FFA has potential but I think the maps need to be expanded a bit more. They seem too cramped for me

[@SanjixGaming502]

That's the point they don't want campers in FFA

[@roddygo6]

It goes with the fast gameplay mech arena is about though, unlike war robots

[@hanmac3348]

@@SanjixGaming502 if they cared so much about campers they wouldn't have made rocket mortar. What could make someone more of a camper than sitting behind a wall at spawn the entire game? The ffa maps need to be a bit bigger

[@MechArenaOfficial]

Thank you for leaving a comment!

[@SanjixGaming502]

@Mech Arena Official thanks for making an amazing mode also when will M.D. get a buff? He is underwhelming for a support compared to the other three

[@litbrickpics]

THEY LISTENED 😄(maybe)!!! I saw the new update patch notes, and Oynx's ability is literally what I suggested!!!! I said there needs to be a mech with a built in weapon, like a giant missile racks, because gatecrasher literally has some, but they are just for looks! Onyx has that exact ability! 😃

[@zariftahmidshoeb3487]

You forgot a very important point for ffa. You can change mechs but you lose 1 kill every time you do that. This is a nice feature because it discourages players from changing mechs over and over just to get their best mech again; atleast to some extent. However it doesn’t prevent players from deliberately stepping into fire to lose that mech so as not to lose any kills. One other thing is that after all your other mechs are deployed ( or changed ), you have to use the last mech i.e you can’t change it to refill your mechs. But you can still deliberately step into fire to lose that mech which will replenish your mechs again.

[@brrtt]

So far FFA is a great experience for me, well balance in concept, but STALKERS with ARC TORRENT 12 is so OP in this mode, watch out!

[@MechArenaOfficial]

We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the new mode!

[@charmsotomango9805]

what is the game mode name😊

[@D4rk_Lum1nous]

Awesome game mode, it's only flaw is the Zephyrs imagine being against 9 Zephyrs, I think the spawn points need to have more distance from the main battlefield and from each other

[@PinxieShowOffical]

Is It the real mech arena?

[@tgunn2239]

I did just played that game mode first time and it was massively crazy.

[@Cyanoutthere]

Basic tips: whale as much as you can, also use Tengu and Orion cause the map is so small

[@R0n0do_plays]

FFA is fun, chaotic, and satisfying if you get #1 spot. I got it once with Guardian with missle rack 12/8 and it was the most satisfying thing I've done in a while.

[@MechArenaOfficial]

😍😍😍

[@Joker3130]

This FFA mode is awesome but you should also organize some clan wars/tournaments like CODM or PUBG or league of legends with atleast 1/5th of those prize money

[@MechArenaOfficial]

We appreciate you voicing the suggestion!

[@mecharena-rhino4120]

I like the ffa game mode But I think it would be fun to have bigger map alternatives for this mode. The current ones are super tight and that makes the pace of the game wild.

[@hanmac3348]

Yes they need to be bigger. It's way to cramped

[@MechArenaOfficial]

Thank you very much for your feedback! ✍

[@edwardfairbanks5758]

FFA is a great idea, but the maps are way too small for as many "players" are in the match. It also seems like they stacked the deck by filling the FFA matches with maxed out bots. I hope this isn't going to be replacing the tournaments we've all come to know and love.

[@memeboi3448]

Can you just cut the new weapons and mechs and make a actually balanced battle system? I am tired of being barely 3k and fighting 4ks or when i literally can't win against people with two max mechs while everything else is low level 🤬🤬🤬

[@kathpountney4164]

Thanku for putting life back into mech arena, I love th FFA, I can run amok and really "smack it to 'em". It's so much more fun this way. Expansion of maps would be nice but other than that.....LETS GO HURT SOMEONE 🤣 without th guilt. It's like a new lease on life.....see y'all in there peeps!

[@MechArenaOfficial]

What an awesome feedback 😀 Thank you!

[@CHOWDAHH]

SUGGESTION: since there is a potential with the right mech to get 20/30/etc+ kills in a row, for this game type and also others, now is the right time to add more killstreak rewards beyond 10 (godlike). It’s additional incentive to the player, and would be a cool flashback to HALO days: Killtrocity, Killtacular, Killionaire…….10 in a row killstreaks are not hard to achieve anymore

[@roddygo6]

I'm glad there's at least new maps! Even if they're only for FFA

[@boy3411]

Really fun mode but i think it would be much better if the bots were 6 star instead of max. Killing max bots are pretty harddd

[@alanjeffri7956]

I love the mode for sure ♥️♥️❣️❣️🥰🥰 But the problem is that the robot 🤖 enemies are so over powered, only that problem so pls fix them guys and keep it up.

[@vnkaushik1997]

To those that are unaware or just haven't tried it, go with a Lancer and Javelin Rack 8 in the FFA mode. As long as you manage to get to the centre of the map without dying, you'll be a beast. Topping the scores is easy after that.

[@nope3016]

This mode is great, mortar campers are completely unplayable on this mode since the game is so fast paced with players constantly eliminating each other making them hard to get kills, also without reinforcing teammates mortars can be easily countered by short range weapons and mechs Hope mech arena will improve this mode more in the future, I absolutely love this

[@jammer.jamie.]

Thanks for that! Now Imma make sure to switch out my Rocket Mortars with other weapons and maybe even my Javelins since the battle will be quick and those weapons take a while to cause damage....that and I won't have any teamsters to back me up anymore 😂

[@MechArenaOfficial]

We highly appreciate your comment! 🤗

[@brotherlevis8553]

I love this battle mode I have been saying for months that it was needed for Mech Arena.. the only problem I see is when you try to respawn your mechs... instead of choosing the spot where you respawn... it should be chosen automatically to make it easier and faster to respawn.

