I like the new warbond <3
Too much negativity here on the forum. So I'll add some positivity.

The new warbond comes with a couple of good things and a couple of bad things.

I'll start with the bad things since everyone seems to post about that and then move on to the good side of the new warbond.

No Heavy Armor just two similar looking medium armors and the light armor is premium. This is a huge miss imho, they should have added a heavy armor variant at the very least to this warbond since the armor explodes upon your death they should have added a heavy armor variant with heavy explosive belt that did extra damage upon detonation 😂

Less content than other warbonds. Ahhh I'm torn on this point, I don't even think it's really true. There's less skins in it and fluff for sure but it's got some interesting new stuff in it which brings me to the good things on this bond.

Double Edged Sickle, I think is an interesting concept, finally a medium pen infinite laser weapon just as I had been praying to helldiver jesus for before they dropped this warbond. It does leave a little to be desired in that it cools down slow and you can't really sustain a long fire rate before it starts hurting ya but ya know I'd rather the devs deliver something under powered initially than overpowered which would demand nerfs as this way they can always buff it later if and settle into its own niche.

Rumor has it you can pair it with the fire resist and health passive to make you immune to a large portion of the overheat damage from it which is actually a really cool synergy and finally gives you a reason to bust out the flame resist armors. I sincerely hope they DO NOT patch this out because it's one of the few times that the fire armor actually has a good reason to be used.

The new Nuke Pistol is also hilariously fun to use. You can blow up detector towers with it and allegedly stratagem jammers and it sure packs a hell of a punch! It's just 2 shots but each shot counts baby! I'm definitely rolling with this one for a while! The explosion is just pure bliss and it's insanely fun. I hope they don't nerf it since you are sacrificing a decent secondary for it nowadays.

The new armor passives that cause you to explode after you are killed is actually hilariously fun and satisfying to use. That stupid pouncer struck you down or that berserker killed you with his chainsaw arms? Well eff you too! I'm taking you down with me 💥! That definitely makes that death feel a little less painful and a little more joyful 😂 Loving the theme of self detonation in this warbond.

Now that's all I have tested so far. There's still the portable hellbomb which will probably have its own hilarious gameplay meta with it and the kamikaze drone which I'm personally really looking forward to testing the most once I get the medals to unlock it. It's honestly so far my most anticipated item in this warbond.

I also really enjoy the roman themes of this warbond. Previous warbond with greek inspired so now we got the romans and I'm 100% gonne roll with the new Servant of Freedom title that it brings.

Happy gaming you all 🥰

Yeah fire resist armor, health passive, edge sickle, seeker drone, nuke pistol plus a supply backpack is going to be one hell of a combo now.
the nuke pistol (which i lovingly refer to as the 50kg) is a beast when paired with a supply pack and siege ready. 3 rounds of ♥♥♥♥ you explosives, a backpack with 4 more and also its light armour so you can get close and far away quick, my only complaint is the range but its fair cause otherwise it would be OP

It has only 17 items and costs 600 (598) medals in total. That is a record low for Warbonds. It also took em about 2 months to make it too I guess.

(The Buff Sickle is neat, most likely will not use it tho.
The Nade Pistol + is good.
Portable Hellbomb is kinda a meme strat.

The new armour passive is pretty useless tho.)
