EXOSUIT OVERLORD — Shield & Tesla Warfare System ​

Make sure you have all four required dependencies installed and enabled in your mod manager, as shown in the screenshot: Bingus Shared Loader (BSL), HD2Runtime, HD2 Scanner, and Mod Options Menu. Also, make sure BSL is placed at the very bottom of the load order.

THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF MECHANIZED WARFARE HAS ARRIVED.​

ONE MACHINE. TWO SYSTEMS. UNLIMITED DESTRUCTION.
Why settle for ordinary armor when you can command a walking fortress armed with a 360° energy shield and a devastating Tesla warfare system?
EXOSUIT OVERLORD transforms the exosuits of HELLDIVERS 2 into customizable mechanized war machines, combining powerful defensive technology, electrifying offensive capabilities, advanced tactical HUD monitoring, and unlimited-distance remote control.
Every exosuit can be individually configured. Every system can be independently controlled.
THE ENEMY BROUGHT AN ARMY. YOU BROUGHT THE STORM.
FOR SUPER EARTH! FOR MANAGED DEMOCRACY!

1. 360° ENERGY SHIELD SYSTEM​

A FORTRESS DOES NOT NEED WALLS WHEN IT HAS AN ENERGY SHIELD.
Equip your exosuit with a fully enveloping, 360° energy shield that surrounds the entire machine.
Unlike a directional physical shield, this energy barrier provides protection around the exosuit.

Features​

• 360° Energy Protection: Surrounds the entire exosuit with a spherical energy barrier.
• Exosuit-Sized Shield: The original shield bubble has been reduced in size to better fit the exosuit's body.
• Independent Activation: Manually enable or disable the shield whenever needed.
• Remote Control: Toggle the shield from any distance, even when you are outside the exosuit.
• Delayed Regeneration: Shield regeneration begins only after the shield has gone 5 consecutive seconds without taking damage.
• Limited Full-Break Recovery: After being completely depleted, the shield of each individual exosuit can recover from a full break a maximum of two times.

Shield Recovery Rules​

The shield does not begin regenerating immediately after taking damage.
It must remain undamaged for 5 seconds before regeneration can begin.
Each individual exosuit has a maximum of two recovery opportunities after its shield has been completely broken.
YOUR SHIELD IS POWERFUL — BUT NOT INVINCIBLE.
Manage your defenses wisely. Every recovery matters.

2. TESLA WARFARE SYSTEM​

BECOME THE STORM. DELIVER ELECTRIFIED DEMOCRACY.
Equip your exosuit with the electrical capabilities of a Tesla Tower and transform it into a mobile electrical weapon.

Features​

• Mounted Tesla System: Adds Tesla Tower functionality to the exosuit.
• Electrical Attacks: Electrifies nearby targets while the Tesla system is active.
• Independent Activation: Enable or disable the Tesla system without affecting the energy shield.
• Unlimited-Distance Remote Control: Toggle the Tesla system regardless of your distance from the exosuit.
• Automatic Pilot-Exit Shutdown: The Tesla system automatically turns off when the player exits the exosuit.
• Manual Remote Reactivation: The Tesla system can be reactivated remotely even when the exosuit is unoccupied.
• 

Friendly Fire Warning​

WARNING: ELECTRICITY DOES NOT CARE WHO FIGHTS FOR SUPER EARTH.
The Tesla system can still electrocute players while active.
This includes the operator, nearby teammates, and other friendly players.
The automatic shutdown feature reduces the risk of being electrocuted when exiting the exosuit, but it does not eliminate friendly-fire hazards.
Always exercise caution when manually activating the Tesla system outside the exosuit.
THE STORM OBEYS YOUR COMMANDS — NOT YOUR FRIENDLIES.

3. CUSTOMIZABLE EXOSUIT LOADOUTS​

YOUR EXOSUIT. YOUR LOADOUT. YOUR RULES.
Every exosuit can be configured individually through the in-game Mod Options Menu.

Available Configurations​

SHIELD ONLY
Equip the exosuit with the 360° energy shield system.
Turn your machine into a heavily protected mobile fortress.
TESLA ONLY
Equip the exosuit with the Tesla warfare system.
Turn your machine into a mobile electrical weapon.
SHIELD + TESLA
Equip both systems simultaneously.
Combine all-around protection with devastating electrical capabilities.
STANDARD CONFIGURATION
Disable both optional systems to retain a standard exosuit configuration.

4. CONTROLS & KEYBINDINGS​

Both systems feature independent, customizable controls.

Customizable Controls​

All activation keys can be changed through the in-game Mod Options Menu.
Each exosuit can have its own equipment configuration and control settings.

Unlimited-Distance Remote Control​

Both systems support remote activation and deactivation without distance restrictions.
You do not need to be inside the exosuit to control them.
Even when your exosuit is far away, you can still toggle its shield and Tesla systems.
DISTANCE IS NO LONGER A LIMITATION.

---

5. DEPLOYMENT & AUTOMATIC SAFETY SYSTEM​

POWER IS NOTHING WITHOUT CONTROL.
EXOSUIT OVERLORD includes deployment and safety behavior designed to give players direct control over their equipment.

Initial Deployment​

Whenever an exosuit is called in:

• Energy Shield: OFF
• Tesla System: OFF

Both systems start disabled by default.
After entering the exosuit, the player must manually activate the desired systems using the configured keys.

Exiting the Exosuit​

When the player exits the exosuit:

• The Tesla system automatically shuts down.
• This reduces the risk of the player being electrocuted immediately after exiting.

Remote Reactivation​

After exiting the exosuit, the player can manually reactivate the Tesla system remotely.
The shield system also supports remote toggling.
Both systems can be controlled regardless of distance.

Important Safety Reminder​

The automatic Tesla shutdown does not prevent every possible friendly-fire incident.
If you reactivate the Tesla system while standing near the exosuit, you may still be electrocuted.
CONTROL THE STORM. RESPECT THE STORM.

6. ADVANCED TACTICAL HUD​

KNOW YOUR SHIELD. MONITOR YOUR POWER. DOMINATE THE BATTLEFIELD.
EXOSUIT OVERLORD includes a tactical HUD that displays essential information about your exosuit's shield and Tesla systems.
No more guessing when your shield will regenerate or how much Tesla charge remains.

Energy Shield HUD​

Shield Health
Displays the shield's current health, allowing you to monitor its remaining durability during combat.
Shield Regeneration Countdown
Displays the remaining time before shield regeneration can begin.
The shield must avoid taking damage for 5 consecutive seconds before regeneration starts.
Shield Recovery Counter
Displays the remaining number of full-break shield recoveries available for the current exosuit.
Each individual exosuit can recover from complete shield depletion a maximum of two times.
Shield Repair Timer / Status
Displays the shield repair timing and progress, helping you track the restoration of your defenses.

Tesla System HUD​

Tesla Charging Progress
Displays the current charging progress of the Tesla system.
Monitor the electrical system's charging state and prepare for the next engagement.

Tactical Advantages​

With real-time system information, you can:

• Monitor shield durability during combat.
• Track the 5-second shield regeneration delay.
• Keep track of remaining full-break recovery opportunities.
• Monitor shield repair progress.
• Monitor Tesla charging progress.
• Make better decisions about when to attack, defend, retreat, or reactivate your systems.

EVERY SECOND COUNTS. EVERY RECOVERY MATTERS. EVERY SPARK SERVES DEMOCRACY.
