The game updated this morning. No new gear  but Custom Game mode is now available  . I was hoping for new gear...I'm kinda regretting cloning my Guardian now and have been thinking that I really should have waited and gone the Redox route or waited for a new mech. Don't get me wrong, it's a great mech and absolutely brutal with Thanos. But...do I really need two? There's only been a couple of games where I've used both Guardians so I haven't really utilized it yet. I rarely play more than 3 games consecutively so the MM doesn't "punish" me or make me take "mandatory" breaks. It does come in handy in squad games and yes, there have been times when I've played one Guardian too aggressively and the second one managed to swing the game...so yeah, only regretting it a little bit....  Still, the nice thing about this game is that when I "shelve" something, it's not permanent and it's only because I want to try something else. So, my next project is to give some upgrade love to my PC8. I feel I haven't used them to their full potential yet and I really want to see how good the accuracy boost upon rank up is. Anyway, anyone try Custom Games yet? I only took a quick look and it looks as promised so far. |

Just realized that you can go into a Custom Game on your own to explore the maps. I guess this also means that we can use a second device and we can finally make videos of weapon damages at different ranges. Let the video making begin!

Haven’t tried custom yet, but it looks like a worthy feature to the game.
My damaged bots got melted from behind cover several times during tourney matches by AI Redox this weekend Made my opinion of that mech change.
I’m on a mission to clone my Shadow. No idea when that will happen considering the rate I acquire blueprints.

That will take me to 5-7, and I'm sitting on about 6000 A-coins. I haven't tried the new game modes yet because I'm trying to gather said "credits". |

I have enough A-coins for a Redox now....hmmm....I'm not even sure how to play that mech.... is it an ambush mech, a Thanos platform, MR8/RG16, or what? It doesn't have nearly the amount of HP that my R6 Guardian has, doesn't have the speed and CQC ability of my Panthers, doesn't have active protection to let it use sustained damage weapons like my SB12....arghh....maybe I'll just keep waiting! |

Been running into Redux with RM 10s or 12s a lot |

The only upside for Redox to me is it's high SP out of the box,just a slow 「bum-bum」 bot with an ability that's not that good.

Fantastic. They added a game mode I’ll never use, changed the terminology of a bunch of crap, and AI is still OP AF. New lipstick on the same old pig. Here’s my outstanding showing in my first game after the update. I know I’m not the greatest player out there, but most of you guys have played with me and know that I don’t totally suck. I could not flinch from cover without at least two reds firing at me at once. Killshot evaporated before the first PC clip was empty. Two panthers they just walked right through the barrier and melted. I think one if them got the kill. Guardian frozen before I could hit the EMP and melted without a kill. Zephyr tagged from across the map by LA’s and gone in two shots. Even if they were engaged with another blue, they’d stop and switch to me. And people wonder why I piss and moan so much.  |

I don't own one but from what I've observed facing them and in gameplay videos featuring them, people run them like a weak L3/4 Guardian. Emphasis on long-distance kills (but Rocket Mortars more than Longarms) and lots of corner-shooting. Seems like the ability is just held in reserve in case someone gets too close. As far as I can tell the only popular thing about them is that they have EN24, so you can run 2x RM12s on them and not tie up a more useful mech. Seems like a few players are trying out 2x C12 but it's definitely not as good as a Guardian with those. Again, I don't run one myself but if it was a better mech I feel like I'd see them running more weapon combos and being played differently. Pretty excited to try out custom mode and really explore the maps, especially with my Lancer. Missed that feature from War Robots. |

Yeah, if I'm being honest with myself, I think my infatuation with the Redox is just in how it looks!
I just spent a chunk of A-coins this morning bringing my LA8 to R5, so can't afford the Redox anymore anyway. Oh well, saved me from making a mistake!
I do think that it will be a good idea for everyone to keep a bunch of A-coins in reserve and to save them up and not spend them if you don't need to. I feel the global release is coming soon'ish and when that happens, I think a lot of things will change in the game, like these newer prototype mechs will a likely get a buff of some sort. If the Redox were a fast mech, I likely would have gotten it already. But, of the 2 prototype mechs that were released recently, neither are better than the old mechs they were based on. For example, both Guardian and Panther are still better than the Redox and both Zephyr and Killshot are better than the Surge. Where the two prototypes shine is the fact that they're already at full EN capacity and their purchase cost is similar or overall cheaper than getting their older counterparts and leveling them up. So, folks like us, who already have them leveled up mostly likely won't get them.

I'll just take you as the little voice that convinced me not to spend any today like I've been debating.. Now sitting on 10,686 a-coins and 2,055,861 credits.. I got flooded with BP and a-coins yesterday from the update.. all the chests in the inbox they said would go away and they'd eventually be restored; their method of restored was we will open them for you.. That was a fun tap the screen 500 times to get them to finish since I had 51 boxes in the inbox.. |

Well, with those resources, you can pretty much get anything you want in the game...(evil voice)

I want a Brickhouse because I just love tanks. Plus its ability is awesome. But I will wait as I level Juggernaut and his weapons (MR 8 or PC 8). Redox doesn't thrill me. Maybe devs can tweak it up some. |
