The store bonus DLC ties the Switch 2 port to the Digiboku EDF spinoff, offering a crossover weapon that changes how decoys work in the base game.

D3 Publisher announced on August 21 that the D3P WEB SHOP store bonus DLC for Earth Defense Force 5 for Nintendo Switch 2 will include the special weapon "Digiboku EDF Decoy," usable by Ranger and Air Raider. The decoy projects digital EDF soldiers to protect the player. The game releases October 8, 2026, at 3,980 yen for both physical and download versions. A D3P WEB SHOP Limited Pack with an acrylic diorama sells for 6,480 yen.
The special decoy fires a projectile that deploys a 3D projector, which adheres to an object and projects a decoy that draws enemy attention. Because the projector is still in operational testing, it has not been miniaturized, so the projectile has a short range and the decoy operates only a few minutes before self-destructing. If it takes enough damage, the projection collapses and disappears.
The D3P WEB SHOP Limited Pack, sold through Rakuten Ichiba and Premium Bandai, bundles the physical software with an acrylic diorama. Sandlot developed the game, with YUKE'S handling the Switch 2 port.
