SHODAN Stat Editor

Change the stats of weapons, throwables, stratagems, mechas, boosters, attachments, armor passives and your helldiver in Helldivers 2, and transmog armor. The Enemy Editor changes every enemy, your SEAF allies and how they spawn, and keeps custom difficulties as presets. SHODAN Stat Editor Offline (SSEO) is a Windows program: pick a weapon, change its numbers, press Install into the game, and play. It writes your values into the game's own data files, so no mod loader is needed and the game does not have to run while you edit. Keep setups as presets: 5 per weapon, and up to 50 named ones for everything you have changed. English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, Spanish (Latin America) and Portuguese (Brazil), in one program.

Download the latest release · Windows · No mod loader needed

Since game build 25988413 the in-game panel (v2.5.0 and earlier, run by Bingus Shared Loader) no longer works; SSEO replaces it. See In-game version.

SHODAN Stat Editor Offline

What you can change

Weapons: every primary, secondary and support weapon

Section	Stats
Damage	Damage, durable damage, fire rate, armor penetration, demolition force, stagger force, push force
Projectile	Projectiles per shot, velocity, drag factor, penetration slowdown
Explosion	Inner, outer and shockwave radius of the blast; the Breaching Hammer's explosion also has its full damage set
Arc	Range, chain length, chain split
Burning / Gas	How much fire or gas each hit applies; burn / gas damage, armor penetration and duration
Ammo	Infinite ammo switch; magazine size, starting magazines, magazines from supply, max spare magazines, reload time, rounds per reload and reload allowed below (clip weapons, in-game version only)
Handling	Recoil, spread, sway, ergonomics, aim zoom on guns with built-in sights, holster position on the back or hip
Spray	Flamethrowers' warm-up, pilot light, hit radius, ammo per puff and setting off mines
Lock-on	Lock-on range of the guns that lock on
Melee	Bayonet damage, armor penetration, stagger and push
Heat	Overheat threshold, heat per shot / per second, cool-down time, heatsinks
Loadout	Slot: list a primary weapon among the secondaries, or a secondary among the primaries
Projectile swap	The projectile the weapon fires: pick another weapon's (by name, or type its id)
Grenade swap	In-game version only: fire a throwable grenade, Dynamite or a throwable mine from a grenade launcher or pistol, the One-Two's launcher or the Grenadier Battlement (solo missions)

Burning and gas are shared. "Burning applied per hit" belongs to the weapon; the Burning (or Gas) section below it is the effect itself, shared by every source of it in the game, enemies' fire included. To make one weapon burn harder, raise its own values.

Cool-down time is shown in seconds: how long a full heat bar takes to cool to zero. Setting it sets the cooling rate, so raising the overheat threshold also lengthens it. The Quasar Cannon's recharge is its "cool-down time after overheat".

Grenade swap (in-game version only): pick the grenade by name with - / +; 0 is the launcher's own round. The grenade's assets load first, so the choice applies a second or two later. Ammo, fire rate and handling stay the launcher's; edit the grenade itself on the Throwables tab. A grenade choice takes priority over Projectile swap.

Throwables: every grenade, knife and throwable mine, and the shield, on the Throwables tab

Section	Stats
Throwable	Starting count, max carried, from supply, max throw distance, fuse time (timed ones)
Explosion	The full damage set above, inner / outer / shockwave radius, and the burning or gas it applies
Shrapnel	Pieces, their damage and velocity; the G-7 Pineapple's bomblets and their explosion
Arc / Damage	The G-31 Arc's arc (range, chain length, split, damage); the K-2 Throwing Knife's hit

