💬 Indian Modding Community — Exclusive Interviews

We spoke to three top Indian SOD2 modders to get their honest takes on the modding scene. Here's what they said:

🎙️ Interview: Arjun "ModZombie" Nair (Kerala)

Q: Which mod changed your game the most?
"Definitely the Community Editor Plus. It lets you tweak everything — from survivor skills to base supplies. I've spent more time in the editor than in the actual game! Haha."

Q: Advice for new modders?
"Start small. Don't download 50 mods at once. Pick one or two, test them, then build your loadout. And always backup your saves — seriously."

🎙️ Interview: Priya "SOD2Queen" Sharma (Delhi)

Q: Favourite visual mod?
"Night Vision & Lighting Fix. The base game is way too dark on my laptop. This mod made night missions actually playable. It's a lifesaver!"

Q: Any mod you avoid?
"Anything that claims 'unlimited ammo' — it kills the survival vibe. Mods should enhance the challenge, not remove it."
