Could you build this?

No Building an in-game target overlay for a game like Helldivers 2 requires reverse-engineering the game client's memory structures, handling anti-cheat circumvention, and writing DirectX/Direct3D hooks.

What it would actually take: This requires low-level C++ or Rust development using tools like Cheat Engine, Ghidra, or x64dbg to locate dynamically changing entity pointer chains and coordinate memory offsets. The developer must inject a DLL or run an external overlay hooked into DirectX/Vulkan presentation pipelines, all while bypassing Helldivers 2's kernel-level anti-cheat (nProtect GameGuard), which necessitates specialized game hacking and reverse engineering skills.
