Tip number 1
If you want heat you must use all heat based weapons to be successful and same applies for each type of class heat- electric and physical.

Tip number 2
Dont use shields energy shields will always fail you and heat shields are a no no .

Tip number 3
Dont rage quit, this game isnt that bad and if you quit your opponent still gets his exp and coin, where as you get nothing , and trust me those losses add up fast .

Tip number 4
Research parts an mech ideas before you start or as early as you can ,
by lvl 12 you need a goal or you will begin to struggle.

Tip number 5
Have fun its just a game , you will get to lvl 30 eventually and when you do, you will have your turn to be that guy everyone quits on.
