VG-70 Variable Armor Penetration LIGHT -> MEDIUM 1.1

A Mod for Helldivers 2
VG-70 Variable Armor Penetration LIGHT -> MEDIUM akl_mod_preview_image
This mod is a simple balance tweak for the VG-70 Variable, increasing its armor penetration from Light to Medium to make the weapon more viable in the current Helldivers 2 meta. The goal was not to completely redesign the weapon, but to give it a more practical role against tougher armored targets while still keeping the gun’s overall feel and identity intact.

I used “Produced by the Ministry of Defence – Bolt Pistol Rounds for the JAR-5 Dominator” as the base/reference for this mod and simply adjusted the relevant penetration values for the VG-70 Variable:
https://ayakamods.com/mods/produced...t-pistol-rounds-for-the-jar-5-dominator.3966/

This means the mod is intentionally straightforward: no major rework, no extra gimmicks, and no sweeping balance overhaul—just a clean penetration increase to help the weapon perform better in the current meta.

Requirements:
  • Requires Bingus’ Mod Loader v15
  • Place it at the BOTTOM of your mod list

You said you used the Dominator mod as a base- Did you follow a tutorial or guide for how to do that or did you just kind of go off vibes?
I want to make the Halo shotgun heavy pen but have no idea where to even get Started on how to go about that so, figured it couldn't hurt to ask...
