Objective Tracker helps you locate side objectives, enemy installations, and specimen samples across the battlefield. A customizable HUD displays each target’s icon, distance, and compass direction, making it easier to find your next objective.
The list updates as you move and sorts targets by distance. Completed objectives disappear automatically when the game confirms their completion, allowing the next nearest target to take their place.
Every supported target has a distinct icon, with clear directions beside its distance.
See who is carrying important items. Automaton heads, mutated eggs, and mutant larvae display the carrier’s squad tag beneath their name, such as Carried by D1. The label updates when an item is picked up, dropped, or passed to another player. Its distance and direction remain visible while it is being carried.
You can customize the panel through MODS > Objective Tracker:
Press ESC to move the panel by its header or resize it from its edges and corners. Text and icons retain your chosen size while resizing. Smaller panels show fewer rows and shorten long objective names. Your layout is saved between sessions.
The current target catalog includes:
Bingus Shared Loader v15 or later and Mod Options Menu are required. HD2Runtime 0.28.1 is included in the package.
If an objective is missing or remains listed after completion, enable Detailed logging under MODS > Objective Tracker before reproducing the issue. After closing the game, include the following log with your report:
Include the objective name, what happened, and whether you hosted or joined the mission. Copy the log before your next game session, then turn detailed logging off when finished.
