HD2 Preset Helper

Save and apply Stratagem and  Booster presets directly from the loadout screen.

By default, hold Ctrl + Shift to show the preset overlay, then tap press  F7–F12 to use preset slots 1–6,  then release all keys.

Stratagem icon replacement mods are not currently supported. Replacing the original Stratagem icons will prevent the tool from recognizing them correctly.

I'm currently looking into ways to support modified icons.The default keys can be changed in data/config.toml if they conflict with another application or system shortcut.

Quick Start

• []Extract the ZIP to a separate folder and run HD2PresetHelper.exe.[/]

  []Open the loadout home screen and select all four Stratagems and, optionally, a Booster.[/]

  []Hold Ctrl + Shift to show the preset overlay.[/]

  []While holding them, tap  F7–F12 and release all keys. The program then saves the current loadout to the corresponding preset slot.[/]

  []Later, open the loadout screen with all four Stratagem slots empty and repeat the same key combination to apply that preset.[/]

HD2 Preset Helper runs in the system tray. Right-click the tray icon and select Exit to close it.

Preset behavior

• []All four Stratagem slots filled: saves or overwrites the selected preset.[/]

  []All four Stratagem slots empty: applies the selected preset.[/]

  []Partially filled: no action is performed.[/]

The Booster is optional and is saved together with the four Stratagems.

Important: Display resolution

Windowed, Borderless Window and Fullscreen modes are supported.

When using Borderless Window or Fullscreen, the in-game resolution must match the current Windows desktop resolution of the display running the game.

Compatibility

• []Windows 10 version 1903 (build 18362) or later, or Windows 11.[/]

  []Tested at common resolutions from 720p to 2160p.[/]

  []Several non-16:9 aspect ratios have also been tested.[/]

  []Tested with Windows HDR enabled using the default in-game UI brightness.[/]

Unusual aspect ratios, custom display scaling and non-default HDR UI brightness settings have not been fully tested.

Configuration

The application creates a data folder beside the executable.

[]data/config.toml — hotkeys, overlay settings and optional behavior.[/]

[]data/presets.json — saved presets.[/]

[*]data/app.log —
