Played this game for about a year and a half and decided it was finally time to take an extended break from it. Managed to get to Tier VIII in the gear hub as free to play but just got frustrated with how many of the mechs and weapons I'd like to try out are still paid-only despite having been introduced several months or even a year ago - repeaters, cryo launchers, eclipse, hemlock, etc. I might come back someday, but for now I just feel like I'd be grinding with no clear rewards in sight.
Yea the grind as f2p is REAL. Very hard to get stuff on my f2p account. I mean it’s very possible to build a competitive hangar with most of the top stuff, but it’s going to take a looooong time 😅
@@gurudevnayak7664 they definitely know. They just choose to do things this way. I dont know entirely know why since they wont tell us and I dont have the data. I just assume its part of their business objectives.
Amazing weapon. It's going to replace the helix rack completely but we all saw that coming since guidance didn't have a strong legendary after the Disc Launcher nerf. They set this up nicely. Good luck replacing your Helix/DL Implants for 4,000 Acoins or $25 each!! 🤣
Looking forward getting this one in the Fall.... of 2027 most likely :D Without the cheap deals you're kinda forced to stick to the same weapons/mechs, sadly. Game is just too expensive and they dont seem to welcome small/occasional spenders much.
Yea I can understand. I still have lots of gaps in my f2p account. It is entirely possible to play and i still have a lot i need. But I do think it can be competitive. Just take long for the things you want. Bummer for sure....
@@scape211 but your eclipse is huge in the f2p account, most wont have that, and getting a top tier mech from a reward is virtually impossible nowadays.
@@sintdm1634 Yes I understand. But I know im not the only one. Most accounts i have fought have at least one item if not more that are either paid or that they have won in playoffs. Im quite sure playoffs for earlier accounts have lesser competition so i know others who have won things like nomad and seeker. If i didnt have eclipse I would likely be running killshot to sub in. But its hard to justify spending the extra 4k acoins to make the point and slow down progress. But I understand what you mean fs.
This actually looks like fun. Do you this a better Helix or a Disk Launch v2? The Panther and 16 looks good. I assume they'll be a 12. Would you run this on something like a Surge?
Is spending on missile rack 12 and getting the second copy will be a good choice in the current meta when you have legendary radius implant at 5t level and legendary pilot also is it worth it
Savant can work indoors as this video helps to show. It’s not going to be as good as outdoor options and I still think helix will do slightly better outside give. How it functions. That said, the savant is definitely better indoors and I believe it can hold its own decently outside. Just better for an all rounder style of play.
Well this is a legendary I expect. I can see the clear upgrades from Javelins to Helix, and from Helix to Savant. Superrior targeting with every new generation. Disc launshers are just incredibly weird guided weaponry. Same goes for pod gun in barrage category
Love your vids!! So informative!! The reason why I still play… Now I can replace my discs with this… If you have time could you please review mixed weapons class in these day of age with pilots. I made a vid with surge+ember+RG16 that works for me but I’m not quite end game yet. Any feedback back would be great!! Thanks again for making these videos, you’re awesome!
Hope you can tell to the devs about the freezing stuff while we are in the battle. It's very common this past few weeks now. Its freezing when we go back to the battle we definitely dead 😢.
Yea I hope some will be for credits. We do have some weapons that can unlocked with credits like some of the frags, embers, grav beams, and chainguns. But certainly most of the top stuff is behind acoins 😢
Mister Scape211 Sir ; I've gotta budget like everyone else , An with all of the offers given to us ( daily ) Do you think it'd be worth spending the Xtra $$ to get this weapon when it's 1st released in the Event Crate rush ? What I mean is ; I'm not new to this game been playing it mostly to burn time in line @ the bank or other places like Doctors office waiting to be seen .. Since 2020 .. So I'm not completely immersed in this game but DO want to spend to get the best Offer I can get . I do have all the Javilins an recently the 8 power lvl of the Helix I Was about to purchase the the16 power lvl Helix & the better guided weapon 16power lvl "Storm" as well An now this weapon Has appeared making me wonder which would be the Best bang for my buck .. Helix , Storm or this new guided weapon Savant .. Do you think it would be Better to purchase this weapon when it Comes out in the Spcial Crates or Event Crate Rush ? Or wait even longer for the it to appear in the Flash Deals ?? I'm not in no big hurry to purchase anything but do want the best deal Spending a lot all @ once to get the HIGHER Leveled Savant instead of Grinding out a Few bits at a time till I get enough BluePrints to level it up at a snails pace Would it cost MORE to do it that way or Blow a wad of cash to get it instantly Already leveled up in the Event Crates ?
if you mean the storm racks, those are very good. Generally speaking they are S tier for a good amount of people when thinking of end game. So if you get an offer for the Storm Rack 12s, those would be better than the Savant imo. Also we only have a 8 and 16 currently for the Savant. The 8 is ok, but the 16 is better and Im not sure if the 12 (if/when it comes out) will be best given how strong medium mechs are. So saying all that, if you got a good offer for a SR12, i would go for that first. Hope that helps!
@@scape211 true what I was thinking about is the fact that it as a high chance of targeting u alone in 2v2 and if you're in the open it's even harder to dodge
@@ash_one_vortexgameing fair point too : less target so less chance to spread out damage. I didnt really test this in 2v2, but i think you may be right
That will be more ideal for real players. Maybe it’s just me but AI seems to shrug off the blind affect. Not entirely but it doesn’t seem to stop them the same way it does players. Very annoying…
Its more leaning to DL mechanic rather than Helix so its supposed to be compared with DL rather than with Helixes. I might be wrong but I think thats the main reason why Discs got nerfed, they were OP and Savant would need to be even more OP in order for players to buy it. If they made Savant stronger than Discs before nerf, Savant would be waay too strong and unbalanced. Now after Discs got nerfed, Savant is better but not unbalanced. Is this good for P2W? Hell YES, Is this good for F2P? Hell NO. Is this good for greedy devs pocket HELL YEEEAAAAHHHH
I was a mech arena f2p player from 2020 about 4 years I've played the game, But due to their recent updates my device is no longer compatible 😢 HEARTBROKEN
Heyy scape, nice to see you again I would like to see some vids of your f2p battle logs, i see that u have a ember 12 + 8 on eclipse. One more thing, can you please check out my hangar and tell what should I do next, I feel like I should get Orion with em 12s.

