CQC-9 Defoliation Tool (from Helldivers 2)

Firearms are cool and all, but sometimes you've got to get personal. Really personal. The CQC-9 Defoliation Tool did not begin its life as a brutal close-quarters melee weapon, but resourceful Helldivers sure found out quickly that it was just as effective on alien fauna as it was on flora. A classic gas-powered design with sword-like ergonomics, the Defoliation Tool brings the power to your fingertips.

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:
