A Blender addon facilitating the modding of textures, meshes and materials contained within Helldivers 2 archives.
Caution
Helldivers 2 is a multiplayer game with anti-cheat measures. While the client-side cosmetic mods that this tool is capable of producing are unlikely to trigger those measures (and has yet to do so in over 40 hours of personal testing), modding of any sort is done entirely at the risk of the end-user and neither ToastedShoes, Kboy, Irastris, GitHub, Nexus Mods, or any other entity can be held responsible for damages that may result from utilizing this tool and/or mods produced with it. You have been warned!
Community Edition aims to bring quality of life features to the Helldivers 2 Modding tools. There is much that has been improved with the tools and much that still needs to be. If you have any suggestions please make an issue. Here's what we have so far:
- Listed Found Archives so you don't manually have to select and load Archives by their IDs
- Easy Naming and Exporting Patches so that modding is as seamless as possible
- Descriptions for all actions in the tool
- Default Archive Button for the one that patches should be made from
- Better Error Handling for more detailed error messages for when things go wrong
- Easier Data Copying for transferring IDs to custom meshes when overriding game models
- Bulk Scene Importing for using a text file to import many archives at once
- And Much More!
The developers of the original version of the tool have stated that they are unlikely to update it. Therefore, this community version of it has been made to bring quality of life features and to fix issues with the base version of the tool.

We've taken the time to write a tutorial focused on armor modding which should assist those already moderately familiar with mesh modding and Blender in general. Unfortunately we do not have the means to provide constant support to anyone new to either, but in the event anyone should write a more in-depth tutorial, create a video tutorial, etc, we would be happy to feature it here if it's brought to our attention.
