Hey dudes - I'm sorry I didn't provide the proper visuals when talking about the Warbonds! Quite honestly, I had a long day and spent so long on the ranking and voice-over, that I thought simple gameplay would be adequate. Clearly an oversight by me. I genuinely just want to provide the best possible content, and this ain't it. Not even close. I hope some of you still enjoy, but I'll do better in the next one. Promise. ❤
The Verdict, Liberator Carbine and crossbow are actually excellent weapons. The verdict one shots troopers and can kill devastators with a mag dump, it's a viable alternative to the Senator. The Liberator Carbine is an alternative to Knight SMG. It's an excellent CQB weapon. The crossbow is basically a very long ranged grenade launcher for your primary slot. You can lob explosive bolts across the map, one tap devastators to the head, two shot scout walkers. The thermite grenades are decent, they can kill hulks and tanks which frees up my other weapon slots to be anti medium.
I just got off a 12 hour overnight and have extremely important information to pass on to all helldivers. I discovered this morning that if you rotate your thumb stick 360 while diving, you can take little to no fall damage. I did it for about an hour and found that 2 out of 3 jumps while doing this trick either completely mitigate fall damage or if done right only gives you a quarter of what you would normally take please let me know if you try it and it works
@@polar3488goated for cosmetics and booster, weapon wise it is objectively worse than many and that has nothing to do with skill. Whether you can use those weapons or not doesn't change that there are better ones in the other warbonds.
Cutting edge is the best in my opinion. The stun grenades are a game changer. All three primaries are very good in their specific roles. And sure The secondary is lackluster but can still have its uses and specific loadouts and once the aluminate comes out, the armor bonus is going to be a must-have because the aluminant do primarily Arc damage
@@mr.s9783I like the Sickle and used to run it all the time on bugs however I've now moved to the Breaker Incendiary for bugs and love it. It just shreds bugs to pieces.
Once I started using stuns, I haven't unequipped them for either of the factions almost at all. Also punisher plasma is my all time favourite qeapon against bots so cutting edge is definitely the best warbond imo
Yeah I was debating between polar patriots and cutting edge, buuuut I think imma pick up cutting edge to get said armor and stuns once I'm done with viper commando
Steeled veterans - should have additional perk to void limb damage Demolition - should have additional perk to void fire damage Polar patriots - should have additional perk to void blizzard and snow slowdown. Viper - should have additional perk to increase stealth or easily move thru foliage. Such a missed opportunity. Still fun but would have given me more reason to role play based on environment
Should have had a Studded Boots perk that prevented sliding on ice and entirely removed the snow movement debuff (when also running muscle enhancement)
Drop pods are barely noticeable in the loading screen only, while the pelican is only at the end of each mission if you survive. I’d say they’re pretty niche and useless
@Foxtail190 maybe so. But I still think it's cool when I get on somebody's ship and the launch pods are orange. It's just nice to see things be different every once in a while
The dominator hits like a absolute truck against bugs and bots alike. Probably my favorite warbond weapon to date. It's just an absolute animal and I know it's a better bot weapon but man it destroys everything up to tyrants and stalkers alike. The only thing it's kinda useless against is the heaviest of bug enemies but by that time you have a rail/laser strata. Not to mention the sound design is just chefs kiss. I feel like I'm a god with that weapon and it's only draw back against anything is it's capacity for ammo because if you miss its a major thing. 6 clips totaling to 90 rounds can have you needing a reup on ammo pretty regularly. Otherwise it'll take care of every enemy in the game especially bots. It's just my go to primary. Although I might have to try the DD warbond weapons after this video. Having 2000 credits and in glad I found this video. I been saving them for too dang long. Thanks for the video and you've got my sub man.
The armor sets in Polar Patriots really should have had a different passive, wherein they prevent you from slipping on icy surfaces and make you less hampered when traversing snowy terrain. Call it Winter Warrior, the same name as the armor. Wouldn't be the first time they gave an armor and its passive the same name (Servo Assisted).
