Helldivers 2 players add Master Chief, Buzz Lightyear to the game—and even the CEO is impressed

Helldivers 2, a live-service game, doesn’t support mods. Then again, that never stopped PC modders, who ported popular characters like the Master Chief and Buzz Lightyear into the game. Even Arrowhead’s chief executive was impressed and said he wishes to one day make a game with official modding support.

The characters were ported into the game by popular YouTuber and modder ToastedShoes, who uploaded a video of the whole ordeal on Saturday, May 4. It caught the attention of one X (formerly Twitter) user, who shared the video on May 8. The user said how the “PC Master Race community is laughing at Arrowhead and PlayStation by using mods,” and tagged the developer’s chief executive, Johan Pilestedt. The latter responded on X, calling the mods “hilarious,” and said how he was “impressed by the ability to do these mesh swaps given that the engine has no support for mods.”
