M-1000 Maxigun — Heavy Penetration AP4 (Balanced) 2026-09-24

A Mod for Helldivers 2
M-1000 Maxigun — Heavy Penetration AP4 (Balanced) akl_mod_preview_image
The Maxigun always looked like it should punch through something heavier than it actually does. This variant fixes that without turning it into a monster.

What it does
  • Armor penetration: 3/3/3/0 → 4/4/4/0 (AP4)
  • Base damage: 80 → 90
  • Everything else stays vanilla: durable damage, RPM, ammo, recoil, ergonomics, spin-up

What it does NOT do
  • It does not remove the firing movement lock. You still root in place while shooting, exactly like vanilla.
  • No stat inflation, no one-shot nonsense. The goal is a gun that feels fun and finally relevant against heavier armor, not a win button.

Compatibility​

Yes, it finally works with the other M-1000 mod now.
You can enable both Free Firing Movement and AP4 Balanced at the same time without them fighting each other. If both are enabled, you get:
  • AP4
  • 90 base damage
  • Free movement while firing

I messed up a variable and it made both M-1000 mods fight each other lol. Fixed it now, so they should work together properly.

Can confirm this still works after updating to Bingus Shared Loader v18 (which seems to have broken a lot of other mods that changed weapon attributes)

Mod Lag Watchdog​

After investigation, this module was found to be causing serious performance issues.​

Hi! Thanks for the report and the screenshot.

I tested the AP4 mod together with Solo Vehicle Driver and C4 Quick Actions, with the Maxigun equipped and without it, and with different load orders. In every test AP4 dropped to 0.0 ms/s in Mod Lag Watchdog, so it applied and then stopped running as expected.

To check your case properly, could you tell me:

1. Which AP4 version/file you downloaded.
2. Whether any other mod changes the Maxigun's stats (damage, armor penetration, etc.).

It could be an older build, or another mod stopping mine from hooking correctly. If you're on an older version, please try the latest one first.

He has been going around, false-flagging instead of troubleshooting his modlist... even after my attempts of me telling him to. I see he has reached you as well...
Mod works fine, b0ssu, btw... slight hiccup on the ship as expected for a scan and memory change, then the job retires, ensuring no lag in gameplay. I just hope he can post a modlist....

You need to post your mod list to be sure that it is the mod itself causing a slow down.

Because from your screenshot, I can tell you have at least 25 mods on.

You have visual mods, cheat armor mods, and possibly other damage change mods including your bubble shield booster.

Modding can absolutely clash with each other, specifically damage change mods.

Either post your mod list or retest with only this mod and Bingus Loader or stop false flagging crap.
