This mod is an aggregation of all my reticles into a single library. Due to how HD2 handles some things, it's currently impossible to change the reticle/crosshair for a single weapon and not affect every other that call on the same internal files. So, using the HD2 Mod Manager's advanced options/suboptions feature, the mod allows you to pick what you want within each groups easily
Currently, there are three four five six seven nine ten weapon groups supported. If you have suggestions, I'll be happy to provide (allowing for good sense). I'm pretty much done with this mod, and the only thing I'll really be doing is to keep it compatible with the base game whenever AH decided to screw with us. Unless you have a very good idea that I'd also find interesting.
HOW TO USE:
Using the Helldivers2 Mod Manager, add the mod like you would any other. Next, hit the EDIT button relative to this mod and you should have a new window pop up. In there, you can select what reticles you want. You can also disable groups entirely.
I do not directly support the Arsenal mod manager, and there is some weirdness/incompatibility. You are FREE to rebundle the mod files for Arsenal to make it work, however that'd work, because I don't care to learn how and why Arsenal has issues with this mod.
UPDATING:
To prevent ANY sort of funny business between versions and to make sure HD2MM plays nice, I recommend sanitizing the mod files within the HD2MM install directory between versions.
TO DO LIST:
-Fulfilling requests.
A compact visual mod that adds a library of reticle options for weapon groups in the game. With 349 endorsements and 13,581 downloads, it's a community favorite for players who want to customize their aiming experience. Last updated April 2026, it remains a relevant choice for visual tweaks.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 349 endorsements and over 13k downloads.
- Gives you a bunch of reticle choices per weapon type, so you can mix and match.
- Still being updated, so it's not abandoned.
⚠️ Cons
- It's purely cosmetic—no gameplay changes, so if you want functional tweaks, look elsewhere.
- The description is vague on exactly how many reticles or which weapons are covered.
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter the same reticle files.
For players who want to personalize their aiming reticles without overhauling the game. If you're into fine-tuning your HUD and visual feedback, this is a nice pick. Skip if you're after gameplay-altering mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager for installation, but if it's just file drops, place them in the correct folder.
- Since it's a visual mod, you can preview reticles in-game to see which ones suit your playstyle.
- If you use other reticle mods, make sure to load this one last to avoid conflicts.
