TRENCH DECAY war bonds — also called bundles in-game — are the purchasable packs added in the [MAJOR ORDER] wave, carrying new cosmetics and weapons. This page explains what they are and how they differ from free promo-code loot.
TRENCH: DECAY War Bonds
War bonds — the game calls them bundles too — arrived with the [MAJOR ORDER] update wave and carry the new cosmetics and weapons. Here is what they are, what came with them, and how they differ from the free loot you get from promo codes.

Creator coverage of the [MAJOR ORDER] wave calls war bonds “where the bulk of the update comes from”: purchasable bundles holding the new cosmetics and the four new weapons released alongside them. The name echoes the real WW1 practice of funding the war effort through bonds — and the free code MERCILESSWARBOND nods to the same system.
War bonds cost, codes don’t
War bond cosmetics are items you buy. Before spending anything, stack the free route first: every active promo code hands out Medals and crates at no cost, and the rewards calculator totals exactly how much free loot is on the table right now.
The four weapons of the war bond wave
New SMG
01Creator coverage describes it as outclassing the existing SMGs — carrying more ammo than the MP 18 while hitting harder than the Tommy Gun, with recoil as the trade-off. No official stats have been published.
Two semi-automatic rifles
02A first for the rifle category: unlike the existing bolt-action rifles, both new rifles fire semi-automatically and carry unusually large magazines for rifles, at the cost of lower damage per shot than a bolt rifle, per creator coverage.
New anti-tank rifle
03Described in creator coverage as a heavy hitter with a four-round capacity and less recoil than the Hand Cannon. It is only the second weapon in the game to use special ammunition, which has to be purchased rather than found.
Weapon descriptions are qualitative summaries of creator coverage of the update. The developer publishes no official stats, so we list none.
The bandolier armor type
The same update added a new armor type: the bandolier. Per creator coverage it matches light armor’s protection while adding more starting ammo, a higher maximum ammo capacity, and roughly 15% faster reloads — a deploy-ready pick for players who shoot more than they tank. See How to Play for loadout basics.
Watch for time-limited supporter bundles
Alongside the paid bonds, the developer has run time-limited supporter rewards — creator coverage documented one that granted a full outfit plus one of the new rifles for six hours of playtime before rotating out. These come and go quickly in beta, so check the updates page and the official Discord for what is live right now.
What is not documented (yet)
The developer has not published an official war bond catalog, prices, drop lists or weapon stats, and beta contents rotate without notice. We do not publish tier lists, damage tables or “worth it” rankings for this game because no authoritative numbers exist. This page sticks to what creator coverage of the update verifiably shows, and will be updated as the developer documents more.
War Bonds FAQ
What are war bonds in TRENCH: DECAY?+
War bonds — also called bundles in-game — are purchasable content packs introduced in the [MAJOR ORDER] update wave. Creator coverage of the update describes them as the bulk of that release: they hold the new cosmetics and the four new weapons added alongside them.
Are war bonds free?+
No — creator coverage describes the war bond cosmetics as items you buy. If you want freebies instead, active promo codes hand out Medals and crates at no cost, including MERCILESSWARBOND (300 Medals and 2 Cosmetic Crates), whose name nods directly to the war bond system.
Are TRENCH: DECAY war bonds worth buying?+
We do not publish value rankings. Community creators actively debate this — including coverage of a war bond discussed under the name Ranged Revenance — but the game is in early beta, contents rotate, and no official catalog exists. Check current community coverage before spending.
What weapons arrived with the war bond update?+
Per creator coverage: a new SMG, two semi-automatic rifles (the first non-bolt rifles in the game), and a new anti-tank rifle that uses special purchasable ammo. The developer has not published official damage stats, so we do not list numbers.
