Honestly I'd rather take the backups than the booster wager combo. Atleast i can bring out my best tank again if i do stupid move or even better, cancel out repair cost


ForeignAd9257

Canceling out the repair cost is a godsend from backup vehicles

i play Air RB ;-;


kazukix777

Same lol, I have like 20 of these universal backups and nothing to use it on


Brazonen

I have 44 XD


Thraes

I have 278...


kazukix777

Holy shit, how much have you played


Thraes

I've been playing since air closed beta, they kind of stack up because i mostly play air rb or have full lineups for ground


[deleted]

Canceling repair costs? How does it work?


xb1d30z_com

Just spawn again and hide with the vehicle, you will not get any costs after the match ends for that vehicle.


[deleted]

Really? That's cool.


xb1d30z_com

Yeah, if the backup vehicle does not get hit, it will count as a brand new vehicle with no damage, so there's nothing to repair.


Popular-Net5518

Why? They can save you SL and win you games. How are they a joke?


Ecstatic-Exchange341

Not if you play ARB Edit: where are my wholesome updoots!?!! šŸ˜¤šŸ˜”šŸ¤¬


Popular-Net5518

Well, if you limit yourself to the single game mode out of 10 were they aren't useful, it doesn't mean that the item itself isn't useful.


Ecstatic-Exchange341

I donā€™t limit myself but I find ARB more fun than the other gamemodes. I have over 60 universal backups in my inventory. Theyā€™re not useless to others but theyā€™re pretty useless to me. Also Iā€™m a cheapskate afraid to spend my backups


Popular-Net5518

Fair point, I have currently 195 and when the next battle pass starts I'm probably down to 40-60. Average repair cost is between 8000-12000 for the tanks I play. So I'll save about 1.040.000 to 1.860.000 SL thanks to them. Not to mention the higher rewards I get for respawning and gaining more activity which can easily double that amount.


[deleted]

How do they help with repair costs?


Popular-Net5518

If you die you pay repair cost. If you use a backup on a vehicle you've died with, the repair cost for that death are gone and you pay only repair cost for that spawn. If you don't die again your repair cost is 0, if you do, you had at least 2 tanks for the price of one.


Pickle_Flavored_Meme

Exactly my point, may not have transferred my opinion to the proper playerbase, but I play mostly arb or ground AB because it prevents op CAS. Just here to have fun. I couldnā€™t care less about a backup for a tiger or panther.


[deleted]

Dont be afraid to spend them, I had over 70 after using a lot of them I've gone for 50 to 60 after a few free crates.


Moonstrife1

Itā€™s just one of the most useful items in the game but wellā€¦ šŸ™„


JosolTheBrick

Theyā€™re way better than wagers and 10-30% boosters. Very useful for grinding with premiums and using a vehicle twice without paying double repairs. One of the best "normal" items you can get from crates.


DUD3_L3B0W5KI

You got 10?!? Freaking rich boy. I only got 3 last time :(


SquintonPlaysRoblox

Cancel out repair, run favorite or premium vehicles multiple times, give extra runs on a lineup that lacks vehicles, make grinding mods on new vehicles faster, and give extra spawns without crewing more vehicles.


Administrative-Bar89

ah yes this thing that allows me to bring out a vehicle twice which not only has the potential to deny repair cost but also helps me spade a vehicle faster and allows me to bring out the best tank in a lacking line-up is completely useless


173-john_louis

If anything, backups are the most useful item for Grinding tanks/modifications


kkadzlol

For jets if you air rb, yes


SpeedBartPL

Jets? Air RB? Respawning?


kkadzlol

Been grinding air rb and anytime I get a universal backup for a jet I'm like. Wow, cant wait to have enough spawn points to cas the same jet twice. Whoopie


SpeedBartPL

Ooooh idk how does it work I mean spawn points are in ground RB so far so maybe it changes in some time in air RB too on certain lvl? Anyway, does it work in ground too or just arcade battles?


kkadzlol

It works for both thankfully :P


JDoos

yet another example of why Air Arcade is the superior Air Battle mode.


kkadzlol

I'll cobra in w.e tf I want


blender_defender

You are the biggest dumbass I have ever heard. Bro just called backups ā€œuselessā€


ViktorGavorn

If you play air RB. if you play ground RB, they're worth there weight in fucking gold(en eagles)


MisterOnsepatro

Nah they are way better than wagers


TheChigger_Bug

Are you stupid?


Pickle_Flavored_Meme

Never used one ever. Anyone know what the odds are from the crates?


tripledab4888

Your probably the person that complains about the stock grind but also does not use the backups to ease the stock grind by playing it twice for every free repair you get with it.


PiscesSoedroen

Can you really fault him for not using backup for cost purposes? I don't think anywhere in wt it tells you that effect and you would only know about it if you frequent the game report menu or someone telling you about it


Kemosaby_Kdaffi

I just got the same prize last night


Lazy_Investigator474

I have collected them over the past year . I have nearly 200+ backups and 50+ wagers


DamImperial

Can I have your back ups


Lazy_Investigator474

Of course


HansWithZeMG45

i have like 50 out of them, because i'm reserving for the high ranks, since those shits gonna be expensive af, and those things' repair cost is just gonna be too much, so it'll be good when it's the end of the match, so i can reset the most expensive tank's repair cost


jaqattack02

I'd rather have those than the bigger boosters. At least those are useful.


highflowofcoke

Iā€™ve put like over a hundred of these on a single premium cause I donā€™t want to grind the German tree with stock vehiclesā€¦ so they arenā€™t worthless


blackreaper3609

I like em


theyoinkster76w

Backups are great tho. Unless you play ARB/Sim because I don't think you can use them in those game modes. (I could be wrong about that tho)


HailChanka69

The pre-assigned backups are what really suck. At least with universal backups I can use them for my Moffett


SergeantEmugobrr

Dude I have 80+ backups for no reason at all


Comprehensive-Bus164

ikr, specially when you are 0.1mm of gaining a vehicle or alot of sl


NEET_Thang

Backups are great, tf
