📋 About This Mod
YOU THERE, HELLDIVER!
Are you tired of the same old voicelines?
Are mission control's smooth dulcet tones boring you to tears?
Are you willing to put up with me yelling nonsense at you for most of a match?
Has your C-01 form been revoked for inactivity?
Well that last one is your problem, but for the first three, this mod can help!
With inspiration stolen liberated from the likes of Deep Rock Galactic, TheRussianBadger and Grindor’s Helldivers II voicepack, this is:
A Mission Control voice replacer for Helldivers II!
Not all Super Destroyers can afford a high-quality Mission Control to see you through. Sometimes, the Super-Interns need to step in and (try to) get stuff done.
Overworked, underpaid and sick of your liberty-forsaken shenanigans, Super-Intern Francis Freedom will attempt to guide you and your squadmates to victory—or notify your next of kin.
This mod replaces all 300 plus mission control voicelines, and contains features such as:
[]Amateur voice acting!
[]Vague attempts at humour!
[]The last fragments of my sanity!
[]Easter eggs and references!
Install today!
