Should i get cutting edge jsut for the sickle?

[|Revenge|]

just got my first 1k super credits and i'm trying to decide which warbound i'll be buying first, the sickle is a very good weapon right now but i think it's the only good thing inside the warbound? i don't really know.

Besides, the new warbound has a bunch of stuff that seens quite interesting but i really wanted the sickle. What do you guys think? what warbound should i get with my SP?

If you're trying to min/max your ship, don't have a dedicated team and often play public, then the Sickle is a nice crutch when other players are alerting all the patrols to call in reinforcements on you because of that 'infinite ammo'.

Otherwise, I find myself gong back to Liberator because it feels more fun to use or using the Scythe because it has reliable explosive damage, allowing you to deal with mid-pen enemies easier.

it depends on your playstyle really;
-steeled veteran:
you want to run and gun. do you like medium armor and feeling like rambo squashing light to meduim targets? then this is the warbonds for you.

-cutting edge:
You're the electric one of the group, you like to lay down support fire and not have to deal with inferior reloading. you are the future and your weapons remind you of that ever time you see that ice slowly slide down with no reload. truly contains the best autorifle in the game the "sickle". the shotgun is like a skilled based weapon with very limited range but packs a wallop

-democratic detonation;
you like things that go bomb, hit hard and plays even harder. this set contains the best dmr in the game, the eruptor. it hits far, deals damage, and turns you into the deadly scout you always wanted. if you like sneaking past enemies to shooting from far range then this is the warbond for you. you take down the quality targets not the quantity.

Stun Grenade is also very very good. But good question, if I had to choose between the 3 Warbonds..... The only thing I like about the newest warbond is the Crossbow. And I love the Crossbow. The grenade pistol is great, but the Redeemer I find more useful. The Jar Dominator is very powerful but slow to aim like the Eruptor, Id rather use the Scorcher over the Dominator. I think youre right the Sickle and Stun grenade in the second one are very good overall.

Sickle is fun, its totally worth it if the ammo economy is really your biggest complaint. Its not the end all be all, but its a good weapon.

[Coconut Cola]

If you want the meta, then the best weapon right now is the dominator from the Steeled Veterans warbond, but this is a PvE game, (I take the sickle to cold planets sometimes to change things up) so buy whichever you want. The sickle is not a bad weapon.

I think the sickle is one of the better weapons in the game, but a lot of the opinions on guns are very subjective. You're not going to get a consensus unfortunately.

My personal opinion is that the sickle (cutting edge) and the grenade pistol (detonation) are the best two pickups out of all the weapon choices in the premium warbonds, but as I say, opinions differ wildly.

they were nerfed sadly so they're kinda useless against tanks/bile titans which really made them good. its like why would i care to stun a group of enemies when i can just blow them to smithereens...

Depends on what difficulty you wish to play.
If you stick to diff 7-9 the game spams a lot of armored enemies, so the Sickles lack of medium armor piercing gets annoying and slows you down.

If you are playing the lower difficulties then the sickle becomes possibly the best automatic rifle/smg , lots of bullets before its close to overheating and the occasional armor you can handle with your heavy weapon.

Meh they never worked against tanks to begin with. They just took away the ability to stun Bile Titans. Being able to stun multiple Hulks in Helldive is their true calling. Also being able to stun entire groups of enemies while the airstrike or orbital timer counts down. Or if you need to shut down a Jammer tower quick just stun all the enemies and run through.

Oh and they can save your team mates pretty well if they are surrounded and you cant shoot coz youll kill your teammate.

If youve got the Credits saved up then sure, but if you havent and are looking at spending real monies, just use the base Liberator, thats assuming youre not wanting the Sickle to prop you up for your lack of trigger discipline or aiming skill ofc, lol

No-

Its a core item in a build that tries to ignore ammo constraints. Use it bud if you like it. There is no perfect solution here, your taste is going to come into contact with reality and only through that can you inform your palate.

[Revalopod]

Sickle is a great all rounder.
IMO, the best bug weapon is the incendiary breaker and the best bot weapon is scorcher. But the best weapon for both bugs and bots is definitely the Sickle.

[Thienen]

Sickle is excellent for the bots, able to gun down devastators very well if you aim for their crotch. The other main reason to get Cutting Edge would be the booster that adds 30 seconds to the dropship/breach cooldown. I'd definitely recommend getting Cutting Edge first for those two things, then the Democratic Detonation for the grenade pistol.

[SINONS]

If you really want an all around weapon then get the Sickle, amazing for both bugs and bots, but the armor sets on the warbond, not so great.

But if you're looking for more playstyle alternatives the new warbond might be better, just because of the Eruptor and the Grenade pistol which are very amazing weapons and opens a much more way for you to use different stratagems, especially when you rock the Eruptor.
