📋 About This Mod
Fabulous Friday everybody (or Saturday for many in the Eastern seaboard), here's another one of my creations. A commission for everyone to enjoy by the awesome SergantZero.
It's another weapon fully modeled and textured from scratch, this time with more prominent textures and decals to replace the AR-61 Tenderizer beloved by soft-target munchers.
It comes in 4 flavors (separate files for now to manage file size).
-
[]first group has two versions, both equipped with a custom scope (custom reticle to come after, keep in mind this also replaces scopes for weapons using the same scope). One of which has an underslung grenade launcher (non-functional unfortunately), and a base mode with a simple angled grip (I recommend using a mod to disable laser attachments).
[
]second group also has two versions, both of which use the default in game scope (for you fellas out there with your own custom scope replacers or default scope lovers). These versions also come with the underslung grenade launcher or angled grip options.I'm open for suggestions to my next custom weapon. If you'd like to buy me a coffee I'd appreciate that too :).

The AR-61 Tenderizer. A highly lethal, dangerously precise weapon for a variety of combat situations, excellent against soft targets, made deadlier. Pinpoint, high-velocity, destructive. The AR-220 Kimber.
Named after a notorious and infamous figure known for their ruthless and swift cunning. It hits hard, fast and leaves unarmored targets a heaping pile of material and atomized matter. A fantastic choice for medium to long range engagements, its electromagnetic capacitors ensure it always penetrates, no matter the distance.
Brute. Criminal. The King of Combat. When in a knife fight, every bullet counts, in a joust, every thrust matters, in the desert, in the streets, the crown belongs to infamy and the killer, the Kimber.

Work-In-Progress features (by order of priority):
[]Custom reticle fix [v1. 1] - I'll be making a custom reticle to possible fix the rear lens of the scope being hidden inside the scope body.
[]Additional color options [v1. 2] - Additional color options will be added to match the default Helldiver colors (black & yellow) in game as well as a less conspicuous colors like Gunmetal Gray/Black. This will include removal or muting of decals and other paint parts.