So I don't think you will see this, but from what I can tell, acid does arc damage because while rocking the arc protection, with no shield, I was able to walk right through acid puddles without a lick of damage
Cutting Edge really is great. It's really the stagger warbond, with the Blitzer pushing back bugs and Plasma punisher throwing bots around. Then the stun grenade staggers them more. No set of primaries and grenades has more "sit down, shut up"
It's important to pay attention to how many super credits are in each warbond because saving them to buy more warbonds can give you a discount on later warbonds.
1. StVe- IBreaker, Dominator and Senator are top tier weapons 2. CuEd- PPlasma is amazing, stunnades are a really nice item and Sickle is a solid main. but its not as hard as StVe 3. DeDe- GPistol and the Crossbow post patch are good. Eruptor fell off after the nerfs and still solid 4. PoPa- the main weapons are usable, the Tenderizer is the best among them for control on group play 5. ViCo- disapointment. only have ass cosmetics and the booster that carry everything. weapons are weak and dont work properly
Well VC is their 1st foray into vehicle skins so I think in that aspect not a bad start to a new feature of something, least they stayed on theme with it
Man, I'm super happy that the premium currency is pretty easy to accumulate for free Its not like plat farming or dumping a mortgage to get a bit of premium currency
Since the game came out, I've been playing on my wifes PS5 account. This week, she gifted me a shiny new PS5. So i re-bought the game and started a PSN account. I agonized over which warbond to gift myself at first. Amusingly, I chose the warbond thats dead last in the video, "Polar Patriots." I did it because I wanted to surge straight to the Pummeler so I could pair it with the ballistic shield. But I ended up finding the recently buffed Tenderizer so very satisfying as a marksman AR. I seriously got some Halo vibes off of it. Those two guns I think, will do well for me till I can re-earn everything on the new account. Before someone asks why I'am not just using my wife's account still. She decided to start playing Helldivers with me and gets to reap the benefits of my work. She doesn't have all that time to grind.
i use crossbow as a secondary to close holes and it also 1-2 shots medium bugs. pair it with flamethrower, granade launcher or any MG and ofc the pocket shotty, and you're good to go.
Yeah that's my view of the crossbow now, it's a primary utility weapon that can free up other choices just like the grenade pistol is a secondary utility weapon
When I got into the game and finally got enough super credits, I bought the 3rd bond newly released. And now that I'm returning to the game after a while, I took the time to figure out what I wanted in each bond to decide what I actually wanted the most. Thankfully most of my opinions align in this video, still think I'll go with cutting edge first, and just spend on the new flames of freedom pack because that looks really fun!
Ever since I found out what the Arc thrower was it changed my game I love it it’s inconsistent and I have to be so careful with new players I join but even wearing full Arc armour for role play as it has no effect to anything in game at mo love all the cutting edge as it fits my role play style
I am the Helldiver that bought and completed all warbonds too. And I wholeheartedly agree with you that Cutting Edge is number one while Steeled Veterans is number two. However, because I put more value in mechanical bonuses than cosmetics, I rank Polar Patriots higher than Viper Commandos simply because of the fact VP only offers good armor passives which are very good but situational while PP gives you two fantastic primaries and a decent grenade. However, I am biased because everyone is, lmao.
I'm a fan of Polar-Patriots. The Kodiak armor/helmet are my favorite armor set in the game, especially when combo'd with the super citizen cape. And the Motivational shocks booster is 1 of my favorite boosters. ... Idk, im a heavy armor fan.
instead of buying it with money, progress trough the free one, in the end you get enough to get another one(and im pretty sure you get them aswell when you level up which is enough time to finish one)
I've been using the light armor from Viper Commandos ever since I unlocked it. Paired with the Dominator, it makes a noticable difference in moving the weapon around.
Gotta disagree regarding the liberator carbine, with good fire control its damage output is crazy good and ridiculously useful for things you wanna burst down fast like berserker devastators, stalkers and the like, and crouching or prone the recoil is even easier to handle.
