We’ve all been there, everything was going fine… until it wasn’t. Whether you stepped on something that blew you away or you accidentally fell from an extremely high cliff, you must have experienced some strange ways to go. Now, you can sit back and enjoy others’ misfortune as they recall their weirdest and funniest deaths in Helldivers 2.
Falling or Sometimes Not Falling Caused Many Deaths
One dedicated Helldiver, a-daily-user, shared: “There was this one time I was fighting bugs, you know those weird fungi in the ground that burst with spores and have high backslash when destroyed? Yeah, um, a bug swiped at it, and I got caught in the blast. Normally this would be a small inconvenience, but I was near a cliff at the edge of the map. Didn’t even make it to the bottom”.
Another player, Financial_Rooster_89, recalled how they were once blasted way up, near the Eagle. They didn’t even fall back down but died of a presumed lack of oxygen. This player shared another unfortunate but rather funny death. They stated: “Falling into a bug hole, my own fault but then I had to grenade myself so I could be reinforced. Death by own stupidity”.
Gakoknight was so close yet incredibly far from managing to escape the clutches of death. They noted: “I was the only one alive in my squad on a last-stand mission against bots. The dropship was present and I dived for it. A rocket hit me mid-flight, flinging me into the air. While airborne, another rocket hit me, flinging me even further and the drop killed my unfortunate a**”.
Ouch, that must have hurt. This player later clarified that their teammates found the whole incident extremely amusing. We can’t even remember the number of times we met our doom by being thrown off a cliff or just rag-dolled. There is one trick that sometimes works, but not always in our experience, you could try emoting mid-air. Supposedly, the way you land changes and prevents heavier injuries.
Helldivers Advise to Watch Your Step to Avoid Unnecessary Deaths
Funnily enough lots of Helldivers 2 players experienced extremely confusing deaths caused by stepping on something. MrNornin said: “I was in an Exosuit, I walked on some spiky plants the brand new mech started to burn and then exploded”.
Trueman96 shared: “I still don’t know what happened exactly but while playing against Automatons I stepped on something and was thrown across the map. The sad thing was I was tight on time the whole mission and this incident just made me rage quit that match as I was too far from the main objective with only 4 minutes left”.
For us, the funniest story was told by ezioir1. They recalled: “The Hellpod didn’t land. It passed the map and then it released me into infinite fall. A few moments later I glitch to be on land but in less than a second got shot for being a traitor”.
Honestly, it’s nice to see that the Helldivers 2 community has a lighthearted approach to all of these deaths. Funny things happen, there is no need to take them too seriously. After all, we’re all here to enjoy the game, and, of course, spread democracy. Maybe in the free Exosuit while completing the Major Order? See you out there, for Super Earth.
