❗Our new Progress System, the Gear Hub, is now available for everyone! Let’s take a look at what it brings to Mech Arena.
The Gear Hub is split into 8 Tiers, which must be unlocked one by one. Each Tier contains a variety of Mechs and Weapons, which you can acquire using Credits or A-Coins, or through in-app purchases. Acquiring them will earn you Tier Stars. The amount you get will correspond to the Rank of the Mech or Weapon and you’ll also get one Tier Star per Rank increase. Once you've earned a set number of Tier Stars, the next Tier will unlock.
The further you progress through the Tiers, the more Tier Stars you’ll need to unlock the next Tier. Only the Tier Stars earned from content in your highest unlocked Tier count towards the next Tier.
You can still obtain, and use, Mechs and Weapons from a locked Tier via Shop Offers or as Rewards from Events. Just remember that the Tier itself will remain locked, even if you have obtained some of its items.
Don't worry, Mechs and Weapons you’ve already acquired will remain in your Inventory and you can continue using them. The Tier you’ll start in depends on which Mechs and Weapons you already have and their Rank. Any Mechs and Weapons you do not currently have can be obtained through the Gear Hub once you unlock the corresponding Tier.
With the introduction of the Gear Hub, we've standardized the A-Coin costs of obtaining and increasing the Rank of Light, Medium and Heavy Energy Mechs, bringing them all in line with Medium Energy Mechs. We've also made 12 Mechs and 38 Weapons available to obtain with Credits or A-Coins. Start unlocking those Tiers and pick up that Mech or Weapon you've had your eye on!
Finally, we've added Gear Hub Objectives that will help you get used to the new system and act as a guide. You can find them in a new tab alongside Daily and Weekly Objectives. Note: Daily & Weekly Events now have a new title - Daily & Core.
Now, how can you access the Gear Hub? Simply tap on the 'Gear Hub' button in your Hangar, right where the 'Inventory' button used to be.

Let us know what you think about this new system. Stay tuned for more exciting updates and until then, see you in the Arena!
This is great, if this can be solved, then I actually like the Gear Hub. It might take a bit more resources to level up but the positive is that most of the mech and weapons are now accesible even for palyers that can't afford them with real world cash.
Creators continuously reduces the resources of A coins and they opened all of those by using A coins but the resources of A coin is in the shell of peanuts well done...! Good job creators! I uninstalled it. I'm almost reached to unlock breakhouse and i continuously saving A coins to buy disc 12 now this like dream. Thank you creator....! That's why me and my friend uninstalled this game today. Thank You..!
I don't understand why it doesn't give me credit for the things that I've already done/obtained before GearHub came out. I play every single day and generally enjoy this game. However it feels as though I'm being punished for being a player before the GearHub came out. It would be better if you revert back to the original settings that we all enjoyed or at least give credit for what's already been accomplished.
So new gear quests. Weird, I have all but one of the tier one weapons, saw no need for it when I have a 4 already. Yet I do not get credit in the have 2 tier one weapons quests. So your telling me having 7/8 is not enough to count for 2?
This is not the only place you do this. We get what we want and enough to advance a tier, yet we have to buy everything to get quests done. Why?
And will we get our resources back because of this? or just get another gear shaft? I know give us something totally useless, like another skin, that will help me. I can always kill people faster when they stop shooting cause they can not see me or to see me better.
also,the gear hub's weapons are too expensive to players that don't actually spend money on this game.almost every weapon cost about 3000 a coins,that is too expensive.
I think it is good as I am a non pay to win player (whos is unable to pay to win as I am too young but was able to as my friend bought stuff for me but i am no longer able to) and I missed the quest for many mechs and weapons such as the shotgun 8. Now everything is much more accesible like the tengu mech that I wanted. This makes the game much better for people who are either too young to pay to win or want to play the game for a fun pastime and do not want to pay money. Even though it has its flaws (not enough sources to get A coins. Also everyone using the same build all the way until u are maxed out)I think the pros outweigh the cons. Thank u plarium.
Also u can make it that you get a rewards from ur performance while playing a game.( Forexample if you get a killstreak of 5 you get 5a-coins and 500credits or if u capture 5 control points u can get a-coins and credits) Also make that u can get a coins by setting personal records.
Can u also add a mobility update that increases the speed of all mechs and also add healing in all game modes.
I also recognise that plarium is trying very hard to make the game better. I think we should not rant about the faults about the game.

