I’ve gone ahead and tested everything on the scope of authority warbond against all 3 factions, and today let’s talk about each and every item on this warbond, and lets rate/rank them on a tier list!
Enjoy!

Is the amr redundant?
Apparently you can skip the between shot animation on the primary sniper if you open the stratagem menu, which would make it a bit more efficient.
Also, they did confirm that the insane drag on the apex is unintended (it's on their bug list), same as the weapon listing the dmg as heavy when it's clearly anti tank.
Edit: The nova also suffer from the non host dmg boost bug meaning you are NOT the host, this weapon will kill some enemies faster, like you can straight up kill a factory strider with 2 shots instead of 3 if you hit the eyes. Same with bile titan, you can kill them in 1 less shot.
Stationary Shroud isn’t as good as Reduced Signature because they excel at different forms of stealth. Reduced Signature is meant for you to be behind enemy lines, comfortably sneaking past almost all enemies and avoid direct fighting. Stationary Shroud is better for distanced stealth, using long range weapons a bit more comfortably without enemies hard locking on your position when you fire a sniper. (Of course using the Censor is like 10 times easier than something like Sightliner)
mist is full auto.
Brother you are tweaking saying the Sightliner is lackluster. Been using it on Votesnatchers, and it has solved my Crusher problem handily.
It’s been struggling with Incen Corps for me, but only because there are just so many shotgun devastators
Use the Caltrops to cover your back when setting up a solo sniping position. they will stun and alert you of enemy spawns behind you.
Says it doesn't work on chaff, LOL! Me ripping off the scope of my Sightliner, changing it to iron sights at level nine with the Street Scout light armor that has the Siege-Ready bonus for increased ammo and reload speed, with a warp pack or support pack—I just be destroying everything 😂
Very cool on lower difficulties.. a very bad time on Super helldive.. lmao
I am loving the Nova so far… but that's the only thing i will use from this warbond moving forward. It can shoot faster than the quasar, so i can do the safety dance behind cover more effectively while still putting out the same DPS against Automoton turrets and heavies.
Caltrops have 2 "firing" mode if you hold reload button while equipping the grenade
I mean checks out, The Sightliner is a great positional weapon, but pretty ass for a solo diff 10 hellrunner, naturally.
I have had a blast pairing it with the HMG, using the Sightliner to pop far-away targets while goring anything coming too close with the former.
Nova nerfs incoming
The bolt pistol and amr already 2 shot a hulk eye. That and low ergos make the primary not good
So basically 1000 super credits for the Nova, while the rest is just bonus filler junk.😂
If only every warbond could be as good as the Warhammer one, or at least have several items that are not garbage.
The worst part about the Sightliner when in regards to its "Preferred Targets" that being the Hulks, Scout Striders, and Gunships, is that the AMR handles all three better, and is semi-auto. The AMR actually one shot's many medium enemies unlike the sightliner
The apex is a little disappointing, the cons outweigh the pros. The ammo economy is terrible and it’s so sluggish and I think it takes too long to kill considering how handicapped it makes you.
Stationary shroud basically let's you shoot factory strider at outpost from far away without the getting aggro, but it is still kinda lack luster. I do wish it had a base visibility reduction that way you can at least be somewhat stealthy while moving
Sightliner is not just inefficient on D10, it's also very much so on D7 or D8. If you have a run with all players playing precision style with no explosive weapons, your run is fucked. And ArrowHead insist on Helldivers 2 not being a horde shooter lmao.
They straight up lied about the sightliner being able to kill hulks in 1 shot bro, like someone thinking it could do that and that’s the reason why they buy the warbond, that’s false advertising. The nova is sick af tho
When using a sniper its best to equipment with a hoover pack or jump pack to get to high ground. its not a infantry weapon
Nova hands down the best thing in whole warbond, and Sightliner is second
0:35 There's actually now five heavy pen capable primary weapons
Eruptor
Torcher
DE Sickle
Stoker
Sightliner makes 5
