While the developers of Sony’s Helldivers 2 might have finally gotten a break after fixing the persisting server issues, it seems they might be in for a round 2 after players have discovered a new exploit that makes them near invincible.
It is true, that the huge influx of players leading to the game’s major success allows the player base to often come up with one of the most game-breaking bugs ever seen since the release of the title. The bug, which supposedly makes you invincible even during a Hellbomb, is surfacing on social media platforms and is arguably not a bug, but a feature.
New Helldivers 2 Bug Makes Players Invincible With The Power Of Friendship
For added context, Power of Friendship is a term given to when a character is able to power up and become stronger with the help of motivation coming from their friends surrounding them. It is a fairly common occurrence that happens in the anime world and has even made its way through other cultures and entertainment industries.
The bug we are talking about in Helldivers 2 is when a player wearing a shield backpack hugs another player in-game, allowing them to survive every single damage output during the animation of the emote. This even includes the NUX-223 Hellbomb, with some players even exploiting the bug to clear out enemies surrounding them with a nuke while the two characters hug each other. The bug has also managed to become a meme in the community fairly quickly, with players even saying “Hug Me, Brotha” while using the exploit.
Fans of the game have even pointed out how the recent patch should have fixed the bug, but it did not do so, which essentially means that the developers of the game are enjoying as much as we do watching the power of friendship. The unintended bug could also possibly be fixed with the anticipated Mech update, which has got players excited all around.
Helldivers 2 To Add Operable Mechs In-Game To Help Complete Missions
In an interesting and anticipated turn of events, the official Twitter account for Helldivers 2 has officially announced the deployment of Mechas, termed EXO-45 Patriot Exosuits to be used by players in-game soon enough.
This particular feature was first revealed in a leaked video that made its rounds on the internet. The video showcased how the development of these Mechas exosuits has finished and what they would look like in-game. This helped players understand what they could expect with the upcoming features of the game and how it would help in finishing missions with better efficiency.

As mentioned before, the bug allowing players to become invincible is likely to be patched soon with the imminent release of mechs in the game. While it is possible that players can face a ban hammer for misusing the exploit, the situation remains unlikely to happen as long as the bug is not being abused.
Helldivers 2 is available to purchase on Steam.
