Key Considerations
While the table above might make it seem like any player can quickly pay to win, there are key factors to keep in mind. We’ll outline them below:
-
Weaponry Achievement Packs: These packs are gated by your Weaponry Research level, meaning you can’t simply purchase them right away. Additionally, this indicates that your Civil, Military, and Electronic research levels must be maxed out in advance.
-
Leveling Path: You can’t just randomly level up as you go. If you do, you may miss the chance to advance Weaponry Research to the level required to unlock pack purchases. This means you’ll need to focus solely on the minimum requirements for T6 across both buildings and research, especially if you’re starting with zero Nu-Ape Caps.

-
Troop Training: Our breakdown doesn’t include the costs of upgrading T5 troops to T6. That is a whole other challenge and needs to be factored into your overall strategy.
- Ape Coins vs. App Store: You can lower your overall costs by purchasing ape coins through the tap4fun website. Currently, tap4fun is giving players an additional 5% bonus when they purchase ape coins.

By keeping these considerations in mind, you’ll have a clearer path to acquiring T6 troops.
Conclusion
As shown in the table above, purchasing T6 troops on their release day may be possible; however, it hinges on the unconfirmed assumption that you can reach the required Weaponry Research level to unlock them. If that’s not achievable, unlocking T6 by the end of the week will only be possible if you’ve already prepared. One thing is certain: if your goal is to obtain T6 soon after release, enough packs are available, even without months of preparation or collecting Nu-Ape Caps. However, without prior preparation, you might have to wait a week or two post-release. With this in mind, you can now decide whether it’s worth pursuing T6 on day one without any advance planning.
