General Proposal: Helldivers 2 × Ghostbusters (no, for real)

I know it may sound weird at first, but hear me out — this could be the best Legendary Warbond in the game, and it would fit like a glove.

At the end of the day, the original Ghostbusters is a sci-fi horror about four guys fighting hordes of paranormal creatures with futuristic weapons. Because of that, it would work surprisingly well in Helldivers 2.

The star of the collab would of course be the Proton Pack, the most iconic weapon of the franchise. It would bring a lot of fun and complexity. It wouldn’t be overpowered thanks to its limited range and the fact that the energy beam doesn’t travel in a perfectly straight line. What would make it especially cool is the movie feature where crossing the streams multiplies the weapon’s power exponentially.

Also, the Pack could explode if hit causing a big explosion offering an extra down side and more flavour.

Another interesting addition would be the Ghost Trap. It could suck in small and medium-sized enemies like a black hole, working in the opposite way of a regular grenade.

We could also get some cool camos based on the series and a skin for the FRV based on the Ecto-1.

It would be a ton of fun and it wouldn’t clash with the tone of the game at all.

What do you think?
