Mortal Shell II Mods: Full List & Install Guide
The best Mortal Shell II mods on Nexus right now, from the UE4SS Cheat Menu to Simple Easy Mode and combat tuners, plus UE4SS setup and trainer options.
Mortal Shell II already has an active mod scene days after launch: 74 mods are live on Nexus Mods as of August 20-21, 2026, most of them built on the UE4SS loader, plus two standalone trainer apps (WeMod and PLITCH) that need no loader at all. Here's what's actually worth installing, how to set it up, and what's still unconfirmed about official mod support.
Is Modding Officially Supported?
Cold Symmetry and Playstack have not published any statement on mod support or anti-cheat policy for Mortal Shell II — this is genuinely unconfirmed (TBD). A reply in a general Steam discussion thread claimed mods were already in use during the demo and were considered safe for a single-player game, but the full thread couldn't be verified, so treat that as an unverified community opinion, not confirmed developer policy.
No official mod-support statement
Nothing here has been confirmed safe by Cold Symmetry or Playstack. Mods that touch Steam achievements or save data (like the UE4SS Cheat Menu's unlock tools) are worth using with that in mind.
Nexus Mods Is the Hub
As of August 20-21, 2026 (patch build 2026.0820), Nexus Mods lists 74 mods, 0 collections, and 4 media items for Mortal Shell II — a fast-growing library for a game only days old.
You'll Need UE4SS First
Nearly every gameplay mod on Nexus runs on UE4SS (Unreal Engine 4/5 Scripting System), a Lua/blueprint mod-loading framework. Install the dedicated UE4SS for MortalShell2 loader mod (by dmgvol, 6.6MB, 1.5k downloads) first by extracting it into the game's MortalShell2\Binaries\Win64\ folder — Steam's install folder is often internally named "Sparta," so right-click the game in Steam → Manage → Browse local files to get there. Most other Nexus mods list this loader as a hard requirement.
One alternative loader also exists: DML - DmgModLoader (dmgvol, 500 downloads), built specifically for blueprint mods ("LogicMods") that don't rely on external DLL hooks.
Top Mods Worth Installing
These are the standouts from Nexus's own "Top Files" ranking — a mix of cheats, quality-of-life tweaks, and visual changes.
- UE4SS Cheat Menu (DevToolsMaster, 7.3k downloads) — full in-game cheat menu; the most-downloaded mod on Nexus.
- UE4SS for MortalShell2 (dmgvol, 1.5k downloads) — the base loader most other mods require.
- Custom Parry Guard and Harden Windows (Allki1869, 1.8k downloads) — retune parry/harden timing windows via an in-game UI.

- Ultimate Starter Save (DevToolsMaster, 482 downloads) — level-1 save with all weapons, sidearms, tarstones, and seals pre-unlocked.
- Health and Resolve Numbers (Allki1869, 433 downloads) — shows exact Health and Resolve values directly on the HUD bars.

Notable Mods, In Detail
UE4SS Cheat Menu (DevToolsMaster)
The most-downloaded cheat mod on Nexus — 44 endorsements, 7.3k downloads at time of writing, first uploaded Aug 17, 2026, updated Aug 20, 2026. Requires UE4SS (latest experimental build recommended, tested on UE 5.6) plus a bundled "ModMenu" runtime.
- Extract the mod's full package into
<Mortal Shell II install>\MortalShell2\Binaries\Win64\(the folder is often internally named "Sparta" in Steam). - Confirm these paths now exist:
...\ue4ss\,...\ue4ss\Mods\MortalShell2Mod\,...\ue4ss\Mods\shared\ModMenu\, and...\ue4ss\UE4SS_Signatures\StaticConstructObject.lua. - Launch the game, load into a world, and press F6 (or Fn+F6 on compact keyboards) to open the menu.
The menu has four tabs — Cheats, Give, Unlocks, Keybinds — dockable left or right with collapsible sections:
- Cheats: Auto Heal (default 100% of max HP per tick, 1-second delay), Infinite Resolve, No Ability Cooldown, Auto Parry on Hit (works even on unparryable "red" attacks with the Infinite Seal equipped), Always Perfect Block (needs Untarnished Seal), Always Perfect Harden (needs Vatra's Seal), Max Shell Points 100, Move Fast (default 2x), and Smert Stealth.
- Shells: instantly switch to any shell anywhere, including Harros after the prologue — normally locked once he's "petrified" post-Tar Golem fight.
- Give: all Tarstones by type, level increments (cap of 3), any pickup via a searchable list, and quick-add for Gold, Gloom, Glimpses, Shell Points, Tarcores, Ventrium, Laterite, Dorsalite, Thoracium, and Ovums.
- Unlocks: everything from Clothing to Weapons to Shell Shades, plus map unlocks — Reveal All Icons is irreversible once used. Unlock buttons also fire real Steam achievements, so the author deliberately left out an "Unlock Everything" button to avoid spamming achievement notifications.
All toggles are session-only and reset on restart; most re-apply automatically within about 3 seconds of death/respawn.
From a hands-on install walkthrough
Item quantities reset to 1 after each Give-tab add (to stop accidental spam of 999 of something). Tarstone level changes need you to unequip and re-equip the stone before they visually apply. Toggles like Auto Heal, Perfect Block, and Perfect Harden only work once the matching shell or seal is actually equipped. The menu UI is English-only.
Simple Easy Mode Mod (kingsyu)

