Underrated mod review. Its easy, step by step, and to the point. Thank you so much! I recently installed this mod manager (like last night) and I was pretty confused going forward after the game directory! Keep up the great work! Hopefully more people find this guide and get the same satisfaction as I did. (Also the chapters just make this so much easier to go back and rewatch a step, thank you so much for that!)
I'm glad to hear that! I'll also try to make a new video when the mod author releases a newer version. They said they are rewriting the code from scratch so I'm excited to see the changes. :)
You're welcome! Although it isn't installed with the mod manager, I feel people want to know, and thankfully it's quite simple to install! Happy modding / helldiving :)
Hey I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for creating this tutorial for the community. I would like to clear up some info on how to make variant mods work. At 25:16 you have the dropdown menus in the mod manager which are used to choose what variation type you want. I have explained it here in video format. ruclips.net/video/R26Gv-ZiG-k/видео.html Other than that, great info.
Ahh so that's how it works! Also, thank YOU for making so many incredible mods! I've actually spent the whole day downloading your ODST mods and setting them up. They are absolutely stellar.
For some reason when I launched the Manager, all the mods are gone from the list. Helldivers STILL has those mods (I played and all are working still) but the mod manager says that suddenly I dont have any
Did the storage folder get moved recently? If you recently updated the manager from an old version to a new one without purging, that will happen. You should be able to use "Hard Purge" to remove the previously installed mods and start over.
As far as I'm aware, there is no option within the Mod Manager to extract or export your mod list. Your best bet may be to go onto the nexus and check your "Download History". From there, you should be able to link your mods one at a time. I'm doing my finals in college this week, but I'll look into a possible way to streamline this. No guarentees of course (because I don't know how to go about it yet), but I'll give it a good ol' college try! All of your installed mods will be in the STORAGE directory you selected in the Mod Manager. The first folders there you are the .zip files (unzipped and deployed because of the manager). The folders within those are the mods themselves. That can possibly give you an idea of your current modlist. If you find a way to do so (outside of the mod manager), let me know! In the meantime, best of luck and I'll try to look into this as soon as I can, thank you!
Only you will see the mod, as it's locally installed on the system. If for example, one of the cosmetic mods you're utilizing is equipped on someone else, you'll see it on them, but they wont see it on themselves. All players are wholly unaffected.
Does your game directory pointer look something like this?: Game Directory: :\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Helldivers 2 If not I would double check to see that you're pointing to just "Helldivers 2", which contains those three folders: bin, data, tools. Also, ensure at least 1 mod is check marked to be deployed. If this setting is correct, and deploy is still not working, I would suggest trying this: 1) Open HD2ModManger.exe 2) Go to Settings 3) Click "HARD PURGE" -- this will remove all instances of all installed mods. 4) Try to deploy again. 5) If deploying still fails, go to Settings 6) Click: Hard Purge 7) Click: RESET 8) Reselect the directory again. And try to enable/deploy again.
ReShade is what I use to remove the capes / HUD. There's most likely tutorials out there for how to utilize ReShade, as it's universal for all video games on PC.
If it's the only mod installed for that armor type, you need to make sure you're using the "Brawny" body type, as the Lean will make it appear under the armor.
Having some significant trouble making 2 sound mods work, they have several folders with several sub folders in them so I'm starting to wonder if it's just too much for the manager to figure out or if there's something else that I'm missing. I couldn't even turn the sounds that I wanted into their own individual zip files, not sure what else I can do.
For mods that have multiple mods / options inside of them that perhaps change multiple items or just one, you’ll need to restructure them yourself.

After downloading the no cape mod, text apeard on left top corner of my screen saying that I need to press 'home' to start the tutorial. How to get rid of it?
@@YourLegoman278 Should be able to hit the home button and it'll have some instructions on how to do the tutorial, if I recall. Worst case, you can replace the mod with the Unofficial Photo Mode, uses a newer version of the ReShade and I think doesn't have the tutorial. The on-screen display should explain everything.
The initial pop-up is usually just the tutorial you need to complete. I think for some people the reshade version may be a bit out of date and it's having difficulties working for them with the latest version of Helldivers 2. Try out the 'Unofficial Photomode' as it uses a newer version of reshade and has some more features: www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/593
can i install a second hd2 modmanagers and fill it with different mods so as to swap between different mods? id like to able to swap between halo and star wars on the fly.
