Helldivers 2 Scope of Authority Warbond: Every Item

The Helldivers 2 Scope of Authority Warbond is a long-range and stealth Premium Warbond that goes live on 20 October 2026 with patch 7.2.0, and it is built around a sniper rifle, an anti-materiel rifle and two armors with the Stationary Shroud passive.

Scope of Authority is a Premium Warbond that Arrowhead describes as the next step in long-range and clandestine combat, announced on 13 October 2026 for a 20 October launch. A footnote in that post adds the usual conditions: you need the base game, Super Credits and enough progression. It arrives in patch 7.2.0, “Devoid of Liberty: 7.2.0”, dated 20 October 2026. It follows the Ironclad Democracy Premium Warbond; our Ironclad Democracy Warbond item list covers that one. You can read the original text on the Steam announcement from Arrowhead.

Item names follow Arrowhead’s announcement. Pages, slots and Medal costs come from the community Helldivers Wiki (read 20 October 2026); we have not checked them against the in-game store. The wiki spells the cape “Boundary Banker” and the emote “Manual Ballistic Projection Protocol”.

Page totals: 162, 194 and 247 Medals, 603 in all. The wiki lists page 2 as opening after 120 Medals spent in the warbond and page 3 after 145. What each weapon does, from Arrowhead’s announcement:

Stationary Shroud is the new armor passive on both SS-33 Mimetic Marshal and SS-15 Focal Point. Arrowhead’s announcement says it reduces weapon sway and detection range while you are crouched or prone, without numbers. The community wiki page for the SS-33, still marked work in progress, gives three effects with different conditions: weapon sway while aiming is 35% lower, you make 15% less noise when moving, and the foliage-like concealment that shortens enemy detection range works only while you stay still, crouched or prone. Treat the numbers as community data until you see them in the in-game tooltip. Our reading is that it rewards players who set up and hold a position, which fits the Sightliner and the Apex, both described as long-range or heavy-hitting tools. For how other passives compare, see our Helldivers 2 armor passives and armor costs page.

With the R-40 Sightliner

The Sightliner is the long-range option. Lower sway helps whenever you aim, while the concealment needs you to stop and stay crouched or prone, so the two halves of the passive suit a shooter who picks a spot and holds it.

With the AMW-20 Apex

The Apex is a backpack-fed support weapon with assisted reload, the heavy option for armored targets. The LAS-44 Nova is the other support pick from this warbond: an energy rifle with no ammunition to carry, per the wiki’s Nova page. Pairing it with a Shroud armor is our reading of how the two fit, not something Arrowhead states.

Which armor carries it

Arrowhead frames the Mimetic Marshal as the light armor for players who spend time in cover, and the Focal Point as the medium armor for players who move forward more than they camp. Both carry the same passive.

Arrowhead’s announcement says only that you need Super Credits. The community wiki lists the rest, which we have not checked in the in-game store:

• To buy: 1,000 Super Credits.
• Back inside: three 100-Super-Credit entries, 300 in all, which cost 7, 12 and 32 Medals to claim. They come back only as you spend Medals, so the price to open the warbond is still 1,000.
• Medals: 162 for page 1, 194 for page 2 and 247 for page 3, 603 for everything.

The Medal wallet holds 250 at most, and the wiki’s Medals page says anything earned above that is lost, so plan to spend in rounds as you earn. We do not turn 603 Medals into hours: Medal income depends on difficulty and the missions you run, and there is no published rate to rely on.

The same patch switched the anti-cheat from GameGuard to Easy Anti-Cheat and gave the Killzone and Halo legendary warbond weapons a balance pass, per the 7.2.0 patch notes on Steam. Arrowhead’s anti-cheat post warns that some mods, especially those that affect other players, may stop working, and that cosmetic mods may need updates from their authors.