Honestly I think all Warbonds are only good if it's for your use in my opinion. I've grinded for both the Polar Patriots and the Democratic Detonation because they have weapons and armor I like. The Tenderizer and the Devestator armor are really cool.
They really need to buff shuttle call-in boost. It's literally only useful at the end of the game, so ut cut off at least 60% of the entire time, I would consider using it
At least on the ps5 there is still a lot of game breaking bugs . Yes I love this game but I just wish these developers weren’t rushed , it’s a half assed released with a lot of bugs still
I think people are sleeping on Cutting Edge because it started out so bad at release. Probably the most utility of any with the stun grenade, Blitzer, Plasma Punisher, and sickle For sure primaries where I have logged a bunch of hours because the excellent crowd control. I agree with your list though. Wish Democratic Detonation didn't go through so many nerfs that crippled the warbond. I would have paid to unlock others if there wasn't an underlying fear that they would take a great weapon and nerf it to the ground a month after release. Instead I'm just slow grinding for super credits to unlock the rest.
Peak physique is better than people think. I ran the Dominator with it and it was handling like an AR. Quick to target and the dot and the reticle matched quickly.
@12:00 you mention “the default frags”. You might have realized if you included the free warbond in this review, but frags are not the default. The actual default is the High Explosive grenade. It’s a common mistake for UA-cam content creators (and players in general), because it’s one of the first unlocks people typically get.
I'll argue your 5th and 4th! No way the Defender is "arguably better" than the Pummeler, and the viper armors showing skin would be arguably detrimental in helldiver's battlefield. The Pummeler is the best anti-stalker one handed weapon, which means it can be used while retreating without slowing down, making it really good against anything melee. The Bushwacker is cool, but still not better than the Redeemer or the goat Grenade Pistol. The Stim booster is the best though, agreed! but quantity wise it doesn't carry the warbond.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, I main the crossbow and it’s really good, you just need to pair it with a support weapon like the heavy machine gun then you’re god tier
The warbonds armor don’t have their own specific environmental perks other than cutting edge which in my opinion is the best so long as everyone in the squad wears a arc suit and has a arc thrower. It pretty much turns the game into ghostbusters and having for arc throwers hitting a bug breach or bot drop is so OP it’s stupid. Weird how nobody runs this when matchmaking. 😂 other than that I just wear standard blacks and rock a standard AR. It’s low key all you need.
14:50 currently, the armor sets are objectively the worst armor sets to date, but once the illuminates come to our galaxy through meridias wormhole, its gonna become one of the most sought after armors in the entire game, and im all in for it
my opinion for viper commandos i like it beacuse the devs said they would rather go for quality over quanity for warbond wepons maybe one more weapon would be ncie but i like it
I think you're straight up wrong with the crossbow. I found it really useful and better than the eruptor. I've have just been spamming it the last week because it feels so much better. Not having to bring regular grenades nor the grenade pistol opens up even more weapon combinations since it felt really awkward if you didn't have a way to manually close bug holes and bot fabricators. That alone, feels much better. The hunter argument doesn't hit for me because even if it did, why are you shooting at hunters with this gun in the first place? it has a slow fire rate, a small explosion radius, and like you said, doesn't one shot them directly at times. It can, its just not consistent. So just switch to your secondary or support weapon. Bushwhacker and Redeemer are a LOT better at handling hunters than most primaries I find and flamethrower ain't bad at turning them into bug barbeque. The crossbow's ability to handle enemies is also great. It 2 shots nursing spewers in their sac(the few times the explosive trait is actually useful), keeps brood commanders and warriors at bay very easily, 2 taps hiveguards, and deals with chargers better I thought. Wasn't expecting to 5 shot a charger butt in all honesty. On bot side, 4 taping a hulk back as well as a devastator is pretty solid considerinng you stagger them each shot and of course a headshot is a 1 shot as you would expect. It also pretty consistent at one shotting scout striders, two shots if needed and since bots only have one or two fabricators at each base, it makes it really easy to just run in, blow them up, and get out before dropships come. Especially, since you don't have to reload after every shot and gain all your shots from ammo packs unlike a certain secondary. I also just think cutting edge is kinda bad. I don't know, I just don't use any of the stuff in there besides stuns. Scythe is okay, plasma punisher is good but only good vs bots, and biltzer I hate using. That's a gun that NEEDS to one shot hunters reliably.
