HD1 CLASSIC PLAS-1 SCORCHER RESTORATION
THE ORIGINAL LEGEND. THE CLASSIC FIREPOWER. THE RETURN OF THE SCORCHER.
ONE SHOT. ONE EXPLOSION. A WORLD OF FIRE.
The legendary PLAS-1 Scorcher from the original HELLDIVERS returns with its classic-inspired combat characteristics!
This mod restores the iconic area-of-effect incendiary explosions, classic ammunition configuration, and HD1-inspired damage values.
Unlike simple damage-boosting mods, this restoration focuses on bringing back the distinctive explosive incendiary behavior of the original weapon.
LET THE ENEMIES OF SUPER EARTH BURN!
⸻
1. CLASSIC EXPLOSIVE INCENDIARY SYSTEM
EVERY EXPLOSION SPREADS THE FLAMES OF MANAGED DEMOCRACY!
The PLAS-1 Scorcher now applies burning effects through its existing explosion mechanics.
Features
* Adds an incendiary effect directly to the PLAS-1’s original explosions.
* Enemies caught within the explosion radius are inflicted with burning.
* Enemies do not need to be directly hit by the plasma projectile to receive the burning effect.
* Preserves the original plasma projectile behavior.
* Retains the existing explosion mechanics instead of replacing the projectile with another weapon’s ammunition.
How It Works
When a plasma projectile explodes, enemies within the explosion’s effective radius are affected by the incendiary effect.
This allows the PLAS-1 to ignite multiple nearby enemies through a single explosion.
NO DIRECT HIT REQUIRED. IF THEY’RE IN THE BLAST RADIUS, THEY BURN.
⸻
2. CLASSIC AMMUNITION CONFIGURATION
BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL SCORCHER EXPERIENCE!
The PLAS-1 ammunition configuration has been adjusted to the classic HD1-inspired values.
Ammunition Configuration: 8 / 4
This modification brings back the classic ammunition setup inspired by the original HELLDIVERS.
⸻
3. CLASSIC DAMAGE RESTORATION
RESTORED FIREPOWER. RESTORED DESTRUCTION.
The PLAS-1’s damage values have been adjusted to the intended classic-inspired configuration.
Weapon Damage
Damage Type Modified Values
Base Damage 300 / 200
Explosion Damage 75 / 75
These values are intended to recreate the classic PLAS-1’s damage characteristics while retaining the HELLDIVERS 2 weapon mechanics.
Combined with the explosive incendiary effect, the weapon delivers powerful direct damage and area-of-effect burning.
THE SCORCHER DOESN’T JUST HIT HARD — IT LEAVES FIRE BEHIND.
⸻
4. ORIGINAL WEAPON MECHANICS PRESERVED
A TRUE CLASSIC-INSPIRED RESTORATION — NOT A SIMPLE WEAPON REPLACEMENT.
This mod modifies the existing PLAS-1 Scorcher rather than replacing it with a completely different weapon.
Preserved Features
* Original PLAS-1 plasma projectile behavior.
* Original explosion mechanics.
* Original weapon identity and core functionality.
Modified Features

* Classic-inspired ammunition configuration.
* Base damage values.
