[Produced by the Ministry of Defence] Eruptor Shells for the JAR-5 Dominator V1.0

A Mod for Helldivers 2
[Produced by the Ministry of Defence] Eruptor Shells for the JAR-5 Dominator akl_mod_preview_image

What it does

The JAR-5 Dominator and the R-36 Eruptor fire the same 15x100mm casing — identical mass, muzzle velocity, drag and gravity. They differ only in warhead and explosion.
This mod replaces the Dominator's warhead with the Eruptor's, so the Dominator fires:

  • 230 / 115 damage (direct / durable) with Heavy armour penetration
  • the Eruptor's impact explosion: 225 damage, Medium penetration, 4 m inner / 7 m outer radius, 30 shrapnel projectiles
  • 25% penetration slowdown, 100 g mass, 180 m/s muzzle velocity
Every number was matched field-by-field against the published R-36 Eruptor weapon statistics, so this is a data-accurate reproduction rather than an approximation. Ballistics are unchanged — the Dominator already uses the Eruptor's shell profile.

Requirements


  • Bingus Shared Loader v15 or newer (API 1) — required. This mod is an addon and will not load without it.
  • HD2 Mod Manager (HD2MM) or Arsenal.
  • Tested on Steam build 24826606 / EXE 1.8.45317.0.

Installation


  1. Close Helldivers 2.
  2. Import the ZIP into HD2 Mod Manager or Arsenal.
  3. Enable it, and make sure Bingus Shared Loader is also enabled.
  4. Deploy, then launch the game normally.
Give it up to a minute after launch — the addon locates the projectile data and applies the change automatically.

How it works

Helldivers 2 stores weapon and projectile data in generated_projectile_settings.dl_bin. On disk that file is encrypted, but at runtime the game maps the decrypted copy into memory. Each projectile is a 272-byte record whose first field is a unique projectile id.
This addon locates that table in memory and copies the Eruptor's projectile record over the Dominator's, keeping the Dominator's own id so the table stays consistent.
It writes exactly one record. No game files are modified, nothing is written to disk, and no DLLs are injected. Disabling the mod restores the original behaviour immediately.

Safety checks

The addon validates everything before it writes a single byte: the table is located by signature with its size and record count verified; source and target records are verified; it refuses to write if anything does not match and logs why; after writing it reads the record back to confirm. If a check fails you get a clear log message instead of a corrupted table.

Verifying it worked

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Hd2ProjRecon\DominatorEruptor.log — a successful install looks like:

Notes and limitations

  • Client-side only. Because Helldivers 2 is peer-to-peer and partly host-authoritative, what other players observe may differ.
  • Game updates will break it. Ids and offsets change between builds. When that happens it fails safely rather than writing bad data.
  • Other weapons sharing the same projectile may also change — variants using the same standard rocket round pick up the new warhead too.
  • Shrapnel projectiles are logic-only. The game's shrapnel has no model; the visible fragments come from the explosion effect.
  • Not tested in multiplayer. Tested solo. Use your own judgement in public lobbies.

Disclaimer

This is an unofficial, fan-made modification, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Arrowhead Game Studios or Sony.
This is a gameplay modification, not a cosmetic one. It changes weapon behaviour and gives the modified weapon significantly more damage and armour penetration than the original. If you do not want that, do not install it.
Use at your own risk. The mod modifies game process memory while the game is running. Helldivers 2 uses an anti-cheat solution, and while this mod only writes to the game's own loaded configuration data — it does not inject code, patch executables, or touch anything outside the game process — I cannot guarantee that no anti-cheat or account action will ever result.
The author accepts no liability for any loss, ban, corrupted installation, or other damage arising from the use of this mod. Back up your game's data folder and your mod manager profile if you are unsure.
Single-player and friends-only use is recommended. Do not use it to gain an advantage over other players in public games.

Uninstall

Disable the mod in your manager and Purge. All changes live in memory only.

Could it be possible to modify the ammunition capacity of the AC-8 autocannon to increase it slightly? I think this modification can both enhance its user experience and won't overly disrupt the balance.

It's hard to say, because the ammunition loading animation of the AC-8 autocannon loads five rounds at a time, I don't know if I can modify it

It's cool and fun, but it seems as if it would be better if it utilised the bolt pistol rounds. Anyhow, I would like to see the SOCOM pistol doing medium or heavy pen, and the Halo shotgun to be heavy pen. Hopefully someone will do that.

Hello! What tools are you using to create this mod? Is there some "mod creation tool"? or AI?
I would love to give some weapons a personal touch of my own.
