Armor Passive Change

After hard-fought battles on Super Earth, our Masters of Ceremony have become more grizzled and stronger. With their limbs not suffering any breakages, Helldivers adorned with these armors are finding themselves able to reload faster and punch harder.

We have been monitoring your feedback in regards to armors and their passives. We have made some adjustments to the Masters of Ceremony armors, adding 2 extra perks:

• Increased Reload Speed of primary weapons by 30%
• Increased Melee Damage by 50%

We will monitor sentiment around this and assess going forward
