Premium Warbonds

[Dragux]

Are these warbonds going to be permanent after purchase or timed? Looking at the cost for the weapons on it compared to the standard one its insane for the medals.

I question the idea behind this choice for unlocking things, unless you level up and you unlock stuff as well?

I loved Helldivers 1 for the fact you could unlock almost everything by playing the missions and completing them to unlock said strategems and weapons, now it feels like there is going to be a massive FOMO method for trying to get a gun or a piece of armor that is broken in some way shape or form.

(weapons and armors all have stats tied to them that alter gameplay) And boosters too it seems in the passes.

From the official post on the store page about warbonds:
"Do you hate FOMO? We do! Sagar wants to be clear about the monetization in HELLDIVERS 2: “At Arrowhead, we're gamers too, and we want these Warbonds to feel modern, fun, and in line with the Arrowhead style. This is important to us: the Warbonds are NOT a pay-to-win, FOMO-driven system. Instead, the gear in the Warbonds just keeps accumulating. We will not retire earlier Warbonds as new ones are released - you can pick them up and complete them at any time!”

TL;DR: Instead of paying for DLC weapon packs, they'll add premium warbonds as time goes one, which won't dissapear, and you can earn the premium currency in-game, so if you just play a lot you don't need to pay a dime extra besides original price, after you unlock that warbond you can spend medals are with the normal warbond.

So if you don't like any of the gear in the current one, just save up your medals and premium currency for the next one so you can immediatly unlock a big chunck of it.

The Warbonds are permanently available regardless of purchase. They'll just add more to the list as time goes on. At any point, you can choose to pay the price to unlock them and begin collecting the items with medals.

I'm rather pleased they want with this "Halo Infinite" type model. I'm pretty annoyed with Season Passes that are timed. By the time the next "Premium Warbonds" hit I will have earned enough to buy the next one too. And I won't feel pressured to finish it and play against my will so I won't have payed for nothing.
