LEGENDS
Your Helldivers are no longer expendable. Every Diver has a legacy.
Your Helldivers are no longer expendable. Every Diver has a legacy.
LEGENDS turns your Helldivers into a roster of named Divers with careers, crews and permanent consequences. Every mission is logged. Every death counts. The best of them end up in the Hall of Legends.
Press F1 on your ship to open the LEGENDS menu.
EVERY DIVER IS SOMEONE
- Named Divers with a nationality, age, gender and voice.
- A full Dossier for each: bio, career record, mission history and service highlights.
- Gear Profiles: every Diver keeps their own armor, helmet and cape.
- Your first launch creates your Founding Helldiver and First Crew, then shows you around.
DEATH IS PERMANENT
- A Diver Killed in Action stays dead. Fail to extract and they're Missing in Action.
- Bury them, cremate them, or honor them in the Hall of Legends.
BUILD YOUR CREWS
- Run up to 4 Crews. Recruit, transfer and set the Reinforcement Order.
- Founders carry a Gold Flag for good; Commanders lead the Crew.
- Crew Lock holds a Crew back from reinforcements.
- Out of Divers? An Emergency Reserve recruit steps in.
CAREERS AND THE COMBAT RECORD
- Deployments, missions survived, kills, objectives, samples, field time and favorite front.
- Complete a Tour of Duty to mark your veterans.
- Every mission in your Combat Record: planet, faction, difficulty, outcome and the fate of every Diver, with an after-action report.
CRYOSLEEP AND THE HALL OF LEGENDS
- Retire veterans to Cryosleep, or thaw them for one more fight.
- Retire a whole veteran crew as a Legendary Crew.
THE BLACK MARKET
- Unsanctioned Field Modifications, paid for in Contraband taken from Mega Nests and Automaton Fortresses.
- Experimental Optical Camouflage: crouch, dive or go prone in Reduced Signature armor to vanish (only you see it).
- Democracy-Grade Leg Servos: walk while firing the M-1000 Maxigun
IN THE FIELD
- Your Active Diver's name on the ship, on the map and in missions.
- F1 in a mission opens the Field Roster: your crew and who drops next.
- Crew Dispatches: a live news feed of your Crews.
PLAYS IN ANY LOBBY
- Fully compatible with public lobbies. LEGENDS runs on your PC only: your squadmates don't need the mod.
- Quickplay, friends or strangers: your crews and your Combat Record follow you into every drop.
BUILT TO LAST

- LEGENDS goes first on your load order
INSTALL

I can't guarantee compatibility with other mods
For example, LEGENDS has a built in 'Cape Hider' that's optional when customizing your Diver, so if you have a mod that does the same it may conflict.

YOUR SAVE
LEGENDS keeps its own save (Legends.json) and never touches your game save. It saves automatically, keeps backups, and updates keep your career. LEGENDS is client-side: your squadmates don't need the mod.
*set Enable Legends: to OFF in the Mod Options area of the Settings Menu to stop tracking and preserve your Divers.
FOUND A BUG?
Send Legends.log with your report. It's in:

CREDITS
Everyone who made LEGENDS possible is listed on the CREDITS page inside the LEGENDS menu.
Good to know:
- Right after a mission, Diver portraits take about 45 seconds to come back. That's deliberate.
- F1 doesn't open while one of the game's own screens is open (Armory, terminals, the ESC menu). Close it, then press F1.
- A red TRACKING PAUSED notice means a game update stopped LEGENDS from verifying deaths and extractions. Your career is safe; tracking returns with a LEGENDS update.
Known issues
- Optical Camouflage: a few weapon parts stay visible while cloaked (for example the LAS-12 Sai's barrel tip and heatsink, some sights and foregrips). Cosmetic, and only you see it; being fixed.
