The first public beta of HellForge: offline HELLDIVERS 2 with a modding SDK. Download HellForge-Setup.exe
below and run it. On an existing installation it offers Update and keeps your game copy, profiles and mods.

What you get

  • Your own offline copy of HELLDIVERS 2. Setup copies the game from your Steam library and checks every file against
    Steam's hashes. It runs against a local backend on your PC and never connects to official servers, so it can't be used
    to play online with a modified game. Your normal Steam game is never changed.
  • Co-op with Steam friends is the only multiplayer: host or join friends from your Steam friends list who also run
    HellForge, with the same gameplay mods. No matchmaking, no public lobbies.
  • An in-game editor (F8) to change the stats of weapons, stratagems, armor, vehicles and boosters live.
  • The Hell Forge difficulty (level 11, after Super Helldive): bigger maps, far more enemies and objectives.
  • A Mods page: add mods and cosmetic packs from their zips, switch them on and off, drag them into load order.
  • A C mod SDK with docs and examples, from a one-line weapon edit to new stratagems, weapons, sentries, models and
    difficulties. Mods ship their sources; HellForge builds them with a pinned compiler. Start with
    docs/first-mod.md.

You need

  • Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), and HELLDIVERS 2 on Steam, build 25480438
  • Steam running and signed in to the account that owns the game
  • About 25 GB free on the drive you install to, and one Windows administrator prompt
  • Windows Firewall switched on for every network type (setup checks and tells you)

Windows SmartScreen may warn that the setup is unrecognised: it is not code-signed yet (More info > Run anyway).

Support, news and mods: the Discord link in the launcher's sidebar.

Share this release by linking to it, not by reuploading the setup (licence). Mods made with the SDK are
yours, under any licence (MIT-0 SDK).
