Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead wasn’t shy concerning the array of buffs it included in Patch 1.001.100, but it surely seems there might effectively have been an unintentional one which’s slipped underneath the radar. Properly, it is extra of a bug, and it is letting gamers fly. Naturally, now Johan Pilestedt’s seen it in motion, they’re begging him to simply neglect he ever did.
Yep, it appears to be like just like the protect generator making of us impervious to melee injury won’t be the one unintended characteristic of us can experiment with or profit from whereas they’re taking over the present Main Order and sampling the most recent Warbond.
On the Helldivers 2 subreddit, a person with the deal with k_Random seems to have posted the following evolution of the emoting to keep away from taking max fall injury phenemenon that gripped Helldivers nation earlier this 12 months. Principally, as they put it: “Spamming the Emote Key permits you to fly now!”
The clip they’ve posted sees a diver begin off on a bridge and after falling off the facet of it, handle to drift via the air horizonally with out dropping just by getting locked in an emote animation loop that finally ends up amounting to a sequence of fast crouches, because the movement is compelled to start out over and over. It really cuts off earlier than they drop, so we do not get to see how lengthy they managed to make their flight final, however they get fairly far within the 16 seconds or so proven.
Nestled within the feedback, that are the precise array of individuals rightly going ‘woah, that is fairly cool’ you’d count on, you will discover one from Arrowhead CCO and identified Reddit browser Johan Pilestedt. What’s he mentioned? Nothing, all we received was a GIF. That iconic certainly one of Homer Simpson slinking again into the bushes, to be actual.
Did he react on this method as a result of he is slinking again into the ether so he can fake he hasn’t seen the bug as an excuse to go away it within the recreation? Or has he slinked off to inform his staff ‘oi, of us, we have given the divers an excessive amount of energy, floor ’em!’?
All we all know for now’s that loads of gamers are praying it is the previous, with one writing: “Do not sleep on this Pilestedt! Create a brand new recreation mode the place this mechanic comes into play.” Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani was a giant fan of these aforemenioned lifesaving mid-air salutes, so it appears potential.
Are you hoping Arrowhead lets of us proceed glitching their approach into one thing the Wright brothers could be pleased with? Tell us beneath!