I'm sorry man, saying Adjudicator is a good all rounder feels wrong, I haven't played with it recently, but if I recall correctly, it's inferior in every stat when compared to the Tenderizer. The only thing Adjudicator has up on Tenderizer is it's greater armor penetration, but even then that's not usually good enough to grade it higher than Tenderizer in my book.
We need one more planet with less then 50% of the planet liberated with only 2 hours and 15 minutes remaining . call available reinforcements.. deploy to wezen
I cannot stand the breaker incendiary. If someone on my team brings it, I know I'm going to get team killed at least once by it. Probably multiple times. It'll definitely almost kill me way more times than that. Those incendiary pellets do way too much damage just from the burn alone. If one of them touches you and you don't dive immediately, you're going to die.
Granade pistol is not "amazing" it just closes the gap in builds with no explosives and allows you to take non explosive granades. I would describe it as incredibly useful
Plasma punisher is horrible. I have 600 hours in the game, most obviously on diff 9. This PP gun has atrocious damage and only 8 rounds in a mag. I really don't understand why youtubers recommend it
I will say, the knifes couldn’t be a let down because I don’t know a single person who thought throwing knifes would be better than bullets or grenades
I never thought they'd be better because no aoe but I thought they'd do more damage, be retrievable (maybe with a cool animation to pull them out of enemies) and useable as a melee weapon. If they made those changes throwing knives still wouldn't be a better choice than grenades but they would be fun and people would probably want to use them
Also if you pressed the melee button it would be cool and super useful if you used the throwing knives to stab. Like that is part of the reason I thought they were going to be justified. But the other hand is stealth and its a quiet throwable.
I’m actually so sick of people using the experimental stims because the buff they give isnt actually that good, and while I hear the motivational shocks sucks is very shocking especially saying that it increases pick up time when ragdolled and reduces acid effects that slow you down not damage by over 50%. Meta abuse has never been so serious before in a game and is very much comparable to call of duty
There in nothing like the Unicorn gun or warbond but the cooperative multiplayer..people is making the same mistake going on Slayer mode and getting crushed just to say the game is a piece of junk..
I want more gear with the default Helldivers colors. I don’t know what their new obsession is with orange, but I want more Black and Yellow drip. More black and grey helmets that just go with anything.
i told him that a few videos ago. he goes on about how he uses the new stims in every dive but somehow has no footage of stiming himself with it? i dont get it.
The devs wanted to change warbonds, so they were more thematic and cosmetic, and they will add more free stuff. The theme is top notch on Viper, and for cosmetics is the best, which I think is what the devs intended
Yes I would rather have 1-2 good weapons and some cosmetics than a warbond with 4 weapons and only 1 good weapon. I think it will help with the game's overall stability and weapon balance as they wont have to test as much. (also I fear it would bloat the current options we have, and it would definitely be harder to balance weapons overall when there is more weapons in the game obviously).
I think people need to pay more attention to why the change happened. Polar patriots was a symptom of them not having the resources to pull off that style of warbond within the time frame they have. It's not a question of "do you want things like democratic demo and steeled veterans or viper commandos" it's "do you want more warbonds like polar patriots or viper commandos". Most people would say viper commando and I agree with that take. I will miss having more weapons, but frankly I just hope they spend more time making the weapons that are added actually worth it. We are all aware of the mess that the democratic demolition and polar patriots warbonds have been. Viper commandos is a more sustainable model that is ultimately better for the game because it has less weapons and stuff in it.
