Which warband is better to buy?

I'd probably wait until the new one comes out in a few days, it looks promising. I think maybe the polar one is the worst, chemical one is second to worst. Cutting edge and and detonation are pretty good, vet isn't bad either. Commando didn't really interest me but everyone uses the booster.

imo DD is the winner they all have good and meh but sv ce dd are some of the better ones i thought ff vc and pp where the weakest

Your info is outdated. Polar Patriots includes the Purifier, which is hands down the best weapon against bots at the moment. It also has Incendiary Impact grenade, which is one of the best grenades against bugs. Tenderizer has also been buffed to ridiculous levels, and it's the best light armor penetrating assault rifle in the game, again - by a large margin. Though light pen weapons in general are pretty meh, so it's kind of a wash.

To be fair, polar patriots is way better than it was, but also the purifier is kinda the main thing out of it that's really good. Tenderizer isn't terrible but lib penetrator kinda does its thing better a lot of the time given the AP difference and usual breakpoints the tenderizer just wastes a lot of its DPS, same shots to kill with liberator penetrator on a lot of things. Pummeler is ok but again a light stun weapon and the lib concussive sorta does its thing better and comes in a warbond with the jar dominator and the incendiary grenades and incendiary breaker too.

I think i'd probably put polar patriots right in the middle of warbonds though. Polar Patriots and Freedom's flame are about as good as each other, more or less depending on which faction you play mostly. Like FF is best on bugs of course, Polar Patriots better on bots but also fine vs bugs. Feels like Cutting Edge has fallen off hard.

Like:
Democratic Detonation
Steeled Veterans
Polar Patriots=Freedom's Flame
Cutting Edge
Chemical Agents
Viper Commandos

Democratic Detonation provides the most new tools that you just don't get elsewhere. You get the grenade pistol which is just a standard on bugs for closing holes, the crossbow which is the best weapon in the game at the moment and also can close holes/fabs from longer ranges, eruptor is fun and quirky, and then thermites let you have AT in your grenade slot (while the other weapons give you a grenade replacement anyway) so you can run a less AT focused loadout and get by still.

Totally agree with this.

I think there's a good case to be made for Polar Patriots, especially after you get the big three. That warbond was dogwater on release, but with the recent change to the Purifier now almost every weapon out of that pack is a solid choice.

PP also has the Verdict, which is an amazing sidearm for both bugs and bots. I'd say it's second best warbond after DD, but it's pretty close.

Thinking about pistols, reminds me that the senator is in Steeled Veterans, and that gun's a monster.

[Iridar]

Yeah Senator is great, though arguably Verdict is more practical as a general-purpose sidearm. At least I stopped using the Senator once Verdict was buffed.

I mostly run senator for reinforced scout strider 2 taps.

First. get these from the base Warbong
Helldivers Mobilize
- SG-8 Punisher
- P-19 Redeemer
- SG-225 Breaker
- LAS-5 Scythe
- AR-23P Liberator Penetrator
- R-63CS Diligence Counter Sniper

With that one youre basically set for anything the game throws at you
After that I would recommend those:

- JAR-5 Dominator

Polar Patriots
- AR-61 Tenderizer
- SMG-72 Pummeler
- G-13 Incendiary Impact
- P-113 Verdict
- Motivational Shocks (not slowed down by Shrieker,Hunters, Stalkers)

Cutting Edge
- LAS-16 Sickle
- ARC-12 Blitzer
- SG-8P Punisher Plasma
- Localization Confusion (basically less breaches)

Democratic Detonation
- G-123 Thermite
- R-36 Eruptor
- GP-31 Grenade Pistol


Those are not that important
Viper Commandos, Chemical Agents, Freedom's Flame*

* that one is cool if you like to play with Flamethrower otherwise its pretty much useless

The most recent fire/toxic ones offer literally zero actual value and are a complete waste of your credits/money
But the rest all have some decent things in.
In the end its your credits bro...do whatever you want lol :emofdr: After the super buff patch all the basic stuff obliterates every enemy with ease so you can just pick whatever you like.

Pump action fire shotgun is S tier.

The cookout is terrible. Just a worse fire breaker in every single way except for stagger.
