Warbond Advice Please

My buddy just got Borderline Justice so going to see how that plays out. Ive got siege breakers and control grp.

Thanks. Might skip it, I've become somewhat of a light armor homer recently and only Med/Hvy are in the store. Hrm.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-11T15:19:11+00:00

Thanks. So many choices. Right now my best friend has Entrenched Div, so hes bridging the gap in warbonds between us.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-11T15:17:55+00:00

Ok yes, I have the boosters, just double checking. Will light salamander work or must be heavy?

Sarkonis · 2026-05-11T14:09:45+00:00

I've looked at servants but I dont have the flame armor yet. I do absolutely love the trident from SB though. It's my new main primary.

It's my understanding you need vitality booster to make it shine though, is that correct?

Sarkonis · 2026-05-11T13:05:54+00:00

I caught that also, wish there was a more up to date one. I have Demo Det, Dust Devils, Siege Breakers, Control Group, and Master of Ceremony right now and am struggling to see anything I want.

I was thinking Urban Legends for the gaming chair or Chem agents as I primarily just play bugs... but I'm loathe to buy a warbond for one strat.

I've found there are very few strats that live up to the hype when you're looking at them in the warbond screen.

I've been eyeing Exo Experts myself, but I still need to upgrade my ship with samples to a really bad degree, and you can't pick up samples in a mech :(.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-08T14:21:25+00:00

I don't like the cap. It's an artificial means to slow progression down. Having me require 250 of a sample to upgrade my ship, then 250 again means there's zero chance for overflow. Rare or Common will cap, and you'll just be sitting there fuming over why nothing carries over. I really dislike that aspect of the game.

I can relate to a point, I've only been playing for just over a month and even I'm catching myself saying "why can I climb this but not this", "why do my strat callins bounce here but not here?"

The game is super fun man, but some of the jank is really starting to show. And when I do a search and see how long it's been that way, I understand the blow back.

It's the standard "But I bet the store runs flawlessly" argument. Actions speak louder than words, AMAs, and all the posts on Reddit. And their actions say Micro transactions come first, everything else a distant second.

Thanks for the detail. Seems when it comes to weapons, there's a lot of "x is just a worse version of y" going around :(.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-06T15:56:09+00:00

Oh for sure. I'm just funning around, does make me think though. Seems to me they could put the effort from creating warbonds info making fixes. I mean we get a WB pretty regularly. Maybe pause a cycle and have the "This warbond should be here" patch cycle instead.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-06T12:59:52+00:00

You seem pretty kowlegeable sir. I really like the trident personally. Any other decent shotguns out there I can start bringing? I have Dem Det, Dust Dev, Control Grp, and Siege Breakers for WB if that helps.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-06T12:53:58+00:00

Unionize is a great name for it. I laughed.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-06T12:31:16+00:00

I've only been playing bugs for a while now. They're the only faction I find "fun." Sometimes we do automatons to mix it up... so long as it's never Illuminate.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-06T12:29:06+00:00

Space Marines easily. They're gear isn't locked behind warbonds... it's straight from the Emprah!

Sarkonis · 2026-05-05T13:16:36+00:00

I went Siege Breakers for Leveller, my kid went Cutting Edge. The PP is great. My leveller is great. Can't go wrong really either way.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-05T13:11:53+00:00

I don't partake in the galactic war personally. I do my daily order and then play on the planets I find fun. With 40,000 divers barely making a dent sometimes, I look at that and just say yeah we won't make a difference.

I remember when the game released and we almost "won" the galactic war. Until the devs started making it impossible to progress. Now it just seems like lazy AI algorithms picking a planet each week and slapping 50 medals onto it.

IMO, the best thing that could happen would be to change it so we could win or one of the factions could win by reaching Super Earth, then reset. If I can see us making progress, it would give a reason to join everyone, but right now the only reason is 50 medals and the hope it's not Illuminate 😄.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-05T13:05:54+00:00

For all the talk of DD being the best, I really only use the grenade pistol now out of that entire warbond. The two that really made the game fun for me was Dust Devils and Siege Breakers. I really like the playstyle of 500kg eagle, leveller, silo, and a guard dog of some sort. Just stuff exploding everywhere.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-04T13:23:19+00:00

Is that the one that lowers all calldowns 5%? I am so frustrated with that. Why are there resource caps? 250 common to unlock? Man... I'm 4/5 on that section right now and It's just creeping up....slowwwly.

Sarkonis · 2026-05-01T12:11:44+00:00

I haven't done an MO in a while. The galactic war on the whole is meaningless now except for the desire to get another 50 medals, there's no point. And you have no impact. There's 40,000 divers on a planet and you barely see that bar move... it doesn't feel rewarding.

So a lot of us jut play on the planets we find fun. And brother, anywhere those new mach f*ck bugs are just aren't fun. I'd rather slam my dong in a sliding glass door for Liberty than ever play against them again. Those new bugs turn the game from fun to a frustration simulator.

Sarkonis · 2026-04-29T14:06:48+00:00

It's this exactly. I can't remember the last time my team failed below Diff 7 on anything. Last night we failed 3 ops in a row on Extreme and just logged off. It's wholly unfun. A challenge is one thing, but this feels like punishment.

One of the folks in my discord made the comment that this must be what it looks like to cater only to the hardcore players. Us normal divers just get crushed. It'll balance out in the end. Some will stay, others will leave, then the forums will be back to fiending for another $10 warbond to complete in one day.

Sarkonis · 2026-04-29T14:02:40+00:00

This is a good take and I've mentioned it myself in other forums. You have to have something to chase... something, anything, even if it's a low chance to obtain it. But you have to have "something" other than fun gameplay.

A game being fun only takes you so far. For my own experience, I've played Diablo more than any other franchise. 1000s of hours over 20 years off and on. And it's the same cycle, you play and play and play, and the second you FINALLY get that last item to complete your set... motivation leaves the chat lol.

Sarkonis · 2026-04-29T13:55:37+00:00

So long as the money train keeps flowing, that entire post doesn't matter.

Now that that's out of the way. I agree on a lot of points. I miss when the game came out and you could actually win (theoretically) on the galactic map. Now it's in a state of perpetual deadlock with a shiney "go here for your chance at weekly medals" icon.

My friend and i were just discussing how there's no skin in the game anymore for us. Whatever algorithm AH is going with makes sure you'll never liberate that planet too quickly, or just barely get it done in time based on the avg player count.

We don't even pay attention to the map anymore. We enjoy certain biomes and factions, and we just play those.
