Imo, not really. You earn enough credits for the premium battle pass through the free battle pass. You also can find credits in mission. So that $10 of that $20 for the Deluxe Edition is solely for shortcutting the Premiun Battle Pass.

The remaining $10 goes towards one outfit, a title, a gun, and a little mini-game people can play on your ship.

Are comparable outfits able to be unlocked for free? And what is the practice arcade? Is that even something worth my time?

I don't think there's a comparable outfit you can get for free so it is exclusive.

The gun I'm not so sure, to be honest.

The practice cabinet is basically a mini-game where you try to input Stratagems as quickly as possible under a strict time limit. It's just a pattern recognition game.

You probably can't login in right now and even if you did matchmaking still doesn't work. We just got a buffed XP weekend almost no one could take part in and we just had a massively overturned "event" where the bots steamrolled your group by reinforcing so fast the dropships clipped through each other and blotted out the sun. The game has some AA jank like getting stuck out of bounds on other people's ships and given the constant struggle the developers have had I doubt any of these smaller bugs that are annoying will get fixed anytime soon. So you decide if a tiny badge and title are worth it for $20. The paid battle pass...oops sorry I mean war bond doesn't have much special in it and even if you don't pay for the war bond with money you can earn premium currency in game...whenever it starts working. So do you want to support this kind of development cycle? If so do you want quicker access to a couple guns and armor you won't use?

If you want to support devs, yes. Otherwise you won't get much value out of it, it has a cool looking armor and title you can show off. Overall you're not missing out on anything if you don't own it, Arcade minigame is for practice calling in stratagems and there is a free armor you can earn that has same perks as the one in the DLC.

It’s worth it I bought cuz why not it’s only 20 you get the premium pass which isn’t anything amazing but it’s more to do you get sum smg but it’s kinda mid but the great part is that outfit the helmet is too big in my opinion but cape and outfit look dope and you can make your title a super citizen making you better than everyone else and let’s be honest it’s for democracy

If you explore its not hard to get the SC for the premium pass, each super credit pickup in a mission is 10 super creds, and you can get over 400-500 from the free warbond as well. long before you complete it. Paid warbond also gives you 300 sc by the time u finish it. Between the free and premium one you basically can earn enough super creds to pay for the paid one entirely. Super creds are usually behind those 2 person bunker doors, or those blinking beacons on the map that lead to those pods you salute/emote to open. Its not rare to find 2-3 super cred packs behind 1, 2 person bunker door.

The gun you get from the Super citizen is kinda crap, basically no one uses it, the armor set is alright, but you can get a free set that has the same passive pretty early.

I am personally pissy about the gun, as that means without super citizen I can never collect all the guns, as I assume its counted in the 29 primarys. Maybe they will make it avail in game later, maybe not, I hope they do tbh.

Other than that you get a fancy title, its honestly not worth the price unless you just want to support the devs a bit more above buying the game. Besides the paid warbond weapons are all generally garbage compared to free variants.

The knight SMG is vastly superior to your starting assault rifle. Like, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I didn't even realize until after I had unlocked shotguns and the default warbond SMG I use instead now that the knight SMG was paid content.

Though the rest of the super warbond seems to be "Uh... does this suck?" "Nuh uh! It is super useful!... against the things it is allowed to be useful against..." "So you use the fire grenades then?" "oh no, I'm not a casual idiot why would I ever use that... But the very last gun hundreds of medals later is great, trust me" back and forth.

So even if you ignore the premium warbond, the SMG that comes along for the ride is the real early game MVP anyways. I won't be surprised if they nerf it once the pre-order hype is gone while never making the basic (or any) assault rifle actually satisfying.

Can't call it a "Skill issue" when a dot sight SMG both premium and standard has easier strafe headshots action in third person, than an assault rifle does with magnified zoom (because bothering with magnifying assault rifle zoom makes your movement wobble worse than a call of duty meme)

There is a comparable armor set you can unlock in the free Warbound on page 5. The helmet however is only available right now through the DLC. As far as the weapon it's ok and there are better weapons found in the free Warbound as well. The DLC is mainly for people who want to support the game developers or Completionist.

Is this an assault by automatons?
The game is broken and doesn't work and you want to buy DLC?
Are you crazy?

You can earn SC in the game easily enough and I'd say, since clearly the playerbase is much larger than devs expect, they must be swiming in money right now. They don't need(or deserve right now lol) that extra cash. Don't buy.

No, I am not a robot (yet).
I don't WANT to buy it, I was just asking for more information about it.

Skip it. I've unlocked everything (and I mean everything) on it and it's not worth it.