Can add flamethrowers to the game and make them accessible npt through real Madrid ney coz everything thats new and cool is only accessible through real money
Good thing I already have all the mechs, weapons and implants I want. Since the gear hub is uselees and I cant understand it, and since greedy Plarium now made it costly to change implants.
So from now on I will only work on the things I got. Good plan Plarium for losing money.
Dummy it's the best thing platinum has realeased since the day they made mech arena
they should reduce the price of miniguns in the dear hub. litterly a minigun 6 is like 9500 A coins. It should be like 2000 or 3000 A coins at least. please change that
The gear hub is literally, awful. You managed to create an update to make the game better and supposedly "make all items accessible" (seriously, don't make me laugh), making the game actually much worse and far less accessible. I lost access to things I could purchase for A-coins previously. It is a clear money grab. The only way to complete the tiers is to spend butt loads of cash, which is just plain greedy. The items are so outrageously priced that you would have to play every day for the next 5 years to be able to afford a meager pittance, to just make rank 3 mechs. Let's be generous and say you could do 1200 A-coins a month as a FTP player. So for the autocannon 6, have fun saving for the next year...leveling no weapons or mechs in the mean time.
I am a spending player and have put several hundred dollars in the game. I don't have a problem with that, I like supporting a game I like, and I do like it. But holding me at gun point to spend money to advance, which is what this is, is BS and is not going to make things enjoyable. No one wants to but mechs they don't want or need. "Here, be sure you buy shadow for 1200 a-coins, even though you have 2 better scouts. Oh, and by the way, make sure you rank it up to and waste your precious A-coins on something you will never lose.
I have a dozen mechs at least and only cleared tier 3. Honestly, I need 5, I have the 5 I like. I am not going to spend 1200 Acoins on shadow when I have redeemer, surge, and Zephyr. And you also want me to spend A-coins to rank a mech up I won't use for a pittance. Seriously, check your greed.
Mechs and weapons unlocked due to progress in the game, are now locked for you to buy. 😠The Gear Hub is a mockery of player progress, it should only be done for new mechs and weapons.

Plarium, quit the Gear Hub or players will quit the game. Game improvements and novelties should not affect the progress of players who invest time.
While I understand that the developers of this game must make money, it appears that you folks are getting a bit greedy. Eliminating the 400 Acoin bonus in the crate event was uncalled for, as was charging for removing implants. Further, the hub events are structured so that players must waste time and resources playing and upgrading mechs & weapons that we no longer want or use. For exampe, I stopped using tier 1 and 2 mechs and weapons after the first week. Going back to these would cost time, credits, and Acoins without a signifigant return on this investment. While I realize that there are players with more money than good sense, at thiis rate you will price the game out of the reach of quite a few people.
Gear Hub made all the Content that was previously available only for the in-game purchase now available for Resources!
Yes we appreaciate that, but, this new method is confusing as I also finds the old method was a lot eaisers where I can qickly filter out and sort to study the options I have more clearly
I spent some of my money and I think it needs more money to upgrade to tier 3. I am new btw. I can't afford that much money and time to upgrade and buy every single gear. This game should be in top tier of P2W. It literally gives you less than 1000 a coins a month and upgrading and buying costs are way to high to afford that. I thinkk you should provide more resources or lower the prices.
All weapons are NOT obtainable for all players. A disruptor 6 is $94 USD. All mechs are priced way over the amount that they had originally been. It's impossible to get acoins to buy the items and the other items cost large amounts of real money which means it's not accessible for many players. Great job Plarium.
The brand new Weapons are available for in-game purchase for some time, but later, their price will be for Resources!

The system was built in a way to make it more or less equal for all. Yeah, that's not that good that your Hangar has a lot of powerful Mechs, but you were placed in Tier 3. Nevertheless, right now, you have a perspective to acquire any Content in the game!
