As A New Player, Which Battle Pass?

[Sparky862]

Which of the 3 should I get that is the better one?

[Jokoff Schön]

depends what you want to play like
but the las-16 sickle is a decent weapon

[Slaanesh]

the first of the three. The fire shotgun et explosive shotgun are really solid choice, other warbonds offer more niche choices that are not bad, per se, but less usefull overall.

Only my opinion tho

[Mister Cebion]

i´d say top to botton.... fire 1st arc 2nd. The last one aint special in my opinion but the first both gives good weapons

[Axis of Lint]

I would rate it :
1) Cutting Edge
2) Democratic Detonation
3) Steeled Veterans

But you're unlikely to get a consensus opinion here.

[LeftIsBest-James]

the factors that would determine what's best depends on:
1. playstyle/role-in-team
2. preferred enemytype.
These conditions will change as the war-story develops to diff enemies and factions. (soon)

- Don't waste time guessing, You need all of them. Work from top to bottom.
- Don't buy Cosmetics until you have unlocked all warbonds.

The last one has been very specialized but if it fits your playstyle it's pretty good

Yup. Speaking off cosmetics you don't need to purchase the full page to go to the next page. It's just a Medal threshold to go to the next page

get the one with the incendiary shot gun.

[Forblaze]

Cutting Edge has stun grenades and the scythe. Both of these are really good, but I think you can play just fine without them.

Democratic Detonation has the grenade pistol which, imo, is absolutely revolutionary. Grenades as a resource are not easy to come by and you're frequently forced to supplement them with other weapons or stratagems. The pistol slot sees very little use in my experience and takes a *lot* of pressure off of your grenade slot, letting you actually use them in combat without gutting your ability to clear bases.

I'm surprised so many people are pushing Steeled Veterans. That one's the easiest skip imo.

But fire and any form of DOT Damage doesn't work in this game?

It does... if you're the host

Otherwise ya it doesn't work

Ideally, the Cutting Edge has the "Best" general purpose weapon, and I do mean one weapon and that's the Sickle. Long lasting, high damaging rifle, and doesn't have to rely on needing ammo as much so long you're accurate.

The latest Warbond does have some more interesting set of armor/weapons if you don't mind the explosiveness of things. The only IMO best choice out of it is the Grenade Pistol as it comes with 9 rounds of potentially lasting ordinance for blowing up Bug Nests and Bot Fabricators, beats needing to bring armor with +2 grenades to offset that issue as well as needing to rely on finding grenades lying around as the Grenade Pistol can also be replenished with normal ammo boxes.

The first Warbond wasn't the best for a while but recent updates buffed the Dominator (Helldiver's Boltgun) and became a impromtu DMR with high damage. It also has a Incidenary Shotgun that has indirectly been buffed due to the fire damage increase (Though this is also bugged to a degree but still fairly reliable as it is now).

I'd say you best go with what seems better but if I were to guide a hand, its either Cutting Edge for the Sickle and even the Dagger but only if you're willing to be accurate all the time or Democratic Detonation if you want to become very versatile with your choice of loadouts purely by the Grenade Pistol.

[Imnuktam]

Depends on playstyle but the weapons are what you are going in there for.

IMO

Incendiary shotgun is best in class vs bugs
Scorcher is best in class vs bots
Get those two first

Sickle is fun and decent vs both
Grenade launcher has decent utility
Eruptor/abducator whatever its name was again has nice explosive damage / aoe range and closes holes destroys fabs

Yeah I am looking at Democratic Detonation as well for the Nade Pistol. The versatility of the Pistol is insane. It changes your playstyle in a way that your loadout completely changes when you take this pistol.

But getting that Warbond JUST for a Weapon seems useless .....

The sickle is one of the best all around primary weapons for most situations and almost zero ammo usage if you want something like that. The rest can be pretty gimmicky and situational, but fun.
