📋 About This Mod

Finally managed to make a mod for my favourite jack of all trades support weapon in the game.

Now finally has MG-Sentry included after I forgot to finish it.

Using extracted sounds of MG34 from MW19

Note: MG43 lmg and M206 hmg share same reload sounds, so if you don't want overlaps then choose the variant with vanilla reloading sfx!

Vortex mod manager is still giving me problems and doesn't want to make a collection. It'll happen someday

Use ModManager2 or Arsenal for mega easy install!

Hope you enjoy and have fun with the mod! Make sure to post what you think of it in the posts section!

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This audio overhaul replaces the shooting and reloading sounds of the MG-43 machine gun and MG-sentry turrets with those of the MG34 from Modern Warfare 2019, adding reverb for a more powerful feel. It's a simple, focused mod for Helldivers 2 players who want a heavier, more impactful sound for these weapons.

✨ Key Features

Replaces MG-43 and MG-sentry turret shooting and reloading sound effects with MG34 sounds from Modern Warfare 2019.
Adds reverb to the new sounds, giving them an 'immense power' feel.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 108 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
  • Simple, focused audio swap that delivers a punchier, more impactful sound for two popular weapons.
  • Adds reverb for extra depth, making the guns feel more powerful in combat.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects two weapons—if you want a broader audio overhaul, this won't cover it.
  • Sound replacement is subjective; some players may prefer the original sounds.
  • Potential compatibility issues with other audio mods that modify the same sound files.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Helldivers 2 players who love the MG-43 and MG-sentry and want a heavier, more satisfying audio kick. If you're a sound purist who prefers vanilla audio or want a full audio overhaul, this isn't for you.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to disable EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) if required for mods in Helldivers 2, as some audio mods may trigger it.
  • If you're using a mod manager, preview the sound files before installing to ensure they match your taste.
  • Check for conflicts with other audio mods that might replace the same MG-43 or MG-sentry sounds.
