Deployment checklist

Your next steps

  • Select Ironclad Democracy in Acquisitions.
  • Pick Arbitrator for rifle fire plus a shotgun option.
  • Pick Evictor for explosive primary fire.
  • Use the armor passive for knockdown and collision pressure.
  • Plan Medals for your target equipment page.
  • Compare older catalogues before buying for novelty alone.
01

Which Warbond is the latest?

Ironclad Democracy is the latest Premium catalogue in the official release feed checked October 10. The release date is September 22. Use this page to identify the current catalogue, then open the dedicated Ironclad Democracy guide for equipment-by-equipment decisions.

02

Choose between the three new weapons

Arbitrator is the rifle option with an underslung shotgun. Evictor is a pump-action grenade launcher that reloads individual rounds, making spacing and reload cover central to its use. Breacher is a secondary firing sticky explosive projectiles. Choose the slot you need to improve first: ordinary primary fire, explosive primary control, or secondary utility.

03

Throwables, armor and squad utility

Anti-Tank Seeker adds a homing explosive drone for armored-vehicle pressure; Immolation creates fire coverage. Blunt-Force Mitigation armor helps resist knockdowns and reduces impact/collision damage by 30%. The boosters offer two free EAT uses per mission or faster extinguishing. Buy for the problem your usual squad repeatedly faces, rather than counting cosmetics as a combat upgrade.

04

Unlock access, then spend Medals deliberately

Open the catalogue in the Acquisitions panel, check the access cost, and inspect the item pages before spending Super Credits. After access is unlocked, Medals are used for rewards and page progression. If you have enough for only one early upgrade, work toward the weapon you will equip immediately instead of completing every cosmetic first.

05

Premium versus Legendary: compare within the category

Exo Experts launched April 28 and remains an equipment option for Exosuit-focused play, including Lumberer and Breakthrough. Castellan’s Creed arrived with Devoid of Liberty on August 12 as a Legendary crossover. Keep the categories separate when comparing prices and equipment; an older catalogue can still be the more useful purchase for your mission role.
