Intro
There's 2 methods. I RECOMMEND THE 2ND ONE but the 1st might be more useful for modding a dynamic behaviour in the future. Use the first one if you want to tweak the compass/radar scale or hide it, hide or scale floating 3d markers or change fade conditions for hud elements. Use the second one if you want to tweak many things individually (hp bar, weapon wheels, chase icons...). You can combine both methods too.

Steps for method 1:
Scroll to the "DisplayList("hud_screen_layer_radar")" line:
Example 1
Remove the lines inside the brackets:
Example 2
----
Steps for method 2:
The first method won't let you tweak some things individually like the hp bar, weapon select... I found a really silly method that just involves deleting files to basically toggle some of the hud off.
Here's a list that I will update with the hud elements and the related file/s that needs to be deleted to toggle them off. There's an example with a screenshot at the bottom. Please test new files and write them in the comments so I can update the list.

Steps for method 1:
- 1. First of all you should close the game and install 7zip to open compressed files and a text editor like notepad++.
- 2. Navigate to your game folder by right clicking your game in the library and selecting Manage->Browse local files. You can also go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\.
- 3. Go inside the ph folder, then inside the source folder. You will be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\ph\source and there's a file called "data0.pak" there.
- 4. Open the file with 7zip, winrar or whatever you use. And then go inside the "gui" folder. Extract the "hud_config.scr" file (MAKE A BACKUP TOO!).
- 5. Open the extracted file with notepadd++. And then you just need to edit some lines to disable stuff. I will show you an example below on how to disable the radar/compass.
- 6. After making the changes, delete the "hud_config.scr" file inside the guide folder in "data0.pak" and move your own inside. You could also move and replace. (BACKUP THE ORIGINAL FILE BEFORE!)

Steps for method 2:
The first method won't let you tweak some things individually like the hp bar, weapon select... I found a really silly method that just involves deleting files to basically toggle some of the hud off.
- 1. Go inside the gui->hud_pc folder in the data0.pak and extract and BACKUP THE FILES there.
- (ALT Method) You can also just open up the pak file with 7z and delete the file right in the folder in 7z
- 2. Delete the .gui file related to the thing that you don't want (just check the names, pretty self explanatory). If you want to revert the changes move the backup file inside the zip again.
Here's a list that I will update with the hud elements and the related file/s that needs to be deleted to toggle them off. There's an example with a screenshot at the bottom. Please test new files and write them in the comments so I can update the list.
