Pick the option that matches your setup. Through Arsenal (Options A and C) the change is applied when the game closes, so after deploying: start the game, quit normally, start it again. Medic File Mod Merger (Option B) applies it right away.
Option A: on its own (HD2 Arsenal)
For setups without Chef Shared Loader and without other settings-file mods (see Option B). Load order does not matter.
Option B: with other settings-file mods (Medic File Mod Merger)
Tested merged with Shallow Water Diving + High Climb 1.0.3 and Stratagem Balls Stay Put 1.0.4.
Settings-file mods change the game's own settings files (generated_….dl_bin in the game's data/game folder). Two of them changing the same file overwrite each other, so merge them with Medic File Mod Merger. Works with or without Chef Shared Loader.
Option C: with Chef Shared Loader (HD2 Arsenal)
Tested with Chef Shared Loader 1.4.0 and its add-ons.
Same as Option A, but this mod must load before Chef Shared Loader in Arsenal's load order (Chef last). Chef then runs this mod's installer for it. Chef Shared Loader is not required otherwise; this mod does not use it.

Version 1.0.1 · for Helldivers 2 version 7.2.2 as of 29 October 2026
The LIFT-850 Jump Pack recharges faster and launches you quicker and further, with slightly more control in the air.
Modified Stats
- Recharge: 15 s → 10 s
- Launch force: 40 → 110
- Launch duration: 0.5 s → 0.25 s
- Forward share of the launch: 0.4 → 0.35
- Mid-air steering: 4 → 6
These changes result in a jump that gives you...
- More height than vanilla (8.5 m vs. 4.9 m)
- An initial launch more vertical than vanilla (58.2° vs. 50.5°)
- A significantly faster launch than vanilla (13.5 m/s vs. 8.9 m/s) but for a much shorter duration than vanilla (0.25 s vs. 0.50 s).
- A further reach than vanilla (18.8m vs. 11.5 m)
- Slightly more mid-air control than vanilla. Increasing this too much effectively makes you able to completely redirect in mid-air with no velocity loss, turning you into a drone.

Pick the option that matches your setup. Through Arsenal (Options A and C) the change is applied when the game closes, so after deploying: start the game, quit normally, start it again. Medic File Mod Merger (Option B) applies it right away.
Option A: on its own (HD2 Arsenal)
For setups without Chef Shared Loader and without other settings-file mods (see Option B). Load order does not matter.
- Import the zip in Arsenal. Leave both options ticked: Improved LIFT-850 Jump Pack and Uninstall helper.
- Deploy, start the game, then quit the game normally.
- Start the game again: the new Jump Pack is active.
Option B: with other settings-file mods (Medic File Mod Merger)
Tested merged with Shallow Water Diving + High Climb 1.0.3 and Stratagem Balls Stay Put 1.0.4.
Settings-file mods change the game's own settings files (generated_….dl_bin in the game's data/game folder). Two of them changing the same file overwrite each other, so merge them with Medic File Mod Merger. Works with or without Chef Shared Loader.
- With the game closed, add the zip to Medic File Mod Merger together with your other settings-file mods and Apply.
- Do not deploy it in Arsenal (leave it off there). Medic's note "keep it ticked in your mod manager" can be ignored.
Option C: with Chef Shared Loader (HD2 Arsenal)
Tested with Chef Shared Loader 1.4.0 and its add-ons.
Same as Option A, but this mod must load before Chef Shared Loader in Arsenal's load order (Chef last). Chef then runs this mod's installer for it. Chef Shared Loader is not required otherwise; this mod does not use it.
- Import the zip in Arsenal, leave both options ticked, and place it before Chef Shared Loader.
- Deploy, start the game, quit normally, start it again.
Uninstall
- Arsenal (Option A / C): untick Improved LIFT-850 Jump Pack, keep Uninstall helper ticked, Deploy, start the game and quit normally. Then remove the mod.
- Medic File Mod Merger (Option B): remove it from the list and Apply.
Good to know
- Other Jump Pack mods (e.g. Jump Pack Recharge): they change the same values; use only one.
- Multiplayer: not tested yet. These are the game's own settings, so they may only apply when you host.
- Game updates: after an update the mod does nothing until a new version is out (it never touches a game file it does not recognise).
Changelog
- 1.0.1 (29 October 2026): Updated for Helldivers 2 version 7.2.2.
- 1.0 (26 October 2026): first release.
