Place in (steamdirectory)\steamapps\common\Helldivers 2\data

If it doesn't work or you have another mod in that slot change the patch number at the end of the file name accordingly. patch_0 -> patch_1, 2, 3, etc

Install using the Helldivers Mod Manager

Known issues:

1. Shoulder pieces will phase through pauldron most of the time (not sure this can be fixed. Had the same issue on the death trooper)

2. Right hand vertex error when doing the salute (Either a weighting issue or posing issue)

Can I make this for a different armor? No. The only other armor I might make this for is DP-40

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure your Helldivers 2 character uses the brawny body type, or the armor won't fit properly.
  • If you have other mods using the same patch slot, rename the file to a higher patch number (e.g., patch_1) to avoid conflicts.
  • Use the Helldivers Mod Manager for easier installation and management, especially if you're new to modding.
