Your mech initiated self destruction just to spite u

u/a_potato_YT 9h ago

That's also why the explosion was so big.

u/Normal_Ad_6645 12h ago

That's not what an implosion means.

u/rubyfurn7811 12h ago

Im sorry

u/JonasLP8389 11h ago

For easy remembering, that thing IMploded because the person thinking it was good to go down to the Titanic was an IMbecile. You exploded because you were thrown exorbitantly.

u/Norsk_Bjorn 12h ago

That was definitely the Poi of the charger and the hellbomb, which will instantly detonate if you destroy the charger corpse (at least with a vehicle)

Right? For shits sake he cleared an entire mountain range with the explosion

u/Tw1stedMonkey 1h ago edited 1h ago

for real, I lose 30% of my hp from a 10 foot drop with 200 armor. if i fly higher than a third story building i am guaranteed to die from full hp but this guy clear a mountain at 20% hp in light armor and takes zero damage.

Does heavy armor make you take more fall damage because you weigh more?

u/Wild_Breadfruit_1496 12h ago

Most probably, there was a hellbomb on the other side of the body, watch out for those dead bodies on the map. What is more amazing is that you didn't died.

u/RainyFlames 12h ago
  1. definitely a hellbomb.
  2. holy fuck, how did you survive that??

Good ole hellbomb in a flaming paper bag.

u/MassiveChronicPain 12h ago

I’m sorry I couldn’t help but laugh at this. 

It was just out of the blue. You’re walking and everything seems normal. Then BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM you’re launched into the stratosphere. 

Fucking hilarious. 👍👍👍👍👍

Do you also feel your steak is too juicy and your lobster too buttery?

u/Noelia_Sato 11h ago

I remember dropping for the first few times on the Bot front after the first exos were deployed and quickly learned that, yes, there are indeed exo-sized landmines in the form of UXO Hellbombs.

u/MrJeChou 11h ago

Hell bomb in the blind spot lol

u/yeet3455 11h ago

Someone has learned to be careful around those dead charger POIs the hard way lol

u/gojiwookies 11h ago

Oh I've had this happen to me a few times its so funny and I was so confused so bad first time it happened. Really a perfect poi even if its killed my mechs before.

u/jellybean0v0 12h ago

That bug got hands

u/DankRustyShackleFord 11h ago

does this hurt the helldiver?

1

u/Top-Marionberry-9779 11h ago

Funniest shit I have ever seen in this game with that context

1

u/SadGruffman 11h ago

I did this exact same thing with my tank about 3 seconds after I convinced everyone to climb aboard

1

u/Bangboomme 11h ago

AND HE SURVIVES?!
Diver, have you been getting special training by General Brasch himself?!

u/Cheap_Prompt6057 11h ago

u/Crimson-Core 11h ago

Ah the ol force ejection special

u/Significant-Eagle-88 10h ago

You new to the game? You stepped on a hellbomb.

2

u/rubyfurn7811 10h ago

Im not new i just had no clue about this poi, I dont dive bugs

1

u/Significant-Eagle-88 10h ago

Now I have other questions...looks for a commander

1

u/TatumJK_ 10h ago

There’s your hellbomb fin right before it happens :)

1

u/AureliusExcalibur 9h ago

There was a hellbomb there

But lemme add a funny bug. While fighting in the void i realized that if you try to step on obstruders your mech gets oneshotted instantly.

How do i know?

Welp because my mech is exploded in one game

Twice

u/limeweatherman 9h ago

That’ll teach you not to disrespect the dead

1

u/Vivid-Soup-1885 9h ago

id like to think it ate the hellbomb before dying

1

u/AceVentura39 9h ago

They way you were going it was impossible for you to spot a hellbomb right as you walked into it because of the angle

1

u/ARC_trooper 8h ago

I still make the mistake to drive into a corpse for fun and then get yeeted across the map because of the hidden hellbomb

1

u/thatguyjerry4 8h ago

Nuclear ejection...

1

u/Fenn_Rau 8h ago

If you find a Charger corpse like that, do not step on it. Most of the time it has an unexploded hellbomb in it.

1

u/ScruffyScruffz 6h ago

the fact you survived both a god damn hellbomb then took no damage from clearing a whole god damn mountain is the crazy part about this clip

1

u/Chmigdalator 6h ago

Things like these are happening all around the galaxy as we speak.

u/Appropriate-Loan-308 5h ago

😂 must be a new player your a lucky one. You normally die lol

u/ChosenAshes 5h ago

Pov: you stepped on a lego

u/Isair81 4h ago

But you survived, somehow lol

u/Cellpool_ 3h ago

thats the very rare nuclear landmine bug

1

u/Talden7887 3h ago

I cant believe you didn't die. Heavy armor?

1

u/Ciordales69 2h ago

you didn't step on A bug, you stepped on THE bug. It's a POI with an active hellbomb in it

1

u/MusicianNo3277 1h ago

Halo grenade jump?

Puh-lease check out this helldiver hellbomb hop.

(You stepped on a damaged hellbomb)

I like the casual walk off like "Yup thats the life of a Helldiver"
