Following the natural development of many popular games,Helldivers 2has a mod releasing later this week, prompting players to yell “For the Empire!” instead of democracy. TheStar Warsmod may be en route to becoming more beloved than the base game - despiteArrowhead Game Studiosbeing instormy waters with the community- and the addition has even triggered demand for another sci-fi franchise to be integrated.
TheStar Wars mod, created by YouTuber and modderToasted Shoes, is so impressive it’s convinced fans of the George Lucas-created franchise that this is the perfect formula for a Clone Wars game or even a sound blueprint forStar Wars: Battlefront3. The creation has even revived the demand for aTerminatormod or perhaps a solo T-800 game in the same style.
Helldivers 2 Inspired By Brandon Sanderson, Dystopian Sci-Fi, And “George W. Bush-Era Stuff”, Says Former Lead Writer
“Even the trashier stuff, like the film Equilibrium…” were cinematic inspirations for Helldivers 2’s vibe.
Helldivers 2’s Automatons Could Pass As T-70s
Replying to apostreporting on the Star Wars mod, one onlookerremarked“I’m surprised no one has made a Terminator mod yet.” This is a good shout because the Automatons in Helldivers 2 are ready and waiting to be given a skin flaunting the silver chrome of T-Units in all their variations, including the T-70 models which are closest to the Automatons’ design.
Another Redditor evensharedinterest in a Terminator skin mod alongside Zerg, Necrons, and Tyranids around the time of the sequel’s release. The Star Wars modder even dropped avideoshowing Master Chief, Buzz Lightyear, and Star-Lord skin mods taking on a horde ofMinecraftspider, Thomas the Tank Engine, and Lightning McQueen enemies in hilarious fashion, proving the implementation of Terminator skin mods would be light work.
Talk around Terminator mods naturally called back the discussion around a solo Terminator game that first surfaced a few months ago. The shooter’s mechanics were certainly in line with Redditor’s hopes for a gnarly battle against the T-Units after a slew of past releases failed to leave a lasting impression on fans’ minds. Onecommentsuggested a Terminator game using the engine and format ofMetal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, with gameplay controlling Kyle, “saving humans, infiltration missions, gathering intel, [and] scavenging.”
If a Helldivers 2 Terminator mod fails to drop soon, the fandom has the survival open-world title, Terminator: Survivors, from Nacon to look forward to, which may excel at delivering a modern-day Skynet invasion worth remembering.
