Hmmm, I tried 5 Level 1 Cossacks each with 1 Level 1 AC Molot. This is about as low as you can go. I saw Boas with Thunders, but I was able to offset fire from cover with an Level 1 AC Molot and destroyed 2 of them, so they had to be level 1 or level 2 bots. The biggest threat was a Patton with 2 EP Mags and 2 CRVs and it almost killed my level 1 Cossack in 1 shot of just the CRVs. So even with all level 1 bots and all level 1 weapons, you still get at least level 5 weapons (Thunders start at level 5).

I next added 3 level 1 Schutzes all with a level 5 Thunder (the 2 level 1 Cossacks stayed in there for bots 4 and 5). I saw the same bots as before but the level 5 thunders held their own and I placed in gold for damages and 5 gold for beacons.

So somewhere down low there's easy gold to be mined and if my most powerful bot is a level 1 Schutze with a level 5 Thunder then that's giving even noobs a very fair chance (unlike the pilots with Rogs and Carnages I saw).
