Every now and then there are some amazing Warbonds that fans of the Helldivers series present to the world. While some focus on being more futuristic, and others on guerilla warfare, some reach into the realm of fantasy. In a Helldivers 2 Warbond that feels partially like it was ripped from Monster Hunter, a fan has proposed the ability to control democracy-driven Terminid.
Previously, we have showcased a western-themed warbond that would allow players to to run around with two six-shooters. A quantum leap Warbond also featured more energy weapons and an orbital arc barrage stratagem that could decimate an area.
Helldivers 2 Beast Master Warbond lets you control Terminid
Recently, user Beanie_Ti on Reddit posted about their Beast Masters Premium Warbond idea for Helldivers 2. Overall, the warbond feels pretty standard, offering two armor sets, a secondary weapon, two stratagems, a throwable, and other items you would expect from a premium warbond. However, the armor sets are clearly bug-themed which gives a nice Monster Hunter feel to them, the secondary weapon is a whip, oh, and the stratagems let you control democracy-driven Terminid.
Breaking the Warbond down, the passive ability on the armor sets is called Beast Master. According to the user, this perk gives you a “personal Shrieker companion” who follows you around and “persists between lives.” It also states that your “Terminid allies gain a 20% damage reduction when you are near.” The Shrieker companion is also different depending on which set you have equipped.
The stratagems are where this set gets pretty amazing. These are the DB-13 Warrior Pack and the DB-35 Brood Rider. The Warrior Pack allows you to “call in a pack of five democratic Terminid warriors” covered with “recycled armor plates.” These can attack nearby enemies that you designate and can be called back using an emote. The Brood Rider lets you call in a large Terminid clad in Helldiver armor that you can ride on. It is able to carry two Helldivers and you can even shoot your weapon while riding it. It will also automatically attack nearby foes.
Of course, the Beast Master Warbond for Helldivers 2 wouldn’t be complete without the LAS-80 Whip – the secondary melee weapon that “can make quick work of a Terminid warm or a few Striders.” You can also use it to “whip your Terminid allies or Helldivers to motivate them.” Nothing like whipping your buddies into shape when they aren’t performing their democratic obligations.
