📋 About This Mod
Replaces the B-01 Tactical armor and helmet with protogen parts
(Protodal model by Nicoreda)
- Expect issues with rigging, materials and the gore.
- There's not much info on modding this game and the current method is quite limiting.
- I will update the mod if anything regarding the current method changes, along with other changes.
You must equip the default B-01 Tactical armor and helmet!
(CE-35 and others may be compatible as well)
Only works with the first body type! (Brawny)
I also recommend using a cape removal mod if you'd like to avoid clipping with the tail.
INSTALLATION:
Place all of the extracted files to this directory:
Helldivers 2 > data
There are currently two mod versions with different shaders used:
- EmissiveMetal: This shader has emissions and metalness, but lacks roughness.
- Roughness: This shader has no emissions or metalness, but has roughness.
I haven't seen cases of people being banned for cosmetic mods and I don't believe the files are being checked (no one got in trouble during testing either), but the game uses an Anti-Cheat - USE MODS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
