HellBlaze

About This Tool

HellBlaze is a fan-made web application designed to help Helldivers inject some more fun back into their games. No more taking your favourites. No more only playing optimally! Try out some randomised loadouts that you'd never think of before.

How it Works

Weighting System

HellBlaze works by generating a randomised loadout based on JSON data that has been built specifically for this project. If you check out the Stratagems or Weapons pages, you'll see that the data is represented over there.

It uses a weighting system. So if we do not apply any multipliers then we'll have an equal chance for every stratagem to show up. If we add, say, a 5x multiplier for fire, then the randomiser will add the fire weight * fire multiplier to the total weight. This means that the fire stratagem will be more likely to show up.

That weighting system will work with anything since it's all just based on the higher weights meaning something is more likely. This does mean that if you have a stratagem that is explosive, fire-based, and anti-tank then you add 5x multipliers for each, you will get that stratagem showing up a lot. This is intended behaviour and means that your loadout will reflect the sliders as closely as possible while remaining random :)

Base Weight

Note that a base weight is added as well. Remember that the higher a weight, the more likely something is to show up? So if we add a 2x fire multiplier plus a base weight of 10, we're still going to get very random results. You can imagine that every stratagem will have a weight of 10 and the fire stratagems will be a weight of 12.

This means that if you have a set of sliders that you like, you can fiddle with the base value to increase total randomness. It's literally just added onto the end of the calculation for weights.

Armour

Since Arrowhead provide armour in the super store, the tool does not distinguish between armour based on your warbond. Instead, it will randomly pick any passive. If you just don't own that type of armour, I recommend just picking something fun and different.

Daily Challenge

The daily challenge is a randomised loadout that is seeded and reset each UTC day. It's designed to be a fun challenge to get you into the game without having to think too hard about what you want to do. I encourage you to post your results on Reddit and share it with your friends :)

Warbonds and Player Names

You can select the warbonds that you own and the tool will attempt to save this against the player name in your local browser storage. So if you set up your warbonds for a player called, say, "John Helldiver", then when you visit again and type in that name onto the card, it will set the warbonds again for you.

You can click into the name on each card to set it.

Political Affiliation

HellBlaze proudly stands for MANAGED DEMOCRACY and SUPER EARTH. The server is regularly inspected by a democracy officer. If you use this tool then you agree that trans rights are human rights.
