📋 About This Mod
This mod uses the extracted HDR sfx but I've modified them a lot, mainly with sound volume of echoes so it might not sound exactly like in MW19.
Might make a mod later where sounds resemble HDR as much as possible. Atm only bolt handling sounds are somewhat recognizable.
4th mod in the sound overhaul series chronologically.
Hope you enjoy the mod! Make sure to comment what you think of it in the posts section!

- 1st upload of the mod
This audio mod replaces the Eruptor's shooting, reloading, bolt handling, and exploding bullet sound effects with those from the HDR sniper rifle in Modern Warfare 2019. It's a straightforward sound swap for Helldivers 2 players who want a more grounded, military feel for this weapon.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 159 endorsements and nearly 7k downloads
- Simple sound swap that does exactly what it says—no bloat
- Gives the Eruptor a punchier, more realistic feel if you're into MW19's audio design
⚠️ Cons
- Only touches audio—no visual or gameplay changes, so if you want more, this isn't it
- Sound preference is subjective; you might not like the HDR's signature crack
- Potential compatibility risk with other audio overhauls that modify the same weapon sounds
For Helldivers 2 players who love the Eruptor but wish it sounded like a proper sniper rifle from Call of Duty. If you're after a quick audio tweak to freshen up your loadout, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're not into MW19's sound design or want more comprehensive mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in the correct game directory (usually the 'data' folder) to avoid issues.
- If you're using other audio mods, load this one last to ensure it takes priority.
- Test the mod in the firing range to hear the new sounds before jumping into a mission.
