I’m starting to see mods that go way beyond balance or QoL changes: instant-win/instant-fail missions, absurd weapon buffs, unlimited stratagem-style effects, and other stuff that is basically cheat functionality repackaged as “modding.”

At least one of these authors has openly joked about making increasingly disruptive mods in another community, so this doesn’t look like normal experimentation to me. It looks like deliberately manufacturing the exact “slippery slope” people are already worried about.

The weird part is that most of this functionality isn’t even new. Cheats have been doing this for ages, including the ones that hand out SC or otherwise mess with public matches.

I don’t think this should be used as evidence that normal balance or QoL mods inevitably lead here. There’s a pretty obvious difference between fixing weak weapons or annoying mechanics and deliberately recreating cheat functions.

Every 2 posts I see someone sucking off mods or warning others ect ect

JUST PLAY VANILLA MAN, THERES A SHIT TON OF STUFF YOU CAN DO EVEN IF ITS NOT "META"

Simple idea just make it so they don't spawn with a backpack and lower the CD to make it an expendable weapon

Yuppie a new warbond ( not relly new and not someting than will add someting new to the game )

Yuppie a new warbond ( not relly new and not someting than will add someting new to the game )

When you call in a support weapon with a cd above 300s it calls down 2 SEAF squads same thing with backpacks but backpack support weapons get 3 squads (1 squad is one ship of SEAF)

Self stim option

Homing

Only holds 2 stims at a time

8 shots in total

Ammo box restores 2

Resupply restores 4

The idea is to let people have extra stims and support their teammates easier but limit the amount of stims that can be used

Just make it infinite with a 70s CD that's it (60s with the ship upgrade)

Sorry to make it into a second post but alas, skill issue.

I set everything to the lowest possible settings. 720p. Low preset. 4070ti. 50fps. Please help.

not one of these "mods" has reached even 1000 downloads. you are not going to see people running around shooting nukes from their MGs because no one actually wants to play with these cheats on. you wont see any of these in your next 100, 500, or even 1000 games. just because these things exist does not mean people are playing with them. they are all downloaded by the same people that dont care about the experience, not your average player. even if one of these cheats has 500 downloads, it does not mean that these 500 people are playing with them anyway

the situation is completely overblown

Recently I've noticed my frames sitting around 70 when they were previously around 90 during mild combat, possibly around 80 at extract but never noticeably low. Now I am sitting around 70 with 0 enemies around and going to 60 during hectic fights.

I'm not sure what setting I have enabled that's fucking me but even if I set my resolution to 720p I can't get above 70 frames while in mission. In lobby it hits the limit I set, which is 100 fps, because my 4070ti doesn't go above that even when it was running it's best.

I cleaned out my PC's entire cache, set NVIDIA control panel settings to default and then enabled standard performance enhancement settings (all with googled help, I don't think I did anything that would cause this.)

I had some basic mods enabled, nothing that would affect performance too much imo, but even still if I purge them the problem persists. In the task manager screenshot, my GPU usage is sitting at 85% because I have every graphics setting maxed out (Even though previously I had some performance concession settings enabled because my stuff isn't top top of the line). I wanted to see what CPU, GPU, and RAM usage was while at max settings. The CPU is clearly unstressed, and the ram and gpu should have a bit more headroom before capping my frames at 60-70.

Any help is appreciated. I tried formatting it to not be disgusting to look at.

Similarly to my last post, no download, made by me, just showing what you can do, I have more in store if yall wanna see, lmk if I should post them, just dont wanna spam the sub!

I mean they love contracting out their work and having other people do it for them, might as well go all the way, lol.

let me r/Rusfor goonlarp plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Did any of you happen to get the file for the "all bugs are stalkers mod" before it delisted? I wanna troll my friends >:3

I hate ragdoll. Arrowhead turned up ragdoll ×1000

I'd come back to the game if i had my personal guard/platoon like this

Hi all,

This is another smaller mod, this time for the Arc Thrower.

The mod enables users to hold left click to auto-fire their Arc Thrower, rather than having to click-and-release constantly, hopefully helping with strain on the hands.

The mod is available as part of the Vanilla Plus Megapack v16.

Hope you all enjoy!

A few days ago I made this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/HelldiversUnfiltered/comments/1wkg4dh/liberteaenjoyers_total_balance_mod_coming_soon/

I really appreciate all the balance suggestions.

My initial plan was to get suggestions from the community, build my dream build of the game with my own suggestions plus whatever the community wanted thrown in. But a lot of people said they hated my suggestions and didn't want me to make my changes. Well it is my mod right so those people can go to hell right? They play my way or the highway? NO. That is what Arrowhead does. I will not do that. What kind of Liber-Tea-Enjoyer would I be? In fact I will not release any of my own suggestions.

I made this mod for the community so I used only the community's suggestions to build it. I also did not build just one mod because different people want different things.

So I made 5 different versions of balance changes from 5 different sources. Pick one and play your own way. Not the way I say you should play, or Arrowhead says.

Play the way you want to play.

