Helldiver

A Helldivers 2 survivor for Risk of Rain 2: a rifle or a shotgun, grenades, a dive or the LIFT-850 Jump Pack, and HD2-style stratagems you call in by typing their arrow codes and throwing a beacon.

Loadout

Slot	Choices
Passive	Democracy Protects: a lethal hit has a 50% chance to be survived (25% health back, 1.5 s invulnerable), at most once every 40 s.
Primary	AR-23 Liberator: automatic rifle, 70% damage per bullet, 640 rpm, 30-round magazine. SG-225 Breaker: shotgun, 9 pellets x 55%, 300 rpm, 6 shells. Both reload when empty or after 2.5 s without firing (faster with attack speed); the rounds left show on the skill icon.
Secondary	G-12 High Explosive: 700% damage, a second after it lands. G-23 Stun: 300% in a wide radius, stuns, 2 charges.
Utility	Dive: a quick dive in the direction you move. LIFT-850 Jump Pack: launch up and forward from the ground, or hover for 2.6 s in mid air.
Special	One stratagem, picked in the loadout (below).

Stratagems

Press Special, type the code with the arrow keys, aim, then fire to throw the beacon. It sticks to the ground or to an enemy and calls the stratagem in on that spot after a moment. Press Special again to cancel; a charge is only spent when the beacon is thrown.

Stratagem	Code	Effect	Cooldown
Orbital Precision Strike	→ → ↑	one shot, 8000% damage, stuns	45 s
Eagle Airstrike	↑ → ↓ →	6 bombs in two lines toward the target, 1200% each	50 s
Eagle 500kg Bomb	↑ → ↓ ↓ ↓	one huge bomb, 5000% in a 24 m radius	65 s
Orbital EMS Strike	→ → ← ↓	a beacon that keeps shocking and stunning enemies near it	60 s
Resupply	↓ ↓ ↑ →	a beacon that heals allies near it; resets your Secondary and Utility cooldowns	50 s

All numbers above are the defaults; every one of them can be changed (see Configuration).

Configuration

Settings live in BepInEx/config/terr4.helldiver.cfg, which is written with the defaults the first time the game starts with the mod. In r2modman: Config editor → terr4.helldiver.cfg. The file is split into numbered sections, one per character part:

Section	What you can change
01. Character	base health, health per level, regen, armor, base damage, damage per level, move speed
02. Passive	chance, cooldown, heal, invulnerability time
03-04. Primaries	damage, fire rate (rpm), magazine size, reload time, auto reload delay; Breaker pellets
05-06. Grenades	damage, blast radius, cooldown, charges
07-08. Utilities	Dive cooldown; Jump Pack cooldown, launch speeds, hover time
09-13. Stratagems	damage, blast radius, impact delay, cooldown (per stratagem)
14. Stratagems - All	time to type a code, beacon delay, throw range
15. Visuals	cape on/off, ammo counter by the crosshair on/off, ammo on the skill icon on/off

Damage values are percentages, as in the skill descriptions (70 = 70% damage). The in-game descriptions always show the configured numbers. Values marked "Restart" in the file (character stats, cooldowns, charges, blast radii) take effect after restarting the game; the others apply right away. In co-op every player should use the same values.

Installing

Requires BepInExPack and R2API (ContentManagement, Language, Prefab).

Models

The models are built for low-end PCs: about 18,000 triangles for the Helldiver and everything it carries, block-compressed textures (about 13 MB of video memory), loaded once while the game starts.
