Armor Workbench Offline Editor [English/Chinese] 0.15.6

A Mod for Helldivers 2
Armor Workbench Offline Editor [English/Chinese] akl_mod_preview_image
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!

Can I make it so that each armor keeps its original passive while getting an additional shared passive, instead of wiping all of them and starting from scratch?
Yes, just choose the armor you want to customize and add what you'd like to it. You can keep the original, or you can remove it.

How would this work with Medic File Mod Merger and SHODAN? Would you do your edits, then SHODAN, then Medic? Or some other order?
I'm not sure how that mod merger works, so I can't say for certain. With Shodan, I would do armor first but I believe either way will work. The reason being I know Shodan will ignore customizing your armor passives if they were already edited by a different tool (this one here) and wont let you change them. That said I'm sure it will work in reverse too but to be sure, I'd edit your armor first with this tool then use Shodan for your other equipment you want to change.

Hey, this doesn't seem to be compatible with Linux... You think you could make a version for it? I'd love to use it

So far as I know, the merger takes mods that edit settings, like vaulting, fixing stratagem ball bounce, shallow water diving, etc, and merged them all so they play nice together. I think, in theory, it wouldn't touch anything you didn't put into the merge yourself, so it should work with the armory and Shodan...I suppose I will have to give it a try.

Doesn't work at all on Linux. Seems to have a problem reading or retrieving the files linked through proton, a fix for that or Linux build would be lovely!!

I can try, I have no method of testing it though. I'll see what I can do and deploy it as a separate standalone within this download so it doesn't interfere with the windows version.

Edit: Go ahead and try out the newest update and let me know how it performs, unfortunately I have no method of natively testing it on Linux on my end, so I apologize if there are bugs.

It works in multiplayer, by offline I mean you use it outside of the game, not live within the game. So set up your armors the way you want, install, and then you can close the editor and boot up HD2.

Can I add passives to existing armor in bulk without replacing its original passive?

For example, when I add a passive to the Grenade Armor, if I don’t select its original passive, it won’t have the original +2 Grenades and Explosion Resistance. However, if I add this passive, the other armor I select will also gain +2 Grenades and Explosion Resistance—which isn’t what I want.
