🛠️ Major Game Balance Update Continues: Wave 3 Details Revealed!
It’s almost time for the third phase of our four-stage rebalance. Following the results of Wave 1 and 2, these new changes will go live on February 9th.
Staying true to our November announcement, this rebalance continues to prioritize buffs while applying careful adjustments to overperforming content.
📊 Our analysis: Increasing the buffs
After reviewing the data from the first two waves, the results are clear: while the meta is shifting, many players are still hesitant to move away from their “tried-and-true” gear. We want to bridge that gap. To ensure you have a genuine opportunity to try something new, we are expanding the Wave 3 buffs. Our goal isn't just to change numbers, but to make a wider range of content truly competitive and viable.
📆 When?
The third stage of the rebalance will take place 14 days from today, on the 9th of February.
🛠️ What?
One Weapon will be nerfed again:
Revoker: Damage (another -15% from the initial damage before the 1st nerf, or ~ -21% from the 1st nerf), Implant Range (50% → 30%)
Dev Note: We can’t stop thinking of our good friend Revoker that still remains in its high positions among the players. Don’t get us wrong, it’s cool and all, but in order for the other weapons to get their share of attention, we need to lower Revoker’s stats a little bit, mostly focusing on its range now. Initially, it was meant to be the Close Quarter weapon that is the more effective the closer you stand to the enemy. In these regards, we’re taking some of the Implant’s Range to let you focus more on the close fights. We do believe that our old friend will still remain very effective if you manage to close the gap with the opponent ;)
Seven pieces of content will be buffed:
Gatecrasher: Beam Blast Damage (+40%), Ion Beam Damage (+49%), Ion Pod Speed (+200%)
Dev Note: One of our favorite Mechs is getting a decent buff in damage to make sure it can stand among the new and popular content. Plus, which is not less important, hitting those nasty shots with its ability will become much easier as we are increasing its projectile speed. The combination of these buffs should make Gatecrasher a fearsome enemy!
Particle Beam: Damage Per Shot (Beam) (+44%), Damage Per Shot (Blast) (+4%), Reload Speed (3s → 2s)
Dev Note: Particle Beam is one of the first weapons where we decided to give players variability on shooting modes and how they play. However, there were some issues with the convenience of this weapon for the players. That’s why we’re reducing the Reload Speed from 3s to 2s in order to make sure you can start building your powerful shot and get into the fight faster! Plus, we’re adding some decent damage to the beam mode as well to make a more menacing weapon!
Repeater: Damage (+33%), Reload Speed (per bullet) (300ms → 200 ms), % of bullets in the Magazine to fire (15% → 25%)
Dev Note: Repeater has always been a decent one, but with the appearance of Revoker it started losing its popularity. Plus, it suffered more than its friend against the Mods. In order to make the gameplay withRepeater more convenient we’re not only slightly increasing its damage, but we’re making its Reload Speed faster! Check it out, it’s becoming a weapon you will have to take into account while fighting against!
Disruptor: Damage (+35%)
Dev Note: With this change we simply want to make sure that our old but gold weapons remain competitive in the new reality, where we have Mods, and new & strong Mechs and Weapons. We think Disruptor deserves a raise 😂 By the way, it pairs so well with the Gatecrasher that is also being buffed, you have to try it out 100%!! We call this setup “you can’t hide from me” XD
Hellfire: Damage Per Shot (another + ~20%)
Suppressor: Damage Per Shot (another + ~32%)
Howler: Damage Per Minute (+ ~22%)
Dev Note: After the first iteration of our rebalance we noticed that you showed great interest in Savants, which is very smart of you XD We’re really happy about that. Yet, some other weapons that we buffed still remain slightly out of your focus. That’s why we’re adding another bunch of stats to them, hoping that you will take a closer look at them 😉
➡️ What’s next?
We will announce the fourth and final stage of the rebalance 14 days in advance.
⚡️Looking Ahead: Wave 4 and Seasons
We appreciate your patience during this four-month process. We are now in the home stretch of Phase 1. Wave 4 will conclude our initial rebalance before we move into Phase 2: Seasons.
Starting in Spring 2026, the Season system will introduce temporary boosts for specific content subsets, ensuring the meta feels fresh every single month.
Check your hangars and prepare for a new way to play on February 9th!
You're complete scum! You're reusable whores! Damn whoever came up with this new mode! May everything burn up for you and you die quickly! May everyone around you die! May you die the most painful death! You're complete assholes!
2v2 mode - it was made to improve the game! Where's the improvement here?
You can only play for 10 rounds! And you have to pay for it with currency!
There are opponents of a higher level in the game!
There are also Freezers with new laser weapons - you did this so everyone would buy them! You're complete scum!!!
Now you have completely broken the game, FROM THE LAST NERF (DON'T CALL IT REBALANCE, IT'S JUST A LARGE-SCALE NERF ON ALL WEAPONS, AS YOU USUALLY DO WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING DISGUISED AS REBALANCE, A NERF IN DISGUISE) So much so that you can no longer play, and as if the weapons I used the day before, after the NERF REBALANCE. have become useless.. as always you have only done damage to the players, your incompetence is proving to be increasingly higher, STOP.. MECH ARENA HAS BECOME JUST A GIGANTIC PILE OF GARBAGE.. in 3 days I have suffered 80% of defeats, even if I have recent weapons. And some recent mechs are no longer of any use. NO GUYS, YOU CAN'T CONTINUOUSLY WEAKEN EVERYTHING LIKE THIS. YOU ARE A REAL MOUNTAIN OF INCOMPETENCE.
YES, ALL THE NERFS YOU'VE MADE, THESE LATEST ONES WERE THE WORST.
MECH ARNEA WILL NOT HAVE A LONG LIFE. The game is beautiful. IT COULD BE SUCCESSFUL. It deserves more, but the way it's being managed and the development time is so slow, they'll kill it. TOTAL INCOMPETENCE, just a scam... goodbye Mech Arena. You're not worthy of your developers. Paying for a game that gives you satisfaction is OK, but not for a game that has no logic and only returns frustration, especially when you see the FUCKING BOTS at the top.
Revoker being nerfed is actually good I have seen account with 3 meck with revokers, with this it will decrease the campers and those with invisibility meck to overuse it.

