📋 About This Mod
HEAVY UNITS REMASTERED HERE
Sick of poor audio balancing? Want to hear your enemies? That is the goal of Chaff Units Remastered. While I do love Helldivers 2, it's plagued with poor mixing and balancing. I intend to simply enhance the vanilla sounds rather than replace them with uncanny remixes of other games.
Thank you Ka1ser0 for the recent conversions.

FAQ
-
[]The audio sometimes becomes distorted and static-like, is this your mod causing this?
No, this is not a product of my mod, this is a product of arrowhead's recent changes to Wwise. Not sure about the exact cause as that is outside my realm expertise, but do understand if you experience audio cutting out or heavy distortion, it's arrowhead's fault of their engine and implementation of sound priority. It's not my mod, it's Arrowhead. Complain to them about it.[/

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,596 endorsements and a quarter-million downloads
- Fixes a real problem—chaff audio gets lost in the mix, so you can finally hear what's coming
- Active development, last updated May 2026, so it's likely compatible with recent patches
⚠️ Cons
- Pure audio tweak—if you're after new content or visual changes, this isn't it
- May not address all sound issues, only chaff units, so other audio problems remain
- Compatibility risk with future game updates or other audio mods that alter sound files
For Helldivers 2 players who want better audio clarity during chaotic firefights, especially those who rely on sound cues to spot fodder enemies. If you're a completionist who appreciates the original sound design but find it muddled, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or visual overhauls—this is purely audio.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in the correct game directory (typically the 'data' folder) to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable the mod after updating the game to ensure it doesn't get overwritten.
- Test in a mission with lots of chaff enemies to hear the difference—it's most noticeable in bug or bot swarms.
