Helldivers 2 Scope of Authority warbond: date and all items
The Scope of Authority Premium Warbond for Helldivers 2 launches on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. It is built around long-range and stealthy play: a bolt-action sniper rifle, a backpack-fed anti-materiel rifle, a laser rifle, a machine pistol, caltrop grenades and two camouflage armors (Arrowhead on the PlayStation Blog). It needs the base game, Super Credits and game progress to unlock.
Weapons and stratagems
| Item | What it is |
|---|---|
| R-40 Sightliner | Bolt-action sniper rifle as a primary weapon, with armor-piercing rounds and long-range precision |
| AMW-20 Apex | A large, backpack-fed anti-materiel rifle with assisted reload, made for heavily armored enemies |
| LAS-44 Nova | Laser rifle with unlimited ammo that fires a precise, non-explosive thermal shot after a short charge; tuned to cool down faster |
| P-44 Mist | One-handed machine pistol for when enemies get close |
| G-11 Caltrops | Grenade that scatters proximity-triggered submunitions that slow and stun enemies |
Armors, capes and cosmetics
- SS-33 Mimetic Marshal (light armor), inspired by ghillie suits, with the matching Mimetic Mesh cape and player card.
- SS-15 Focal Point (medium armor), with adaptive camouflage and an asymmetrical visor, paired with the Boundary Banner cape and player card.
- Stationary Shroud, the passive on both armors: it reduces weapon sway and how easily enemies detect you while you crouch or lie prone.
- Manual Ballistic Projection emote and the Longshot title.
When it unlocks
Arrowhead gives the date, October 20, but not an hour. We will add the time here if Arrowhead announces one.
Who it suits
- Snipers: the Sightliner gives a sniper primary, so you can keep a support weapon such as the Apex for heavy targets.
- Stealth players: both armors share the Stationary Shroud passive, which rewards staying low and still.
- Laser fans: the LAS-44 Nova never runs out of ammo, like the other LAS weapons.
