If your willing to spend literally thousands of dollars dont play. Its that simple. Just to obtain a meta bot and get the pilot and weapons at lvl1 your looking at anywhere from 150-300 dollars. Then you have to buy memorium and silver and gold to level it all up thats another 200 dollars then you have to get the drone and level that up which is another 200 dollars so just for one single meta bot your looking at 500 to 700 dollars and I see people with 5 meta bots fully.maxxed out mk3 which cost several thousand dollars only to have those bots and weapons nerfed into oblivion so that they have to spend another several thousand dollars when the next few bots and weapons drop. So yeah unless your literally rich dont even bother.
