Polar Patriots

Overview

  • A strong Core Warbond to pick up. It features some fantastic primary weapons.
  • The PLAS-101 Purifier is one of the best weapons in the game on both the squid and bot fronts. Its fires charged explosive shots that deal massive damage. It’s very ammo efficient, though you will need to bring a strong Secondary as the splash damage can kill the player.
