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)