Absolutely! I actually do that for my "Modern Military" and "ODST" installations as there's no profile selections in the mod manager. Just make sure you use "Purge" and/or "Hard Purge" when you're done with one of the mod managers before switching to the other and you should be good to go. I think organizing your mods is the best thing you can do for your sanity. ODST (Halo) alone had about 100 installations I ended up doing so it can be a lot!
I have about a dozen audio mods installed so the mod manager makes them a breeze to setup and tear down. The dropdown menu is great when multiple audio mods adjust the same item.
I don't know if this is the right place to ask it, but with the no capes mod, my cap will toggle off, but if I move it renders back in. Any idea on how to fix that?
I'd bring that up in the mod creator's forums page (posts). It could be the version of reshade that comes with the mod or how it interacts with your system. If you can, uninstall it (delete the files), and try the Unofficial Photo Mode on the Nexus instead, which is the same thing but has a newer version of reshade. It may work, it may not, reshade is kind of a weird one. Sadly even the modding discord doesn't really cover it so your best bet is either the forums on Nexus, or reshade forums on reddit. Hope you're able to get it working!
Interesting, what's the mod? How did you install it? Where are the .patch files? Did you package them appropriately? Are your directories setup correctly? Does the game work if you purge / hard purge the mod?
I don't believe it's SteamDeck supported yet as it's not designed for Linux based systems. Although I do believe that the mod author is rewriting the mod manager to be compatible. There may be some workarounds but I'm not aware at the moment.
i did everything in order for the directions of the capes portion but for some odd reason the cape Still won't disable, Idk if I did anything wrong since its saying its not detecting the Fx. files or something. But I tried pulling the Fx. files out and see if that would fix my issue, but nah it didn't quite work I guess?. I'm lost but hopefully someone has seen this issue other than me.

If the Hide All Capes mod isn't working, try the Unofficial Photomode mod, it does the same thing, but user a newer version of ReShade alongside some other perks: www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/593
Try going to settings and clicking "Hard Purge" to get rid of all installed mods. This usually is because there are remnant patch.* files from a previous mod installation. If that doesn't work, make note of your Helldivers 2 game directory, uninstall it on steam, then double check to make sure there are no folders or files leftover (i.e. patch files). Then reinstall and try again.
Does anyone know if mod manager randomizes double options? Like if I installed two intro mods, do they both play at random or do I have to switch the one I want on each time?
That's up to how you install the mods. For detailed information with pictures and examples view the written guide PDF provided in the top comment, description, or in the #FAQ on the mod discord. To answer your question on "Does the Mod Manager Randomize Dropdown Menu Options", the answer is no, it does not. The load order determines what mod is loaded last, and therefore what "Intro video" will play in this example. Option 1: Install both mods into one zip folder. This method means you will zip both mod folders into the same zip. For example, the zip would be: "Intro Video Replacement", and inside would be both unzipped mod folders containing their respective .patch files. Then you can use the dropdown menu to select which one is active. Option 2: Disable One, Activate the other In this case, you've installed both mods separately, but they both change the same thing in the game. In this scenario, you can simply hit PURGE, deselect the currently installed mod, select the new mod, click DEPLOY. Option 3: Overwrite based on load order Both mods are installed separately and simultaneously. In this event, the mod on the bottom of the list takes priority, and will be loaded last. Therefore the last loaded mod that changes the intro will be the one that plays. Again, read the written guide for more detailed information. Happy modding.
Odd that windows would flag it as mine didn't, but it's safe to install. Your machine is just detecting that it doesn't have trusted certificates between your machine and the installer. Common for most installers like this one.
Yes, it's a false positive. Typically happens with homebrew mod managers like this one. Untrusted Certificates or No Digital Signature: If the .exe lacks a valid digital signature or uses a certificate that isn’t issued by a trusted public Certificate Authority (CA), antivirus software might flag it as suspicious.
If Bitdefender flags HD2ModManager, it’s likely a false positive due to the modding tool behavior. Consider going on the forums by going to the official Nexus Mods support page for HD2ModManager and further assistance: www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/109
I did this and now my helldivers wont open, it just automatically closes once i try to open helldivers(nvm i re-installed the game and deleted the mod and used a different mod and it ended up running
I would report that to the mod author on the mod page to see why that would be happening. Run through some troubleshooting first, such as purging, ensuring your directories are setup correctly, your files are properly verified through steam, trying to run the game without mods, etc. As always, mileage may vary depending on the system and mods used.
