## Introduction

**Features** are the mechanics that drive the game of War Robots, and will show what this game has to offer, outside of battle.

This page will cover; many various features, from ways to commence a battle, to acquiring or spending resources, as well as links to more developed and specific pages to name a few.

This page will not cover battle mechanics.

## Starting a Battle

There are two different battle types; rated and unrated battles.

Battles are 6 robots versus 6 robots, or 6 robots all against each other (depending on game mode), they come with an assortment of different game modes, and are played on a variety of different maps.

### Rated Battle

Rated Battle

Here you will have a two choices; Random Mode or the currently featured game mode.

Random Mode (on the left), when selected will start a battle using one of the game modes listed below "Available battle modes".

The currently featured game mode (on the right) periodically changes when the game updates with a newly added game mode (the newly added game mode becomes featured).

Sometimes temporary (special) games modes which will show up to the right of the featured game mode.

Note: When starting a rated battle, maps are always randomized (cannot be chosen).

### Custom Game

Main article: Custom Games

A custom game allows for casual (unrated) battles.

This mode can be accessed by pressing the button on the right side of the hanger screen (shown below)

## Acquiring Resources

Below are various ways to acquire resources such as, Robots, Equipment, and Currency.

### Supply Line

Main article: Supply Line

Supply Lines allow players to acquire resources without the need of being active (idle). The content of the rewards improves the higher the current status of the pilot's League Ranking, encouraging players to keep playing the game, whilst discouraging tanking behavior.

Every 20 hours you will receive a crate (drop). You can store only one of them, however once this occurs you will no longer receive another supply drop, until you collect it.

Rewards currently only include Ag (silver).
