Is the new Chemical Agents Warbond worth it in Helldivers 2?

It’s hard to say yes or no to the new Warbond just because there are only a few items that would be worth getting it for. If you have the 1,000 Super Credℱits to spare, then by all means, go for it. 

All the new buffs and balance changes overshadow the ne꧟w items, especially with fire damage being back at its ☂prime. On top of that, the weapons introduced in the Chemical Agents Warbond act just like the current flame weapons in the game. 

Gas does provide significant AoE effects like blinding and dazing enemies. Those affected will also start attacking one another, which has 𝐆a lot of utility. It’s just that things that incinerate enemies will kill them a lot quic🏅ker.

Aside from the new Stim Pistol and the cosmetics, you’ll still be way better off getting something like the Freedom’s Flame Warbond since most items🐻 there function the same as the ones here. 

This isn’t to say that the new gas tech here isn’t good. They have very good crowd-control potential. If you’re just looking to get additional things to play with, then by all means, go for it. This won’t break the meta like the newly buffed Thermite Grenades or the Orbital Napalm Barrage.

This will act as a good Medal sink if you hไave been sitting on 250 for quite some time now. The 300 reimbursed Super Credits are nice, paired with the other cool cosmetics. So, unless you have spare Super Credits to dump into this Warbond, you can probably skip it for now.
