Setup now works with the current Steam version of HELLDIVERS 2. Download HellForge-Setup.exe below and run it. On an
existing installation it offers Update and keeps your game copy, profiles and mods.

Setup

  • No more Steam console downloads for the current game version. When Steam has the current HELLDIVERS 2 (build
    25988413), setup downloads a patch pack (about 1.7 GB, checked against its SHA-256) and makes HellForge's game copy
    (build 25480438) by patching your own Steam files. A 24 GB depot download is no longer needed. Your Steam
    installation is only read, never changed.
  • Other game versions still use the Steam console download (download_depot) as before.
  • A smaller game copy: 19 depot files HellForge never uses are no longer copied or checked (135 files instead of
    154). Existing installations keep working as they are.

Editor (F8)

  • Weapons that fire an entity (the Breacher's charge, the Maelstrom's rockets and similar) now edit that entity's
    explosive, explosion and damage rows. Before, their speed and explosion edits changed rows the weapon doesn't use.
    The unused rows' fields are hidden, and a saved edit of one is skipped.

You need

  • Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), and HELLDIVERS 2 on Steam: the current version (patched by setup) or build 25480438
  • Steam running and signed in to an account that owns the game or has it through Steam Family Sharing
  • About 25 GB free on the drive you install to (plus about 2 GB while the patch pack is applied), and one Windows
    administrator prompt

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

Found a problem? Report it in the Discord (link in the launcher's sidebar) or as a GitHub issue. The launcher's Save logs to
Desktop button (Console page) collects what we need.
