Jun 04, 2024 8:58 AM

The Helldivers 2 modding community has been working tirelessly to transform the game into a Star Wars Clone Wars experience, taking eight weeks of intense work. Despite the impressive progress, modders like YouTuber ToastedShoes reveal plans to further revamp weapons, sounds, and skins, although some technical limitations remain. The modding team is also developing tools to simplify editing game textures and meshes, paving the way for new creative mods. Fans of the game can look forward to more updates and enhancements from these dedicated modders.

What are some of the challenges faced by the modders in transforming Helldivers 2?

The modders faced significant challenges in reverse-engineering the Helldivers 2 game engine and dealing with technical limitations that prevented certain modifications, such as sound mods and turning drop ships into droid drop ships from the Star Wars prequels.

Helldivers 2 is developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and is a cooperative top-down shooter. The game builds on its predecessor by incorporating more intricate gameplay mechanics and expansive environments. The dedication of the modding community adds a unique layer, allowing players to experience the game through the beloved Star Wars Clone Wars lens.
