I found it right off the bat. But I browse the board like a file cabinet, top to bottom. Starting with whatever has 'new' slapped on it.
Exciting news. Glad I have 10 gekkos, total... lol. Sadly only 4 are leveled to 10.

They'll be 20% better! Which... isn't really that great, I suppose. But not bad, either.

If they continue to Buff weapons and not Mecha to compensate, no one will want to remain in their current Mecha because they'll be less competitive.
Everyone disapproves of the Ancilot but Everyone will use them because they'll be the only Mecha to survive.
Does no one realize this? ..

And they are buffing weapons that is not represented in game for the most part - Punisher, Molot, Ancile, Noricum, Gekko. I think that Zenit and Spirals are on the way

I think that Zenit and Spirals are on the way They Buffed the Rogatka because it was easily destroyed - back to square one, again .. Well, I am sure that they are buffing stuff that is not commonly used. That is the reason they "buffed" maps, too. If statistics is showing unnatural distribution of some sort - they are willing to change things back to normal. If you remember, they buffed Leo pretty good this year, and it became awesome bot. Prior to that, BritBots got it's buff with speed, and look now at all those Gareths and Lancelots. Then WildBunch was buffed with QuickDraw speed up (making it really quick), and again speed\HP buff. I hope they will do the same to Gepard, eventually, because I got four of them :-D

I won't believe it until it's in the game. Still undecided what's the best light weapon for midrange Natasha. During the time I make tests with finalists (Molot, Pin, Spiral, Gekko) it is 1 buff performed and 2 more announced. Then they find out that Spirals need buff as well and I will never choose the one to take behind lvl 7...

I was unimpressed with the Gekko, and became irritated when the RNG in the Gold chests saw fit to give me so many of them. I'd have preferred 500 Gold to the damn things.
Hopefully the buff makes them worthwhile. 20% boost to damage seems fair, really.

I like gekko weapon but i don't have it because it's weak. It's great for finishing off light and medium bots with low hp, though. I got a few kills yesterday in Springfield and Dead City while I was camping in a Leo with Treb, Gekko and Molots. Although my teams lost, I had fun doing much of nothing except killing reds who were trying not to "mech out".

Three gekkos and a Zeus should make a good light show. I'll have to level each of the gekkos differently so we can see all the pretty colors...

I think that Zenit and Spirals are on the way I agree with you, but for one thing: they will buff orkans which might be the best weapon of the game already

Well, I won one Treb and two Gekkos during the event, so good. Maybe I can try a Natasha with Treb/Gekko for fun one day.
I'm more of a knife-fighter, but let's use what I have I guess...

So I might find some use for my 7 gekkos after all! Lol that's exactly how many I have. When I first started War Robots a few years ago, I thought a gekko patton would be the strongest robot in the game, and therefore idiotically poured all of my starting gold, hours of grinded gold (this was before daily missions!), and $5 into buying four shiny new gekkos. I proudly mounted them on my patton and entered the battle. They were terrible. I called it my "fancy laser pointer" and, no matter how much I tried, I could not do anything other than make enemy ships turn bright yellow. I then won another three from event chests. If I was able to sell them for full gold value, I could buy a lancelot or fury. Oh well! I'm glad theyre getting buffed. I remember entering a battle with a gekko gepard. We ran around in circles, having a mini disco party in shenzhen spawn. I would love more disco parties of death.

Well, at least you bought your Gekko at 750 sticker price :-D Some of my Gekkos are bought at 1000 sticker price. Hm, but one is a free from the event.. and several from 100 chests.. Well, I might be getting those ~750 average price too. Nevermind :-D
