About this mod Author’s original text

AR-61 Tenderizer (from Helldivers 2)

Nicknamed the "Tenderizer" for its effect on the enemies of Democracy and the weilder's shoulder alike, the mighty AR-61 is a squat rifle that combines a high rate of fire with very punchy 8x60mm full-powered ammunition. If you can wrangle the Tenderizer onto your target, you'll find that few weapons will kill as quickly. Just keep in mind that this is easier said than done!

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:
