Multiplayer battles War Robots become much more effective and more fun when you act as part of a close-knit team. Single-player battles often turn into chaos, with each pilot pursuing his own goals, ignoring the overall strategy of capturing beacons. That is why creating a squad with trusted allies is a critical step to increase your win rate and get the maximum amount of silver and gold after each match.
The process of adding comrades in arms on the platform Android has its own characteristics that differ from consoles or iOS devices. The developers from Pixonic have provided several ways to unite players, each of which requires certain preparation and account settings. In this article, we will analyze in detail all the available methods, from linking social networks to using built-in player IDs.
Before you start searching for allies, you need to make sure that your game profile is fully activated and protected from loss of progress. Without the correct account linking, the adding friends function may be unavailable or not work correctly, which will lead to disappointment and loss of time in the hangar.
Preparing an account and linking social networks
The most reliable and popular way to find familiar pilots is to link your game progress to existing profiles on social networks. War Robots is deeply integrated with platforms like Facebook and VKontakte, which allows you to instantly synchronize your contact lists. If you play as a “guest”, the system will not be able to identify you among other users, so the first step is always through the profile settings.
To perform this operation, launch the application and enter the hangar. In the upper left corner of the screen you will see your avatar and nickname - click on this area to open the profile menu. The current linking status is displayed here: if you see gray social network icons or the inscription “Guest,” it means that the account is not associated with any external platform.
Click on the Connect (Connect) button next to the desired social network. The system will redirect you to the browser or the official social network application for authorization. After successfully entering your login and password, the data will be saved and your game ID will be linked to your real profile. This opens up access to an automatic search for friends who have also linked their accounts to the same services.
⚠️ Attention: When linking your account, make sure that you are using the same social network as your friends. If you choose Facebook, and your friend only uses VKontakte, automatic search through social networks will not work, and you will have to use other methods.
It is important to understand that linking an account serves not only for social interaction, but also acts as the main tool backup for progress. If you change your device or reinstall the Android operating system, you can restore your entire arsenal of robots and weapons by simply logging into the same social network profile.
Using the built-in friend system in the game
After successfully linking your profile, the full functionality of the built-in friend system opens up to you. This section is accessed through a special icon located at the bottom of the hangar screen, usually next to the battle entry button or in the settings menu. The friends list interface is intuitive and divided into several tabs for easy navigation.
Tab Friends displays all the players you have already added. Here you can see their current status: online, in battle or offline. The account level and the main hangar robot are also displayed, which helps to quickly assess the combat power of a potential ally before sending an invitation to the squad.
To add a new contact, use the Add Friends (Add friends) tab. The system will automatically offer you a list of users from connected social networks who also have the game installed. You can send requests one at a time or use the mass adding function if you want to quickly assemble a team from real friends.
- 🎮 Clicking on a player’s avatar allows you to view his detailed statistics and hangar composition.
- 📩 Button

Removeallows you to delete inactive players or those with whom you no longer plan to fight. - 🔍 The search field by nickname only works if you know the exact name of the player or his ID.
It is worth noting that the number of friends in The list is limited by the technical limits of the server, although for the average player this limit rarely becomes an obstacle. Regularly clearing the list of “dead souls” - players who have not logged into the game for months, helps keep your combat environment up to date and simplifies the formation of a squad.
Periodically check the status of your friends: if a player has not logged into the game for more than 30 days, his nickname may become available for use by other users, and the account itself risks being deleted for inactivity.
Search by unique Player ID (Identifier)
Your friends are not always in the contact list of social networks, or you want to add a specific e-sports player whom you saw in the top leaders. In such cases, a unique digital identifier comes to the rescue, which is assigned to each pilot when creating an account and never changes. To find out your own ID or find someone else’s, you need to go to the game settings. In the upper right corner of the hangar screen there is a gear that opens the menu Player ID — a digital identifier that is assigned to each pilot when creating an account and never changes.
To find out your own ID or find someone else's, you need to go to the game settings. In the upper right corner of the hangar screen there is a gear that opens the menu Settings. At the very top of this window, under the nickname and avatar, a long sequence of numbers is displayed. This is your unique code.
The process of adding by ID is as follows: your friend must tell you his combination of numbers. You enter it in a special field in the adding friends section. The system instantly finds a profile corresponding to this number, regardless of whether it is linked to social networks or not. This is the most universal method, working even between different platforms.
Example Player ID: 48291057362Using an ID is especially important for creating clans or participating in tournaments where accurate verification of participants is required. An error in even one digit will result in you either not finding the player or sending the request to a completely different person, so be extremely careful when entering data.
⚠️ Attention: Never give your Player ID to strangers in suspicious chats or on dubious sites promising free gold. Fraudsters can use this information to attempt hacking or phishing attacks on your account.
