📋 About This Mod
Hi ya'll, this one here's a treat. Just sharing this one for fun, consider it Version 1. 0 as I'll be making a complete set of this mod soon with more details.
I modeled and textured the gun myself, it's a complete custom weapon for the game that replaces the JAR-5 Dominator.
There's two versions currently (use them with the mod manager), one with a scope and one without (separate files for now as I have yet to make a manifest).
-
[]the version with a custom scope currently has an issue where the reticle's invisible (you can use the laser dot as a temporary reticle in the meantime)
[
]the version without a scope will use the default JAR-5 scope (it's compatible with scope replacers)
If you want a custom weapon modeled/textured and added, I'm open to suggestions, just contact me here in Nexus Mods or through Discord!
Good hunting, Helldivers.

The JAR-7 Decimator is the
bigger brother of the venerated
JAR-5 Dominator. Punchy, rough, kicks
like a mule and most importantly, powerful.
A weapon for the Helldiver, if you
want to deliver freedom’s call at your enemy’s
doorstep, this is the perfect messenger.
Loud and proud, the perfect tool to
hammer down on Liberty’s problems. The solution of
destruction, removing democracy’s foes bullet by bullet, tenfold.
It is the punisher, the reaper, the Decimator.

Work-In-Progress features (by order of priority):
-
[]Patch fix for the default scope [v1. 05] - The version without a custom scope uses the default JAR-5 Dominator Scope, and it's currently "floating" above the picatinny rail. I'll be adding a custom adapter model (just like real life!) as a fix.
DONE
[
]Additional color options [v1. 1] - The request for additional color options to match the default Helldiver colors (black & yellow) in game is substantial enough to warrant adding, as well as a less conspicuous color like Gunmetal Gray/Black. DONE[]Additional attachments [v1. 2]
[]A double-barrel grenade launcher (up the ante of ridiculousness just a tad).
