The important goal is to complete the mission in the name of democracy. The studio recently made a change that surprised the fans.

A Reddit video revealed that the studio had made a long-overdue change. Apparently, if an explosion or another type of attack blew players away, they could survive by performing certain emotes while in the air.

It seems the studio has now addressed this, and fans are quite disappointed because it was a humorous way to survive. There is still hope, according to certain parts of the community.

Such Changes Are Always Possible

Of course, users commented on this post with different opinions about what happened. Helldivers 2 players lament this fixed flaw, saying it was the fault of those users who weren’t performing the hug emote before landing.

Other users argued that it was still possible to survive if they landed on an arm or leg, depending exclusively on how they fell.

The studio has never given any details about this possibility, but clearly, the community will keep trying to figure out the real way to survive a huge fall.

Other users said that to survive, you need to perform the emote just before landing, not in the middle; that is the only way to survive. For now, not all players believe that the studio has truly fixed this falling bug.

Overall, Helldivers 2 players agree that there’s a 50% chance of surviving, and it’s not always guaranteed. One of the most remarkable aspects of this game’s community is their passion, which is evident on various social media platforms.

The game’s official subreddit is always active with new suggestions and requests, helping players improve and continue spreading democracy without issues.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
