Unlocks 4 hidden stratagems that are complete in the game files but not available in the game, each brought along by a stratagem you already pick.
The 4 hidden stratagems
- B-1 Supply Pack also gives you the Medic Backpack: a supply backpack that hands out stims. 480 s cooldown, unlimited - the same as the B-1 Supply Pack - with its own icon.
- Resupply also gives you the Health Pack Rack: a resupply rack whose packs refill your stims. 300 s cooldown, unlimited (stock).
- Orbital Smoke Strike also gives you the Orbital Walking Barrage Smoke: smoke shells walking away from the beacon. 120 s cooldown, unlimited (stock).
- M-103 Supply FRV also gives you the M-104 Incinerator FRV: the flamethrower FRV. 480 s cooldown, unlimited (stock).
How it works
- It uses the game's own "extra stratagem" link - the one that gives every Eagle its Eagle Rearm. Pick the Supply Pack, Resupply, Orbital Smoke Strike or M-103 as usual and the hidden one is in your stratagem list too, with its own input code. So yes, you get an extra stratagem for each of those picks.
- Each one is called through its own stratagem, so your teammates see the real thing.
- The Medic Backpack gets its own icon and the B-1 Supply Pack's cooldown (480 s, unlimited); in the game files it is a one-shot reward entry without an icon.
- Tested solo and in multiplayer.
Install (HD2 Mod Manager or HD2 Arsenal)
- Add the zip to the mod manager. Both options start ticked - leave them.
- Deploy.
- Launch the game, wait for the main menu, then exit the game normally (Esc > Quit). The file is swapped on exit.
- Launch again. The mod is now active.
Uninstall
- Untick Medic Divers, keep Uninstall helper ticked, and deploy.
- Launch the game and exit normally. The original file is put back.
- Disable or remove the mod.
Updating from 1.0.x
1.0.x was a Lua mod that needed the Bingus Shared Loader, which stopped working with the October 20 update. Remove it from your mod manager and add 2.0.0 as a new mod.
Requirements and compatibility
- A mod manager (HD2 Mod Manager or HD2 Arsenal), or Medic File Mod Merger.
- Made for the current game version (October 22 hotfix, build 26088801). After a game update it changes nothing until this mod is updated.
- Changes data/game/generated_stratagem_settings.dl_bin. Other mods that replace that file (for example Stratagem Balls Stay Put) can't be active at the same time through the mod manager - use Medic File Mod Merger to combine them. The installer otherwise changes nothing and says so in HD2FileMods.log in the game folder.
Good to know
- These stratagems are not sold anywhere today. If any of them is released as paid content, this mod will be updated to remove it.
