📋 About This Mod

Since old mod got abandoned I reached to original creator Alpn4 and got full permission to continue his work. I thank him for being so kind and giving me permission, I will support this for as long as I can. Remember I'm sharing this voluntarily because of I want to, I'm not a proffesional modder so dont ask constantly to fix things... I know just enough to maintain this.

Alright. What this thing is exactly?

This "mod" is a toggle group list (.ini file, a.k.a config) for ReShade's addon (ShaderToggler), containing a lot of groups used for hiding unnecessary particles/decals/sometimes even models. (Features optional stuff since version 1. 2!)

This preset boosts in-game clarity and also boosts your fps (Boost a lot depends on a hardware (I believe it usually helps when you have GPU bottleneck issue), so sure try it if you're in deep need of FPS and struggling on some old toaster)

Known Issues

- If you have Volumetric Fog Reducer mod installed and your ingame Volumetric Fog Quality setting is lower than Medium acid gas cloud can turn invisible completely.

How do i install this?

1) Download Reshade WITH FULL ADD-ON SUPPORT

2) Select Helldivers2.exe in "Select a game or application"

3) Choose dx10/11/12 in selecting API

4) Choose whatever you want in effects list (It's not imprortant, you can uncheck everything)

5) You don't need to select any plugins in plugins tab just press next and finish the installation

6) After you done installing ReShade, drop everything in archive into Helldivers2/bin (browse local files in steam to easily find it)

How to use?

- F1 is the default activation key.

- If you wanna change shortkeys you can do it by pressing Home > Add-ons > Shader Toggler > List of Toggle Groups > Press "Edit" buttons next to the settings you want, change to shortkey you want, press ok (otherwise it wont save) > after you done editing press "Save all Toggle Groups" on very bottom and restart your game.

- WARNING: If the shortkey is not F1 by default those settings are for special occasions (like photomode, removing automaton bullets, destroyer itself for space screenshots, etc) It's not gonna give you any advantage in normal gameplay.

Q- Will this be updated in future?

A- Yes. I will try to support it as long as I can. At least if devs won't decide to implement something that blocks reshade with addon support

Q- Can i get banned for using this?

A- No. If Arrowhead announces they will ban Reshade stuff I'll remove this mod and stop using it myself too. but I'm using it since begining and I'm ban-free.

Q- When mod is active it removes
