This would have been a great opportunity to bring in the much requested gas mortar

Y'know, after dying to mortar sentries the past couple days in defense missions, I'd be 100% down for an incendiary or gas mortar, assuming they dont ragdoll you
I'm still waiting for an eagle gas strike myself
This all looks cool but I can’t help wonder if they'll ever introduce new elements into the game. Out of the fire, cold, and gas warbonds the cold one got supremely shafted by having no ice weapons (and, ironically, having an incendiary grenade.)
So did the fire one, dropping the fire nerf just before the fire warbond.
And the other ones were barely even worth it. I don't think there have been any weapons from any of the warbonds being better than the base game defaults.
Grenade pistol, sickle, breaker incendiary, dominator, eruptor, cookout, blitzer, punisher plasma... All are very solid weapons and all of them I'd pick over the core warbond weapons 9 times out of 10
I'll give you the grenade pistol hasn't left my side since I got it, just because it's too good to close spawners.
But I had always been using the slugger as primary, it worked great on bots and bugs. Combined with the laser backpack against bugs I rarely ever needed something else except for heavies.
I love the Blitzer (and Arc Thrower before it was nerfed). I also really enjoy the Tesla tower, but it's hard to use effectively without team killing everyone. Still, I'd like to see them do more with lightning. Let me call down a thunderstrike from the heavens and smote the enemies of democracy!
Only interested in the pull my finger emote.
It was a good free ride, Helldivers.
This features the first stratagems locked behind a paywall. Superstore exclusive stratagems will soon follow.
Any idea of the cost? Farming super credits isn't exactly hard
Right? Just put on a podcast and run around some lvl 3 maps. You can rack up like 300sc in an hour. It's even easier now that you can stim at full health.
Gotta love people that work in the game instead of actually playing it. And then they tell other people to do the same as if it isn't completely insane.
It's not insane.
If you don't enjoy grinding, don't want to play the game, AND don't want to spend money on the game...maybe consider playing a different game?
No idea on costs but it should be equal or more to past amounts.
I'm glad you're the type that is ok with super credit farming. Personally, I will return to civilian life as I can buy another game instead of 3 warbonds.
Doesn't even take farming, just playing the game should get you enough. But you do what you enjoy, if you're not enjoying the game then you should find something that is fun for you
For me, though, the time and play it takes to unlock the stuff in one warbond gets me the super credits I need for another anyway, and that time is spend mostly trying out and enjoying the new toys so it's not exactly farming
It's not really locked behind a paywall though, you can earn in-game currency
I found it to be quite easy to rack up enough credits to at least unlock one warbond. And a second didn't took too long either.
Most stuff has been pretty underwhelming anyway, there are a few good items but most default weapons are a lot better than anything from warbonds.
What paywall? I've unlocked every warbond without paying for a single one of them, what are you talking about?
At the end of the article it says "paid purchase of Super Credits" and apparently people are focused on the "paid" because they are goldfish brained.