[@Danielandradedance]

I disagree. There is strategy to where you spawn,

[@brotherlevis8553]

@@Danielandradedance yes but many times you click on the spot and it-s not longer available and then the game spawns another mech in another spot.... so that-s a little frustratring.

[@litbrickpics]

I just played FFA, and it is now my favorite mode! 😎👍I thought cramped maps would get annoying, but there are so many little tunnels and secret places that it makes it more "tactical" in a sense. Keep it up!! And make some of the other weapons available with in game currency please (the new event you guys are doing is awesome, please make more!!)😄

FFA is great idea! Maps need to be bigger then this .... just got spawned and someone hit me from the back.... or the spawning point needs to be away from a Mech? Don’t even have time adjust the Mech to a really good starting point.

[@BimalRanabhat007]

i think you should give at least 10 Acon to the kill leader every game. That will be more interesting to play game then just be kill leader for nothing, that title will mean nothing,

[@davidrequena6482]

So, you are going to also put beacon capture as a game mode in the tournaments? Because it is the game mode that appears the most in trailers and videos, but mechs that are good on those maps are not all that good in tournaments.

[@Its_me_Stolas]

So far it is okay. I mean I played like 15 matches and had around 3 or 5 maxed opponents (which is not that big of a deal, tier 4-5 upgrades can deal with it). The only problem for now is spawning. Sometimes I got denied. Don't know why exactly, because after getting denied, I could have chosen the same point with no one around. Those precious seconds of destroying other mechs were gone. At least skill allowed to get in top 3 throughout all 15 matches

[@Ramioterapta]

Many wanted the FFA mode for Custom matches, not tournaments!

[@MechArenaOfficial]

We will be forwarding this feedback to the team! Thank you 🤗

[@SumAsianBoy09]

Very good. The only problem i see is new players being unable to participate in tournaments cuz it's expensive to get the 5th mech slot.

[@Its_me_Stolas]

With all honesty, this is a nice break away from 2-3 matches of 5v5/2v2. However the time when 5v5 got increased timer making it longer, it was more intresting and funnier. With current 5v5 you can loose because of your teammate who has spare mechs got caught. No team, only yourself to blame for mistakes

[@BEAST-gv4dl]

FFA is amazing, but I hope it becomes available for quick matches

[@dominus2184]

I like what you guys are trying to do. But right now, it's ridiculous. The spawn points are too close to each other, we get zapped every 3 sec, maps need to be expanded. There is no room for breathers. Unless we got Fully upgraded mechs to plough through there is no surviving

[@MechArenaOfficial]

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback! 🤗

[@whitneykeller264]

I have a tip for everyone when you play a tournament take all the weapons off ur mechs but use a mech that’s ability does damage like killshot then you will have bad people fighting you

[@goblinslayer3957]

I'm from India, This Game is Fun and Fair. Its not totally Free to Play, Its not totally Pay to Win either, Its somewhere in between, Which is Great. Even after 5 months, I'm having plenty of fun with my 4 * Hangar Mechs.

[@killerking985]

Wow the new game mode is just too awesome to even describe it

[@Miles-b558]

It’s kinda scary since your on your on and becoming the kill leader makes you an even bigger target meaning the bigger target you the more enemies you will have

[@Brei.]

I want you to put in mechs in the bot that you need to clear achievements. For example, redox, shadow, panther, guardian, etc… And not stalker, Orion and Aegis, etc… There are usually only specific mechs in the bot mechs so doing achievements is a pain so I want you to change that in the FFA mode. Thank you.

[@hazique777]

I think the dev should rework old mechs achievement to not only kill specific mech but specific mech type

right… It is a pain…

Freaking awesome guys. This game is so hyped. 5v5 was mad now this?!? Haha! Top marks 💯 Now we have clans…. Let’s see some faction wars; and strategic team play missions.

@@TheGoldcolor frrr

[@diegop.472]

to get started. They put bot hangars at full R6 lvl.7, something inconsistent, to be a tournament. Not to mention that each kill does not recover that amount of HP that they say and with Stalker you don't even notice the extra HP that it is supposed to recover. The idea of ​​the game mode is good, but they implemented it in the WORST possible way. From what I've seen, if they don't balance the hangar power they're putting on the bots, this will end up making people see no point in upgrading their hangars, which will end up causing people to leave (including various P2W).

[@Tank-ik8vo]

Honestly in my experience adding the strong bots in FFA is such a good idea, it solved the problem about strong players dominating the tournament leaderboard and also solved the problem about Mechs having to kill legendary or weak Mechs like support Mechs having to find Brickhouse and/or Brickhouse having to find Paragon And one of my unique experiences in there is that players will most likely ignore each other because they're too busy trying to survive from strong bots coming in their way

[@Koofumhead]

I enjoyed playing this mode, I would love it if you had no player tags revealing your location. (Except the kill leader). It's instant chaos, which is understandably too much for some players. Plus campers with artillery and snipers don't like it. They probably hate having to rearrange their mech loadouts for an occasional game. I resent campers but I get the issue. It's worth playing though, and once it's optimized, and the other maps included, it'll be the most popular mode.

This is going to get oily. The ffa maps are chaotic and cramped as I got shot in the back more than ever from random computers across the intergalactic map but if you can find your death stroke it has potential. with everyone in the same area and no real cover anywhere a few tweaks to stage design would fix that and be so much better. Perhaps Should have this pop in twice a week like in the middle of the tournament say on wed and sat or so just to give it a switch up surprise release as opposed to running it all week and burning you out quickly. you get tired of loosing because teammates suck and coms turning in one spot waiting to be shot as the enemy takes control or wipes everyone without effort overall I like the challenge as it forces you into the action, killing any chance of campers and giving everyone fair chance to improve on an independent level. 7/10
