The Monster Army are a faction in Wasteland 3.
Background[]
The Monster Army ruled a significant portion of Colorado for many years until they were defeated by the Patriarch and the Hundred Families. The Bizarre, once their seat of power, is now the only area they still control.
The Patriarch defeated the Monster Army by finding a way into the Bizarre through the Warrens. After their defeat at the hands of the Patriarch, the remnants of the Monster Army swore fealty to him, and were allowed to keep the Bizarre in return.
Members of the Monster Army wear pre-war Halloween masks to create a gang of faceless, unsettling killers.
Organization[]
Beliefs[]
The idea behind the gang's weird horror gimmick, according to a recording Team November can find in their old base, was that once you put a mask on, you could do anything; it's the Ring of Gyges or G.I.F.T. idea, applied to real life through a plastic mask. They're well aware it's just a dime store novelty item, a kid's toy; the point is making the wearer, and others, realize the monster is inside the mask.
Interactions[]
- The Monster Army runs the Bizarre. Completing A Nightmare in the Bizarre quest will result in a 20% reduction in prices on top of the usual Barter modifiers.
Reputation[]
Reputation is a new game mechanic introduced in Wasteland 3. Whereas previous games largely relied on scripted interactions to determine how other factions viewed you, Wasteland 3 instead tracks your reputation on a sliding scale, reflecting how other factions view you. The Rangers' standing with them is graded on a five step scale: Hated, Disliked, Neutral, Liked, and Loved, and the reputation has a direct impact on the story, quest resolutions, and even random encounters.
- Reputation effects
| Hated | No effect |
