📋 About This Mod

Coming in (heh) with another release, a big, explod-ey boy well beloved by Helldivers, the R-36 Eruptor comes its successor, a meaner gruffer mean, green hammering machine, the XR-70 Fragmenter, for when you want everything, everywhere all at once.

Obligatory: Barrel spins when cocking

If you want a custom weapon modeled/textured and added, I'm open to suggestions, just contact me here in Nexus Mods or through Discord: turdymanjones!
