Nah nah, the shovels show up at several pois, you dont actually need it though. It’s just kinda flavor, like the break action shotgun showing up everywhere.
The one with samples in the ground, I think I’ve only ever seen one per map at most, but you’ll see a little clearing with a shovel somewhere nearby. If you walk into the clearing you can see the samples in the ground. But like I said, you can just lay down on the ground to reach them, you don’t actually have to dig :)
Siege breakers has alot of fun stuff. The leveler’s alright, I don’t use it but I’ve seen an uptick in it getting used because of the vox engines on bot side (it’ll almost oneshot them). It’s also nice for clearing bases, like a 500kg. The trident’s also an amazing primary.
For backpack items, alot of the good ones are free, just gotta level up. Dog breath’s pretty good, as well as hot dog. Your teammates will hate you if you run the Arc one, get used to putting it away whenever you’re near them. Portable hellbomb is goated, but does have somewhat of a long cooldown.
The dagger’s (laser pistol) alright, it’s not very high damage but it can set stuff on fire I think.
If you want unlimited sidearm, the talon’s amazing for that, in the borderline justice warbond. You can almost use it as a primary weapon.
For higher difficulties, I usually roll with ultimatum. It’s nice having a pocket orbital strike for when big stuff gets in your way.
Democratic denotation’s definitely the top dawg. In addition to it though, it really depends on what you want to do, every warbond kinda has its own theme. All I can say is stay away from the crossovers, because they really don’t add much to the game. I personally love viper commando for the armor and booster, but I like to be in the thick of it with enemies.
For solo play, urban legends has the antitank enplacement, which is really fun on bot missions. Control group has the warp pack which lets you access bunkers on your own. Chemical agents has the gas grenades, which is good for crowd control. Struggling to think of more solo play warbonds, maybe the stealth one that came out recently?
Yep, it’s been king ever since they buffed the hell out of the crossbow and eruptor. Thermites are amazing. Grenade pistol lets you have alot of loadout variety. Adjudicator’s still a solid rifle, just mind the recoil.
All the newer warbonds are kinda niche, or just for fun/style, and they have less content which is annoying
Heavy flamethrower looks fun…but if the other backpack weapons are any indication, it’s gonna be kinda poopoo compared to base flamethrower.
I’m hoping they decide against that and instead also buff maxigun & belt grenade launcher this next patch