I quit and so did my cousin, you won't be back and your bank account will thank you. Spend on something else the game people don't understand.
i love how versatile this weapons seems, you can do the same things traditional guided weapons can but you're not forced to sit back
Bro I feel like a guided missile rack lol
@@Guruprasadv16 damn dude are you alright?
This is fun.
That's exactly what i wanted to know, if we can use it in small maps, this is the first guided weapon that makes me wanna get it asap.
Booo

Are there implants for the savant? I got the savant 8 I love it. It reminds me of of DLs and helix had a baby
Yes I show my build in the beginning using the best implants.
Looking forward getting this one in the Fall.... of 2027 most likely :D

Hey Scape, what would a generally good f2p late game hangar (around 10 to 11sp) look like to you?
What about the target lock. Does the enemy get alerted when you're about to fire?
This actually looks like fun. Do you this a better Helix or a Disk Launch v2? The Panther and 16 looks good. I assume they'll be a 12. Would you run this on something like a Surge?
Ahhhhhh I'm just waiting for the Savant 12!!! Need it for my Stalker/Hemlock aha
Is spending on missile rack 12 and getting the second copy will be a good choice in the current meta when you have legendary radius implant at 5t level and legendary pilot also
is it worth it
I am looking for a replacement for helix as it is not viable in closed maps and has huge lock on times. How does savant do vs helix?
Savant can work indoors as this video helps to show. It’s not going to be as good as outdoor options and I still think helix will do slightly better outside give. How it functions. That said, the savant is definitely better indoors and I believe it can hold its own decently outside. Just better for an all rounder style of play.

Bro should I buy Panther or killshot or orion
Panther of course
Which implant were you planning to use on Panther? (I guess it wasnt't supposed to be Lancer Jump Distance)
Oh sorry I forgot that the picture still had that in it from when I played with lancer previously. It was just the cooldown one. Fairly standard.
Love your vids!! So informative!! The reason why I still play… Now I can replace my discs with this…

Thanks again for making these videos, you’re awesome!
Yes, I will be using it.
Just waiting for the price to drop lol
I'll wait to get it, but this is definitely one u need a second weapon equipped
I got super lucky and got this day before yesterday!
Hope you can tell to the devs about the freezing stuff while we are in the battle. It's very common this past few weeks now. Its freezing when we go back to the battle we definitely dead 😢.
Hope this is for credits they value credits only for upgrades
Yea I hope some will be for credits. We do have some weapons that can unlocked with credits like some of the frags, embers, grav beams, and chainguns. But certainly most of the top stuff is behind acoins 😢
@@scape211 Yeah man like they r just keep bringing in mechs and weapons ignoring what we want which is giving us ways to get them
Reminds me of the Halo Needler
anyone else?
Try it on the Acropolis map, that would be the real indoor test

The 12 could be good with hemlock
The 2v2 guided weapon from hell
Yea I could see this being good in 2v2. However with all the various obstacles in 2v2 maps I think there will be decent counter play yoo

so Savant is just perfected javs and helix
