📋 About This Mod
CHAFF UNITS REMASTERED OUT NOW
Sick of poor audio balancing? Want to hear your enemies? That is the goal of Heavy Units Remastered. While I do love Helldivers 2, it's plagued with poor mixing and balancing. I intend to simply enhance the vanilla sounds rather than replace them with uncanny remixes from other games.
Thank you

FAQ

[]
The audio sometimes becomes distorted and static-like, is this your mod causing this?
No, this is not a product of my mod, this is a product of arrowhead's recent changes to Wwise. Not sure about the exact cause as that is outside my realm expertise, but do understand if you experience audio cutting out or heavy distortion, it's arrowhead's fault of their engine and implementation of sound priority. It's not my mod, it's Arrowhead. Complain to them about it. Try clearing your shader cache. I heard this resolves the issue for some players.[/

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community approval with 4,432 endorsements.
- Nearly 300k downloads show it's a trusted audio fix.
- Enhances vanilla sounds instead of replacing them, so the game still feels like Helldivers 2.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers heavy units—other enemies and environmental audio remain unbalanced.
- Doesn't fix Arrowhead's underlying Wwise distortion issue, so occasional audio cutouts can still happen.
- May conflict with other audio overhaul mods that touch the same files.
For Helldivers 2 players tired of getting stomped by silent chargers or titans because audio cues were too quiet. It's ideal for those who want to keep the vanilla sound identity but need better mixing. Skip if you want a complete sound overhaul or gameplay changes—this is purely an audio enhancement for heavy units.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you want a more balanced mix, grab the quieter Charger moans variant instead of the standard louder one.
- If you experience distortion or static after installing, clear your shader cache as suggested by the mod author.
- Since this is a manual file replacement, reinstall the mod after game updates to keep sounds working.
