Vote on ideas for Mech Arena!
I have prepared a couple of ideas for Mech Arena.
If you agree – 1
If you disagree – 2
And now, to the ideas:
NEW MECH
- A new epic support mech – "Assistant"
Rarity: Epic
HP: 52,600 (base)
Skill: Support creates a 10-meter-wide field around the mech. While an allied mech is inside this field, its ability recovers twice as fast, and its weapon reloads faster.
- Duration: 10 seconds
- Cooldown: 20 seconds
- Speed: 20 km/h
Now to the game ideas
Clans
Clan upgrades: the clan system is dead. A "clan boost" could be introduced: for example, clans could select primary mechs before battles – Attack, Recon, Tanks, and Support. If the primary clan mechs are "Support," all clan mechs would receive "clan effects," such as +10% speed for M.D. or -30% cooldown for M.D.
Second idea – Clan purchases:
Clans could contribute to purchasing a mech or weapon worth 8,275 A-Coins. Each member could donate A-Coins to lower the price of a specific weapon/mech. This would act as a "clan discount."
For example, if the clan collects 3,000 A-Coins, the price of a weapon that costs 8,275 A-Coins would drop by 3,000 A-Coins.
Bots
Disabling bots: Sometimes, playing against bots is just boring. Bots will never replace real players. I simply don’t believe that Plarium, with a 100-million player audience, cannot provide us with 5v5 battles with real people! Mech Arena is Plarium’s second most popular game after Raid: Shadow Legends!
Bots have an advantage – they make matchmaking faster, but playing against real players would be much more exciting.
Donations
This is a painful topic for all online shooters, but I feel neutral about it. On the one hand, donations are needed to support servers, pay programmers, 3D modelers, community managers, artists, etc., and make the project profitable.
But in Mech Arena, it’s a bit too much.
Having 10 pop-up windows about donations is just annoying. The prices are high, though sometimes there are good offers. But I don’t have money for them. :(
Maybe removing at least the pop-ups would already improve the experience.
New Mechs & Weapons
There are many weapons and mechs in the game – that’s great. But why is there so much Legendary-tier gear?
Why not focus more on Epic and Rare weapons? There is already too much Legendary content. It would be great if the developers focused more on balance, donations, bots, and clans instead of just adding more Legendary weapons.
Balance
I don’t know why, but many players complain about balance. Personally, I don’t face many balance issues, but sometimes Nomad and Eclipse appear. They aren’t a problem for me – I often beat them in 1v1 fights. But they do have a slight advantage.
If you play against them with a teammate, then it’s fine. But for a better experience, the devs should focus more on balancing the game. I see they are trying – they run test tournaments – so I hope for the best.
New Game Mode
The game currently has only 5 modes:
- 5v5
- 2v2
- 1v1
- Control Point Capture
- Surge Mode
Honestly, that’s too little. Having at least 7 modes would be better! But I heard a new mode is being developed, and I’m really excited about it!
It's an idiot's dream!
Weapon Buffs/Nerfs
Some weapons need buffs or nerfs:
- Disc Launcher: I haven’t used this weapon much – around 1,000 battles. But I really think there should be a toggle switch to enable/disable auto-aim. Sometimes, the enemy is behind a wall at 40 meters, and I try to hit them using the 10-meter AOE damage. But the auto-aim forces me to target the wall… 😭
- Reworker: Many players say this weapon is overpowered. I agree – it has high damage and low cooldown. But if it’s used on Brickhouse, it’s not too bad.
BUT WHEN IT’S NOMAD & REWORKER – IT’S BROKEN!
I haven’t played with it myself, but other players destroy me instantly. 😩 - M.D.: No words – best mech in the game. But I suggest increasing its speed from 22 km/h → 25 km/h.
It’s a flying support mech and medic. Medics should be fast! Why do you think ambulances are called "ambulances"? Because they drive fast! So M.D. should too!
Final Thoughts
Thanks for reading! Let me know what you would add or remove.
And remember:
- If you agree – 1
- If you disagree – 2
Well, that's it - I go to watch TV and eat dumplings with sauce. 😋
Edited: Now your ideas
Hello everyone! 13 days ago, I made a comment where I proposed ideas for Mech Arena and asked for your suggestions. Now I can add the ideas you proposed! Back then, 10 people voted "yes," and only one voted "no" (strange that they didn't like it). Also, the community manager informed us that they are already working on some of the points.
Now, on to the ideas:
(dumplings are finished)
Clan Production: A clan can produce a certain amount of resources every month. For example, you can level up the clan from 1 to 10, and for each level, you get +100 a-coins/10,000 credits. At level 10, we would receive 1000 a-coins/100,000 credits every month!
New Game Mode: 2 vs 2 against 8 teams. A huge map where 8 teams of two players each compete.
Recycling Function: The ability to destroy old mechs/weapons and get 50% of their cost back! This idea is absolutely necessary!
Battle Pass: I think many players will agree with me that the Battle Pass is too monotonous right now — just resources and that's it. Maybe adding new skins and tasks would make it more interesting.
Physics: Maybe many of you have experienced this: you bought Ares, play with it, learn it, and then, all of a sudden... BAM! You get hit by M.D. with shotguns. Not only does it take away HP, but it also pushes you! Maybe if the developers added damage from ramming and falling damage, it would be cool. For example, Ares weighs 49 tons, and M.D. weighs 22, so Ares could deal significant damage due to its weight. This could create new PvP interactions. Also, falling damage would be useful since sometimes you climb to a high point, and... BAM, but you don’t take damage, which seems unrealistic. (Mechs that fly or jump would take less damage).

EDIT:
Hi everyone!
2–3 months ago I created a post suggesting ideas for improving Mech Arena. That post actually became one of the top discussions, and many players shared their thoughts too! After 13 days I published a follow-up, and now, after a 50-day break from the game, I’m back — with even more ideas for the future!
So here’s a fresh list — some ideas are mine, others I collected from the community:
Ideas for Mech Arena:
1️⃣ Voice Chat — both in the lobby and in battles! This feature is 100% necessary for teamwork and more fun.
2️⃣ Text Chat during battles — would allow players to communicate and cooperate, especially in random matches.
3️⃣ More new mechs and weapons — but please, not only Legendary! Add Blue, Green, and Purple-tier gear too, to make progression more balanced and fun for all players.
4️⃣ Disable bots — I keep insisting on this: real players are always more interesting to fight against than bots! Games exist for fun and competition, not to beat AI. If enough of us speak up, maybe Plarium will finally reduce or remove them. I believe this change could even bring in more profit, since real player interaction keeps games alive longer.
5️⃣ Steam Release — this could bring new life to Mech Arena! Many PC gamers use Steam, and listing the game there could boost player numbers and revenue for the developers. It’s a win-win!
6️⃣ New Game Mode — developers once teased new modes, but so far none have been added. Is development still ongoing, or close to release? Players are curious!
7️⃣ Selling unwanted mechs — for example, I’m an "MD User" and love this mech. I have others like Ares (worth 42 credits) just sitting unused. Why not allow us to recycle mechs for 50% of their original cost? (In this example: 21 credits).
8️⃣ Show real-time online player counts — transparency builds trust with the community.
9️⃣ Improve balance — some mechs and weapons still feel unfair or underpowered. Keep working on balance to make every battle exciting!
🔟 Better chat moderation — especially in the lobby. I understand there are 999+ servers (at least on the Ukrainian server), but realistically only about 5 are active. One large server with proper moderation would help maintain a clean and friendly space for players.
That’s it for now! I hope more players will share their ideas too.
