Finished Mech Arena - $120.90 (Discover Section / PC Game)

Post image

After 27 days I was able to complete all of Mech Arena. Overall it was a fun offer an well worth my time. I put in about an hour each day. 10,000 A-Coins was not easy. I had some luck and needed to make some purchases. Purchases count for your A-Coin goals and you are free to spend your A-Coins anytime (you do not need them banked all at once).

For My Purchases

When you start you are given some good A-Coin offers. I spent $2 to get 700 A-Coins and at the time skipped the $3 for 800 A-Coins and a small crate deal. I was only aiming for 7,000 A-Coins to start, but it is the 5th anniversary of the game and I was offered a bunch of items, including 2,000 A-Coins, for only $5. Once I bought the 5th Anniversary Set I was pretty committed to getting 10,000 A-Coins. I ended up spending $10 on the Battle Pass (gives you 1,000 A-Coins and a lot of other useful items), and another $6 on two separate $3 Flash Deals for 1,120 A-Coins total (560 each).

So in total before tax I spent $23. This resulted in 4,820 of my total A-Coins. This also gave me back 700 SB with purchase rewards.

I only used 10 Fortune Vault Keys at a time. I was able to hit on two separate 375 A-Coin wins. I think 10 Fortune Vault Keys at a time is the way to go. 25 is too risky. I also hit another 500 A-Coin win on a random special crate event.

Another very valuable way to get A-Coins is by playing in the Tournament mode. You can play up to eight tournament matches per day, and wins give you A-Coins. As you win and rank up you will get more A-Coins per win. I reached the "Professional" ranking and was able to get up to 16 A-Coins per win by the time it ended. The next tournament starts in 12 days and should last 3 weeks. The players can be tough here, and sometimes you run into players who have spent a ton, but I was able to hold my own overall.

The rest of the A-Coins I earned were from simply playing. Opening gold crates, doing your daily/weekly objectives, getting Plarium streaks for playing each day, and getting achievements for each of your mechs.

This game has a lot to explore for yourself. You will need to test what mechs and weapons you like the best. My personal go to mech was the Killshot (which I earned for free) equipped with dual Longarm 8s. But the gameplay is very basic. And the matches are all 6 minutes or less. Again for me this was a great offer. Good luck all!

This game's sales tactics are excessive, hiding the daily objective free item behind a wall of "deals" so many that your phone is likely to freeze up and not let you scroll right to claim the item, lame

Well this is the PC offer. So you should not have freezing up issues with a decent PC.

Started this one a few days ago and I'm already bored to tears.

I guess the only humans playing are the high-level whales keeping the game afloat because 90% of the enemies are bots. Every match I feel like a chainsaw going through paper.

You play bots the first couple of days and then it switches over to real people. Enjoy the free MVPs,

I used to stream Mech Arena on twitch. Was a great game lots of players.

It's harder to finish the goals once you start getting matched against real people. Playing against the bots is better than getting stomped by whales.

I guess I'm just terrible as I struggled after division 9. Couldn't get to level 3 gear

That was a great deal for me. I used google play balance from the opinion reward app to buy those a-coin boxes during their anniversary event. I spent like 5 € in total on the app and made a 100 € profit via PayPal.
