Helldivers 2’s Star Wars Success Resurfaces Demand For A Terminator Mod

Following the natural development of many popular games, Helldivers 2 has a mod releasing later this week, prompting players to yell “For the Empire!” instead of democracy. The Star Wars mod may be en route to becoming more beloved than the base game – despite Arrowhead Game Studios being in stormy waters with the community – and the addition has even triggered demand for another sci-fi franchise to be integrated.

The Star Wars mod, created by YouTuber and modder Toasted 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 for Star Wars: Battlefront 3. The creation has even revived the demand for a Terminator mod or perhaps a solo T-800 game in the same style.

Helldivers 2’s Automatons Could Pass As T-70s

Replying to a post reporting on the Star Wars mod, one onlooker remarked “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 even shared interest in a Terminator skin mod alongside Zerg, Necrons, and Tyranids around the time of the sequel’s release. The Star Wars modder even dropped a video showing Master Chief, Buzz Lightyear, and Star-Lord skin mods taking on a horde of Minecraft spider, 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. One comment suggested a Terminator game using the engine and format of Metal 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.