Stratagems

Stratagem	Stats
All	Cooldown, uses where limited, and the call-in code (record a new one with the arrow keys or WASD)
Hellpods	Items per drop: one pod can drop two weapons or packs at once
Eagles	Uses per rearm, Eagle rearm time, bomb pattern; time between bombs (bombers), fire duration (Strafing Run, 110mm Rocket Pods), run length
Orbital and Eagle strikes	For every projectile and blast they use: velocity, inner / outer / shockwave radius, and the full damage set above
Orbital barrages and strikes	Salvos, shells per salvo, time between shells, time between salvos, spread area, barrage delay, drift; the Walking Barrage's walking speed
Orbital Laser	Duration, tracking speed, search radius, damage tick
Guard Dogs	The drone's health, spotting range and target search interval, and the gun it carries, stat for stat like a weapon
Sentries and emplacements	Cooldown, health, spotting range, target search interval, turret turn speed, how far the turret can turn up, down, left and right, and their weapon stat for stat (the Tesla Tower's arc included)
Anti-Personnel, Anti-Tank, Gas and Incendiary Minefields	Panels and mines per panel, arming time, throw velocity and spread; the mines' trigger and chain reaction delays, their explosion's damage and radii
LIFT-850 Jump Pack, LIFT-860 Hover Pack	Recharge time; Jump Pack: launch force and duration, forward share of the launch, boost after the launch, mid-air steering; Hover Pack: hover time, hover speed, climb speed, acceleration and time limit
LIFT-182 Warp Pack	Warp distance, reach up / down, heat per warp, cooling, safe and unsafe heat, the damage an unsafe warp does to you and its explosion
Supply Pack, Portable Hellbomb, Guard Dogs; the ammo backpacks of the Autocannon, Recoilless Rifle, Spear, W.A.S.P., Airburst, Maxigun, Cremator and Belt-Fed GL	Backpack charges: capacity, at the start, from resupply

Mechas: the exosuits, FRVs and tanks, on the Mechas tab

Mecha	Stats
Every exosuit, FRV and tank	Cooldown, health and armor; the health and armor of every body part (legs, cockpit, tracks, doors, ...)
Their weapons	Each an entry of its own, stat for stat like a weapon
Exosuits	Walk, turn, stomp, get in and out, drop landing and stagger recovery speed (one value for all four)
FRVs and tanks	Handling: weight, center of mass height, engine torque, top engine speed, gears, front and rear brake strength; the wheels' grip, size, spring stiffness, damping and suspension travel

Body parts whose names aren't known show as "Part N". The Breacher's left arm is a shield whose hit is an ability, not a weapon stat, so it has no damage to change.

Boosters: the boosters whose values are in the game's data files, on the Boosters tab

Booster	Stats
Experimental Infusion	Effect duration, movement speed and damage taken
Firebomb Hellpods, Stun Pods	The blast every hellpod sets off: damage, radii and its burn or stun
Concealed Insertion	Smoke radius
Dead Sprint	Health drain
Armed Resupply Pods	The resupply pod's turret, stat for stat like a weapon
Surplus EAT Allocation	Uses of the extra EAT

Attachments: optics, underbarrels, muzzles and ammunition types, on the Attachments tab

Attachment	Stats
Optics, underbarrels, muzzles (weapons' own Custom muzzle brakes included), shotgun chokes	Ergonomics bonus, and where the attachment has them: sway, recoil, climb and spread multipliers; an optic's zoom levels and zeroing distances
Ammunition types (alternate loads included), by their names in game	Recoil and spread multipliers

An attachment's values apply to every weapon fitted with it (an ammunition type's, to every weapon loaded with it).

Armor passives: every one, on the Armors tab

Passive	Stats
Every armor passive	Every value it has: damage taken from explosions, fire, gas, arc, impacts and to the chest; extra stims and throwables; stim duration; reload speeds; ammo capacity; throw range; melee damage; limb health; noise and detection range; armor rating and ergonomics bonuses; and the weapon stat values some passives carry

Multipliers show as the game stores them: 1 is no change, 0.5 damage taken is 50% resistance, 1.3 reload speed is 30% faster. A passive's values apply to every armor that has it.

Transmog

Give any armor up to 14 passives, or none, so you can wear the look you want with the passives you want. Every armor has its own page on the Armors tab:

+ Add passive picks one from a list; Remove takes it off; Open goes to its page.
It changes only that armor, and every armor set with that name.
A passive brings every effect it has (Engineering Kit: its grenades and its recoil reduction), at the values set on its own page. The passive pages are below the armors.
With several passives the armory shows the first one's name and at most 3 effects. All of them apply. Two passives with the same effect count it once.
Reset armor puts its passive, name and description back to the game's.

Armor weight: on the Armors tab, make any armor light, medium or heavy. Speed and stamina follow the weight you pick.

