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

Hi, how safe is this? Is it ban-free, or have people never been banned for this? 😳
I used it for 6 hours today, no problem. Trust what you wanna trust, dont trust what ya dont.

Though this is a mesh swap and not a lua, so even if arrowhead was banning modders (they literally cant as far as I know with their current systems, though that doesnt mean systems cant change in updates) this would be minimal priority compared to stuff like 1000kg or maxigun mods or ones that add in unreleased stratagems.

Pls note this is information from a person who is NOT an expert and advises you to both trust your gut and research more than a single comment from an internet stranger. Hope you have a wonderful day :D

Basically what Storm Vortex said ^

TLDR Arrowhead does not have the tools to ban anyone atm, their anti cheat does nothing. So long you don't go bragging you're using arrow mod to random helldivers, you should be aite, as all mods, be discreet about it!

Until Easy Anti Cheat comes out probably next major update (Oct-Dec) you can then expect all mods to die, including cosmetic model swaps like this one.

found a crash when using just this mod, only tested with illuminate but when shooting their purple exploding barrels then immediately picking up a nearby sample causes a full crash most times.

default settings with high arrows enabled for all.

using arsenal.

other notes: potential crashes too such as illuminate ships being destroyed with the player underneath causes a crash {had the orbital laser destroy it}- occurred once, interacting with SAM site terminal caused a crash once, returning to destroyer caused a crash once. multiple occurrences of crashing due to samples (common most notably, but had other crashes from rare samples, could effect other pickups). orbital laser might have also seen a crash occur too (unknown reason).

simply blowing up the purple illuminate barrels might also be another crash cause.

seems more stable with low arrow settings enabled.

Hey! Uploaded Two Optional Mod zips.
One is with made with repatcher as V4 Beta
The other Fancy_Arrows_Squid_Front_Compatibility_Test.

Squid Front Test basically turns high arrows into low arrows, let me know if crashes persist so we can rule out high arrows being the issue! I'll be dropping in to test myself too.
