Helldivers 2 is not only an unexpected smash hit, but an absolutely hilarious game as well. Thanks to its wacky physics and surprisingly challenging difficulty, the co-op shooter can throw some truly comical moments your way in the heat of battle. This makes playing the game with friends a truly memorable experience.
The latest notable victim of the frenetically funny game is a YouTuber we’ve come to know for his superb gaming skills – Shroud. The popular streamer has been streaming Helldivers 2 lately, and a new clip shows that even he isn’t immune to the shooter’s shenanigans.
Shroud Gets Annihilated By Helldivers 2’s Physics
In a recent clip uploaded to YouTube, Shroud, the renowned streamer, is seen hilariously struggling in Helldivers 2. Fans accustomed to his skillful Apex Legends and CS:GO gameplay are now witnessing him repeatedly fail in the chaotic world of Arrowhead’s co-op shooter.
The clip starts with him and his team fighting some Automatons. Shroud is shooting at the robots from a platform when suddenly, his teammate Chris, who presumably meant to throw a grenade at the enemies, accidentally blows up Shroud, eliciting some much-warranted laughter from the whole team.
Shroud asked for a revive, and his teammate immediately activated a Reinforce stratagem to get him back on the battlefield. However, the stratagem landed on another teammate, killing him in the process, delivering yet another round of laughter to the team.
Fun And Laughs Are Helldivers 2’s Key Ingredients
Despite the entertainment value, this isn’t a criticism of Shroud, but rather a revelation of the joy of watching a skilled player like him engage in Helldivers 2‘s frantic gameplay. The clip pulled decent numbers, racking up over 73,000 views on YouTube.
More than the streamer’s shenanigans, though, this clip is a testament to how fun Helldivers 2 really is. The game may have been plagued by server issues for a good 3 weeks after launch, but Arrowhead has fixed them now and the shooter sits comfortably high up on Steam’s most played charts.
In addition to Shroud, there are probably hundreds of thousands of amusing clips from players who have been subject to Helldivers 2‘s wonky yet joyous physics, with many believing that this simple, fun gameplay loop is what made the game earn its success.
Shroud’s clip reminds us that gaming’s best moments come from humorous fails, not just wins. Moreover, it is the perfect advertisement for Helldivers 2. The streamer’s 6.8 million-large subscriber base will see the clip and no doubt be tempted to play the game.
And why shouldn’t they? The core tenet behind Helldivers 2 is fun, and with Arrowhead working diligently to further improve server times, as well as add tantalizing future content, the game is set to see even more success.