Helldiver: first on the Armors tab: health, each body part's health, movement speeds and stamina, melee and bayonet strikes, what a hit to the head costs, the sway of every weapon at once, and suppression: how close enemy fire must pass to shake your aim. It changes every helldiver in your game: restore the game's files before joining other players' lobbies.

Explosions and records

Each shot's Impact explosion and Expiry explosion can be any explosion of the game, or none (0), with its Blast proximity (a flak fuse) and Blast delay; each explosion's Shrapnel can be any projectile. These rows are at the bottom of a weapon page.
The Records tab lists every projectile, explosion and status record of the game, named after the game's rounds and the weapons using them. The explosion rows on a weapon page stay its own explosion's: edit a newly chosen one here.

Enemy Editor

Make your own difficulty. Click SHODAN Enemy Editor at the top left: the window turns red and edits the enemies instead; SHODAN Stat Editor switches back. One Install puts the changes of both editors in the game. Its tabs are Terminids, Automatons, Illuminate, SEAF and Spawning.

Page	Stats
Every enemy	Health, armor, durable ratio, explosive damage taken, bleed-out health and regeneration; each body part's health, armor and bleed-out, and whether destroying it kills the enemy
Behavior	Animation speed, with attacks and stagger recovery each on their own (faster attack animations make attacks come out sooner); movement speed for each behaviour, from patrolling to charging; which side it fights for; size, sight range and cone, hearing, how long it keeps tracking you after losing sight, stagger resistance, stun and gas resistance, and the fire, acid, electric and gas damage it takes
Suppression	How hard your fire throws off its aim, how long its aim takes to steady, and how close your shots must land
Attacks	Each melee attack's damage, armor penetration, stagger and push; the explosion it sets off when it dies
Enemy weapons	Each gun listed under its enemy, stat for stat like a weapon: damage, armor penetration, explosion, projectile speed, fire rate, magazine and spread
Shields and jamming	Shield capacity and recharge; the jamming radius of Stratagem Jammers, Command Bunkers and AA Emplacements; the scrambling radius of Cognitive Disruptors; the Leviathan's flight height; the Warp Ship, Warp Gateway and Infested Tower, and how much force destroys a structure
SEAF	Every SEAF soldier kind, stat for stat like an enemy, with its weapons; the weapons each kind carries, from the ones the game has for SEAF
All Terminids, All Automatons, All Illuminate, All SEAF	One row for the whole faction: health, armor, damage, movement speed, sight, weapon spread, suppression, stagger resistance, stun and gas resistance, fire damage taken
Spawning	Per faction: reinforcement size and frequency, or none at all; the cap on enemies at once; patrol frequency and patrols at once; modifier patrols; outpost garrison size; Fabricator and bug hole output
All factions	The lowest patrol and reinforcement rates the game allows, and SEAF reinforcement and wave cooldowns

Custom difficulties. The Enemy Editor's Presets hold only enemy and spawning values, apart from the Stat Editor's: loading a difficulty leaves your weapons as they are, and loading a weapon setup leaves the enemies. It comes with Default (the game's own values), Horde, Glass Cannon and Elite; change them, delete them or add your own. They are saved as enemy_preset_01.txt … next to config.txt, to share like full presets. Restore built-in presets in Settings puts the four back as they came.

A faction row leaves alone every enemy you have changed by hand, so a difficulty can raise a whole faction and still tune single enemies.
Some values are shared: a melee attack, gun or death explosion used by several enemies changes for all of them.
Spawn values are multipliers of the game's own (1 is no change). A very high enemy cap can make the game stutter or crash.

Install

Download SHODAN-Stat-Editor-Offline-v<version>.zip from the releases page and unzip it anywhere (keep the files together).
Close Helldivers 2 and start SHODAN Stat Editor Offline.exe. It finds the game through Steam; if it cannot, write your Helldivers 2 folder's path into %LOCALAPPDATA%\SHODAN\StatEditor\game folder.txt and start it again.
Change values, press Install into the game, then start the game.

Restore the game's files puts the files back as they were before SSEO (the game's own, or another mod's); your values stay saved, and Install puts them in again. After a game update or Steam's "Verify integrity of game files" the game's own files are back: start SSEO and press Install again.

