Helldivers 2 - All Premium Warbonds Ranked WORST to BEST

Hey dudes - I'm sorry I didn't provide the proper visuals when talking about the Warbonds! Quite honestly, I had a long day and spent so long on the ranking and voice-over, that I thought simple gameplay would be adequate. Clearly an oversight by me. I genuinely just want to provide the best possible content, and this ain't it. Not even close. I hope some of you still enjoy, but I'll do better in the next one. Promise. ❤

It’s funny that the warbonds started strong then got weaker with each new one and vipers is only better than polar because of vibes

I am the Helldiver that likes to watch other Helldivers talk about things

I just want another 10 page free warbond that isn't hindered by a theme, and we can truly get some more unique cosmetics and weapon variety.

sad to have polar patriots at the bottom since the Tenderizer is my fav primary right now, but I understand the ranking.

They tenderizer CANNOT one shot devastators in the head. Dev head health is 125 so it takes at least two.

It would be super helpful if you showed gameplay of the weapons you're talking about when you talk about them

The devs wanted to change warbonds, so they were more thematic and cosmetic, and they will add more free stuff. The theme is top notch on Viper, and for cosmetics is the best, which I think is what the devs intended

I say viper commandos could be two because the Devs agreed possibly that they would give the carbine an under slug shotgun or a grenade launcher

Cutting edge is the best in my opinion. The stun grenades are a game changer. All three primaries are very good in their specific roles. And sure The secondary is lackluster but can still have its uses and specific loadouts and once the aluminate comes out, the armor bonus is going to be a must-have because the aluminant do primarily Arc damage

The illuminate "where did u get electric resistant" helldiver "cutting edge" am i right 😂

I'm a crossbow main currently lol. I basically use it in place of the grenade pistol (since the crossbow is semi-auto, shoots farther and has more ammo than the grenade pistol), use a stun grenade/incendiary grenade, I bring heavy/medium machine gun or stalwart for chaff clear, most tank stuff in the game will die if you shoot out its back (chargers, hulks, tanks). I typically bring orbital precision strike/500kg, and orbital airburst strike for bug breaches and eagle airstrike for bots. I personally have a lot of fun with it and I've found it to be useful, I know people still do not like it but that's only more good news to me because if the community thinks it is weak it'll only get stronger! If it had the explosive radius of an impact grenade and was able to 1 shot Bile Spewers it would become viable IMO, it should realistically kill medium enemies with 1-3 shots. It has a great stagger and is useful for support builds. It has a enough damage that it should 1 shot Devastators in the head at least on paper, and there is a glitch where the damage from the explosion radius is not the same even though in the patch nots it said it would be. My Current loadouts Helldiver Bug Loadout: Crossbow, Bushwhacker, Stun Grenade/Incendiary Grenade Helldiver Bot Loadout: Crossbow/Dominator/Scorcher, Grenade Pistol/Senator, Stun Grenade Stratagem Bug Loadout: Heavy/Medium Machine Gun/Stalwart, Shield Pack/Supply Pack, Orbital Airburst Strike, Orbital Precision Strike/500kg Stratagem Bot Loadout: Heavy Machine Gun/Grenade Launcher/Autocannon, Shield Pack/Supply Pack/Autocannon Backpack, Orbital Precision Strike/500kg, Eagle Airstrike, 380 Barrage (if I take autocannon) Edit: I will occasionally bring out the Incendiary Breaker, however I think I have a justifiable fear that it will be nerfed in the near future. I also fear that the autocannon will be nerfed because it is so versatile and strong against the bots. Flamethrower I fear will also be nerfed so I am currently not playing it because I don't want to rely on "meta" builds if AH is just going to throw them in the trash.

Since the game came out, I've been playing on my wifes PS5 account. This week, she gifted me a shiny new PS5. So i re-bought the game and started a PSN account. I agonized over which warbond to gift myself at first. Amusingly, I chose the warbond thats dead last in the video, "Polar Patriots." I did it because I wanted to surge straight to the Pummeler so I could pair it with the ballistic shield. But I ended up finding the recently buffed Tenderizer so very satisfying as a marksman AR. I seriously got some Halo vibes off of it. Those two guns I think, will do well for me till I can re-earn everything on the new account. Before someone asks why I'am not just using my wife's account still. She decided to start playing Helldivers with me and gets to reap the benefits of my work. She doesn't have all that time to grind.

Man, I really wish the Conduit perk had half of the Scout perk baked into it too, it's fitting imo to have an advanced radar or sight-blocking tech on such futuristic armors and it would at least make them do something other than reduce one rare type of friendly fire to you.

The confusion booster comes in very clutch on defense missions and eradicate missions, almost mandatory on civvy defense missions.

Another good use for the electrical conduit passive is if you use the electric tower

This is such a good list! I had the exact same feelings for the viper commandos warbond, feeling that skins don't effect gameplay enough for purchasing. However, I do like that they don't have 2 medium armor sets with the same passive. I just wish the exo suits and weapons (both primaries and secondaries) had unlockable upgrades, like laser guided tow missles for the patriot exosuit, or perhaps extended barrels or larger magazines for weapon upgrades. Overall great video, keep up the good and unbiased content!

pretty accurate review. I also want to like the verdict however it plainly needs medium pen with the same ammo/damage.

the knife is actually pretty good, I always run it vs bug now due to it ability to kill charger faster than you use a rocket. Chaff clearing main, greande pistol and knife then you can kill any enemy on the bug side, the knife can also stagger stalker like literally stun it and one shot them if you hit their head. pick true anti large support then you can deal with every enemy the bug throw at you.

Great vid and great content. Keep it up.
