📋 About This Mod
DEMO VIDEO:
Helldiver, thanks for checking out my first mod for HD2! This is the first of a series of audio remasters I plan on doing for HD2's weapons, starting with the Arc weapons (Blitzer and Tesla Tower Soon™)
The mod changes both the full charge idle sound and the actual sound of firing the weapon. The idle sound now has a static buzz, with remastered audio to sound more crisp. The firing sound now sounds like a true thunderclap of a shot. Enjoy!
INSTALLATION
HD2 MOD MANAGER COMPATIBLE - RECOMMENDED!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (374 endorsements, 13,585 downloads).
- Adds much-needed punch to the Arcthrower.
- Lightweight and easy to install.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one weapon—if you want more variety, you'll need to wait for future releases.
- Audio mods can conflict with other sound overhauls that touch the same weapon.
- No guarantee the series will continue, so this might be a one-off.
For players who love the Arcthrower but feel its sound is weak and want a quick, satisfying upgrade. Also for mod collectors who enjoy high-quality audio tweaks. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a full sound overhaul—this is purely cosmetic audio.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other sound mods.
- Check if you have other audio mods that affect the Arcthrower—if so, load this one last to ensure it takes priority.
- Test the sound in-game by firing the weapon a few times to make sure it fits your taste.
