Helldivers are struggling to hold Super Earth against a seemingly endless onslaught of aliens at the moment, but developer Arrowhead is coming in clutch with Update 01.003.003 for the game. This patch for Helldivers 2, published on May 27, 2025, for PC and PS5, brings some benefits to the armor sets of the recently released Masters of Ceremony Warbond.

Players wearing these armors will benefit from two extra perks, allowing them to reload primary weapons 30% faster and make melee attacks with 50% more damage. Will that be enough to turn the tide? For that, we shall have to wait and see.
