For those unfamiliar with the edf series, this isn’t too bad an offering included. The game makers are good and generally without controversy, the publisher IS a subsidiary of Bandai-Namco
$60 base, $90 for Deluxe is a good value on both accounts.(Deluxe includes the battlepass where they’ve locked the 2 Mission Expansions that, in the past, are worth $15 each) This is the first edf with a battlepass instead of a la carte dlc to buy.
You probably will not use these decoys though, they’re tied to a specific class (air raider) and you have to build to account for having one less weapon in your load. If you like them that’s cool, and the game is worth your money if you want a mission based, class based Helldivers 2. I will probably pick them up because I like the edf series and I’ve been watching this game for the past 2 years.
The general suggestion remains to avoid pre-ordering games, but it’s your money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Eh I mean, if you think the developers/publishers are trustworthy I see no issue with preordering personally (Not that I know much about these ones, I only heard about the series from clips, it was more of a generic statement).
