Helldivers 2 Scope of Authority Warbond launched October 20, 2026 with equipment designed for long-range shooting and concealment. There are four named firearms, the G-11 Caltrops throwable stratagem and two armour sets that share a new Stationary Shroud passive.
Arrowhead has confirmed four weapons, G-11 Caltrops and two armour sets alongside capes, cards, an emote and a title. If you’re working out how many Medals to save, check the three Warbond pages in Acquisitions: the official October 13 announcement does not include a complete item-by-item Medal-price table.

Helldivers 2 Scope of Authority Warbond: Every weapon in the Warbond
The R-40 Sightliner is a bolt-action primary sniper rifle firing powerful armour-piercing rounds. The P-44 Mist is a one-handed machine pistol intended for close threats. These make a natural pairing for anyone who wants to hold range until an enemy manages to close the distance.
The AMW-20 Apex is a backpack-fed heavy anti-materiel rifle that supports assisted reloads. The LAS-44 Nova is a laser rifle firing a precise, non-explosive thermal projectile after a short charge. Helldivers 2 Scope of Authority Warbond offers several approaches to precision fire rather than four versions of the same rifle.
Helldivers 2 Scope of Authority Warbond: G-11 Caltrops and how they work
The G-11 Caltrops spreads proximity-detonated submunitions over an area when thrown. Enemies triggering them are slowed and stunned, making them easier to line up through a scope or hold away from your squad’s position.
Arrowhead hasn’t given a confirmed total number of individual caltrops or a precise slowing duration in the announcement. Treat the G-11 as a positioning and area-denial tool until the launch build establishes those values.
Helldivers 2 Scope of Authority Warbond: SS-33 Mimetic Marshal light armour
The SS-33 Mimetic Marshal is a light armour set inspired by ghillie suits. Its design uses netting and adaptive fibres to blend with natural surroundings. It is paired with the Mimetic Mesh cape and a matching player card.
Both the light and medium armour sets in the Helldivers 2 Scope of Authority Warbond use Stationary Shroud, which provides the actual gameplay benefit for players who crouch or go prone.
SS-15 Focal Point medium armour
The SS-15 Focal Point uses medium armour with adaptive camouflage and an asymmetrical optical visor. It comes with the Boundary Banner cape and matching player card. Players choosing between the sets are trading a light armour setup against a medium one, not deciding which receives the passive.
Both armour sets reduce sway and enemy detection when crouched or prone. Choose between the light and medium sets according to your preferred mobility and protection.
What Stationary Shroud does
Stationary Shroud reduces weapon sway and how far away enemies can detect a player while the Helldiver is crouched or prone. The concept suits deliberate sniping from concealment, especially when you’re waiting for the correct shot rather than running straight into enemies.
The passive doesn’t promise invisibility while sprinting and doesn’t replace cover. Helldivers 2 Scope of Authority Warbond gives you equipment that rewards positioning, but you’ll still need to avoid attracting attention from patrols and heavy enemies.
Capes, emote and player title
Alongside the equipment, the Warbond includes the Mimetic Mesh and Boundary Banner capes and player cards, the Manual Ballistic Projection emote and the Longshot title. Those are separate cosmetic rewards and don’t alter weapon penetration or damage.
The Warbond is live, so you can check each cosmetic’s Medal requirement and unlock order directly in Acquisitions. The pre-release reveal listed the items but not their exact positions on the pages.
Release date and how to unlock Scope of Authority
The Premium Warbond launched Tuesday, October 20, 2026. It requires the base game, Super Credits and in-game progression. Open the Warbonds menu to see its current price, reward pages and Medal costs before deciding which item to unlock first.
If Scope of Authority doesn’t appear in Acquisitions, confirm the game has installed the October 20 update and check the Premium Warbonds section rather than the rotating Superstore. The reward pages display Medal costs before you unlock an item.
