To clarify, I did not develop this mod; the original Creator is loregamer/Oyster Sauce (Original mod name: Customizable Cheat Arrows) from the rpghq site. Credits go completely to him; I've not seen them Reupload/Update this mod for months, sooo.. I took it upon myself to run it through a repatcher tool. Samples should no longer crash the game when explosions demolish them. (except squids, read below) Clips and Screenshots are from the original mod uploader. (This mod will not be posted on any other platform. cause... KARENS!!!!)

Still working for Patch 7.2.0


So what does it do?
- Adds color-coded arrows with Respective 3D Symbols over Samples, Medals, Requisition Slips, & Super Credits with a simple Mesh Swap.

- Features Customizable toggles in the Deployment Options Window, Such as deselecting an Arrow on deployment & optional High/Low Arrows.

- The arrow will not replace the sample model itself; it'll hover directly over it. Each sample has an opposite-side arrow in case an explosion flips it over!



Purpose.
- Shortening tedious grind sessions or as a training tool to reveal & help memorize where samples spawn, they can be seen across the map; you'd be surprised where some samples are tucked away by developers that (possibly!) couldn't be found without the mod! Some even require explosives to flush out! :O

~ If you believe it's too cheese, Fair Enough! Everyone has their own way of playing the game & opt to figure it out themselves!

Note: If the Mod Breaks again in a future patch, I can try repatching, buuut.... don't expect it to work! I cannot provide maintenance in future patches or add more features. Enjoy it while it lasts!


Some users may experience a black screen on the first launch after enabling the mod.

If this occurs, try launching the game once with Fancy Arrows disabled. Then enable Fancy Arrows with Common Samples → Low, launch successfully, close the game, and switch Common Samples back to High.

This workaround has resolved the issue for some users, but does not appear to work universally.

If the problem persists, clearing/deleting the Helldivers 2 shader cache may help.
Shader Cache is located:

C:\Users<your username>\AppData\Roaming\Arrowhead\Helldivers2\shader_cache




If you're playing Illuminates, please use the Low Common Sample Arrows to avoid crashes! I cannot fix High Arrows for Squids! Explosions have a chance to cause a crash if (High Arrow) Common Sample is in proximity!



The mod is Completely Client Side! Nobody can see the arrows in the lobby but you! (unless others using the same mod ofc, heh~)

If loregamer/Oyster Sauce sees this, thank you so much for giving us a Legendary QoL Mod to us Divers. I'll remove this mod post immediately at your Request! <3

Alright sad news. I've tried many approaches to the problem, none have seemed to repair Illuminate High (common sample) Arrow Crashes. So with great sadness I'm announcing my withdrawal from Fancy Arrows.

If someone who is great with Modding skills and have what it takes to maintain it, message me! You'd probably have to re-create Illuminate Sample mesh from scratch to fix the root cause. Am more than willing to share more intel/files! once I have a confirmed volunteer, I'll ask Site Moderators to transfer ownership. <3

Aye, I've ran it through a Repatcher Tool, the crashing for Samples (when destroyed with demolition force) has been fixed in this version I've released. There will still be dark artifact arrows sometimes, I cannot fix that. And yes, Supers are Visible & Never display dark Artifacts, those are primarily occuring in Bug Front on commons.

EDIT: I've uploaded my own Screenshot of Super Samples to the Mod's Previews.

Hey! Okay, After trying on additional 2 more mainstream Anti Virus Detecting tools, results came out invalid, there was another commenter like you that had the same issue but turns out Windows Defender was barking at nothing, it can happen! Though, don't take my word for it if you wish, I'm not your mom, heh~ Never trust the internet!

Mine works, you put the file folder into a zip, making it unreadable via arsenal that only detects the case sensitive terms for the mod, all you have to do is extract it, and then combine all the files into a zip with only one layer. IE .ZIP file *open* (credit, images, medal, requisition, sample, texture, manifest) instead of the current ZIP file *open* (Fancy Arrows.rar (uncompressed, its just named that)) open file folder (credit, images, medal, requisition, sample, texture, manifest). Its a simple file hierachy issue, atleast it was for me.

Huh strange, I thought I resolved that problem.. There was also a commenter mentioning this issue, so I released V3 as a double .rar zip because it appears like certain browsers are removing the .rar upon download, Thought it would fix it but apparently users still experience arsenal installation issues. For me it worked totally fine, by simply dragging and dropping ZIP into Arsenal window ;o;

For those wondering, Fancy Arrows is NOT a LUA mod! 7.1.0 didn't affect in any way as it has 0 dependencies, carry on, Divers! ~ <3

Do you think you could make the SC Marker more visible? Like whenever I look at the sky in phact bay, I just can't see it sometimes.
