Hello fellow Helldivers!
I started this tool for myself, but I thought it might be useful to other divers too, so I published it.
The goal was to build a simpler, easier-to-use version of Democracy Hub's stats and simulator.
Features
Damage Falloff

Basically, it shows damage falloff over distance, as the name says, with adjustable pellet/shrapnel counts.
When using shotguns or explosives with shrapnel, I always wondered how much damage I'd actually deal depending on how many pellets hit, but I was too lazy to calculate it myself, so I made this feature.
Explosion Details

An easy way to check how damage decreases with distance from the center of an explosion.
Breakpoint Hits Simulator
https://reddit.com/link/1x94zci/video/h5edk3emm8wh1/player
As it name, it show target parts breakpoints with weapon from setup in ballistic function.
Pellets/shrapnels adjust from Damage Falloff is also applied in breakpoint as well.
How Damage Falloff Was Tested

To be honest, I'm not good at data mining the game client. So I just tested the weapons I use a lot in-game myself, and used AI to back-calculate the results.

It's still in development, but I'll keep updating it until I quit the game.
I'm already at 1100+ hours and still enjoying HD2, so I'm not sure quitting is even possible, tho.
