6 Pack League

[SwitcherLP]

To all those who want a fun, pure War Robots experience, we are starting a 6 Pack league which involves using the following bots and weapons:

Any bot or weapon which was available up to the Wild West Bots update
All weapons and bots maximum level of 6
Anything else is not valid for play
All level 6 bots equip the Quantum Radar Module, unequip all passives and pilots.

Anyone interested, or if there are any issues with this invite, please respond here. You will need to friend me on Steam so we can get you into matches. There has been no schedule established yet, and we can also put these together on the fly.

Checking what I have level 6 and not past wild west.

Could you list the robots and weapons allowed, as I'm not sure what is ok.

Also, no pilots allowed and basic passive modules only, level 1.

I posted the official rules above, these are what people use in Android and iOS. We are playing with the following rules:

Every bot and weapon that can be purchased with silver
Every bot and weapon that is available in the Silver chest on Black market
Every bot and weapon up to and including the Wild West bot update

This basically means we are using the official rules and adding the Gust and Storm.

No dasbots, stealth bots, or any premium bots.

I will try to post a definitive list later. We can always adjust the rules to taste also, which is what makes this fun.

Good luck with that idea i'm sure it will not cost any cash and having fun in the process. All i can say is hope to see you on the battlefield. Though i think you should reconsider the level of Bots to 9 for at least Max Speed.

Everything is level 6. 9 is too prohibitive to some players who have no opportunity to pay, and have difficulty in earning silver in this highly toxic game atmosphere Pixonic has established. The point of 6 pack league is to establish solid tactics with what you have to work with.

We need at least 12 people for this.

We have played matches with only 6, 3 on 3 matches. Obviously, it would be better with 12, but this is still good no matter how many people.

Is Orkans and Magnums ok.

Yes, they are. The group I am playing with are allowing storm and gust too.

This is copied from the 6 Pack League Discord page, which I linked in the OP:

1.) All bots and weapons can be no higher than level 6, mk. I. Mk 2 bots and weapons are not allowed.

2.) No component based bots or weapons are allowed. This is what will sometimes be referred to as ‘the pre-dash era,’ and includes everything up to and including the Wild West, or ‘American’ bots, and nothing after.

3.) All tournament rounds are domination, random map, best of 5 games. Hereafter the term ‘tournament round’ shall refer to this exclusively.

4.) Minimum team size is 6. Minimum squad size to compete in any tournament round is 4 (Amazon and FBGR players are currently excepted from this rule. The minimum for these platforms is 3). Maximum team size is 12. All players to be used on any team MUST appear on that team's roster. This is the captain's responsibility. To compete in the tournament, teams must be registered in the appropriate channels by the posted deadline. Once a team has been registered, they are allowed to change their roster as needed within reasonable limits. This means adding or subtracting pilots to maintain a healthy squad size and balance, not changing out a team’s roster wholesale. In addition, once a player has appeared for a particular team for a given season, they are not permitted to play for another squad.

5.) During a tournament round, teams are permitted to substitute no more than 2 pilots into their squad during their matches at any time, unless unlimited substitutions are explicitly agreed to by both captains. Once this happens the substitute player or players must keep the exact hangar configuration they enter with for the remainder of the time they play in that particular round. Designating these players ahead of time is not required provided they are listed on a team's roster just like any other player.
6.) Multiple hangar decks for 6 Pack competition are not allowed. If you have multiple decks, be sure that before entering into a tournament round, you have a single deck outfitted for 6 Pack so as to be easily identified.

7.) Switching bots and “hot swapping” in the middle of a tournament round will not be permitted unless it is explicitly agreed to by both captains.

Example: Team A wants to swap and team B does not, the above rule shall be the right of the declining team to invoke without dispute.

8.) Both teams will be responsible by way of a designated player (preferably the captain), to record and post match result screenshots in the proper channel, in order to accurately cross-check results.

9.) Teams are encouraged to designate a single captain. This person can pass responsibilities to any number of vice-captains that they see fit when they are unavailable, however this person speaks for their team in an official capacity, and is responsible for seeing that their team is properly appraised of the league rules. Team captains are also required to make a good faith effort to communicate to their opponent's captain how many they will be able to field as far in advance as possible to enable matches to start in a timely manner and for squads to be properly matched. This etiquette also extends to making every effort to meet your agreed upon schedule with your opponents.

10.) The deadline to complete each week's tournament round is midnight Monday, Eastern Standard Time in the United States, or 4 am UTC Monday morning. Appropriate considerations will be made for unusual situations if both teams appear to be making a good faith effort. If matches are not completed by the deadline then both captains shall meet with me in comms and matches will be played on the spot with any team members present. If either team fails to do this, they shall be given a loss for the round.

-----------------------------------------------
Violating the above rules shall result in possible sanctions that include game loss, match loss, or even disqualification.

One final word: the intent of the founder of this competition was to create an environment where skill, teamwork, and strategy carried the day rather than how much you paid to outgear your opponents. He succeeded in this endeavor. This ideal will continue to rest on the bedrock of sportsmanship, fairplay, and respect for your fellow gamers as long as you, the community, deem it so. The strength and appeal of 6 Pack League rests in you upholding these ideals.


And those that do, will always be welcome.

Due to the changes by Pixonic in the way they organize what bots and weapons are available with components, the 6 Pack League will update its definition of what constitutes equipment legal for tournament play.

I saw you were working on a hangar for 6 pack use. Definitely is the best use of the second hangar for me so far.

First hanger is for beacon games and second is for death match.
I would swap the first for playing Six Pack.

We haven't been running 6 pack much, as my clan has been working on upping our current rank, but I will keep in touch with you in the future. There is also a discord link, that I will share so you can read up on it.
