Helldivers 2 Modder Spent 569 Days Adding Hostile Orks and Vehicles from Warhammer 40,000

This year, the creators of the cooperative shooter Helldivers 2 collaborated with Warhammer 40,000. The developers added themed content in the style of the franchise to the game.

Recently, an enthusiast under the nickname Heloisezz completed a large-scale project also related to Warhammer 40,000. After 569 days, he finished creating a modification that adds Orks to Helldivers 2.

Heloisezz clarified that this is not about adding a full-fledged new faction — from a technical point of view, it's a replacement of Automaton units and building models with Ork units.

The modder noted that he paid attention to optimization, but due to the specifics of the implementation, the project may consume additional RAM (but should not affect FPS).

The "Warhammer 40k Xenos Incursion Mod – ORKS" modification for Helldivers 2 is distributed for free via Nexus Mods. There are also audio mods from this line:

• "Warhammer 40k Xenos Incursion Mod - Orks - Music Replacement" by Hengilore — will replace Automaton-related music with the Ork soundtrack from WH 40K.
• "Warhammer 40k Xenos Incursion Mod - Orks – AUDIO" by RiqCrow — a complete overhaul of Automaton sounds (replaced with authentic Ork effects from WH 40K — character voices, etc., audio was taken from games in the franchise: Space Marine, Dawn of War, and more).