Updates. From v3.1.0 SSEO asks GitHub for its latest release at start. When there is a newer one, Update to v… appears at the top right: one click downloads it, swaps the new files in and restarts. Your values, presets and the game's originals stay as they are. (v3.0.0 has no updater: download the latest release once by hand.)

Windows SmartScreen or an antivirus may warn about the program the first time (it is not signed).

Use

The window is the panel: click, or use the keys. Drag its edges to resize it; it keeps its shape and remembers its size.

Key	Action
Up / Down	Choose a stat
Left / Right	Change it (hold Shift for bigger steps)
Enter, or click a value	Type the value (Enter sets it, Esc cancels)
PgUp / PgDn	Previous / next weapon
Ctrl+F	Search (or click the box under the list)
Del	Reset the stat to the game's value
Ctrl+1–5 / Ctrl+Shift+1–5	Load / save a weapon preset

Typing values. Click a number (or press Enter on a stat) and type: digits, and "." or "," for decimals. Enter sets it, Esc cancels, and clicking elsewhere also sets it. A value outside what the stat can take is set to the nearest allowed one, and the panel says so.

Every change is saved to

%LOCALAPPDATA%\SHODAN\StatEditor\config.txt

with your presets. The game gets them when you press Install into the game (with the game closed: it reads its files when it starts). The bar at the bottom says whether your values are in the game.

Names and descriptions. Weapons, throwables, stratagems, armors, helmets, capes, passives, attachments and boosters have Name and Description boxes at the bottom of their pages, and each passive on an armor's page has a text box of its own. Click one, type, and press Enter; R puts the game's own text back. Press Shift+Enter in a description for a new line, twice for a blank line between paragraphs. In passive text, #BONUS shows the passive's value and each paragraph keeps its own. Install puts your text in the game, in every language.

Settings

The Settings button at the bottom right opens its options:

Language: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, Spanish (Latin America) or Portuguese (Brazil).
Apply my changes: turn it off (then Install) to play with the game's own values; your changes are kept and come back when you turn it on.
Remember last tab and weapon.
Updates: Ask (the Update button; the default) or Automatic (updates at start without asking).
Update channel: Releases (tested versions; the default) or Every commit: the Development build, built automatically from every change pushed to this repository, before it is tested. It may break; switch back to Releases to get the next tested version.
Tabs shown: hide the tabs you do not use (their items leave the search too).
Several vehicles of a kind: off by default; on, a loadout can take more than one exosuit, FRV or tank.
Sniper crosshair in third person: off by default; on, sniper rifles show a crosshair when you aim in third person.
Reset all values: every change of the current setup back to the game's values (asks "Sure?" first; click again to confirm).
Restore built-in presets: puts the Enemy Editor's built-in presets back as they came; your own presets stay.

The page also has the version, a link to this page and Logs and Presets, which opens the %LOCALAPPDATA%\SHODAN\StatEditor folder.

Search

Click the box under the weapon list (or press Ctrl+F) and type: the list shows the weapons and stratagems of every tab whose name holds all the words typed ("orb las" finds the Orbital Laser). On the Records tab it searches the records. The * button next to the box lists only what you have changed, from every tab. Enter keeps the results; Esc or X clears the search.

Presets

Weapon presets. Every weapon and stratagem has 5. Use the PRESETS strip under its stats: pick a number, then Save (its current values), Load or Clear. Numbers in gold hold a preset. Loading one sets the weapon exactly as saved; anything the preset doesn't name goes back to the game's value.

Full presets. Up to 50, under the Presets button (left of Settings), each with a name you choose and every change you have made.

+ New preset saves your current changes as one, then you type its name (Enter keeps it, Esc cancels).
Load replaces all current changes with the preset. Save current changes here, Rename and Delete work on the chosen one; overwriting and deleting ask twice.
Keyboard there: Up/Down choose, Enter loads, Insert makes a new one, Shift+Insert saves into the chosen one, F2 renames, Del deletes.

Presets are saved next to config.txt, as weapon_presets.txt and preset_01.txt … preset_50.txt. A full preset file can be copied into another player's StatEditor folder to share the whole setup.

