About this mod Author’s original text

GL-52 De-Escalator (from Helldivers 2)

In times of need, sometimes you have to bring order to chaos. When faced with an unruly crowd of undemocratic demonstrators or a horde of alien invaders alike, the solution is the GL-52 De-Escalator, a rotary grenade launcher that dispenses overcharged shock grenades. The De-Escalator's rotary action limits the weapon's magazine size compared to the GL-21 Grenade Launcher, but the De-Escalator's higher rate of fire, improved muzzle velocity, and larger area of effect render the less-than-non-lethal weapon extremely effective in any engagement.

Features

  • GL-52 De-Escalator (a shockingly effective grenade launcher. Pull that ejector! Found under grenade launchers in the item spawner)
  • 40x48mm Tesla Grenade (this one will certainly spark joy)
  • RX-6 "Cornerstone" Reflex Sight (mounts to any Picatinny rail!)

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:
