🚨 Incoming Update: Major Price Reductions for Common, Uncommon & Rare Mechs and Weapons 🚨
Hey everyone,
In 14 days, we’ll be rolling out a major repricing update for all Common, Uncommon, and Rare Mechs and Weapons, both for acquiring and upgrading them.
🔧 What’s Changing:
- Significantly lower prices to unlock or buy Mechs and Weapons of these rarities.
- Reduced upgrade costs to make progression smoother and more rewarding.
🗓 Effective Date: June 3
💬 Why the Change?
The game is constantly evolving, with new content added in every update. To keep pace with these changes and support the game's continued development, our team is continually fine-tuning the overall balance. The upcoming repricing is one such step - an important adjustment aimed at improving balance and ensuring a smoother progression experience for all players.
Check out the FAQ below and let us know if you still have any questions left in the comments ⬇️
1️⃣ Will the change affect only the prices in offers?
The upcoming repricing will take place across the whole balance, including real-money prices in offers, prices in Credits, A-coins, and Blueprints. Moreover, the cost of content upgrades will be recalculated as well: the prices of the content upgrades will depend on the Content’s Energy Capacity.
2️⃣ Is it a permanent change?
We will need some time to run careful analysis of the change's impact on the balance. That is why in the near future, everything will remain as it is. Our team will be closely monitoring the situation and the feedback. If anything changes, we will be informing the community in advance.
3️⃣ Are there going to be any shuffles in Gear Hub Tiers?
No, Content's distribution across the Gear Hub Tiers will remain the same. Also, the logic of receiving the second copy of the heavy Weapon remains unchanged.
4️⃣ Will you decrease the price of Epic and Legendary Mechs and Weapons, as well as Pilots, Implants, and Mods, in the future? If not, why does the change apply to Common, Uncommon, and Rare content only?
With this repricing presenting rather major changes to the game and to its balance, we are currently focusing on the lower rarities of Mechs and Weapons. Our team wants to act in such a way as to look at the impact of a smaller change on the overall ecosystem and make further decisions. We will keep you notified in advance regarding all possible future changes.
5️⃣ Will the change affect the Blueprint drop rates for the maxed Content?
No, the Content repricing does not include any changes to Blueprint drop rates.

Will the upgrading of the ranks of commons, uncommon, and rares, be different each because of the rarity?
Also will the rank upgrade cost be lowered by 50%, because I hope so? It takes roughly one month to earn 1000 A coins.
Will a weapon's rank upgrade cost be lower than a mech's rank upgrade cost?
What do ya'll (the readers) think about this matter? Do ya'll agree about these questions?
G.W.
Well---in a way it sounds on the face that it is unfair to those of us who paid through the nose or who worked our tails off grinding to have those who didnt be able to have the same equipment we do , and thus become competition without paying their dues. Am I in left field about this? Ive spent THOUSANDS HERE so why should another player pay farr less to be equal to me? How about adjusting backwards to people like me?
