The modding community for Helldivers 2 has been buzzing with some fantastic creations recently, especially if you’re a fan of games like Crazy Taxi or Halo 3: ODST. Among these, a standout release is what appears to be the first full “Warbond” mod for the game, and it’s definitely grabbing attention.
Now, let’s get something straight from the start: this mod isn’t an exact replica of the official Warbonds that Arrowhead churns out. It’s more of a Warbond-like experience. However, if your main interest lies in experimenting with new armor, this mod has exactly what you need.
The mod, given the name ‘Dogmatic Reach’ by its creator, modder Jayypino, introduces a unique blend of armor sets and helmets. These elements fuse the aesthetics of Helldivers 2 with Halo 3: ODST gear. The result? A look that feels a touch more spartan, yet not as dramatically out-of-place as some mods that simply allow you to suit up like Master Chief. According to Jayypino, it offers “something different, but familiar,” featuring “custom vanilla-styled textures” designed to complement the game’s existing armors seamlessly.
As for customization, each armor set in the mod replaces existing in-game sets and comes with various paint job options. These include intimidating designs, such as teeth for your helmet, and color schemes like blue, which align with another of Jayypino’s custom Warbond-style projects, ‘SEAF Specialists’ from The Grave Situation Team.
To dive into this mod, you’ll need the latest version of Teutinsa’s ‘HD2 Mod Manager.’ Once equipped, you can explore three new armor sets: Chimera, Hydra, and Cyclops.
But this isn’t the only intrigue happening in the Helldivers 2 scene. Recently, a dataminer claimed to have accidentally triggered a phenomenon akin to the Aurora Borealis by tinkering with obelisks. Meanwhile, a creative artist in the community has envisioned a 14-page concept for an indoor dungeon mission, adding to the vibrant and imaginative environment surrounding the game’s community.
