I’m 45 super credits off being able to get a premium warbond, which one am I getting?
Cutting Edge. The Blitzer is a super fun weapon with infinite ammo and kicks ass once you learn how to use it correctly. And if you hate it, the pass also has the Sickle which is another weapon with infinite ammo (if used carefully) which people more universally agree is one of the best guns in the game.
Never tried the blitzer but i will back that the sickle is the best gun from the 3/5 premium warbonds that ive unlocked
The Blitzer makes it easy to play the Emperor of Democracy!
Just have to keep an eye on fellow Helldivers so they don’t ragdoll you into a bottomless put.
I actually tried the Blitzer and the sickle and never got it. Ended up really liking the punisher plasma. It can explode even hulks and stuff, very nice weapon. I never tried it vs bugs because I always bring the breaker incendiary but it annoys me that it’s useless vs chargers.
The one with the grenade pistol. Being able to pick up grenades as ammo is very useful, along with its ability to destroy holes and factories.
Getting it to actually destroy factories on the first hit is the real trick.
But all of the armor in that explosive warbond is great vs bots and eruptor is top tier vs bugs and to close bug holes.
It definitely takes some practice
I did some tests and I think aiming a bit under the light in the vent from straight on around 15 to 20 meters away is fairly consistent at taking them out
May want to wait and see if the new warbond this week is worth it.
That said here are the ones I’m interested in:
Steeled Veterans has the incendiary breaker which is amazing for fighting bugs. It also has the Dominator which is a good pick for bots. Not much else going for it, but two good primaries are pretty nice to have.
Haven’t gotten into the other packs yet, but heard good things for few of them.
Viper commando seems like a great pick: The armour passive is really good due to the faster aim, the booster is really good but niche, the shotgun secondary is powerful but slow, the knife is niche too but a fun gimmick to try, and there is lots of cool customisation options for hell pod/etc.
The one I’m planning to pick up next is democratic detonation: I’m picking this almost purely for the grenade pistol as closing bug holes with a secondary would be handy. Especially on search and destroy. Though the primaries are pretty good too from what I hear.
The Incendiary Breaker has been great. I’ve been running it this whole time. But it is being nerfed in the next balance patch and I’m salty about it.
Heh, now it’s just very good instead of a nearly mandatory pick.
It’s still just as powerful, but it makes you super ammo thirsty now… Definitely want to compensate with strategems or support weapons now, though with the amount of backlash they very possibly will revert it to come up with a better solution
Explosive detonation or something gives the grenade pistol that allows you to use utility grenade without sacrificing your ability to close bug holes or destroy fabricators. The weapons also have this ability. So this warbond will open more builds than any other warbond.
Cutting edge is right behind, or even arguably on par. Because it has the stun grenade, and excellent weapons. But the stun grenade is a game changer, trivializing hulks and chargers. It’s almost cheating.
Steel veteran goes after them, but it also has amazing weapons. But it’s a matter of preference after the first two. You can’t go wrong with this one while the other warbond are more hit and miss.
I’ve really got to start using stun grenades more
Honestly, either the explosion one or the first one. Jar5 is still a king and the grenade pistol is the best hand grenade.
Nobody went to bat for Polar Patriots so I will. The pistol side arm isn’t fancy but reliable. The Pummeler SMG makes the Ballistic Shield stratagem viable.
I don’t see enough people using the Pummeler and Ballistic Shield. I know it’s not meta, but it’s just so much fun to slowly advance on bots while laying down suppressing fire. I feel like it helps the squad push into tricky spots too.
They are all fun. There is no bad pick. I got cutting edge, democratic detonation and a viper armor. I mix and match helmet, armor, and loadouts from all of them. Such good stupid fun.
Also if you haven’t downloaded the Helldivers companion (not affiliated in anyway) that has made the larger board so much more accessible. I’m a bot guy so know I know why everyone keeps yelling about going to Vanadalon IV in the absence of a MO.

I have like 1,500k superdollary doos and I was holding off getting a warbond until the update to see if there will be the illuminati showing up, and get the one best suited to fight them