Synchronization through Google Play Games
For owners of Android devices, the ecosystem Google Play Games provides another convenient layer of social integration. Many users prefer not to link their game account to Facebook or VK, relying solely on Google services. In this case, the list of friends is formed based on contacts saved in your Google account.
For this method to work, you need to make sure that the application Google Play Games is installed on your smartphone and you are logged in to it under the same account as in the Play Market. When you first start War Robots, the system usually asks for permission to access this service - you need to confirm it.
Inside the game, synchronization occurs automatically. If your friends also play through Google Play and are added to your phone or Gmail contacts, they may appear in your list of recommended friends. However, this method is often less effective than direct linking to social networks, since it requires the coincidence of many conditions at the same time.
| Add method | Necessary conditions | Reliability | Search speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Social networks (FB/VK) | Linking accounts for both players | High | Instantly |
| Player ID | Knowledge of a friend's digital code | Maximum | Depends on input |
| Google Play Games | Contacts in phone/Google | Average | Automatic |
| Clan | Joining one community | High | Requires approval |
If synchronization with Google Play does not occur, try clearing the cache of the Google Play Services application in the settings of your Android smartphone. Sometimes accumulated service errors can prevent the correct exchange of data between games and the system profile.
☑️ Checking integration with Google Play
Adding friends through Clan and Chat
One of the most organic ways to find allies is to join an active Clan. Communities in War Robots are created specifically for team play, and clan members automatically have expanded opportunities to interact with each other. The clan tab allows you to see all members, their ranks and contributions to the development of the community.
Inside the clan chat, you can communicate with other pilots, discuss tactics and agree on joint battles. Often, after a successful match, players add each other as friends directly from the clan interface or through a profile accessible by clicking on the nickname in the chat. This helps to quickly form the core of a team from people with a similar playing style.
In addition, many clans have their own external chats in instant messengers (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp), where coordination is even more efficient. Joining such a community often requires passing an interview or meeting minimum requirements for account level and number of victories.
How to create your own clan?
To create a clan, you need to accumulate 25,000 silver. After this, the “Create” button will appear in the Clan menu. You can come up with a unique name, emblem and set requirements for new players to join. Remember that the clan leader is responsible for the activity of the participants.
Using a general chat during a battle can also lead to new acquaintances. If you see that an ally played brilliantly, after the match you can write him a private message or add him as a friend if the system allows you to see his profile in the battle report. However, be prepared for the fact that not all players are willing to make contact during a short break between battles.
Solving problems with displaying friends
Sometimes users are faced with a situation where friends are not displayed in the list, despite the linking and sent requests. This can be caused by a variety of factors, from temporary server failures to privacy settings on social networks. The first step is to check the stability of the Internet connection on your Android device.
A common reason is the privacy settings on the social network itself. For example, on Facebook or VKontakte, a user can hide the list of their applications or prohibit the visibility of their profile for games. In this case, even if there is a connection, War Robots will not be able to “see” a friend to add to the list.
It is also worth considering that adding friends may be limited if one of the players is in ban or has a “new” status with restrictions on social functions. Check if you or a friend have received warnings from the game administration about violating the rules.
⚠️ Attention: If you have changed your device or operating system (for example, switched from iOS to Android), make sure that you have linked your account to a cross-platform social network (Facebook/VK), and not to Game Center. Transferring progress between different ecosystems without proper binding is impossible.
In case of persistent errors, when nothing helps, it is recommended to completely reinstall the game. Before doing this, be sure to make sure that your account is securely linked to the social network, otherwise you risk losing all your progress. After reinstallation, log in through the social network connection button, and not as a guest.
90% of problems with adding friends are solved by checking the privacy settings on the social network or relinking the account in the game profile menu.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is it possible to add a friend if we play on different platforms (Android and iOS)?
Yes, War Robots supports cross-platform play. You can add friends between Android and iOS using a link to social networks (Facebook or VKontakte) or through a unique Player ID. The Google Play system and Game Center do not directly synchronize with each other, so social networks are the best bridge.
Why don’t I see the add friends button on VKontakte?
This can happen for two reasons: either you are not authorized in the VKontakte application on your phone, or access to the list of games is blocked in the VKontakte privacy settings. Check if the social network application is installed and try logging in through the browser when you click the connect button.
How many friends can you add to War Robots?
The technical limit of the friends list is quite large and is rarely reached by ordinary players. However, to form a squad, only 3 pilots (including you) can participate in battle at a time. Other friends will be available for invitation to future matches.
What should I do if a friend does not receive my request?
Ask a friend to check the "Incoming Requests" tab in the friends menu. Sometimes notifications do not arrive due to a failure of push services. Also make sure your friend hasn't blocked you accidentally and that their friends list isn't full.
Can you remove a friend without them knowing?
Yes, removing a friend from your list is a unilateral action. The deleted player will not receive a notification about this, he will simply disappear from your contact list. If he tries to add you again, the request will have to be confirmed again.
