📋 About This Mod
Woeful Wednesday my dudes. Here's a replacer for the SMG-37 Defender, for the recon units who love to roleplay rapid mobilization, quick shooters and scooters, dump-a-load and run-amok, you get the gist.
Standard fanfare applies, fully custom, made from scratch and took way too long to finish. PC problems are the reaper and it hath come for me, temporarily anyway.
If anyone want's to commission or support me for making weapons for public release, message me here on Nexus Mods or via discord: turdymanjones. I'll be setting up a Patreon soon for exclusive sneak peeks and run-downs of my creative process/es.
Smash 'em to pieces, Helldivers!
