Key Features of Masters of Ceremony Warbond
Weapons
- R-2 Amendment: A marksman rifle with an attached bayonet, combining mid-to-long-range precision with close-quarters melee capability. It has a 20-round magazine, semi-automatic fire with a high rate of fire (~480 RPM), and deals 200 damage per shot with light penetration. The bayonet deals 110 melee damage. It is considered a side-grade to other marksman rifles, with limited customization options but solid versatility[2][7].
- CQC-2 Sabre: An elegant melee weapon inspired by classic sabres, ideal for close combat and leading charges. It is noted for its stylish design and effectiveness in melee engagements[2][3].
- CQC-1 One True Flag: A unique melee stratagem weapon that doubles as a spear fashioned from the Super Earth flagpole, symbolizing patriotism and delivering powerful melee strikes[2][6][9].
- G-142 Pyrotech Grenade: A throwable explosive that spins and showers sparks before exploding in a ball of flames, creating a dramatic and visually striking effect on the battlefield[2][6][9].
Armor Sets and Perks
- RE-1861 Parade Commander (Light Armor): A classic, prestigious armor set with a military parade look, featuring a helmet topped with a military cap. It includes the Reinforced Epaulettes perk designed to reduce limb breakage, especially useful when wielding flag or melee weapons[4][6][9].

Reception and Summary

The Reinforced Epaulettes perk is a niche but helpful addition for survivability in melee engagements.
Overall, this Warbond is ideal for players who want to embody the spirit of Super Earth's decorated troops with elegant, parade-ready gear and enjoy a blend of ranged and melee combat options.
