📋 About This Mod
Since Weapon attachments is a thing now in Helldivers 2, and I have a little knowledge of modding thanks to my past experience with Payday 2, I want to do something about the Iron Sight attachment to look bit more "Practical"
So yes this is my first mod on Helldivers 2, and I hope anyone can help me improve it in the future
*Fixing my typo time to time, sorry
Tested at 90 FoV, the same model might look different in other weapon due
the distance of the Iron Sight to player PoV(varied by weapon),
check IMAGES section for example
