About this mod Author’s original text

AR-23 Liberator Pack (from Helldivers 2)

Inarguably the most famous small arm ever used by the Super Earth Armed Forces, the AR-23 Liberator assault rifle is the purest representation of Super Earth's perfection. Its sleek bullpup design represents technological advancement, for example, while its bulk and sharp angles represent the infallability of the populace. Even its large magazine and potent 5.5x50mm caliber mirror Super Earth's willingness to keep fighting and prowess in combat, respectively. Another one of the Liberator's greatest strengths is its adaptability; multiple variants of the base rifle have been constructed and issued, including the AR-23P Penetrator, a longer-barreled version issued with Penetrator ammo, the AR-23C Concussive, a slower-firing crowd-control rifle which converts fired projectiles into concussive blasts, and the AR-23A Carbine, a shortened AR-23 with an even higher rate of fire.

Features

  • AR-23 Liberator (A timeless classic, the ultimate, the unparalleled. For Super Earth! Found under Assault Rifles in the item spawner)
  • AR-23P Liberator Penetrator (for armored targets, optimized for use with AP rounds)
  • AR-23C Liberator Concussive (Slower-firing, for lots of fast targets. Converts bullets to concussive blasts that stun and stagger)
  • AR-23A Liberator Carbine (Faster-firing, for close-quarters when you need a bullet hose)

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