Good to know

Shared values. Some weapons fire the same projectile or share its damage values (for example the Liberator, Liberator Carbine, StA-52 and Stalwart). The panel names the weapons that change along with the one you edit.
Projectile swap. A weapon firing another weapon's projectile deals that projectile's damage and flies like it; fire rate, ammo and handling stay its own. To tune those shots, edit the other weapon's values (they change for both).
Variants. Some weapons exist more than once in the game's data (a mounted copy, an underbarrel attachment). The list labels each one, and the panel says which copy you are editing.
Barrages can use different shells for different rounds; the section names say which rounds a value belongs to. Long lists scroll: Up/Down follow the chosen stat, or use the buttons under the list.
Each magazine is edited on its own. Weapons with several magazines or heatsinks list each one in a section of its own (size, spare magazines, reload time, heat, ergonomics bonus); changing one leaves the others as they are. A magazine some other weapons also use is shared with them, and its section names them. Values saved by older versions for the whole weapon carry over to its magazines.
Magazines hold at most 2048 rounds. The game caps a magazine there (a bigger one drops to 2048 at the first shot), so the editor stops at 2048 and says so if you go past it.
Custom muzzle brakes. Seven weapons come with a muzzle brake of their own (Liberator Penetrator, Pacifier, Coyote, Adjudicator, Tenderizer, Hyena, Diligence Counter Sniper). Each is an entry on the Attachments tab, named after its weapon ("Muzzle brake (Liberator Penetrator)").
In multiplayer your changes exist only in your game.
Other mods. SSEO should work alongside mods that change the same game files (other stat or stratagem tools) without conflict, as long as they go in first: SSEO keeps their changes and adds yours on top. This is not thoroughly tested yet.
1. Install or apply the other mod.
2. Start SSEO and press Install.
3. To change or remove the other mod later, press Restore in SSEO first, change the other mod, then press Install in SSEO again.
Where both change the same stat, SSEO's value wins.
SSEO changes the game's data files. The changed files keep the checksum the game expects, and the originals are kept in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SHODAN\StatEditor\originals (Restore puts them back). Use it at your own risk, and keep to private games with friends if in doubt.
Projectile swap loads the chosen weapon's trail and effects by itself, with no need to bring that weapon, for up to 6 weapons per install. A support weapon's first swap loads only when that weapon is brought, and takes one of those places. Past the limit, the weapons highest on the list keep their effects and Install warns you; the other shots still work, but have their trail only if someone in the mission brings the weapon they come from. Arc chain length / split edits also apply with other players.
One extra file. Vehicle handling, exosuit movement, enemy animation speed and your names and descriptions go into one extra file in the game's data folder (9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_N), which the game loads over its own files. Restore removes it.
Game Updates might require you to use the "Restore the game's files" option and then "Install into the game" again, otherwise your game may fail to connect to EAC.

Reporting problems

Open an issue and attach the logs (Settings > Logs and Presets opens their folder):

%LOCALAPPDATA%\SHODAN\StatEditor\Logs\SHODANStatEditor.log
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SHODAN\StatEditor\Logs\SHODANStatEditorHost.log

The logs list the game files and tables SSEO found, every stratagem it listed, what Install wrote, and anything it could not match, which is usually enough to find the cause.

In-game version

Versions up to v2.5.0 were an in-game panel (F8) run by Bingus Shared Loader, changing the game's settings in memory while it ran. Game build 25988413 removed what it needed, so it no longer works; SSEO edits the same values in the game's files instead. Grenade swap, speedloader / clip sizes and unlocking unused items (M-104 Incinerator FRV, P-41 Ombudsman, G-11 Caltrops, LAS-22 Shear) need the running game and exist only there. src/stat_editor.lua is the in-game version's source.

Building from source

offline/ holds SSEO: host.lua (the program), engine_shim.lua (its window), gamedata.lua (reading and sealing the game's data files), install.lua (Install / Restore), update.lua (the updater) and launcher/ (the .exe, and shodan_hash.dll for the checksums and downloads). The panel is src/stat_editor_offline.lua.

Build LuaJIT 2.1 (msvcbuild.bat), then offline\launcher\build.bat with LJ set to LuaJIT's src folder (Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools).
Put lua51.dll (LuaJIT) and libsodium.dll (libsodium, x64) in offline\runtime\.
python offline\package.py makes the release zip in offline\release\.

.github/workflows/dev-build.yml does the same on GitHub for every push to main and publishes the result as the Development build pre-release.
