An Unexpected Encounter with Bouncing Bugs
Helldivers 2 has offered players a thrilling experience of fighting off giant alien bugs, pushing the limits of cooperative gameplay. The game features various types of alien adversaries, but one Helldiver, excellently named fortyfourtomatoes, uncovered a rare species of Terminid that no player had ever seen before—bouncing bugs. This discovery, shared via a video on Reddit, showcased a bizarre physics malfunction where all enemy Terminids were bouncing as if on trampolines.
Details of the Hilarious Glitch
In the video titled “This is the most ridiculous bug I’ve ever witnessed,” fortyfourtomatoes filmed themselves fighting off a large cluster of these bouncing Terminids while awaiting extraction. The spectacle was equally amusing and perplexing as various species of Terminids, including hunters, spewers, warriors, and even armoured bugs, rebounded thirty feet into the air. A particularly memorable moment featured an impaler springing from the ground, its tentacles drooping as it soared into the sky. Despite multiple experiences of this bizarre glitch shared by other players, the root cause remains unknown.
Community Reactions and Speculations
The video gained significant attention on Reddit, drawing a mix of humorous reactions and nostalgic references to classic internet animations like Badger Badger Mushroom. Suggestions surfaced calling for this bug to be integrated into the game as a feature, with one user proposing a gravity modifier and another imagining a rubber planet. While such ideas are whimsical, they reflect the community’s desire to embrace the game’s inherent silliness.
Other Memorable Glitches
Helldivers 2 is no stranger to unusual gameplay bugs. For instance, one player experienced a glitch that gave them uncontrollable gas, ultimately leading to their demise. Another instance involved a player inadvertently catapulting a charger through a bile titan, resulting in an accidental yet hilarious kill. These glitches, while technically errors, contribute to the game’s unique and unpredictable nature, making each session an unforgettable adventure.
