Wow. #Helldivers2
This is what happens when you prioritize kicking out the handful of people who use mods over addressing complaints.

They switched to Easy Anti-Cheat. It probably killed the mod scene. And you might as well add the usual bugs, performance quirks, and misc issues.
It's not just the mod community. I causes crashes for players who weren't modded such as myself. Haven't been able to beat a mission since the update. It crashes within minutes, if not seconds of starting a game.
Haven’t they been running Easy Anti-Cheat for a year or more?
No, since the game launched they were using GameGuard. Today's patch replaced it with EAC
At least from what AH said, cosmetic mods should still work, but I've not messed with mods for the game so I wouldn't know really
Some mods, UI and audio mods in particular, have been broken as par for the course, I don't know about UI mods but audio mods are trivial to fix;
officially the devs are okay with mods that don't alter the gameplay, although some mods (such as the one for loadouts idr the name) that use scripts got caught in the crossfire
For now, though? I can hope that's the case, I guess. 😅
Save for SC models and the likes, I wouldn't count on AH deliberately breaking asset replacement mods, so at least we have that
