The Helldivers 2 "Scope of Authority" Premium Warbond launches October 20, per the PlayStation Blog. It's a long-range, stealth-flavored pack. The post didn't state a price.
What's in it
Weapons: the R-40 Sightliner, a bolt-action sniper rifle with armor-piercing rounds; the P-44 Mist, a one-handed machine pistol; the AMW-20 Apex, a backpack-fed anti-materiel rifle with assisted reload; and the LAS-44 Nova, an energy rifle with infinite ammo.
Stratagem: G-11 Caltrops, which scatter proximity-detonated submunitions that slow and stun enemies.
Armor: SS-33 Mimetic Marshal, light armor inspired by ghillie suits, and SS-15 Focal Point, medium armor with adaptive camouflage. Capes and player cards come with them.
Passive and extras: Stationary Shroud, which cuts weapon sway and detection range when you're crouched or prone, plus a Manual Ballistic Projection emote and a "Longshot" title.
How to get it
PlayStation says it requires the base game, Super Credits and game progression. That's the usual Premium Warbond setup.
The take
Helldivers has been a run-and-gun, call-in-the-big-gun game. This pack pushes it toward patience: sit still, lay a line on something, don't get seen. Whether that fits your squad is the question. The Nova's infinite ammo is the one I'd watch, because it solves the thing that kills most long fights.
