Waste World

**Waste World** is a game in the universe of *The Hex* created by Lionel Snill, with Rust McClain as the protagonist. It is half-finished, and the latter half is comprised of mods.

## Story

Rust McClain and his son Rocky are in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, fighting raiders in order to survive. When they make their way to a cache which supposedly hold the key to a better life, they discover Jeremiah, who tells them their game is incomplete. After that, mods are added the game, making Rust question reality. Eventually, the modders are sent a cease and desist from Lionel and the game is abandoned.

### Raiders

Raiders are first seen wanting to get a hold of the Cache, and defending it from Rust and Rocky. They have short range of movement, and only one tile of attack range. They seem to be simply antagonistic figures, with the goal of defending or gaining what they see as valuable to their survival. They have 24 health and 4 attack, and their description reads "Get close and ur in for a broozin'." Their design is actually first seen during the montage of Combat Arena X.

### Vermin

Vermin is the name of the class of enemies that include Radrats, Mustard Skunks, and Radderrats. They all have 4 health and 4 attack, with a larger range of movement, but still only one tile of attack range. The description of Radrats and Mustard Skunks read "Fast movement \*sniff\* low damage \*sniff\*" while the Radderrats have a description of "Even more irradiated." They are all animals mutated by the nuclear radiation of the wasteland.

### Crypton Figter

Aliens originating from Bandito7's Alien Invasion mod. They have 20 health and 12 attack, having a shorter range of movement but a high range. They possess mind control devices that contain "M.C. serum," which are used on a pack of RadRats to have the rats fight on their side, as well as an alien using one on Rust. Their description reads "frm home planet of crypton. weelding plasma rifle!"

### Wizarro

Wizarro appears in an optional battle against a horde of RadRats. He is controllable as a friendly unit, and has 10 health (effectively 6 health, as that is what he starts the battle with) and 12 attack. He has larger ranged attacks. After defeating all of the rats, he thanks Rust and Rocky and rewards them with extra scrap. His description reads "A seemingly out of place wizard."

### Vallamir Worshipper

The Vallamir worshipper is a lamia found in the wastelands before the Radioactive City, from clicking an offscreen tile. They give Rust a special hammer to break out Vallamir with, should Rust ever see him. At the Six Pint Inn, Rust dropped the hammer outside before he came in, so he cannot break free Vallamir himself as he doesn't know where the hammer is anymore.

### Dustbowl Danny

The first boss in the Boss Rush mod, originally the boss of the dunes area. He has 36 health but 0 attack. Instead of attacking himself, he has Gunbots that attack for him, those having 4 health and 1000 attack. They shoot in the direction they are facing, but do not move. When Danny is attacked, he switches with a randomly determined Gunbot for it to take the damage instead, and after a certain amount of turns in the battle, the Gunbots will switch positions. The battle can be won by either killing Danny before all the Gunbots, causing them to retreat, or by killing all the Gunbots and leaving Danny open to attack. Danny's description is "A menace back in the day, but now appears 'unarmed.'" The Gunbots' description reads "Fires straight ahead, BUT never moves or turns." During The Vurm's battle, Gunbots have a reskin called Radbots.

### The Vurm

The Vurm is the second boss in the Boss Rush mod, originally the boss of the nuclear caverns. The Vurm itself has 124 health and 0 attack, however it relies on summoning reinforcements, as well as its tail that does 48 damage. The Vurm is very demanding of respect and to be treated as a ruler, but at the same time has doubts in its own demands. The Vurm spawns toxic gas throughout most of the field, and summons Radderrats and Radbots as a distraction from hitting the weakpoint of its midriff. After the third phase of this, the Vurm exposes itself, allowing it to be directly attacked and defeated.

### Mr. Squarrel

After the Super Weasel Kid mod, Mr. Squarrel is found in the castle, sleeping. If the glasses were not purchased from Rebecha, Rust has the option to shoot and kill him. If they were, Squarrel wakes up, asking Rust to stop. He recognizes the glasses on his face, and expresses his regrets for pawning them off. They belonged to Mr. Shrewd, who was his lover, who had simply passed from old age. He gave them away due to grief, and the reason he slept so much was because he would dream about Shrewd sometimes. After getting the glasses back from Rust, Mr. Squarrel resolves to do something positive, and to turn his life around.
