You can definitely use SCs that you find in-game to buy warbonds. I own all three of the currently-available premium warbonds, and I only paid real money for one of them. The other two I bought with SCs I picked up from missions, and I currently have another 1K SCs ready to buy the next one.
Supercredits are what you use to buy the battle passes themselves. 1,000 a pop. At 119 hours in I have bought the two recent ones with super credits, but I bought the other one with real money on release.
I have close to enough to buy the upcoming one as well with supercredits.
Yeah but at least the war bonds give you 300 credits for the next war bond and honestly I don’t mind this little bit of grind since I’m an older gamer and my group don’t mind dropping to medium difficulty to just steam roll a win and catch up on life so grinding credits isn’t too bad.
Was the case since the first one though no? All the bonds have several weapons and a booster to unlock. Not defending mtx here but it is hardly a surprise
The first one was actually worse because it was only DLC there, no earnable in game currency. In 2 you can easily farm it on trivial missions if you don’t mind a little tedium, but you also just earn it as you play if you explore.
I’ve just about everything worth buying in the earned market, and looking at how many Medals that is (in total >1.2k IIRC), there is no fucking way I’m paying $$$ to match that in Premium War Bonds, much less exceed that to unlock the tiers w/ items I might find useful.🖕🏽☠️
You cant pay for warbond medals, only supercredits, which can buy the warbonds themselves (battle passes), and the armor pieces that rotate through the superstore, but nothing else.
Edit: the superstore armors have unique visuals, but so far I have not seen one that has unique mechanical effects, though I could be wrong, I don’t look in there much
Sorry, I’m super tired and conflating terms. The “Premium War Bonds” menus that can only be unlocked with cash vs. the finite War Bonds menu (singular) that take medals for everything (including SC chips). Does that make sense?
I’m sitting on 2100 credts before this thing even dropped, and it gives 300 credits inside the warbond, so it’s a net cost of 700 credits. That’s like a week or two of casual play.
NGL, getting kinda tedious with the paid cosmetics edging away from looks only and into functional improvements beyond non-premium war bond access.
You can get super credits in game, so it’s not like they’re actually paywalled.
Grindwalled ;)
You have to grind samples and requisition and medals but nobody’s complaining about those 🤷
SC are SC, but “Premium War Bonds” are not purchasable via those and require actual cash, am I wrong?

Wait, ferreal? What am I missing? I thought I tried to buy the premium war bonds with SC and it sent me to the cash money menu. 😶
On PC there’s a button at the lower right to buy with super credits, if you don’t have 1,000 it might try to take you to the store, I’m not sure
Thank you for being the only one to actually help an exhausted fellow helldiver out. Go with Liberty, citizen. 🤘🏽
No problem, just want people to be informed!

Looks at ~65hrs
I know nothing. 🥹
you are wrong. Super credits are found in game, and can also be purchased with cash. There is nothing that requires cash in game.
Yes, I’ve said as much in another, earlier reply, but thanks for reading. 🤓
