    Id say buy it after you beat the normal warbond (assuming a new one hasn’t come out yet). Some of the cosmetics are cool. The guns are alright (the revolver is interesting, but the machine pistol in the free battle pass is better imo).

    It does have more super credits in it, but I can’t remember off the top of my head if it has 1000 ( so that it would pay for itself by beating it)

    Yes, if you want to unlock the stuff that’s in the warbond. In the future there will be more warbonds. So you can also save your uber credits. But don’t worry, as far as I know, all warbonds will be available for ever. So you never miss out on certain items, as you’ll always be able to unlock them later on

      I realize you can’t trust devs typically, but multiple review sites have said everything in game is available forever, and can be attained just by playing. All mtx are optional only. They didn’t dick around on the last one, and they’ve earned a ton of goodwill already.

        I would agree with you but putting weapons behind a premium battle pass does feel kind of scummy.

          What weapons are locked behind premium? The only items that require premium currency are cosmetics. The second warbond requires mission progression to unlock. Idk if you can pay to unlock it sooner but you def don’t need to pay to do so.

            The premium war bond has weapons the free one does not. These are the weapons:

            AR-243 Liberator Explosive
            P-4 Senator
            SG-225IE Breaker Incendiary
            JAR-5 Dominator

              As I suspected and have now confirmed, the premium warbond is 1000 super credits to unlock. It requires no actual money. You can farm super credits in game, they are random pickups from map events, and are the only pickup not shared with squad mates. You can also pay real money for them if you want. To farm them, play single player or private on easier difficulties and you can get 1K pretty quickly as there is usually one drop per map. You can also get 1000 super credits by unlocking them in the free warbond. Each tier has 100-200 super credits that you claim with mission medals like everything else in the warbond. Note that you need to spend increasing medals per tier anyway, so you’ll probably get them from at least the first 3 tiers just to get the next tier unlocked.

              Paying real money only accomplishes unlocking them sooner. The community consensus on the weapons is that they all generally suck and are inferior to the standard warbond weapons, so if you were tempted to pay, use that to inform your decision. It’s entirely plausible that if you wait and don’t pay you’ll eventually unlock them and then never use them anyway. None of the stratagems are warbond items either, and stratagem weapons are going to be your bread and butter for the most part.

                Super credits actually are shared as well, but they don’t show up as a pick up notification for some reason.
