Warbond
4.6
(235)
"Thermite / Grenadepistol alone are incredible and open up a ton of loadout options."
"Do you want demolition or anti-tank on your primary loadout? Democratic Detonation."
"Steeled veterans is probably the best value for its credits."
"Urban Legends (for AT Emplacement, Car, Directional Shield, Flame Sentry, Kick Emote, Stun Lance)"
"Servants of freedom would be my number 1 pick. The double edged sickle & the ultimatum are really good weapons."
"Urban legends is one of the best ones I've bought after getting them all."
"My favorite is borderline justice. The hover pack is my new favorite stratagem and I run it pretty much every mission now."
"SoF and it's not close. I use just about everything there every time I play."
"Democratic detonation is the first WB a new player should get."
"SoF has ultimatum and hellbomb pack. These are both amazing and can trivialize bot jammers."

Democratic Detonation
4.9
(82)
"Democratic Det. the real question is what will be the SECOND warbond? From most recommended to least (others either aren't recommended or I don't have it yet): Steeled veterans (especially against bots) The Senator is the strongest combat pistol, Jar 5 dominator is great (kinda wonky but you'll get used to it) Servants of Freedom has the Hellbomb backpack which is great at sabotaging outposts"
"Democratic Detonation - The weapons are both really strong in damage and provide great utility."
"DD is widely held as the best warbond."
"I think im gonna go with democratic detonation."
"Democratic detonation and Polar Patriots offer the most access to unique class builds."
"Based on what I use myself, I would recommend Democratic Detonation first."
"Democratic Detonation is the best competitive choice for the thermites alone."
"Democratic detonations is fairly unsexy but useful."
"Democratic detonation has, what I call the skeleton keys of the game."
"Democratic Detonation is where I would begin."
#3
Cutting Edge
4.5
(44)
"The Cutting edge warbound is incredible for the armor resistance to electricity."
"Cutting Edge is probably my favorite at this point."
"Cutting edge, blitzer is peak for bugs and squids with sickle being great for bots."
"Thank you all for your help, seems like I will get the cutting edge wb next."
"Cutting Edge does get you the laser pistol secondary which has become quite staple in my loadouts."
"Cutting edge."
"Cutting edge. The sickle is awesome."
"Cutting edge will add a lot of variety to your kit."
"Cutting Edge. No contest."
"Many say Cutting Edge and yes that Sickle is a bot's worst nightmare."

warbond
4.5
(43)
"Chemical Agents - GAS is incredible, especially if you get the Heavy GAS armor from the Superstore."
"Chemical agents if you're a bug diver and urban legends if you're a bot diver."
"Honestly, id go chemical agents if you hate bugs. Gas dog is bonkers at making the bugs less annoying and keeping you alive."
"Gas granade from chemical agents is SS+tier granade and you get a fart dog as well."
"Cutting edge. Blitzer is king vs terminds."
"Democratic detonation is (imho) probably still one of the best warbonds."
"Democratic Detonation for sure. The main reason is because it gives you heavy AT capability in your grenade slot."
"My favorite is democratic detonation. The explosive crossbow, and thermite grenades are awesome!"
"Demo is the best first one, the crossbow, thermite are elite."
"I recommend trying the democratic detonation, or steeled veterans first."

Steeled Veterans
4.7
(32)
"Steeled Veterans is the best because of the JAR-5 and the Breaker Incendiary."
"Steeled Vets has the best guns on that list."
"Steeled Vets is, from a meta standpoint, the best."
"I will say the senator from steeled veterans is super satisfying against bots."
"Steeled vets 100% Breaker Incendiary, JAR-5 Dominator, and servo assist armor. Amazing stuff all the away around."
"In your place, I would go for **Steeled Veteran**, just for the **Dominator**, because it's especially strong against medium enemies."
"I personally like steeled veteran the breaker incendiary is one of the best bug weapons and the dominator is a great gun for bots."
"Steeled veterans and democratic detonations have the best weapons of the game and almost the best grenades and secondaries."
"I think for new people the veterans bond is probably the best to grab, has to of the best weapons in the game."
"Steeled Veterans gives u the Dominator primary, for many it's one of the best in the game."
#6
Polar Patriots
4.3
(12)
"Polar Patriots is the best."
"Polar Patriots has the best AR (tenderizer) the only real scorcher alternative (purifier) plus the verdict is a nice pistol."
"The Purifier from Polar Patriots is easily the best to deal with the Overseers."
"Steeled veterans or polar patriots. Polar for the tenderizer. Good AR."
"I like the polar patriots for the pummeler."
"Polar patriots, steeled veterans, freedom flames, cutting edge are all really good."
"I would recommend polar patriots because of both the tenderizer and purifier."

