Helldivers VR

[solemn saffron]

With this being the next Gen in VR modding, could be the perfect opportunity to get a really good Helldivers 2 mod.

Weapons
Armor
A custom mode
Stradegems

Pick up a weapon and join the fight

Land on various planets and bring democracy the American way

For super Earth!!!

[fallen aurora]

Liber tea

[fringe plover]

For democracy

[mighty wave]

This is NOT the modding suggestions

[wispy bloom]

It literally is

[void sluice]

I AM ALL FOR THIS ONE!!!

FOR DEMOCRACY!!!!

[drowsy geyser]

Good idea but seems very implausible. Also this isn’t suggestions for mods.

[void sluice]

I did it in BaS 🤷‍♂️

[drowsy geyser]

Two very different games

[wise trout]

@solemn saffron Hey man, if you wanna recreate the entirety of a different game, feel free to, don't expect literally anyone else to do so though

[void sluice]

Literally this.

Or make a commission with a modder

[wise trout]

Get ready to drain your bank for paying for the recreation of an entire game

Along with the possibility of a copyright strike from the creators of the actual game

[void sluice]

Yeah...

That wouldn't go so hot...

[wise trout]

Yea

[solemn saffron]

I didn't mean the entire game. I only put "a custom mode". Doesn't have to be the full game. Could be similar to the battlefront 2 mod on Contractors where it's mainly a modded loadout system with the team death match game mode

[void sluice]

LIMITING DEMOCRACY ARE WE?

😭

[solemn saffron]

Could be like the CODZ mod which is built on the Co-op mode

[daring copper]

a custom game mode based on helldivers 2 with custom weapons wouldn’t be unreasonable in terms of scope, because similar things have been done with CODZ

but this isn’t exactly the channel for mod suggestions, this is about what you want to see as part of the game itself

[wise trout]

Well we don't know how the SDK will look and feel juuust yet

Nor how they will do the systems required

Also experience in the field is required for saying if it is reasonable or unreasonable lol

[daring copper]

CODZ mods I’ve seen with weapon rosters stretching into the hundreds, and that’s with an SDK known for being kind of a buggy mess. One of Beyond’s primary goals is to address said concern with mod development in the first place.

so a similar type of thingy based on Helldivers 2 wouldn’t be unreasonable whenever most of the internal systems needed for such a game mode will already be available at launch

[wise trout]

Well do you know the experience of the people who made it? Or how long it took?

[daring copper]

I think the fact that there have been multiple independent modders that have made their own versions of the “CoDZ backend” says that making such a game mode isn’t that difficult

it’s gotten to the point that the CoDZ mods in their entireties can be embedded into the maps themselves.

[wise trout]

Well multiple people have made and designed cars before, so it must be easy to make one

[daring copper]

a helldivers mod in a similar vein is perfectly reasonable to implement in the span of a mod.

[wise trout]

Multiple pyramids and pyramid shaped structures have been made several times around the world, so it must be easy

[solemn saffron]

Are you comparing game modding to building a pyramid?

[wise trout]

They are saying that, because other people have done this specifically thing, a few times, it must not be unreasonable

Even though there are many factors that contribute to a thing getting done

Like experience, time, maybe even money, multiple people

[solemn saffron]

There are. For one, you need to know how the game works and what you can change without breaking it

[daring copper]

if somebody wants to make a helldivers mod, then the helldivers mod will get made.

[wise trout]

Stuff you can't really clock in by just downloading it

[wise trout]

You're welcome to do it

[solemn saffron]

Also about the copyright thing. I can name a handful of mods that would be at risk if that was an issue

[daring copper]

much of what’s needed on the backend for a helldivers mod in the first place will already be implemented by launch

[daring copper]

never forget the tfvr debacle

[wise trout]

Like?

[daring copper]

most of the stuff needed for a zombies game mode or npc bots would translate smoothly to a helldivers game mode, and the backend weapon mechanics needed for loading various kinds of firearms are standard feature for a VR shooter in 2025

we already have stuff that no other shooter has on that front anyway, like the shoulder constraint for AKs.

[wise trout]

Well, thank god the me and another guy asked for more options related to gun reloading lol

[wise trout]

Also, checking your bio, if someone be makin a mod like this, you could help by modeling

[daring copper]

i am a blender user, yeah

[wise trout]

I too am a blender user

I hate using premade assets for stuff

[solemn saffron]

With the time, we could see some great modded modes and loadouts

[wise trout]

Yes

[fringe plover]

We restructured it to include the future mod tag

[wispy bloom]

This is a modding channel. One of the tags is future mod

[strange vale]

the super earth way* , the united states of america are no more

also they literally said you make GAMES inside of beyond sandbox, so uh

so it ain't by contractors level, it means more

not the actual game level ofc

[solemn saffron]

I'm not expecting the full game remade. I'll be satisfied if it's a smaller mode, like the battlefront or CODZ mods

[halcyon willow]

🦅 🇺🇸 Democracy!

amazing mod idea

[mighty wave]

Feature suggestions is not mod suggestions

[wispy bloom]

There used to be no mod suggestion and one of the tags is literally future mod.

[mighty wave]

well shit im blind
