    it’s a major shift in how warbonds work, for that reason alone it’s a big deal. as far as responsibility goes, i’d invite you to find empathy for those who were suddenly impacted by this change. additionally i believe we should be advocates to make more experiences accessible to all people, regardless of financial constraints, time constraints, or other circumstances.

      As I said, the article is very poorly written. I’m unsure if they mean that there’s a Strat’ coming that’ll cost “SC” or if they are referring to the Warbond. Because Warbonds have always cost 1000SC. Zero change.

      And no, it’s only your responsibility whether or not you engage with a specific game. There’s tons of great games out there, not every single one has to cater to your specific needs.

      Welp, as it turns out, it was just another Warbond. Not a Stratagem that cost Super Credits.

      So same old, same old…

          No, it doesn’t. It contains a Support Weapon and it’s just the flamethrower, but green.

          You’re not missing out on anything other than the gas grenades and skins.

          And the grenades can’t open loot containers or close bug holes/fabricators. They are tiny versions of the Gas Strike orbital, but without the explotion.

            ah, i think i understand your confusion

            support weapons are a type of stratagem (you can see other support weapon stratagems here ) unlike normal weapons, such as primary, secondary, or throwable weapons, support weapons are stratagems that are selected before each mission alongside three other stratagems. you can then call them down using their respective stratagem code, and they will arrive in a manner similar to a resupply or like the machine gun support stratagem in the tutorial.
