Deployment checklist
Your next steps
- Open Ironclad Democracy in the Acquisitions panel.
- Check access cost and page progression before spending.
- Choose Arbitrator for a rifle-based kit.
- Pair Evictor with a fast non-explosive support weapon.
- Keep a separate recurring answer to heavy targets.
- Coordinate fire, homing explosives and EAT sharing.
Is Ironclad Democracy worth buying?
Buy for a weapon you plan to put into a real loadout, then treat armor and boosters as supporting value. Arbitrator fits a player who wants normal rifle engagement plus an emergency shotgun option; Evictor suits a player willing to manage explosive spacing and individual grenade reloads. If your current weapons already cover those roles, compare Cutting Edge for heat-managed or arc weapons and Democratic Detonation for explosive utility before spending.
How to unlock the catalogue and its weapons
Use the Acquisitions panel aboard the Destroyer to choose Ironclad Democracy. Super Credits unlock the catalogue; Medals pay for its individual rewards and contribute to page access. Inspect the page containing your target item before buying: catalogue access alone does not immediately equip every weapon. Plan the path to the item you want instead of spending Medals on cosmetics before your working loadout is ready.
Weapons, armor and boosters compared
Read each item as a solution to a loadout gap. The recommendations below translate the announced functions into mission roles; they do not assign untested damage breakpoints.
| Item | Function | When to equip |
|---|---|---|
| AR-11 Arbitrator | Primary · rifle + underslung shotgun | Choose for normal rifle fire with a close-range backup; keep a separate heavy answer. |
| GL-15 Evictor | Primary · pump-action grenade launcher | Choose for spaced-out explosive shots into clusters; use a fast support weapon during reloads. |
| P-34 Breacher | Secondary · sticky explosive projectiles | Add explosive utility beside a non-explosive primary; leave room before firing. |
| G-60 Anti-Tank Seeker | Throwable · homing explosive drone | Pick when armored vehicles are the gap; preserve a second heavy tool for consecutive threats. |
| G-8 Immolation | Throwable · fire coverage | Use for an approach you can leave clear of teammates; carry anti-armor elsewhere. |
| Blunt-Force Mitigation | Armor passive · knockdown resistance; 30% less impact/collision damage | Pick for disruptive knockdowns; this reduction refers to impact/collision damage. |
| Surplus EAT Allocation | Booster · two free EAT uses per mission | Coordinate the squad’s extra launchers; keep recurring anti-armor in your normal slots. |
| Integrated Extinguishers | Booster · faster extinguishing | Consider with a fire-focused squad; clear flame zones before moving together. |
Two starting loadouts for the new weapons
Rifle package: AR-11 Arbitrator, GP-31 Grenade Pistol if owned, a stun grenade, Recoilless Rifle, Eagle Airstrike, Orbital Precision Strike and a sentry. The rifle handles routine enemies, the pistol covers explosive utility, and the Recoilless reserves a heavy answer; its backpack occupies your backpack slot. Explosive package: GL-15 Evictor, LAS-7 Dagger, a stun grenade, Stalwart, Supply Pack, Orbital Precision Strike and Expendable Anti-Tank. Use Stalwart while Evictor is reloading and keep explosive shots away from teammates crossing your lane.
Armor choice, EAT sharing and friendly-fire spacing
BFM-16 Tanker is the light armor and BFM-220 Ironclad the heavy option; choose movement or protection for the route you expect to hold. Their passive reduces impact and collision damage by 30% and helps resist knockdowns, so keep that damage category distinct from weapon or explosion damage. Surplus EAT Allocation gives two free EAT uses per mission: tell teammates where launchers are available and retain your normal heavy-response slot. With Immolation or Evictor in the squad, call the fire zone before everyone pushes through the same doorway.
