📜 🙂 This compilation unveils Content acquiring and upgrading aspects along with nuances of how the Tiers work.
And if you have more questions, please, leave them in the comments below ⬇️
No. A player’s Tier does not affect how they are matched with other players.
The process for acquiring new Content will remain the same: it will typically be available from an Event Crate Rush first.
The new Content will be assigned a Tier, reflecting its value. Acquiring it from the Event will contribute towards unlocking the following Tier.
On the occasion that the Content is not featured in an Event, it will be made available from the Market.
All Mechs and Weapons in the game at the time of the Market’s release will be available for Credits or A-Coins (except the Cryo Javelin 6, which is only available through the Referrals System).
Recently released Content within the Market will require an In-App Purchase, until it is made available for in-game Resources at a later date.
In some cases, yes. To unlock Tiers, you'll need to collect a certain number of Tier Stars through acquiring and upgrading Mechs and Weapons, and there's no way to skip Tiers.
Veteran players may find that they have most of the Tiers already unlocked. However, should a player lack the necessary Tier Stars to unlock a particular Tier, they will need to acquire or upgrade Content available in the previous Tier before they can do so.
Note that unlocking an item in the Progress Path (i.e. earning enough XP to be able to acquire it) is not the same as acquiring it (i.e. paying the Credit or A-Coin cost for it, or obtaining it through an In-App Purchase). If you have acquired the Content already, it will remain with you.
The A-Coin cost of increasing a Mech’s Rank will be standardized, matching the current costs for Medium-Energy Mechs.
As such, the cost for Lancer, Shadow, Tengu and M.D. will decrease, and the cost for Paragon, Puma, Guardian, Arachnos, Panther, Redox, Gatecrasher and Onyx will increase.
The Credit cost of Leveling up Mechs and Weapons will remain the same, as will the A-Coin cost of increasing Weapons’ Ranks.
We'll continue to calibrate the number of Events, their formats (as you might've seen in the game lately) and prize pools to ensure that your progress through the game remains rewarding and fun.
Any Mech or Weapon you've acquired in any way (whether it was from the Progress Path, an Event Crate Rush, any other Event, or from a Shop Offer) can be upgraded and used in Battles, even if it's in a locked Tier.
As mentioned above, this only counts if you have acquired the item in question (i.e. paid the A-Coin or Credit cost, or made an In-App Purchase).
We plan to add Content of a variety of Grades in the future.
Mechs and Weapons within the same Tier won’t necessarily have identical stats. They will, however, stand alongside other Content in their Tier, and will be suited to that Tier’s intended stage of game progression of that Tier.
Every Tier contains both Mechs and Weapons. They're just displayed in different Tabs.
If, for example, you wanted to gain access to a Mech in Tier III, you could very well upgrade Weapons in Tier II to do so.
The Shop offers you options relevant to you and your Hangar. Probably your friends have more powerful Content
Thanks for taking the time to reply :)
I have the strongest hanger out of my friends. It's a shame as I would consider more purchases, but not at the lower level. Good luck with preparing the new update, thanks again for your time :)
Wow! I never thought you'd ruin your own game, but we have to believe that day has arrived… Seriously, you're going to force every player in Mech Arena to play with it's 2 completely rotten and incompetent Mechs: Slingshot and Puma or even Shadow?? For real it is better that you abolish your idea of the new progression system (I have already mentioned some important points in the Mechs and Weapons Rank upgrades channel), because why remove access to Mechs already acquired by players in the old system by putting tiers because of the new system, so players have to use their precious A-coins and Credit that they would normally use to buy super mechs like Surge. Well no, instead they will have to use their money to upgrade these 2 Mech Slingshot and Puma and more.
After all, I don't understand why put this system in place because the game is supposed to be about balancing the powers anyway, right? So why not keep access to Mechs already acquired and the others that are in the same tier as some Mechs already acquired (which in my case is Panther) will not be unlocked until we reach the required stars (Like for example Zephyr)? Right @CrystalDrew?
By the way, here is a proof, you see this awesome hangar? Because of this update, everything I acquired like my favorite Mech Panther, I will have to waste my credits and my A-coins on completely useless Mech to get access to it again because given its power it will be in high tiers obviously.
Also, this hangar I got it without pay to win and not even for the Voltaic RPG 14 (This one I got in a rush on the crates like the famous Tengu). So it's not like it's impossible to progress without paying, right?
Did you saw that even with my hangar that I got without paying, I'm still able to have 3 Mechs on the podium?
Thank you for replying me CrystalDrew and considering my opinions. And we'll talk again soon...

Hello! Thanks a lot for your comprehensive feedback on the upcoming Update, be sure it will be considered. Here are some comments I want to leave regarding your thoughts.
I'm not sure if I got it correctly, but you mentioned, "why remove access to Mechs already acquired by players in the old system ", ''why not keep access to Mechs already acquired" - all the already acquired Content will stay available for you in the same way it is right now. Besides, you will be able to acquire Mechs and Weapons from the locked Tiers via Events and Shop Offers (learn more here).
Answering your question, "why put this system in place", it was mentioned in both QnA (1 and 2) and the video, it would help us to seamlessly add new Content of different Rarity and make the rest of already released Content available to acquire anytime (not during Events or via Special Offers like not).
In my opinion, New Progress System will make the game more structured (the Hangars will be more balanced, which might help the Matchmaking system perform better) as well as more underrated Mechs and Weapons may be considered by the majority. Besides, it was stated in the Update Preview that players won't have to acquire and upgrade everything within a Tier, and one or two Mechs/Weapons will be enough.
Yes you understood correctly because my question is that after the update will we be able to play with our same current Mechs without having to replace them with others temporarily to be able to reach the number of stars required to unlock tiers.
I think you are contradicting yourself when you explain to me that we will still have access and be able to play with our Mechs already acquired after the update and when you explain it in the Q&A, right?
Thank you for replying and here is my player ID for if one day you want do so et battle in the Arena with me :) ID: 49286949
I disapointed that i do not get community contest information like times and dates started and ends
And that specialization spree's need real money to participate in that event, same with day 5 in the derby event which requires player to spend real money on some lame token that is way too much
Designer panhandlers is what free to play games reminds me of
anyone esle have this problem ...I have talked to about 20+ players ingame and since last update Player (TAARGET LOCK) not working, and that AI BOT are locking and killing at like 95% Rates.....Also I had had several player complaining about AI BOT shooting thru walls or around corners where there is no way you can be hit and randomly being killed....If Anyone is Interested My Lawyer has a Multi Million Dollar Lawsuit against STEAM, If you would be interested in a Class Action Suit against Plarium for FRAUD and get your Hundreds or thousands of Dollar Back let me know. The Game CHEATS with its AI BOTs We already have dozen of Videos showing the Cheats by AI BOTs.....So please record your battle with your Phones or Cameras, and Contact me about this. Thanks Tim
