Monster Hunter: World receives a special mod. It is a skin of the outfit of 2B, a character from the action RPG Nier: Automata. The popularity of Automata also extends to other MMO games.
What is Nier: Automata? Developed in collaboration between Square Enix and Platinum Games, Nier: Automata is the successor to the popular action role-playing game Nier: Gestalt / Replica.
The story of Automata is set against a backdrop of a millennia-long war between humanity and the aliens who have attacked Earth.
In order to finally decide the war in their favor, humanity developed a special type of combat android called YoRHa and sent several of them to Earth to fight the alien machine army.
The events revolve around the YoRHa androids 2B, 9S, and A2. Due to the dynamic combat system and the profound story, Nier: Automata has won numerous awards and quickly became known as the hidden gem of 2017 among fans.
What does the Nier Automata mod do in Monster Hunter: World? Although mods in MHW are not officially supported and used at your own risk, their number is quite large. Recently, a new skin mod “Project Two-Bee” has been added, which makes your character look like 2B from Nier Automata. At least almost.
The skin does not copy 2B’s appearance one-to-one but moderates the female YoRHa android in the character creator of Monster Hunter: World.
The creator of the mod, a user named Uhlica, has reported that the mod is not yet completely finished. In addition to various minor adjustments, the stockings, sleeves, and the dress’s skirt are to be improved.
Where can you get the mod? As is the case with many other mods, you can download the 2B skin from Nexusmods . However, the mods in Monster Hunter: World are not officially supported, so it is up to you whether the skin is worth the risk.
Nier Automata is also popular in other MMO games
2B’s outfit is often used as a mod: Generally, Nier Automata seems to be extremely popular among MMO players. There are also mods circulating in the communities of Final Fantasy XIV and GTA V Online that make your character look like 2B or A2.
In particular, the FFXIV fans have long hoped for a collaboration event with Nier Automata. The Twitter user @HJZ_artemi even developed a concept of what such an event might look like in the MMORPG.
Her event concept included special weapons from Nier Automata for each class in FFXIV, outfits for the characters 2B and 9S, and a new mount. Unfortunately, the FFXIV development team has no plans for a collaboration with Nier Automata.
Things will soon be happening on the PC version of Monster Hunter: World:
