Hangar Showdown FAQ

Hangar Showdown has just been released in Mech Arena and, obviously, there were plenty of questions regarding this feature. We've gathered the most popular ones and answered them all in one place. Check out this article and let us know if you found it useful!

1. Why were 2v2 Matches removed?

One of our main focuses with Hangar Showdown was matching you against other players. We removed 2v2 Deathmatch to increase the chances of this.

2. Will 2v2 Matches be back?

At the moment, there are no plans to bring 2v2 Deathmatches back. However, we will continue to monitor the situation.

3. Will it be possible to battle with friends in Hangar Showdown?

We’re currently exploring the possibility of playing Hangar Showdown with friends and we’re conducting tests for future implementation. However, adding this opportunity presents several challenges in terms of matchmaking and other gameplay considerations, which we will need to overcome.

4. Why are people from different Leagues being matched together?

As Hangar Showdown is still in beta, we are still actively refining the matchmaking system. We are gathering feedback from the battles and will make adjustments accordingly to ensure a balanced experience for all players.

5. How are Leagues determined? 

The League you are placed in is based on the Grades of your Mechs and the number of Rank Stars they have. You can progress through the Leagues by increasing the number of Mech Rank Stars in your Squad, or by obtaining higher Grade Mechs. 

6. Which Mechs work best in Hangar Showdown?

The key ingredient for success in Hangar Showdown is to adapt to the situation, Map, and team. There are no specific Mechs which work best for this - it’s about creating synergy with your ally and playing to your own strengths. A varied Hangar can allow you to pick the right Mechs for the right moment.

7. What’s your biggest tip for Hangar Showdown?

Experiment with different combinations! In this Mode, all content performs at its Max Rank or Level during battle. It gives you a unique chance to discover new builds and try out other playstyles.

8. Are you planning on changing the number of free battles? 

We're still analyzing the data. After the results of the beta period, we will re-evaluate the number of free battles while we undergo a thorough review of Hangar Showdown to ensure things remain balanced. 

9. Will we still have 2v2-based Events with 100 A-Coins as the main Prize as it was before?

To ensure a seamless transition to the new Mode, the regular Monday 2v2 Events will be temporarily replaced by a similar one. This new Event will maintain the same schedule and offer comparable rewards, including A-Coins. This change is planned for the next one to two months, with the schedule subject to various factors.

I often encounter a player who leaves during a battle, plays terribly, and dies within 10-15 seconds. I'm forced to steal my score. Because of such people, they only receive a maximum of 20 points. In my opinion, we should get compensation or an extra ticket to the game. Today, I was 180 points short of the reward I wanted. I got a player and at the end of the battle, I had 15 points. I encounter players like this once a day...

Why can't I change hangars?? I've been stuck to one hangar since day 1 of showdown release..

Ангар в этом режиме меняется только вручную непосредственно прямо в лобби самого режима "Битва ангаров". По другому никак

The hangar in this new mode can only be changed manually directly in the lobby of the "Battle of Hangars" mode itself. There is no other way yet :(

Não gostei do novo modo que substituiu o antigo 2x2. É desbalanceado, uso limitado dos mechs, limites de partidas e pra continuar tem que gastar moeda A. A moeda A moeda do jogo é difícil de ccusto conseguir pra ficar gastando com partidas. Seria melhor voltar com o antigo 2x2 e se quiser deixa o hangar pra quem se interessar, mas não foi vantajoso pros jogadores esse  novo modo.

I hate this mode, I'm always on the same team as weak players, this mode is very unfair, you better delete this mode or fix the matchmaking process fairly.

Yah, I've quit playing until matchmaking is fixed. Consistently get no kills, especially since all opponents use Revoker. First couple days were good matches, then it all shifted.

Oh, and doesn't it make sense for the comment box be at the top of the thread?

The stupid and weak allies, how I can combine, this error belongs to the pla, I am very bitter and uncomfortable when the Pla combines me with such an ally, and I am very angry with allies. It is better to have 1v1 mode to show me my ability.

Keep getting stuck with teammates with white and green mechs while battling 2 purple and gold (and vice versa). Matchmaking is often quite lopsided.

Also in the upper league's, we should be required to show up with 5 mechs. I've seen enough matches where it's 2-2 and ends in a 1v2 in the 5th match.

Why did you not just leave 2vs2 as it was. hanger showdown sucks its no fun if you have to be target practice for pocket players if you are so fond of them let them play against eachother and seperate them from free to play comunity. If you do not want to acomodate free to play you should not let people waste their time money and eforts. You were not transparent on this matter and did not include your bigest market in any survey to even hear what we would think of this. Instead you just expect us to follow you like catle while we do not like the hey we are being fed. It doesnt matter how you trei to sugar caot hanger showdown it remains a brainfart you couldhave come up with something better.

Bots are a major problem that cannot be solved until They have enough "Real Players", money spending individual, to fill battle requests ~

Whether Mech Arena made it out of the box to late to compete with FortNight etc., it will remain a financial burden filled with Bots. Every once in a while I get to play with/against a Real individual however, They are usually fully powered. So the term Game Balancing has no tangible meaning ~

Bots look at Me, I explode.... And until My hangar is maxed out, I get fried ~

Giving Up is simply not an option at this point....

It's like Plarium is actively trying to get people to STOP playing this game.