@@Cyberfreg Agree to disagree I guess, Vipers was the biggest disappointment in terms of Warbonds so I’m hard disagreeing with you. Polar patriots easily was my favorite in terms of drip and weapons and it was ranked last lmao
With regards to the crossbow, its highlight is that when firing, it is silent, and the explosion draws enemy attention, making it the best primary in the game for stealth (which is a very viable strategy for automatons)
Hey dudes - I'm sorry I didn't provide the proper visuals when talking about the Warbonds!

Tenderizer is fun but man I run out of ammo so quickly!
And it cost us the Pummelers superstagger capability
It also has really good armor sets and the Incendiary Impact granades. I even like the verdict. It is definitely a very underrated warbond.

They tenderizer CANNOT one shot devastators in the head. Dev head health is 125 so it takes at least two.

2 or 1 doesnt make a difference much. Realistically in game, it takes a second to kill a dev with a headshot.

Actually, what weapons can compete with Inc. Breaker and DomDom for the best primaries in the game?
They should release another big warbond for like $10 or for a larger amount of super credits that 1000

At least on the ps5 there is still a lot of game breaking bugs . Yes I love this game but I just wish these developers weren’t rushed , it’s a half assed released with a lot of bugs still
I want some more things that build on the base look of base Helldivers I want more black and yellow stuff!
I think people are sleeping on Cutting Edge because it started out so bad at release. Probably the most utility of any with the stun grenade, Blitzer, Plasma Punisher, and sickle For sure primaries where I have logged a bunch of hours because the excellent crowd control. I agree with your list though.
Wish Democratic Detonation didn't go through so many nerfs that crippled the warbond. I would have paid to unlock others if there wasn't an underlying fear that they would take a great weapon and nerf it to the ground a month after release. Instead I'm just slow grinding for super credits to unlock the rest.
The pummeler in polar patriots is so good it's S tier for me
Peak physique is better than people think. I ran the Dominator with it and it was handling like an AR. Quick to target and the dot and the reticle matched quickly.
Polar Patriots warbond is disappointing but the light armor is my favorite looking armor set in the game.
Steel hands down is the best early one. You get the flaming shotgun and the dominator plus the senator
@12:00 you mention “the default frags”. You might have realized if you included the free warbond in this review, but frags are not the default. The actual default is the High Explosive grenade. It’s a common mistake for UA-cam content creators (and players in general), because it’s one of the first unlocks people typically get.
I'll argue your 5th and 4th!
No way the Defender is "arguably better" than the Pummeler, and the viper armors showing skin would be arguably detrimental in helldiver's battlefield.
The Pummeler is the best anti-stalker one handed weapon, which means it can be used while retreating without slowing down, making it really good against anything melee.
The Bushwacker is cool, but still not better than the Redeemer or the goat Grenade Pistol. The Stim booster is the best though, agreed! but quantity wise it doesn't carry the warbond.
I really want another warbond. But I know they're slowing down now.
I am Also the Helldiver that likes to watch other Helldivers talk about things
Steeled veterans because I like fire.
Polar one because of the drip
I don’t know what you’re talking about, I main the crossbow and it’s really good, you just need to pair it with a support weapon like the heavy machine gun then you’re god tier
The purifier should have 2 fire mod; normal shots like scorcher & charge up one for aoe damage
I have almost 100 hrs in helldivers and i only was able to buy one warbond. I suck at collecting super credits.
The warbonds armor don’t have their own specific environmental perks other than cutting edge which in my opinion is the best so long as everyone in the squad wears a arc suit and has a arc thrower. It pretty much turns the game into ghostbusters and having for arc throwers hitting a bug breach or bot drop is so OP it’s stupid. Weird how nobody runs this when matchmaking. 😂 other than that I just wear standard blacks and rock a standard AR. It’s low key all you need.
