Gekko

"Heats up the target. The greater the heat, the more damage is dealt. The level of heat and damage depends on the distance. Heat from multiple lasers stacks"

The GEKKO XX is the one of only two laser weapons in the game (the other being Zeus) and has the largest range of any weapon. Because it is a unique weapon, it requires gold to purchase.

In previous versions, the function of the GEKKO was to "heat" up its target. This translated into the longer it fires upon the target, the hotter it got, and the more damage it dealt. Now, the GEKKO does its full damage regardless of distance or amount of time. In battle, a GEKKO can force enemy units under cover, as many players do not appreciate a solid beam of light hitting their robot.

GEKKO's can also be used as a long range assault weapon. If a robot has multiple upgraded GEKKO's, it can inflict serious damage on a robot before it takes cover. Thus, it is a good strategy, if one is seeking to destroy the robot, to shoot them while they are in the open and there is no available cover.

While one GEKKO can do decent damage when highly upgraded, they are much more powerful in clusters of two, three, or even four. A dedicated robot carrying two to four GEKKO's can severely damage an enemy.

The GEKKO changes colour as it upgrades. Lvl 5: Green, Lvl 6: Yellow, Lvl 7: Blue. From levels 8 to 11, the laser is coloured in increasingly deeper shades of pink/purple. At Level 12, the laser is a light red colour.

The open fields of Springfield and Shenzhen are good places to do this.

The GEKKO does little damage but the higher the level, the more Damage it does.  ~UPGRADING~  level :  Lv5   ->  Lv6   ->  Lv7   ->  Lv8   ->  Lv9   ->  Lv10  ->  Lv11   ->  Lv12 Silver : 750G  ->  720K  ->  1.56M ->  2.56M ->  4.02M ->  5.36M ->  10.72M ->  12.66M Damage : 1757  ->  2029  ->  2121  ->  2333  ->  2566  ->  2822  ->  3105   ->  3415
