Helldivers 2 can be full of goofy moments. At one moment, you might be blasting your friends into the outer layers of space, and at another, you might forget to throw your grenade and find pieces scattered across the planet. But, sometimes, things get too eerie to even make sense of.
Take an example from a recent gameplay clip posted on X. Everything seems normal; the squad is moving about the place, figuring out what to do, until one unfortunate complaint from a teammate triggers something totally unexpected.
Be Careful, or You Might Jinx Something in Helldivers 2
In a recent clip shared by Helldiversmedia on X, everything seems to be okay and nice until one unfortunate player complains about the mission. According to this player, there was ‘not much happening‘ on the planet.
Right after they said this, an explosion made them meet their demise. Why? How? We have no clue, except that this seems like something extremely uncanny and eerie on the part of Helldivers 2’s randomized environmental attacks.
It’s almost as if the devs were listening to the chat, making sure the gameplay stays dynamic and ‘explosive‘ for the players at that moment. Right after this happened, everyone in-game felt stunned and surprised, not knowing how to even process this.
The clip has garnered more than 33,000 views already and has some of the funniest comments acknowledging the randomness of Helldivers 2. The more you read through them, the more terrified you’d feel, thinking that every step and breath in Helldivers 2 might be an attempt at successfully perfecting Managed Democracy.
Another Day, Another Goof-up That Makes This Game so Much Fun
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Helldivers 2 be an open playground for all things random. In fact, the game thrives on this very gameplay loop. Players dive into a mission, thinking how things will go a certain way, only to come out battle-scarred and downright traumatized.
In previous articles, I’ve discussed how the game’s dynamic and unexpected gameplay loop makes for some of the best moments all over. Yet, players are more than eager to jump back in and keep doing the same things over and over again because it’s so enjoyable.
It would be funny, though, if one day Arrowhead decided to reveal that the studio has indeed been listening to all our conversations in-game. And based on that, generate randomized events in-game to keep things from turning dull. It’s starting to make sense, huh?
What are your thoughts on this gameplay clip? Do you think Helldivers 2 actually has devs listening to all that happens? Share with us some of your favorite moments from the game in the comments below.
