📋 About This Mod
These capes may be short, but don't be deceived, these mobility capes can slip into the tightest cracks of terror and socialism to punch in pure democracy and liberty.
These are the first capes of a planned series of shorter sized capes. The goal, bridge the gap between capeless and patriot!
The Short Road to Victory
Many Divers have fallen victim to the tyrannical clutches of gravity. The Ministry of Science has since began "The Short Capes of Liberty" Projects with hopes of reducing "face to rock" loses and increasing "boots on bugs" victory! To participate in this new project, all you have to do is install the The Short Capes of Liberty v1. X.szip onto your SSSD and apply it to your Super Destroyer using a Ministry of Science Approved Super Program like HD2MM or HD2Arsenal.
2. 0 Update!
Officially all the capes in the first Warbond: Helldivers Mobilize have been shortened! This was the goal when I first started updating the mod and I am so happy to have finally completed that goal! However there are still many capes that need an attitude adjustment and I plan on dealing them... The short stick!
- I want to thank the modding discord for their help with understanding LUTs and providing the tools I used for making this mod.
- I used Make It Yellow in all of my screenshots and though it's not required for this mod, it's a big inspiration for starting my project. I do plan on adding some cape options for non black and yellow but for now I intend to try and keep my capes in theme with MIY. RIP MIY
- I have recently become a Helldivers Unified Armory freak and have been directly inspired by many of their armors and capes. Show them some love!
