Stop Being Broke in Mech Arena: My Messy Journey to Riches (and How You Can Too!)

If you've been following my ramblings for a while, you might remember The Great Griffin Debacle of 2023. For those who missed it: basically, I saved up every single Credit I had for months, bought a shiny new Griffin, upgraded it to max, and then immediately got absolutely melted by a guy in a Cerberus who clearly hadn't slept in three days.

I was broke, my mech was mid, and I was eating digital ramen for weeks.

But! I learned from my mistakes. Over the last year, I've gone from a resource-hoarding mess to a somewhat disciplined resource ninja. I'm not saying I'm rich enough to buy everything instantly (let's be real, Plarium would love that), but I never have to stress about affording an upgrade anymore.

So, grab your coffee (or energy drink, no judgment), sit back, and let's talk about how to farm Coins and Credits in Mech Arena without losing your mind. Here are my personal, slightly quirky tips.

---

1. The "Coffee & Dailies" Ritual ☕

Okay, this sounds boring, but hear me out. Consistency is key. I know, I know, "grinding" sounds like a chore. But I've gamified it for myself.

Mech Arena Hack Free Coins and Credits mod apk Every morning, while my coffee is brewing (takes about 3 minutes), I hop into Mech Arena and knock out my Daily Missions. Just three matches. That's it.

Here's the trick: Don't just play random modes. Look at the missions. If there's a bonus for playing Team Deathmatch, play Team Deathmatch. If they want you to deal damage with a specific weapon type, equip it even if it's not your meta loadout.

• Coins: You get a decent chunk just for logging in and playing.
• Credits: The daily mission rewards are the steady heartbeat of your economy.

My Quirk: If I miss a day, I have to do five pushups. It sounds silly, but nothing motivates me to log in like not wanting to do pushups before work. Try it!

2. Dismantle the Junk (Yes, Even the "Cute" Ones) 🗑️

This was the hardest lesson for me. I am a hoarder. I have a drawer full of old phone cables I haven't used since 2018. Naturally, this translated into the game.

I kept every Common and Rare part "just in case." I had a graveyard of Sheldon parts taking up space in my inventory.

Stop it.

If you aren't actively using a Common or Rare Mech, dismantle the parts.

• Common parts turn into Coins.
• Rare/Epic parts can turn into Credits or specific upgrade materials.

Holding onto a Common Sheldon chassis isn't going to help you win Clan Wars. Scrap it. Turn that junk into upgrade fuel for your Cerberus or Hades. Think of it like spring cleaning, but with lasers.

3. The A-Pass: To Buy or Not to Buy? 🎫

I get asked this all the time in the Discord. "Is the A-Pass worth it?"

My honest answer? Yes, but only if you play enough to finish it.

In the beginning, I bought it and only got to tier 30. Felt like throwing money away. Now, I treat it like a Netflix subscription. If I know I'm going to be busy with work or life for a month, I skip it. But if I know I'm going to be grinding, I grab it.

The Credit rewards in the paid track are significantly higher. It basically pays for itself in Credits if you complete it, plus you get the skin (which makes your mech look 10% faster, scientifically proven... okay, maybe not, but it feels true).

4. Events Are Where the Big Checks Are 💰

Regular matches are your day job. Events are your side hustle.

Plarium runs events constantly. Sometimes it's a special game mode, sometimes it's a leaderboard challenge. I used to ignore these because I thought, "I'm not good enough to place top 10."

Wrong. You don't need to be top 10 to get rewards. Just participating and hitting the lower tiers of the event ladder usually nets you a nice bag of Coins or a few Credits.

Personal Anecdote: During the last "Snowdown" event, I was having a terrible day. I kept losing. But I kept playing just to hit the participation milestone. Ended up getting enough Credits to upgrade my Gauss Rifle. Moral of the story: Show up, even if you're getting stomped.

5. Join a Clan (Please, I'm Begging You) 🤝

Solo queue is lonely. And it's poorer.

Being in an active Clan gives you weekly rewards based on how many Clan Points you contribute. You get these points by... you guessed it, playing matches.

But here's the secret: Clan Wars.
If your clan is active during War weekend, the payout is massive. I'm talking Credits and Coins.

I'm in a clan called [Potato Aim] (we laugh at our own misses, it's therapeutic). Even on weeks where we don't win the whole war, just participating gets me enough resources to keep my main mech relevant. Find a clan that fits your timezone and activity level. Don't join the #1 clan if they require 50 matches a week and you can only do five. You'll just stress out.

6. The "Watch Ad" Button (No Shame Game) 📺

Okay, real talk. Sometimes the game offers you a small amount of Coins or Credits to watch a 30-second ad.

Some gamers turn their noses up at this. "I'm a pro, I don't watch ads!"

Look, I'm a pro at avoiding ads in real life too. But in-game? If I'm 500 Coins short of an upgrade and I can watch one ad to get there, I'm doing it. It's 30 seconds of my life. I usually use that time to stretch my back or pet my cat, Luna. (She usually knocks my phone over during the match, but during the ad, she's calm).

Don't let pride keep you broke.

 

Look, I wish I could tell you there's a secret code or a glitch to get infinite Credits. But there isn't (and if you find one, don't tell me, I don't want to get banned 😂).

The real secret is managing what you have.

• Don't upgrade mechs you won't use.
• Focus on one or two main loadouts.
• Don't spend Coins on speeding up upgrades (the ultimate sin!).

Mech Arena is a marathon, not a sprint. My wallet is happier, my mechs are stronger, and I've finally retired that poor, battered Griffin to the hall of fame.

What about you? What's your biggest resource regret in the game? Did you ever buy a mech and immediately regret it? Let me know in the comments, I need to know I'm not the only one!

Until next time, keep your shields up and your ammo full. 🤖💥