14:50 currently, the armor sets are objectively the worst armor sets to date, but once the illuminates come to our galaxy through meridias wormhole, its gonna become one of the most sought after armors in the entire game, and im all in for it
my opinion for viper commandos i like it beacuse the devs said they would rather go for quality over quanity for warbond wepons maybe one more weapon would be ncie but i like it
You should rank helldivers warbonds
High command are you getting this
Send the fleet we need him back he has killed 50000000 in the past 6 days
Cutting edge in my opinion is number one. Steel veterans two viper command three and I stopped rating at that point ha ha
im the super citizen who failed training (exists in the wrong country) and watches helldivers talk about stuff (bro why cant i buy it still)
I think you're straight up wrong with the crossbow. I found it really useful and better than the eruptor. I've have just been spamming it the last week because it feels so much better. Not having to bring regular grenades nor the grenade pistol opens up even more weapon combinations since it felt really awkward if you didn't have a way to manually close bug holes and bot fabricators. That alone, feels much better. The hunter argument doesn't hit for me because even if it did, why are you shooting at hunters with this gun in the first place? it has a slow fire rate, a small explosion radius, and like you said, doesn't one shot them directly at times. It can, its just not consistent. So just switch to your secondary or support weapon. Bushwhacker and Redeemer are a LOT better at handling hunters than most primaries I find and flamethrower ain't bad at turning them into bug barbeque. The crossbow's ability to handle enemies is also great. It 2 shots nursing spewers in their sac(the few times the explosive trait is actually useful), keeps brood commanders and warriors at bay very easily, 2 taps hiveguards, and deals with chargers better I thought. Wasn't expecting to 5 shot a charger butt in all honesty. On bot side, 4 taping a hulk back as well as a devastator is pretty solid considerinng you stagger them each shot and of course a headshot is a 1 shot as you would expect. It also pretty consistent at one shotting scout striders, two shots if needed and since bots only have one or two fabricators at each base, it makes it really easy to just run in, blow them up, and get out before dropships come. Especially, since you don't have to reload after every shot and gain all your shots from ammo packs unlike a certain secondary.
I also just think cutting edge is kinda bad. I don't know, I just don't use any of the stuff in there besides stuns. Scythe is okay, plasma punisher is good but only good vs bots, and biltzer I hate using. That's a gun that NEEDS to one shot hunters reliably.
15:22
Okay, I understand what you’re saying, BUT. they look cool
There's a new worst warbond in town, boys...
Dude tenderizer is not 1 shot on devs. Its 2. It also has a tiny mag and long reload, it’s far from broken. Just average
I'm sorry man, saying Adjudicator is a good all rounder feels wrong, I haven't played with it recently, but if I recall correctly, it's inferior in every stat when compared to the Tenderizer. The only thing Adjudicator has up on Tenderizer is it's greater armor penetration, but even then that's not usually good enough to grade it higher than Tenderizer in my book.
We need one more planet with less then 50% of the planet liberated with only 2 hours and 15 minutes remaining . call available reinforcements.. deploy to wezen
Us grinders will eventually unlock all warbonds so let's just enjoy 😅. I just unlocked the 3rd warbond, only polar and viper left.
So far Democratic Detonation is my favorite wb by a large margin
I cannot stand the breaker incendiary. If someone on my team brings it, I know I'm going to get team killed at least once by it. Probably multiple times. It'll definitely almost kill me way more times than that. Those incendiary pellets do way too much damage just from the burn alone. If one of them touches you and you don't dive immediately, you're going to die.
I only bought vipers for the booster but I can’t even get it because of the stupid medal cap
I just need to know, where are you from?
Seconds
I just talk too fast for proper pronunciation sometimes 😭
Granade pistol is not "amazing" it just closes the gap in builds with no explosives and allows you to take non explosive granades. I would describe it as incredibly useful
Freedom's Flame is best terminid killer warbond
this made me depreesed man 02:45
Looks sooo fun AND I MISSED IT
Plasma Shotgun got a bad rep cause baby Helldivers don't understand kiting, keeping distance, and projectile arcing.
The sickle has lower damage than the starter AR... Higher fire rate and possible unlimited ammo but the damage aint anything special.
Was this after the peak physique fix?
