📋 About This Mod

Howdy Helldivers and Hellpokes. Introducing another custom modelled and textured weapon to replace the surprisingly fun and punchy PLAS-1 Scorcher.

It was originally going to replace the PLAS-101 Purifier but I felt it fit more the PLAS-1 Scorcher, considering it just looks like it shoots quick and hard (There's a joke in here somewhere).

As usual it will come with two versions (load just one using the mod manager, or extract into your game/data folder).

  • []first version comes with the custom scope. Thick, and chunky, with a clear sight picture. It will replace all scopes of weapons using the same scope as the PLAS-1 Scorcher of course, so keep that in mind (It also overrides the JAR-7 Decimator's custom scope, IF you load this gun AFTER the JAR-7 Decimator in the mod manager).

    []second version just uses the default in game scope for a cleaner look and is compatible with a variety of scope replacers.

  • added an option to replace the PLAS-101 Purifier. Both types (PLAS-1 Scorcher and PLAS-101 Purifier) can be used at the same time to replace both the default weapons (Only one version for both however, as using the default scope version while the other has a custom scope version will override either scope depending on load order).

    If you want a custom weapon modeled/textured and added, feel free to suggest here in Nexus mods or through my discord: turdymanjones. If you want to support my work, you can donate or commission a weapon for public release.

    Smash 'em to pieces, Helldivers!

    The PLAS-1 Scorcher. A beloved and fantastic weapon of various utility, especially favored for it's usability and ease of operation by the courageous and brazen Helldivers, now made even better. Burning, scorching and blazing. The PLAS-160 Igniter.

    A truly unique weapon for exemplary fronts of engagement and combat. Upsized yet still compact. A sleek package with a more robust capacitor for punchier and more damaging bolts of superheated plasma. The hot-headed buzz of fury unleashed by such a tight profile cooled and managed by a beefy nitrogen based coolant undercarriage. An excellent and beefy sledgehammer to conquer any obstacle with style, energy and pure fusion bliss in all states of matter.

    Incredible. Inciting. Irrevocably innovative. Incinerating. Igniting. Melting through even the thickest metal alloys and heaviest bioforms. It's superb, smooth, rapid and blazingly satisfying, the Igniter.