Install: extract the archive directly into ...MortalShell2/Content/Paks/.
Custom Parry Guard and Harden Windows (Allki1869)
19 endorsements, 1.8k downloads, first uploaded Aug 17, 2026, updated Aug 20, 2026. Instead of editing a config file, you retune combat timing through an in-game UI: parry window length, parry startup delay (0-0.30s), perfect-guard window length, guard retry delay, perfect-harden window length, and a Continuous Perfect Guard toggle (every eligible hit during Guard becomes a Perfect Guard, not just the first).
Presets: VANILLA (restores original values), CUSTOM 1 / CUSTOM 2 (user-saved slots), and EXTREME (30-second windows on everything, zero parry startup delay, shortest guard retry delay, Continuous Perfect Guard on).
- Download and extract the All-in-One archive.
- Locate the Mortal Shell II install folder (containing MortalShell2.exe) and copy the included MortalShell2 folder in, allowing Windows to merge/overwrite.
- Launch the game, load a save, and press Ctrl+F3 to open the tuning menu.
- Pick a preset or drag sliders manually, then press APPLY — selecting a preset alone does not apply it.
- Optionally press SAVE 1 or SAVE 2 to store your current values.
To uninstall, delete MortalShell2\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\DefenseWindowTuner.
Visual & Performance Mods
Mortal Shell 2 Enhanced (OogaBooga19, 3 endorsements, 143 downloads) is a Reshade preset combining "Zenteon Local Contrast+Sharpness" with "FGFX Large Scale Obscurence" for sharper metal edges, light refraction, and a mild contrast/clarity boost. To install: set up Reshade for the game's Win64 folder (...Sparta\MortalShell2\Binaries\Win64), select the DirectX API, then load the mod's Enhanced.ini preset on the effects page.
Other frequently-used visual and QoL mods on Nexus: Vibrant Reshade (color/contrast boost), the FOV ultrawide HUD Reshade addon (FOV, HUD position, 3-axis camera), Ultrawide Fix (removes pillarboxing), Cleaner Sharper Visuals (strips depth-of-field and vignette), and plain "Disable depth of field" and "No-Intro" tweaks that need no mod loader at all — just an .ini edit or file replacement.
Standalone Trainers: WeMod and PLITCH
If you'd rather skip installing a mod loader entirely, two trainer apps cover Mortal Shell II directly.
WeMod (an 85MB Windows trainer app) lists 42 toggleable cheats, grouped into Player Mods (Unlimited Health, God Mode, Perfect Block, No Ability Cooldown, Revive, Add Gold/Glimpses/Gloom, and more), Inventory Mods (unlock all Shells/Weapons/Sidearms/Seals, add all items), Stats Mods, Weapons Mods (One-Hit Kills, Damage Multiplier), Enemies Mods (Freeze AI, Kill All Enemies), Game Mods (Unlock Fast Travel/Gates, Reveal Map), Physics Mods (Fly, Speed Multiplier), and Teleport Mods. Open the game from WeMod's list, press Play, then toggle mods on/off in-game — WeMod auto-detects your installed game version.
PLITCH (a paid/freemium Windows trainer) lists 27 total codes. The free tier covers Refill Health, Refill Resolve, and two Save/Teleport Position B codes. Premium unlocks Invincible, Unlimited Health/Resolve, Always Low Health/Resolve, Unlimited/Refill Healing Charges, Easy Kills, Hover/Fly Mode, Set Shell Points, Player Size and Speed Multipliers, Gloom/Gold Multiplier on enemy death, and additional Save/Teleport Position A and C codes. Setup: install the PLITCH client, create a free or Premium account, search for Mortal Shell II, and activate codes in-game.