Showing what you were talking about at the time would have earned a like... but enjoy the comment.
surely medals are a more valuable currency than super credits
Plasma punisher is horrible. I have 600 hours in the game, most obviously on diff 9. This PP gun has atrocious damage and only 8 rounds in a mag. I really don't understand why youtubers recommend it
put them all in f , except for cutting edge
I will say, the knifes couldn’t be a let down because I don’t know a single person who thought throwing knifes would be better than bullets or grenades
I never thought they'd be better because no aoe but I thought they'd do more damage, be retrievable (maybe with a cool animation to pull them out of enemies) and useable as a melee weapon. If they made those changes throwing knives still wouldn't be a better choice than grenades but they would be fun and people would probably want to use them
Also if you pressed the melee button it would be cool and super useful if you used the throwing knives to stab. Like that is part of the reason I thought they were going to be justified. But the other hand is stealth and its a quiet throwable.
One day nothing will be trash
I’m actually so sick of people using the experimental stims because the buff they give isnt actually that good, and while I hear the motivational shocks sucks is very shocking especially saying that it increases pick up time when ragdolled and reduces acid effects that slow you down not damage by over 50%. Meta abuse has never been so serious before in a game and is very much comparable to call of duty
How do I actually buy them
I find stun nade terrible they arent needed just learn how to lead shots with you call ins
Polar patriots is the best for me 😊
There in nothing like the Unicorn gun or warbond but the cooperative multiplayer..people is making the same mistake going on Slayer mode and getting crushed just to say the game is a piece of junk..
I just want another 10 page free warbond that isn't hindered by a theme, and we can truly get some more unique cosmetics and weapon variety.
I agree. I think periodically adding a few free tiers would be nice, even if it’s just cosmetics.
@@mr.s9783I'm sure they'll do that sooner or later.
Not sure why they would
I want more gear with the default Helldivers colors. I don’t know what their new obsession is with orange, but I want more Black and Yellow drip.
More black and grey helmets that just go with anything.
I feel like they might add another free warbond in due time

It would be super helpful if you showed gameplay of the weapons you're talking about when you talk about them
i told him that a few videos ago. he goes on about how he uses the new stims in every dive but somehow has no footage of stiming himself with it? i dont get it.
INDEED
I say viper commandos could be two because the Devs agreed possibly that they would give the carbine an under slug shotgun or a grenade launcher
Wait, did they really? When? I need to see this.
That would be so cool
The devs wanted to change warbonds, so they were more thematic and cosmetic, and they will add more free stuff. The theme is top notch on Viper, and for cosmetics is the best, which I think is what the devs intended
Yes I would rather have 1-2 good weapons and some cosmetics than a warbond with 4 weapons and only 1 good weapon. I think it will help with the game's overall stability and weapon balance as they wont have to test as much. (also I fear it would bloat the current options we have, and it would definitely be harder to balance weapons overall when there is more weapons in the game obviously).
I think people need to pay more attention to why the change happened. Polar patriots was a symptom of them not having the resources to pull off that style of warbond within the time frame they have. It's not a question of "do you want things like democratic demo and steeled veterans or viper commandos" it's "do you want more warbonds like polar patriots or viper commandos". Most people would say viper commando and I agree with that take. I will miss having more weapons, but frankly I just hope they spend more time making the weapons that are added actually worth it. We are all aware of the mess that the democratic demolition and polar patriots warbonds have been. Viper commandos is a more sustainable model that is ultimately better for the game because it has less weapons and stuff in it.
Yet viper commandos has less armor sets…
@@Foxtail190 exactly. And that's a good thing. Because they will be much better looking and more thematic.
@@Cyberfreg Agree to disagree I guess, Vipers was the biggest disappointment in terms of Warbonds so I’m hard disagreeing with you. Polar patriots easily was my favorite in terms of drip and weapons and it was ranked last lmao
With regards to the crossbow, its highlight is that when firing, it is silent, and the explosion draws enemy attention, making it the best primary in the game for stealth (which is a very viable strategy for automatons)
