📋 About This Mod
(12/8/2025)
Check the Version 3. 0. 5 Release sticky comment for more information.
The design of the default map and compass markers in Helldivers 2 are inaccurate and often almost completely obscure what is being marked on the map, making it more difficult to identify the marked terrain, structures and points of interest.
Better Map Markers was created to fix this. It contains a selection of custom-made map markers which were designed to provide clarity and enable accurate marking.
Features List
Map Marker Customisation
Choose from 20 custom-made map markers designed to provide clarity and enable accurate marking.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,441 endorsements and 69k downloads.
- Does exactly what it says: clearer, more precise markers.
- Simple UI mod that won't conflict with most setups.
⚠️ Cons
- No detailed description of what the new markers look like.
- May not be compatible with other UI overhauls that modify map markers.
- Last updated in June 2026, so it's recent but no guarantee of future updates.
For Skyrim players who find the default map markers hard to read or just want a cleaner map interface. If you're a completionist who spends a lot of time on the map, this is a nice quality-of-life upgrade. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic UI.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep track of overwrites.
- If you use other UI mods, check load order to ensure Better Map Markers loads after them.
- Test in-game by opening the map to see the new markers before committing.
