y1/2 War Robots 8/10-9/12 could hang with/against 12/12s with a bit of skill.
It's a good place to bring everything to while finishing collecting all of the items in game.
The difference between R3-R4 on mechs is the last giant jump they get. Lights and mediums are only short 2EN from max, and the 4EN heavies get from R4 to R5 is only really relevant after getting the rail gun and second copies of the heavy weapons.
Right now I'm focusing on buying the last credit purchasable items while bringing my entire mech roster to R4. After they're all up to snuff, A-coins will be getting dedicated to Stasis 12, the gold tier weapons, and getting all of the single copy weapons to R6 before worrying about bringing the mechs to 5.1.

I noticed the last couple of Prodigy Crate deals I got, the credit amount in the crate went from 24+k to 4+k. Like what the hell? At least the A-coins is still 500. I bought it this morning to rank up my TL, but now I'm broke again in credits and A-coins, so that's it for now. Time to just let it slowly accumulate again. Unrelated to this thread, but one thing I've been doing is hoarding my Loot tokens. I had almost 70 saved up when I finally decided to open a 20 token chest. I didn't really care about what was in the chest. Instead, I wanted that midway prize of 250 A-coins. Then, I moved the bar all the way to the end by opening the 5 token crates, got some credits, got an Ares skin, and of course the Brickhouse skin at the end there which will be nice if/when I finally get a Brickhouse. |

I've been upgrading as needed, for example, love the killshot jav6 and zeph MR8 set ups, so they are staying at their rank for now. but panther and guardian need to go up for whats in store for them.

The change in that deal wasn't that the crate held less, it's that they stopped offering the Prodigy crate, and instead, added the Amateur crate. If I am not mistaken... that is. |

Yup, you're absolutely right...I just checked it out myself...shame on me for not paying attention when I buy stuff, but shame on them for making them so visually similar. Oh well...it's their loss and that will reduce my spending on this game. I'm at a point now that I don't really need to spend anymore and can comfortably coast on what I have. Carbines will just have to wait longer, and I certainly won't be getting the Brickhouse unless I have Carbines. |

I'm right there with ya... if I get a gift card I will blow it on useless digital fun, but otherwise, what I have now is fine for where I am at. |