What good do you see in this? Do you know how much time it takes to upgrade a weapon like this? This is the stupidest comment I've ever seen. Or are you the developer of these changes? Ha, congratulations on your Darwin Award!
Wow, revoker doesn't need another nerf ffs, it's already weak now against the new beam weapon and stormracks, now it's going to be useless, stormracks are the weapon that needs to be nerfed, you have completely destroyed this game, what a joke
Porque tanto odio a las revoker, ya nerfearon a los mejores mech y ahora de nuevo con las armas que mejor se desempeñan, no me parece bien que sigan con esa tesitura es mas, yo gaste mucho dinero en subirlas y ahora ya casi ni sirven, deberian haber mejorados los mecha sin bajar las armas y mecha que estaban bien solamente deberian haber subido lo que a su criterio necesitaba subirse en vez de nerfear todo, ahora bien que van a hacer con las burrow ya las compre y las estoy subiendo con esfuerzo despues que las use 2 meses las van a nerfear? pues si es asi ya casi ni ganas tengo en seguir invirtiendo en tiempo y sobre todo en dinero, ya no tiene mucho sentido si a nuestro esfuerzo en gastar subirl todo a lo mejor para que un dia uds se levanten y nos nerfeen todo, no me parece justo. Ya mucha gente se esta yendo y no es bueno gente competitiva y otra cosa como puede ser que los boots son mas fuertes en todo con respecto al emparejamiento, Para pensar, no solo uds sino nosotros los jugadores, en seguir o buscar otro juego que si respete lo que compramos y que perdure en el tiempo.

Fr tho they are already normal nerf the storms or the Death Star cannon (borrow beam 12-16)
If you nerf a pay to acquire weapon or mech 10/2/030/40/50% you should refund the equivalent amount to players who purchased them in good faith. You're messing with peoples money.
Yes, refund my resources used to upgrade the revoker. Refund my resources and make it three stars again, or give me store credit and take them away from my account. You should make that an option otherwise it's theft. You literally just ran a revoker event...
Is this patch really for balance? Honestly, I didn't spend any money on this game. But other people spent a lot of money on this game, and out of all that money, they spent a lot of money upgrading ReVoker. Now, instead of nerfing ReVoker, I should've nerfed some of the cash weapons like Gemini and Kwasher and some mechs. This patch is really like the wrong one, and the majority of users are already looking at it negatively. And from buffing the beam type, I think buying a different beam and trying to upgrade it, which induced me to get paid for cash, so doing this patch also played a part. I think I better not do this patch
Like I mentioned in the post about the first rebalancing, where some of you went "Nah...it won't happen." They are doing to Revokers what they did to Disk Launchers. It is no longer their golden cow especially since it can now be purchased with in game currency. So they need to lower it's capacity and make other weapons (especially the P2W ones) shine.
on the flip side, I don't mind it. I'm kind of excited to see what the next meta weapon will be.

Don't worry. Gemini will be nerfed as soon as it is purchasable via in game currency. They are making good money on it currently, I'm sure. Even I bought a few.