@@Akabane101 it ended working, though i had to use a different mod( i just got flung out a patriot exo-suit at light speed into the nearest wall while being a hellmarine(skin mod)
It shouldn't be, most likely how you've installed the manager, or previous mods. Read through the written guide and join the modding discord for assistance.
Yup, there's always an inherent risk. As the mods are purely cosmetic, and that both the CCO and Arrowhead are okay with them, it'd be down to the publisher, Sony for the ultimate decision. As long as GameGuard is happy, shouldn't be an issue. Never cheat, never use cheat engine, and never try to ruin someone else's game. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@@JamesBond-wh3cu Yes, for using disallowed mods. Such as cheating immortality, or cheating in the game, or cheating in general. The anti-cheat knows the visual / cosmetic mods are installed as well. It's only if the anti-cheat deems the mods disallowed that bans may occur.

This method means you will zip both mod folders into the same zip. For example, the zip would be: "Intro Video Replacement", and inside would be both unzipped mod folders containing their respective .patch files. Then you can use the dropdown menu to select which one is active.
Option 2: Disable One, Activate the other
In this case, you've installed both mods separately, but they both change the same thing in the game. In this scenario, you can simply hit PURGE, deselect the currently installed mod, select the new mod, click DEPLOY.
Option 3: Overwrite based on load order
Both mods are installed separately and simultaneously. In this event, the mod on the bottom of the list takes priority, and will be loaded last. Therefore the last loaded mod that changes the intro will be the one that plays.
Again, read the written guide for more detailed information. Happy modding.

windows flagged it as malware, do i still download it?
Odd that windows would flag it as mine didn't, but it's safe to install. Your machine is just detecting that it doesn't have trusted certificates between your machine and the installer. Common for most installers like this one.
Is this safe to download im getting warnings surely it is false positive right?
Yes, it's a false positive. Typically happens with homebrew mod managers like this one.
Untrusted Certificates or No Digital Signature:
If the .exe lacks a valid digital signature or uses a certificate that isn’t issued by a trusted public Certificate Authority (CA), antivirus software might flag it as suspicious.
hey Bitdefender keeps flagging it as a virus when I open the mod manager the 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 , is it a false positive or an actual virus?
If Bitdefender flags HD2ModManager, it’s likely a false positive due to the modding tool behavior. Consider going on the forums by going to the official Nexus Mods support page for HD2ModManager and further assistance: www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/109
@@Akabane101 Thank you , i been doing manual modding and its confusing overlapping mods without knowing whats what. Ill drop a comment
@@Seaker35 Hopefully this manages to help! :)
I did this and now my helldivers wont open, it just automatically closes once i try to open helldivers(nvm i re-installed the game and deleted the mod and used a different mod and it ended up running
I would report that to the mod author on the mod page to see why that would be happening.
Run through some troubleshooting first, such as purging, ensuring your directories are setup correctly, your files are properly verified through steam, trying to run the game without mods, etc.
As always, mileage may vary depending on the system and mods used.
@@Akabane101 I deleted the mod and I re-installed the game and that fixed the problem
@@random_guy-l4b Perfecto :) Shame it doesn't work for you!
@@Akabane101 it ended working, though i had to use a different mod( i just got flung out a patriot exo-suit at light speed into the nearest wall while being a hellmarine(skin mod)
this hellmarine skin got me acting different
Game crash 10/10 times.
It shouldn't be, most likely how you've installed the manager, or previous mods. Read through the written guide and join the modding discord for assistance.
@@Akabane101 I'm just dumb as fuck, i managed to get it working ;) Amazing tuto thanks a lot
@@TheNolife96 Happy modding :D
Might want to warn people that they might get banned for using mods.
Yup, there's always an inherent risk. As the mods are purely cosmetic, and that both the CCO and Arrowhead are okay with them, it'd be down to the publisher, Sony for the ultimate decision. As long as GameGuard is happy, shouldn't be an issue. Never cheat, never use cheat engine, and never try to ruin someone else's game.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@@Akabane101 If you read the comments on some of the mods on that site, plenty of people have been banned using them.
@@JamesBond-wh3cu Yes, for using disallowed mods. Such as cheating immortality, or cheating in the game, or cheating in general. The anti-cheat knows the visual / cosmetic mods are installed as well. It's only if the anti-cheat deems the mods disallowed that bans may occur.
@@Akabane101 Not just them. For trying to improve their fps etc too.
@@JamesBond-wh3cuyou can’t get banned for clients side mods🫵😂