"Polar patriots has the incendiary impact grenade and some pretty good weapons, including the purifier and tenderizer which are very good rn."
"Polar Patriots has some nice weapons."
#7
Grenade Pistol
5.0
(6)
"The grenade pistol is incredible imo, it opens you up to having a more flexible grenade slot."
"Grenade Pistol is a must-have in my opinion. Gets me out of so many jams."
"The grenade pistol is very good when you need your loadout to have reliable hole closing / fabricator breaking ability."
"The grenade pistol is great for bugs, I would say essential now."
"I find the grenade pistol to be essential for opening up build variety."
"The grenade pistol is the only weapon I never swap out."
#8
Freedom's Flame
4.5
(6)
"Freedom flame. Cookout is a menace."
"Beat warbond for bugs is easily freedom's flame."
"Freedom’s Flame."
"IMO the most impactful for making new builds is probably Freedom's Flame for the Cookout and flame resist armor or Chemical Agents for the gas grenade. Cutting Edge is probably the best on average, in that every item in the warbond is pretty strong."
"I’d say freedoms flame if like bugs primarily."
"If you like fire damage against bugs/squids, then maybe the crisper sidearm from Freedoms Flame is worth it."
#9
Steel Veterans
4.0
(4)
"My favorite war bonds ranked. 1. Steel Veterans 2. Cutting Edge 3. Democratic Detonation."
"I'd go for Steeled Veterans next."
"Steel Veterans."
"Overall the Steel Veterans Warbound is worth your SC as mostly everything in there is viable."
#10
Democratic Demolition
5.0
(3)
"1st Democratic Demolition > 2nd Cutting Edge > 3rd Polar Patriots > 4th Anything else"
"Get the democratic demolition and thanks me later, there youll have all the weapons you need and the best set of armor, just get it"

1. Democratic Demolition (best bot warbond, plus thermites and nade pistol are elite)"
#11
Sickle
4.7
(3)

#12
Urban Legends
4.0
(3)
"Urban legends, polar patriots, and freedoms flame (if you love fire) are all great next options."
"Not necessarily the best but the urban legends warbond has the AT emplacement that is super fun to use"
"The new urban one for the frontal shield and the melee secondary weapon."
#13
Breaker Incendiary
4.5
(2)
"Breaker incendiary and incendiary grenades are very strong for bugs."

#14
Gas Warbond
4.0
(2)
"Gas warbond is top tier for both bugs and illuminate, and is gucci cc for bots."
"The Gas Warbond isn't something I would purchase if I were fighting bots."
#15
Viper Commandos
3.0
(2)
"Even though everyone is shitting on Viper Commandos, it enables a stealthy hit and run style."
"The only one that isn't really worth prioritizing is viper commandos. It's pretty weak compared to the rest."
#16
Noxious Ranger
5.0
(1)
"IMO Gas Grenades from noxious ranger are the single most powerful unlock in the game on diff 10, both bots and bugs."
#17
Punisher Plasma
5.0
(1)
"Whichever one that has the Punisher Plasma in it. That gun almost makes bot missions trivial."
#18

Scorcher
4.0

#22
Servants of Freedom
4.0
(1)
"The newest war bond "Servants of Freedom" is Arrowhead going "You guys aren't dying enough." The armor passive is that when you die, your body blows up, so hope you're not next to your buddies. There's what you mentioned, the portable Hellbomb, so you can have one at any time that anybody can activate."
#23

4.0
