MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun (Realistic) v1.0.0

A Mod for Helldivers 2
MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun (Realistic) akl_mod_preview_image
My Realistic collection of weapons aims to rebalance Helldivers 2's weak weaponry into competitive choices with reasonable, mooostly realistic tweaks.

The original MG-206 kicks hard, sprays wide for a bipod-mounted machine gun and runs dry after only three drums. This mod turns it into the sustained-fire weapon it should be.

- Recoil reduced by 25% (horizontal 32.5 to 24.4, vertical 55 to 41.3)
- Spread reduced from 5/5 to 3/3
- Fire rate modes increased from 450/600/750 to 600/750/900 RPM
- Spare drums increased from 2 to 3
- Durable damage increased from 35 to 50

It now holds a total combat load of 400 rounds. The E/MG-101 HMG Emplacement fires the same round, so it gets the durable damage increase too.

Made with great help from my friend Claude.

This is a very good mod. Thank you for your efforts. However, the increase in rate of fire has made the ammunition issue of the heavy machine gun even more serious. Could you increase the number of ammunition in the 75-round drum? And it is also hoped to increase the damage by another 25 points in order to reach certain thresholds.

it's beautiful. It doesn't feel too overpowered, and I appreciate that you made the spare drum resupply also x3 to match your max spare drum change, so it doesn't eat resupplies like hot dogs. Not changing the ergo is surprising, but so far, I enjoy this rebalance. The dakka I've always wanted against heavy enemies.

could you do a mod for the regular FRV that puts all the ammo into one magazine and gives it an extra 100 rounds so around 600

So mods like these are allowed but other weapon mods aren't? I have yet to run into a single person online running with weapon mods. Thats whack.

Great Mod by the way! Nice to see one of the best support weapons get some Much needed love. (since AH wont)

Awesome mod, it feels much better now.
Though I don't suppose we could get an unrealistic version with all this but also AP5? Maybe a little more ballistic damage damage too? (Or at least a line of it so we can edit it ourselves?)
If not then not hard feelings of course, just figured it couldn't hurt to ask :)
