- Supports Vanilla Plus Megapack v7 with one shared loader installation.
- Preserves API 1, existing module identities, Wwise callbacks and failure isolation.
- Passed all 8,192 optional-module combinations. The payload matches the loader used for the in-game confirmed mod.
Install this ZIP separately from the mods you want to use. With default Arsenal priority, place the loader last, then Purge / Deploy.
Bingus Shared Loader - v11
Starts Controllable Hover Pack v1 through the shared loader, retaining API 1 and existing module identities. The hover mod was confirmed working in-game with this loader. Optional Vehicle Stability discovery remains available.
Install Bingus-Shared-Loader-v11.zip with Arsenal or HD2MM. Close the game before deployment.
Replace the prior loader package; use one loader copy. With default Arsenal priority, put the loader last. Startup checks cover 4,096 optional-module combinations.
Bingus Shared Loader - v9
Starts installed CowboyBingus mods through a shared loader, including Vanilla Plus Megapack and Enemy Collision Synchronized.
Install Bingus-Shared-Loader-v9.zip through Arsenal or HD2MM. Replace the previous loader entry. With default Arsenal priority, place the loader last, then Purge / Deploy.
Current standalone gameplay packages may remain installed alongside the megapack: shared resources and per-mod guards prevent duplicate initialization.
Bingus Shared Loader - loader-v6
Bingus Shared Loader loader-v6 / API 1 starts installed gameplay modules through one shared coordinator and supports Consistent Vaulting data-v8.
Changes
- Adds Sentry Aim Retention to the optional module registry.
- Retains Consistent Vaulting support through the existing API 1 interface, alongside Better Stratagem Bounce, Hellpod Steering Unlocked, Reinforcement Beacons Fixed and Shallow Water Diving.
- Preserves the manager GUID, original Wwise audio callbacks and boot resource. Missing or failed optional modules remain isolated so later modules can load.
- Keeps supported HUD Ballistic Trajectory Overlay v2 startup and HUD+ 0.1.3 coexistence. The loader has no gameplay effect by itself.
Installation
Download BingusSharedLoader.zip, close the game and replace the previous loader entry in Arsenal or HD2MM. Enable it alongside your selected gameplay mods, then Purge and Deploy. Use only one loader copy.
With Arsenal's default priority, put the loader last, at the bottom of the load order. With first-mod priority enabled, put it first. Give it winning priority over HUD Ballistic Trajectory Overlay v2 if that optional overlay is installed.
Supported target: Steam build 24826606, EXE 1.8.45317.0.
Validation and download
Offline validation passes all 256 coordinator presence combinations, the 128-case HUD/overlay startup integration matrix, package provenance checks and seven-package conflict/order/removal checks. Live validation of this revision remains pending; module registration and startup checks do not establish individual mods' gameplay behavior.

Bingus Shared Loader — loader-v5
Adds startup support for Shallow Water Diving and Consistent Vaulting while preserving API 1 and existing module compatibility.
Download BingusSharedLoader.zip for installation. Replace the previous loader in Arsenal or HD2MM, then Purge and Deploy with the game closed. With Arsenal's default priority, place the loader last.
Offline validation passes: 128 registered-module combinations, callback and audio preservation, failure isolation, HUD+ and Overlay v2 integration, and package ownership across load orders. In-game validation of loader-v5 remains pending; this is a prerelease.

Bingus Shared Loader — loader-v3
Bingus Shared Loader — loader-v3
Important
Required dependency for Better Stratagem Bounce, Hellpod Steering Unlocked and Reinforcement Beacons Fixed. Install with Arsenal or HD2MM: import BingusSharedLoader.zip, enable it alongside your chosen mods, then click Deploy. One loader installation supports all your selected mods.
Arsenal (default priority): place Bingus Shared Loader LAST, at the bottom of the load order, then Purge → Deploy. If you enabled first-mod priority, place the loader first instead.
Adds built-in startup support for HUD Ballistic Trajectory Overlay v2, released September 11, 2026. Install the original overlay separately and give Bingus Shared Loader the winning priority over it. Arsenal's shared-file warning remains expected; no extra compatibility package is required.
Install BingusSharedLoader.zip alongside the chosen gameplay mods. Replace the previous loader entry, then Purge and Deploy with the game closed. Do not install old and renamed copies together.
The manager GUID and API 1 remain unchanged. Existing module-only gameplay packages need no rebuild. The loader preserves original Wwise callbacks, leaves HUD+ and boot unchanged, skips missing modules and isolates load failures. It has no gameplay effect alone.
The maintainer confirmed loader-v3 works in-game with Overlay v2. The published runtime matches that tested build. The overlay also passes 64 offline startup combinations with HUD+ 0.1.3 and the current gameplay packages. Configuration reads, callback forwarding and duplicate initialization are covered. Arsenal import, deployment, removal and purge checks passed for all five packages across 3,840 order and enable-state combinations. These checks do not certify every gameplay mod's behavior.
Download BingusSharedLoader.zip for installation. BingusSharedLoader-source.zip contains the source, and SHA256SUMS.txt covers both ZIPs. Extracted game and third-party resources are excluded from the source package.

Bingus Shared Loader — loader-v2
Bingus Shared Loader — loader-v2
Renamed from Shared Mod Loader, with matching banner and square Arsenal artwork. The manager GUID, API marker and module resource names are preserved for compatibility with current module-only gameplay packages.
Install BingusSharedLoader.zip alongside the chosen gameplay mods. Replace the previous loader entry, then Purge and Deploy with the game closed. Do not install old and renamed copies together.
The loader preserves the original Wwise callbacks, leaves boot unchanged, skips missing modules and isolates load failures. It has no gameplay effect alone. A successful module load does not establish that module's gameplay correctness.
Callback, resource ownership, HUD compatibility and isolated Arsenal/HD2MM deployment checks passed. Source publication excludes extracted game resources, manager profiles, binaries, local captures and repository history.
