Armor Workbench 0.15.6
Choose an armor, change its armor rating, add or swap passives, and adjust their values. For example, an armor with Peak Physique can also have Scout, Siege-Ready, Feet First and many others. Use one passive or build a combination.
You can edit individual armors or select multiple armors to apply a build in bulk. Base armor class controls movement and stamina, while Total armor lets you choose your protection separately.
This program should automatically find your Helldivers 2 Steam installation. If it doesn’t, select your game folder through Settings. Close HD2, make your changes, then click Install changes before launching the game. You can close Workbench afterward. This is a file editor, not a live in-game editor.
Some armors share passive data. Editing those effects can also affect other armors that use them. Workbench shows the affected armors. Fully independent passive values are still being researched.
Use Restore backup to undo an installation. To return armor builds to their original settings, use Reset this armor or Reset all armors, then follow the instructions to install the reset. The Default Passives List tab shows each armor’s original passive.
English and Simplified Chinese are available under Settings → Language → 简体中文. Chinese translations use translation tools, so it may not be 100% accurate.
Updating: Saved builds and restore backups now use a persistent data folder. You no longer need to copy ArmorWorkbenchData with every update. If older data isn’t detected, use Settings → Import saved data and select your previous ArmorWorkbenchData folder. Keep your old folder until you’ve confirmed the import worked.
This newest update includes a VERY EXPERIMENTAL Linux branch for those players to try. I can't confirm its reliability so please inform me of any bugs or issues. Windows version is unaffected and separate from the Linux version.
This was vibecoded to get something out of nothing after the recent HD2 update. It’s an experimental public beta, so please share any bugs or issues you find. Thank you and enjoy!
