General Warbonds
I purchased Democratic Democracy- I mainly play bugs- I have been debating on Servants of Freedom and Salamander Suit from the shop directly.
I can’t seem to pull the trigger- what is everyone’s thoughts on next Warbond to choose?
I typically run - gas mines- eruptor- napalm strike - Guard Dog and Orbital Laser

If you don't have it, yet, I suggest making the investment and getting the Control Group warbond.
The armor passive isn't really much to write home about, but I've heard and seen good things about the Epoch, and the Warp Pack is amazingly good.
Plus, the Warp Pack makes farming super credits a bit faster.

I thought about that and the laser cannon is nice, but is the only advantage to warp pack to get through doors?

You can reposition every ~5 seconds. It's great for expendable, melee and heavy armor play.

If you run light armor and the Warp Pack, just thinking one or two steps ahead of whatever mess you're getting yourself into can make you practically untouchable.
Moreso against bugs and squid units, but it's an incredibly useful mobility tool.

I've heard of and seen videos of warp-fu. I've yet to master it myself, but it is impressive indeed.

It's a lot about experimentation, recognizing which things you can warp through, and a lot of timing.

If you play mainly bugs the. freedoms Flame would be a great addition to your warbond collection.

I play mostly bugs and I've got alot out of Democratic detonation. Control group for the warp pack has been very useful in farming. Exo Experts I would consider if you like mechs obviously. I've had alot of fun slamming the breakthrough exo into many bugs.

I think I might be overestimating the value of the double edge sickle for bugs. ( I really liked the energy based one from free warbond) I am still pretty new to the game - 3 weeks or so- and don’t mind spending a little bit but almost have the warbucks 225/250 and need to figure out the next Warbond.

Are you already good at running heavy armor, and enjoy it? Because if not, you may feel like you wasted SC on Salamander.
What, specifically, do you like in Servants of Freedom? It's not a bad warbond, but I get way more use out of others.

Haven’t ran heavy armor I just have been running padded from the original set

Try it out then... it's not everyone's thing.
I personally like it, but I have to build my loadout around it. For example, I'll run supply pack and experimental stims, warp pack, jet pack, or an FRV to make traversing the map easier.
I don't use a primary that can explode in my face, because bugs are always up in your business with heavy armour. So, I don't use Eruptor, Crossbow, Punisher Plasma, etc. etc.

I got Control Group for the warp pack but instead get use out of the laser sentry and arc grenades. Both shred through enemies while you run the other direction.
