Star Wars Mod For Helldivers 2 Creates The Best Clone Wars Game You've Ever Seen

Summary A new Helldivers 2 mod brings the Clone Army of Star Wars to fight for Super Earth.

YouTuber ToastedShoes shared the impressive mod in a video, showcasing iconic Clone Troopers and Separatist enemies.

Though unavailable for download yet, fans eagerly anticipate the release of the mod.

Helldivers 2 may already be filled with sinister robot armies and an endless supply of highly-trained soldiers, but one impressive mod wants to unite Super Earth's forces with the military might of The Republic from Star Wars. It doesn't take much to see the similarities between the obedient and endlessly patriotic Helldivers and the Clone Army designed and created on Kamino. Both are expert fighting forces with seemingly endless numbers, so mashing them up and creating one of the best Star Wars video games never made feels like an almost obvious idea.

Posted to X (formerly Twitter) by YouTuber ToastedShoes, the creator shared his mod team's Helldivers/Star Wars crossover in an add-on that looks shockingly official.

The mod allows users to step into the armor of an iconic Clone Trooper like Rex, Cody, or Hunter and lay waste to armies of Battle Droids, which take the place of the game's original Automaton faction. To make it an even more authentic creation of the Clone Wars, even vehicles and larger support enemies have been replaced by their Star Wars equivalent, including players' Super Destroyers which are adapted into Republic Attack Cruisers.

ToastedShoes' video highlights some of the Separatist enemies players will encounter as they play through the mod, including some iconic droids like Droidekas, B2 Super Battle Droids, and even the imposing OG-9 Homing Spider Droid. While the add-on is genuinely impressive with its faithful recreation of Star Wars vehicles and characters, it's currently unavailable to download as ToastedShoes explained that the team wants to spend some more time ironing out some of the bugs and problems. The creator does state that the public will soon be able to give it a try but doesn't specify a release window.

The Star Wars mod for Helldivers 2 is certainly not the first time Arrowhead Studios' game has been compared to The Clone Wars as fans have spent months envisioning what a crossover might look like. One of the more eye-catching creations is a brief clip animated in the style of Genndy Tartakovsky's Star Wars: Clone Wars microseries which envisioned a single Helldivers taking down an entire squad of Automatons by themself. It's undoubtedly a crossover that oozes with potential and given Helldivers 2 is only a few months old, even more impressive pieces of art will likely arrive soon.

Helldivers 2 continues to take the world by storm despite its recent issues regarding the community's rejection of mandatory PlayStation Network account linking. Even though Sony managed to prompt a massive protest against the rule, the player base eventually prevailed, but the game is still delisted from several regions that do not support PSN. Following such a dramatic turn of events, most of the community is simply happy to continue playing Helldivers 2 without all the drama.
