Heads up, Helldivers: Arrowhead Game Studios is moving Helldivers 2 from GameGuard to Easy Anti-Cheat today, and that means some mods—including those that don't have any impact on gameplay—may stop working.
Helldivers 2 doesn't have official modding support, but there are plenty of them out there—most either cosmetic or audio replacements. Arrowhead said in a Steam update that while it hasn't previously taken a position on mods beyond warning that it can't guarantee their safety or usability, it's seen a recent uptick in cheat mods and it can't let that stand.
