Summary

  • A Helldivers 2 Bile Titan glitch leads to a brutal and hilarious death, with the player being sliced in half in midair.
  • The game's success is often attributed to unique chaotic fun and the ability to create funny moments like this naturally.

A Helldivers 2 player has discovered a hilarious glitch in the game that has caused one of the most brutal deaths ever. Helldivers 2 offers many strange ways that players can die in the game, but this latest death is as unfortunate as any that has come before.

Helldivers 2 is one of the biggest surprise success stories of 2024 so far. It was released to very little fanfare, although once players got their hands on the game, news of its unique brand of chaotic fun began to spread like wildfire. There’s no doubt that a big part of its success is down to the hilarious moments that the game naturally manages to create. After all, it never gets old seeing the funniest ways to die in Helldivers 2. As the game continues to expand its popularity, there’s no doubt that players are going to find even more hilarious ways to die in the game.

Redditor Apocryphea shared the hilarious clip, which begins with the player spawning in the middle of combat. They manage to get themselves caught on the corpse of a dead Helldivers 2 Bile Titan, before being flung to their death in the air. It’s a strange glitch by itself, but it certainly doesn’t end there. A teammate calls in an Eagle Stratagem at the perfect moment, cutting through the player’s corpse midair, destroying it completely. It’s absolutely brutal to see, but there’s no doubt that it makes for an incredible spectacle.

Gamer Experiences Brutal Helldivers 2 Death

Gamers in the thread honed in on one particular element of the strange situation - the fact that the Eagle can actually collide with players. While it isn’t one of Helldivers 2’s main selling points, the attention to detail in the game has commonly been highlighted by players as one of the strongest elements. Gamers are constantly finding new Helldivers 2 details, keeping it fresh for returning players.

It has been awesome to see how developer Arrowhead Game Studios has reacted to the surprise success of Helldivers 2. It may have been easier for the studio to revel in its success, before abandoning the game with a lack of content. However, that hasn't happened at all, and the developer has done an incredible job at introducing frequent new content to keep the game feeling fresh, even for those who have played consistently since launch. A recent Helldivers 2 leak also revealed a new Exosuit Mech coming to the game, which is an exciting prospect. If Helldivers 2 keeps up with this level of support going forward, then the game has a long future ahead of it yet.

Freedom. Peace. Democracy. Your Super Earth-born rights. The key pillars of our civilization. Of our very existence. But the war rages on. And everything is once again under threat.

Join the greatest military force the galaxy has ever seen and make this a safe and free place to live.

BECOME A LEGEND
You will be assembled into squads of up to four Helldivers and assigned strategic missions. Watch each other’s back – friendly fire is an unfortunate certainty of war, but victory without teamwork is impossible.

Super Earth recognises your hard work with valuable Requisition. Use it to access different rewards that benefit you, your squad, your destroyer ship and our overall war effort.

THREATS
Everything on every planet wants you dead. That’s what we’re dealing with. Each enemy has distinct and unpredictable characteristics, tactics, and behavior – but they all fight ferociously and without fear or morality.

THE GALACTIC WAR
Capturing enemy planets, defending against invasions, and completing missions will contribute to our overall effort. This war will be won or lost depending on the actions of everyone involved.

We stand together, or we fall apart.
