Is Polar Partriots warbond worth getting ?

[Taijin]

i see no one use it when am play lol

Armor and booster are lame.
Tenderizer and pummeler are good.
Purifier is garbage tier.

[Hawk]

Nope, booster is trash, armor is the same as every other heavy armor and the weapons are still some of the worst, the nade is... fine but basic frag impacts are still better though at least now they can destroy bug holes but that's it.

I like the blue cape and blue scout armor... And the SMG is alright if you need a SMG. The problem with it tho, at least for me, is that it's very flashly and can make it harder to play. Ever bullet makes a really big noticeable flash when it hits causing a strobing effect and can blind the target you're trying to hit behind big ugly flash jpg's

Steeled Veterans, Cutting Edge, and Democratic Detonations are by far the strongest warbonds and the rest aren't really close.

I would say that Polar Patriots is a competitive 4th place. All three of the weapons are good and I personally would even call the Purifier great. The Tenderizer especially is pretty popular for bots and somewhat popular for bugs. Still, nothing in it is irreplaceable.

Viper Commandos is the alternative and only for the armor perk and booster. I don't really use the weapons that the armor synergizes with so I don't really care about it, but the booster is definitely good.

Freedom Flames is an easy last.

I would say skip it.
They need to buff the heavy armor and 1000 supers for just the incendiary impact grenade and the pistol is not worth it.

[Jenick]

yes

It's either the worst or the second worst warbond on the game. I unlocked everything in it but use exactly nothing from it. Every other warbond I use at least one or two things.

I could not disagree more. VC is a much better warbond than Polar Patriots... PP was Arrowhead phoning it in. The tenderizer and pummeler are niche but have their place in lower bot levels and I sometimes take the deagle instead of the senator to the western front but I wouldn't miss them if I didn't have them. The Purifier is objectively trash and still doesn't work right. The armours don't have any unique perks and the booster/equipment are just as forgetable.

In VC the carbine and shotgun secondary evaporate chaff, and the knives are fine but I haven't used them much. Armour is great if you main the Dominator or if you're an AC or HMG enjoyer. The booster is pretty good for getting out of a bug jam quickly and is almost essential at higher bug difficulties, especially now that you can use stims at full health.

I would sum it up that PP is mildly useful for the bots, and VC is massively useful for bugs/mostly useful for bots. I'd buy anything (even the new one has flame resistant armour) over PP.

edit: I guess the pummeler is kind of useful at lower difficulties but only for keeping hunters and stalkers at bay due to the stagger. It will stagger devastators but at higher levels there are too many enemies for it to be effective. It simply doesn't have the DPS for higher levels on either front.

Unless you like how the armor looks, no.

Everything in it sucks, besides the tenderizer. And that isnt even that great in all honesty.

armor is eh, weapons are okay, big shout out to the contact fire grenade for melting bugs like butter

Big shout out for the ice themed warbond to have the fire grenade

Calling the tenderizer niche but saying the carbine shreds is pretty bizarre to me.

The game really favors accuracy, both because of its emphasis on weakpoints and because of general ammo economy. The carbine is really just a faster firing liberator and the liberator already doesn't have the ammo reserves to full auto.

Tenderizer has never been my preferred weapon but it's probably the best assault rifle in the game vs bots because of its ability to hit devastator heads.

Pummeler and incendiary impact grenades are the only thing from it I ever use and then only on bugs which I play the least. The armor not having jack all to do with the cold just annoyed me so I don't even like wearing it cause I get annoyed about what should have been.

[sergantuss]

no
its a clear waste of 1000 if you care about it

[John Helldiver]

Isn't the Tenderizer from it? Easily one of my favorite primary weapons. I loved it even before it got buffed.
