HD2 HUD Plus

HD2 HUD+ 0. 1. 12

See your weapon's status beside the crosshair without looking away from your target.

What you see

• []Remaining rounds and reserves beside the crosshair, with your weapon's own ammo icon[/]

  []A reload indicator that fills while you reload[/]

  []A reload stage icon: tactical reload, empty magazine or chambering a round for magazine weapons, a single round for weapons loaded round by round, and the weapon's ammo icon while a heat sink is replaced[/]

  []A charge indicator for weapons that charge before firing[/]

  []Your weapon's fire mode, its function icons and the scope zoom it is set to[/]

  []A dot and ring for weapons the game leaves without a third-person crosshair[/]

  []Backpack ammo and status indicators for supported backpacks[/]

  []Health and stamina indicators[/]

  []Your stim and throwable counts under the stamina bar, with the icon of the throwable you brought[/]

  []Your squad's boosters beside the squad list, yours at the bottom - a skull when a player is dead, or what they pinged[/]

  []The stratagems a player has called, squad-wide ones such as Resupply included, stacked to the right of their squad row in the order they called them: each one fills up while it is on its way in and leaves the row when the game ends that call, so the rest shift along[/]

  []The stratagems you chose, on their own row in the order you chose them: each one drains while it is on the way in, then fills back up while it cools down, with the seconds left shown on it as it comes back in Integrated, and one with no uses left marked as unavailable[/]

  Pick your layout

  One choice, set in your mod manager. Integrated is the default.

  If you pick Integrated, setting the game's own HUD options to `Map only` is strongly recommended - that is the screen this layout is built around.

  Integrated - Rings - Simple. Same weapon, same spot.

  • []Integrated - Under the crosshair: a charge, reload, heat or rounds arc, ammo, reserve ammo, health/stamina bars, stims, throwables, backpack. Best with game HUD on Map only.[/]

    []Rings - A ring by the crosshair shows charge, reload, heat or rounds; another shows a backpack's own resource. Plus ammo, reserve ammo and weapon setting icons.[/]

    []Simple - Weapon setting icons only - fire mode, function, scope zoom - beside the game's weapon panel. Fixed brightness, and they hide when that panel hides.[/]

    Other options

    • []Core - Required for the HUD to work. Keep this enabled and use the options below to choose what is displayed.[/]

      []Show when idle - pick one:

      []Faint (default) - Dims the crosshair HUD to 30% brightness when idle. Does not affect Simple or squad icons.[/]

      []Full brightness - Keeps the crosshair HUD at full brightness when idle. Does not affect Simple or squad icons.[/]

    [/]

    []Squad - Each squad row shows that player's booster, yours last - a skull when dead or what they pinged. Stratagems they call stack along the row. All hide with it.[/]

    []Game crosshair - Draws the game's dot and ring for weapons with no third-person crosshair. Hidden in first person. Ignores the game HUD setting for now; that link comes later.[/]

    []Stratagems - The stratagems you chose, on a row at the bottom center: each drains on the way in, fills back as it cools, flat when you have no uses left.[/]

    Add-ons

    HD2 HUD+ takes add-ons - small separate patches that draw their own display on top of the HUD. An add-on sits beside the mod and changes nothing about it, and with none installed the HUD looks exactly as it does here. My Ko-fi page has the ones that are out - fun, experimental and genuinely useful features:
