The GEKKOs are a real conundrum for players. The first time I saw the lasers, i wanted them, so I blew lots of gold to get three GEKKOs for my Leo. They are insanely expensive to upgrade, and I too noticed that as I upgraded them, I kept getting bumped into higher and higher tiers, where they did little to no damage. So I kept upgrading, and so on and so on and so on....

Now I have 2 Level 12 lasers and 1 Level 11 on a Level 5 Leo. And you know what? I'm now playing level 6 and higher robots and my lasers do not much damage on the robots. My advice, from a Level 30 player who has been at it for months now..... don't bother getting the GEKKOs. If you want to win, invest in Orkans and Rogatas, or Boas with Orkans and maxed shotguns. I still play my Leo with GEKKOs and maxed Zeus, but only because I spent so much time and investment into it. But even the Zeus, I feel like I would have been better off just sticking with a Kang Dae or the Kwk and playing the long-range sniper game. Zeus only works 600 metres or less, and as soon as you're that close to an enemy bot, they can easily close the ground and one-shot you with their Orkans.
