By Mecha Break is a free-to-play multi-player shooter that delivers a wealth of content and personalization for the various mechs available for unlocking. Naturally, some of that content is gated behind an in-game paywall, as is commonplace with the free-to-play structure of video games. Nevertheless, Mecha Break goes a step further than just a single universal currency, presenting three distinct currencies you can acquire during your time as a mech pilot.
Below, you will discover what the three currencies are, how to acquire each one, and what you can utilize your currency on in Mecha Break. If you’re just diving into Mecha Break, ensure to also check our comprehensive Striker tier list to know which mechs are advisable to unlock first.
How to acquire more Corite in Mecha Break
The primary currency we’ll discuss is Corite, which is the chief currency that you’ll consistently seek in Mecha Break. Corite is utilized for the majority of the microtransactions in the game, and, as you might anticipate, can be acquired using real-world money through the in-game shop.
Corite can be bought in the following quantities:
- 100 Corite – $0.99
- 515 Corite – $4.99
- 1,060 Corite – $9.99
- 2,180 Corite – $19.99
- 3,360 Corite – $29.99
- 5,405 Corite – $46.99
Besides acquiring Corite with real money, you can also earn some by joining the official Mecha Break Discord server. If you join and connect your account in-game, which can be done right as you enter the main menu by selecting the “Link Discord” option in the pop-up window, you’ll qualify to earn Corite through daily drops.
On the Discord server, head to the “giveaways” text channel and click the “Daily Check In” box at the top of the channel. This rewards you with random loot that gets transferred to your linked Mecha Break account. While Corite isn’t always a reward from the daily drops, it is a possibility.
The daily drops provide a significantly higher success rate of acquiring Corite than selling items on the Matrix Marketplace. This is the in-game marketplace for Mecha Break, enabling players to buy and sell items they’ve obtained. If you possess a sought-after item but wish for Corite in return, you can list the item on the Matrix Marketplace for a specific amount of Corite. Then, another player can purchase the item using their Corite, essentially transferring theirs to your inventory.
This system heavily depends on players obtaining valuable loot and others offering their Corite for the item. Any item you acquire in Mecha Break can be sold, with each having a minimum listing price of 180 Corite.
How to acquire more Matrix Credits in Mecha Break
Speaking of the Matrix Marketplace, it bears that name for a reason, specifically because you can gain a consistent amount of Matrix Credits there. Matrix Credits are the most frequently encountered currency in Mecha Break and are utilized for numerous purposes. Mainly, you can buy new mechs and other customization aspects using Matrix Credits.
On the Matrix Marketplace, you can instantly exchange an item you’ve put up for sale for 900 Matrix Credits rather than waiting for another player to spend Corite on it. You can also convert Corite into Matrix Credits if you prefer that approach, but typically, that’s a poor choice due to how scarce Corite is.
In addition to the marketplace, Matrix Credits can be obtained by engaging in virtually any content in Mecha Break. Completing tasks, events, and missions all reward you with Matrix Credits. You can also farm additional Matrix Credits by buying the Matrix Contract Battle Pass, which provides a plethora of the currency through Supply Crates. This costs $13, however.
How to obtain more Mission Tokens in Mecha Break
Lastly, we arrive at Mission Tokens, which is the currency you’ll utilize the least in Mecha Break. Nevertheless, that does not imply you wouldn’t want to possess Mission Tokens, as they are necessary for unlocking certain content.
Right from the onset in Mecha Break, you’ll receive 500 Mission Tokens (through a sign-in incentive). This amount is barely sufficient to acquire all items associated with this currency, however. Mission Tokens can be accessed in the upper-right of the main menu, and once you view its menu, you’ll see everything you can unlock using the tokens. This includes several of the Strikers in Mecha Break, such as Inferno and Serenith, each costing 15,000 tokens. Additionally, other beacons and access cards also require Mission Tokens.
You can earn Mission Tokens by participating in all three game modes in Mecha Break, completing tasks in each mode, and by claiming daily sign-in rewards. Furthermore, purchasing the Matrix Contract Battle Pass also offers Mission Tokens, but as mentioned earlier, it costs $13.
Mission Tokens are viewed as the most laborious of all the currencies in Mecha Break, and you will need a significant amount if you aim to unlock every Striker and item in the game.
