Democracy Defender Mod Manager
Your mods. Your democracy. Defended.​

A free, open-source mod manager for Helldivers 2 that works with mods from anywhere: AyakaMods, Nexus Mods, ModWorkshop, GameBanana, GitHub, any direct download link, or files already on your disk.

Made with love for the AyakaMods community ♥
AyakaMods is a first-class citizen in DDMM. Paste an AyakaMods mod link and DDMM takes it from there.

The DDMM Promise​

Every Helldiver takes an oath. This one's ours.
  • Every mod is welcome. DDMM will never block, blacklist, or rank mods or mod sites.
  • No account, anywhere. DDMM never asks for any mod site's login.
  • Your files, your choice. Your mods live in a folder you control.
  • Open source, forever. Apache-2.0, today and always.
  • Updates on your terms. Update checks only run when you click "Check for Updates" — never in the background.

Features​

  • Install from AyakaMods in one paste. Click "Add URL", paste the mod page link. DDMM opens it in your browser, you click Download as usual, and DDMM installs it automatically the moment it lands in your Downloads folder. It also remembers which AyakaMods mod it came from.
  • Update checks for AyakaMods mods. Click "Check for Updates" and mods with a newer version on AyakaMods get a badge, plus a one-click "Update from AyakaMods" that keeps your settings.
  • Finds Helldivers 2 for you through Steam — no setup on first launch.
  • Handles messy archives. Finds the mod files even when they're nested in folders, and turns variant folders (e.g. Red / Blue) into options you can pick from.
  • Profiles, per-mod options, one-click Deploy and Purge.
  • Safe by design. Every archive is checked before extraction, so a malicious mod can't write files outside its own folder.

Which file do I download?​

  • Windows, normal install: DDMM-2.0.0-rc.3-windows-x64-setup.exe (no admin rights needed)
  • Windows, no install: DDMM-2.0.0-rc.3-windows-x64-portable.zip (unzip anywhere and run ddmm.exe)
  • Linux: the AppImage, .deb, or .tar.gz from the GitHub release page

Quick start​

  1. Download and run DDMM. It finds your Helldivers 2 install automatically.
  2. Add mods: drag in an archive or folder, or click "Add URL" and paste an AyakaMods link.
  3. Click Deploy, then launch the game.

Windows SmartScreen: DDMM isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC". Click More info → Run anyway. This is expected for new open-source apps. SHA256 checksums are on the GitHub release page if you want to verify your download.

Note​

This is a release candidate: feature-complete and tested, but still early. Please report anything odd so we can fix it before 2.0.

Sure, I do want to believe Crystal. But at the same time, that doesn't mean we won't all benefit from some competition. More reason for each modloader to improve if we have several competing ones instead of just a single dominant one. Either way, I did jump the gun a bit it seems, and I'm willing to hear Crystal out on this.

FYI for anyone still thinking Crystal's response disproved anything. From their official TOS plus they only ever talked about KobraFang. They never once responded or explained the Pickysaurus thing. No offense but this just feels like a badly made PR attempt and them scrapegoating KobraFang while ignoring the other screenshots that had nothing to do with Kobra

Could You add a function for mod incompatibility like in Arsenal to show which mods interfere with each other? Also the ability to check for updates for one specific mod instead of all mods though do keep the all mod update function I would like you to just add it to the kebab menu next to the edit button

Look on the right, look for text that says "releases" and click it. Scroll down slowly until you find "assets" and click it, then look for the windows setup (if you use Linux use the appimage if nothing else speaks to you).

Github is normally a lot better with this, normally releases has a big green button but for some reason it doesn't here.

For the sake of pointing out issues with your argument, that part of the TOS is standard for server operation that's end-user facing. To my understanding Crystal hosts a home server (idk if they use a provider for it) for the companion app component and the party component, that clause is there so they can cut off server access to anyone for any reason. It's in any software that has a TOS which also includes access to an external private server, it's to legally protect them from those who abuse the software to hack into their server.

Modloader functionality should not change if you get "banned" from that server, as Crystal has stated and you can audit yourself, the modloader works even when not connected to the internet.

If you're really worried about it, block Arsenal traffic in your firewall or switch modloaders, my assumption is the Nexus integration works through Nexus servers so that should still work. Even then, manual installs will work regardless.