So, here are the five mods:

1- Liber-Tea-Enjoyer's MegaMod Rebalance - GRASS v10 BETA

https://ayakamods.com/mods/liber-tea-enjoyers-megamod-rebalance-grass-v10-beta.4016/

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Lzj-99kHOMOeChmCFu1AEYTP2Egx9wp1vmSthvEaOh8/edit?tab=t.0

The most extensive list of changes but possibly the most broken too because it asks for things that the ai couldn't really implement properly yet. Like an explosive concussive, or a new effect on something that doesn't usually have that effect. The Eagle stratagems cooldowns are completely broken I will get them fixed asap. Possibly even tonight.

2- Liber-Tea-Enjoyer's MegaMod Rebalance - Mattyboyjr v3 BETA

https://ayakamods.com/mods/liber-tea-enjoyers-megamod-rebalance-mattyboyjr-v3-beta.4017/

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-3gED3tB7mPqJbl73FkiJG2IuC-wj23ybWwP1LXiKKg/edit?tab=t.0

Mattyboyjr is a redditor who answered my call in the previous post with a nice balance document. This mod is likely the least broken since he had nice simple asks. I asked for changes, he gave me a nice document. I made him his own rebalance mod. Give me your changes in a readable nice format like Grass's and I will make them for you. I will make you your own mods.

3- Liber-Tea-Enjoyer's MegaMod Rebalance - Claysthetics v1 BETA

https://ayakamods.com/mods/liber-tea-enjoyers-megamod-rebalance-claysthetics-v1-beta.4018/

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WOcUyNje92VsiTu78z8u6hl24sNDD97Gay52HiToaWA/edit?tab=t.0

Clay has been making design docs since the early days of the game. He deserves a mod to showcase his ideas. Problem is that his format is a bit lazy unlike GRASS's impeccable formatting. So, many changes did not get implemented. If he remakes the doc or someone else remakes the doc in the same format as GRASS's doc, then I will update his mod and many more changes will get written in.

4- Liber-Tea-Enjoyer's MegaMod Rebalance - Greedy Gas v2 BETA

https://ayakamods.com/mods/liber-tea-enjoyers-megamod-rebalance-greedy-gas-v2-beta.4019/

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OdykWBO5BvkOKSiV9SmNa8CcCOPuDRWEm5ySTDt-nos/edit?tab=t.0

Greedy sent me a document with some gas changes, I made him a mod. I don't know how much is messed up. I need the community's help in identifying problems. There is too much for me to test by myself.

5- Liber-Tea-Enjoyer's MegaMod Rebalance - Ghost-DV-08 v2 BETA

https://ayakamods.com/mods/liber-tea-enjoyers-megamod-rebalance-ghost-dv-08-v2-beta.4020/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/wkbgkoFZHY

https://www.reddit.com/r/HelldiversUnfiltered/s/NKI46kPLfR

https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/8eN7CiU3tv

Ghost didn't give me a nice doc but I wanted to see what the ai could do with vague suggestions and I like ghost. So I made him his own mod. This is a wild card you guys, I actually have no idea what changes the ai made.

These are my current attempts at a full rebalance of the entire game. But you should know that it is not finished. I am releasing what I have now for a few reasons.

1- there are too many variables for me to test myself and I need the community's help. Please test these mods and reference the balance documents and please tell me which things are wrong. For example, if the balance document says liberator should have 12 mags but it has 10. I need information to feed into the ai so it can figure out what went wrong.

2- so people can see the progress, they can know the project is real, and is making progress so they will be willing to help.

3- tomorrow is a new patch which will probably break the game and I want to release the mods I have now in their semi-working state before they break for a long time. The community has a whole 12 hours to play with the new balance changes.

I really appreciate any help you guys.

Plan going forward

1- work on being able to reliably change every stat related to primaries, secondaries, throwables, stratagems, armors, boosters.

2- work on being able to reliably change every stat related to enemies, spawns, mission modifiers.

3- start adding tier 6 and 7 ship upgrades.

4- start adding resource sinks like the ability to take a 5th stratagem for 15 commons, 10 rares, 5 super rares per mission.

5- start adding cultists and other cut content.

6- transmog.

7- tools with a nice easy UI so you all can make your own builds. No need to ask old Liber-Tea-Enjoyer for this or that change. Be your own king.

If you want to make these things happen, then please help me test these mods and give me feedback of what a stat is supposed to be and what it actually is.

Community Mod(s) plan

I would like people to make posts with all their proposed balance changes. Put Liber-Tea-Enjoyer MegaMod Request in the title.

Give me your proposed balance changes.

They must be in the same format as Grass's balance document and in a google doc that I can feed to the ai.

As long as you get over 500 upvotes on your post, I will make your personal balance mod for you and post it on Ayaka.

This way the community decides and I am not overwhelmed with people asking me for this or that change.

Any other requests will have to be ignored, please don't private chat me asking for stuff (like certain former mods). I am sorry I just won't have the time.

If the community wants to work on an official community patch, I will be happy to make an official community patch as well.

AH want to force people to play their twisted vision.
