Helldivers 2's "Masters of Ceremony" Warbond to Feature New Melee Weapons, More on May 15

Arrowhead Game Studios has announced the “Masters of Ceremony” Premium Warbond for Helldivers 2, launching on May 15 for PlayStation 5 and PC. This update introduces a range of new equipment and cosmetic items, emphasizing melee combat and ceremonial aesthetics.

Key additions include the R-2 Amendment rifle, equipped with a bayonet and a 20-round magazine, suitable for both ranged and close-quarters engagements. The CQC-2 Sabre offers a traditional melee option, while the G-142 Pyrotech Grenade provides an explosive area-of-effect attack. Notably, the CQC-1 One True Flag serves as both a Stratagem and a melee weapon, allowing players to wield the Super Earth flag as a spear.

Two new armor sets are introduced: the lightweight RE-1861 Parade Commander and the more robust RE-2310 Honorary Guard. Both feature the Reinforced Epaulettes perk, reducing the likelihood of limb injuries during combat. Accompanying these are new capes, i.e., Humble Regalia and Federation’s Embrace, along with additional cosmetic items such as banners, emotes, and the “Decorated Hero” title.

Additionally, owners of previous Warbonds, Viper Commando, Freedom’s Flame, Chemical Agents, and Truth Enforcers will receive new FRV patterns, enhancing customization options. Arrowhead has also indicated that further content updates are forthcoming.
