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. Clips and Screenshots are from the original mod uploader. (This mod will not be posted on any other platform. cause... KARENS!!!!)

Updated for Patch 7.1.1


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




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

Interesting.. How about verifying files, trying mod again with high. If not, delete from library, reinstall and try launching again with high?

If that don't work. Welp. I could try releasing another repatch for V4 if none of the above fixed the issue. I'm working on a remedy for Bug Samples black arrow artifacts atm, slow progress u-u
Sorry you're experiencing problems, user ;n;

OKAY. So apparently the black arrows from demolished common samples are a result of RESHADE! Took many tests. So long you don't run a specific reshade toggler of hiding ship banners for example, it wont make your common sample turn black.
As for black screen, I've not a clue what's causing that atm for some users. seems like a rare case. Never experienced it miself yet.

Will this mod risk my account being banned?
Negative, this mod isn't a LUA script. It's purely Model/Mesh swap client side. So long you don't brag about it with random players you should be good! Karens exist!

A notice for LUA users, beware of a future major update with Easy Anti Cheat potentially being introduced. I can feel it in my robotic servos that they're gonna end LUA modding as we know it soon. Be prepared to purge those mods pre-emptively on october or december major updates. As for modding like this one? I'm uncertain. They might still allow cosmetic mods through their EAC filter.

when EAC comes... no mods will get through, not even cosmetic mods; its why games like Elden Ring, Halo MCC, etc.... needs to have EAC disabled to play modded things like seamless co-op and cursed halo, with them both coming with their respective "play without anti-cheat" options

AH would probably need to outsource again if they wanted to switch to EAC, more money lost not making warbonds, and probably outsourcing to Nixxes again (Nixxes be responsible for the downsize patch and the "performance" patch that added DLSS and upscaling) and even then, just imagine the player base crashing out

I recently attempted to play helldivers 2 with this mod but when i attempted to drop in, the game crashed and would not close and it chugged my system a bit, mind you none of the mods i had replaced the models the arrows use for referring to the items in game.
