📋 About This Mod
Because why not.
Pretty self explanatory, just adds a bit more realism to the game I suppose,

REPATCH TOOL
- On the Helldivers 2 Modding Discord they have released a tool to repatch mod files!
- This should work with any mods
- I am aiming to repatch all of my existing mods using this tool eventually
- in the meantime, feel free to use it to repatch the older version of these mods for LOCAL use.
- Please do not reupload the patches of these mods without my permission.
- Link to the github release https://github.com/RaidingForPants/hd2-repatcher/releases
Now, the moment you've all been waiting for . . .
IT'S NOW IN THE HANGER!!!
- There is also now an All In One file, so no more need to install each mod separately
- separate files are still available if you want that for whatever reason
yeah sorry it took so long for that to be added, glad I finally got some time to make it the way it should be.
- If you have the upgraded eagle, there will be bombs clipping through the warthog model in the hanger. Not sure how to fix so sorry about that.
Installation:
So if you don't already know how to do this its pretty simple, you can do it manually or use the mod manager.
I would personally recommend using the mod manage if it works for you, can be downloaded here.
If you want to know how to do it manually, its still simple:
-Download the zip file to wherever you want
-Extract it and copy the 3 files inside
-Paste the 3 files into your Helldivers 2 data folder (Steam/steamapps/common/Helldivers 2/data)
And that's about it, have fun!
