I got the super citizen edition. One of my friends joined, and I made fun of him for being a lowly cadet with no drip. He promptly bought the upgrade. An hour or so later, another friend of ours joined, and we both also made fun of him for being a cadet with no drip. He, too, promptly joined us in the ranks of super citizens.

I think they did deluxe edition good, it's there to support the devs and you can get most of the things through playing ingame. (few like cosmetics and smg are unique but not op)

[@el-low6663]

The smg is pretty damn good dps wise, but the shotgun is just OP both ammo and dps wise so the smg seems meh next to it

[@OP10thNakama]

I like how the grind isn't too egregious either. And since the bonds never expire you can basically pick and choose what you want to get.

[@PremedComrade-25]

Yeah unlike most battlepasses its comforting to know its not just gonna pressure me into playing 24/7 on a time limit so I get my money's worth out of it. It's not too difficult to unlock in-game either if you really gun it for the points of interest around the map after the main objective is done.

[@RhinoTTH]

Forcing your players to play your game daily is a good way to make them hate the game, especially when it.comes to casuals. If I get off a long shift and I'm not in the mood to play 3 hours of fortnite, guess I'm not finishing that battle pass! Or I have to pull myself into the chair, play a couple matches, and go to sleep with a distain and anxiety for the game.

[@RhinoTTH]

I really hope other games copy the helldivers war bond formula. Weaponized fomo is the WORST plague on live service gaming

[@Oppositesleeper]

Best video on the super citizen contents. There are a few but none of them give the details you do. Perfect.

[@GameLeaderR]

When I saw Warbond had different items in it I was worried that the DLC would have OP exclusive items so it's nice to see it's mostly cosmetic and the gun has a fun but limited gimmick. Thanks for the info.

Considering the full auto pistol, impact grenade, and the Breaker shotgun all come from the standard Warbond you’re just buying the premium one for drip. Most the op endgame stuff is in the standard Warbond. While the premium Warbond really only has the drip and the Incendiary Breaker shotgun which I’ll admit is at least A tier.

As far as what you get for the upgrade maybe it is not worth it. But to support this game and the developers. To keep content coming in the future. Absolutely! This game is awesome!

[@Amfneey]

Just came across your channel, Stefan. I absolutely have been loving the game. I decided to break down and buy the Super Citizen Upgrade. I personally think it's worth it just for the Warbond alone, but I like the armor, cape, and Title we get with it as well. Ive played probably 12.5 hours so far, and it's been nothing but a blast (except when my squadmates blow me up with an airstrike without alerting me) 😂. Keep up the awesome work! Lets give those bugs a taste of Liber-Tea!

[@SirStefanGaming]

The thing that made smg very good is that its one handed therefore u can sprint and shoot as well as holding obj in one hand and still use primary. For the sprint and shoot u can turn crosshair on all the time in setting instead of dynamic

Thank you very much in the end I decided to go for the base version since I didn't have that much money to spend, but I'm happy to know that I can still unlock the Premium Pass, in the time I played Helldivers 1 and what a great game.

[@SirStefanGaming]

At your service :) Yeah that's what's so great about the Warbond system, no need to rush since they will remain available at all times.

wasnt a value for money question for me, i knew i was gonna go hard on this game and considering the launch price was more fair than most games i wanted to support these guys, the premium armor/weapons are pretty nice tho

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@r4yker442]

Where Dominator shines, it's Cyborg missions, why? It one-shots any visible Cybrog head - from typical goon to Rocket /Devastator - learning curve is indeed steep (with how barrel is offset from the reticle (on closer ranges you have to actually aim with laser pointer instead of red dot sight)), but having 15 rounds of possibly up to 15 dead cyborgs per magazine is an immeasurable advantage. On top of that, it simply helps you conserve your autocannon ammo due to it's ability to deal with groups of goons (without taking up either resupply or startagem slot)

Might have to go into the game file and download the extra stuff. When I bought premium MK1 I didn’t have the DLC stuff so every time a new character comes out I have to download it, but not in the game itself

[@Caalabuuu]

I hope arrowhead moves into the direction of allow players to unlocking more gear and rewards through challenges or just in game activities since the game was priced. They have a good chance of creating a years worth game if they continue, this was a good video to watch. Maybe all the these “free” to play games could learn from this.

[@SirStefanGaming]

Technically, the major and personal orders are a way to earn more rewards (medals and requisition credits) through timed challenges.

[@frederickbayles4065]

As someone who has all the war bonds thus far and is around lvl 37 I was wondering if it is worth it to get the Super citizen version. I do enjoy the game and am planning on playing it until the next Es or fallout and I don’t mind supporting the developers but is it just the weapon armor cape and mini game? I don’t need a warbond unlocked if I already have it. What else is there? Do you get extra currency? Does it unlock the next warbond?

[@SirStefanGaming]

This far in at lvl 37, in my opinion, with Steeled Veterans unlocked and access to lots of gear: get the SC edition either if you want to support Arrowhead in funding development hours/day to keep improving the game and make sure Joel (& unnamed heroes of the storyline team) can continue bringing the game to life through it's story AND/OR if you reeeeally want to have that armor or mini-game. You don't get extra currency nor will it be a "token" to unlock a next-in-line warbond.

[@bryanbray8358]

Thank u!

[@SirStefanGaming]

You're welcome!

Imo, even if it isnt worth it, if you buy it, it supports the devs even more for such a great game so that they can make better updates. Also the armour just looks cool.

I don’t know if it was something I did, but I ended up with 990 SC after completing the regular warbonds. What do you get the last 10 SC from?

[@Gatoucho]

find them in a mission, should be easy

[@SirStefanGaming]

To add to what @Gatoucho said; try looking around for a yellow blinking pillar of light or try and find half-buried containers (you can breach the door with a frag or a grenade launcher). Those POI's can contain extra Super Credits. 1 find equals 10 SC.

[@dmoneyswagg64]

Currently the gun it comes with is the second best in the game with a significantly higher DPS and anything but the sg 225. Definitely worth a purchase for that alone. All the others items are very fun as well.

[@Coldeagle27]

I bought Super Citizen for the helmet. Just love the look of it, and it fits well with the other uniform parts that come with Super Citizen so I'm wearing those as well. I don't use the title ingame because that would take away the joy from me for unlocking a new rank every few levels. Also like to support the devs.

[@GeneralZeroOfficial]

The incendiary shotgun under the premium warbonds is ridiculous. Having the premium immediately gets you access to it sooner. While you can get it for free, it will take much longer. Just one of us having it, in my friend group, has made a huge difference.

[@SirStefanGaming]

Yeah that particular shotgun is very good: 1 mag can down a Brood Commander and those annoying Spitters (almost like the large Beetle fire Arachnid from Starship Troopers)

[@connorroach-bowler430]

One thing i would like to know is if you have got the steel veterans already, but then want to get the super citizen upgrade, do you get reimbursed for the super credits spent for the steel veterans warbond?

[@SirStefanGaming]

You can create a support ticket with Arrowhead and they should reimburse you in-game

[@Mad-rg9sz]

If you already have the premium warbond and buy the upgrade do you get the super credits it would cost or do you just lose out?

You can create a support ticket with Arrowhead and they should reimburse you in-game

[@ootastelessoo7667]

2:43 one thing you missed on the sub machine gun is u can run and shoot with it u dont have to aim. And since its kne handed you can continue running while spraying backwards.

[@SirStefanGaming]

I could have but I left it out because it didn't feel like a huge upside to mention...it's way more inaccurate so unless they are with 2 meters you hit less than half of your shots & the gun empties just as fast so you still end up with nothing.
