Helldivers 2 was released 1 year ago on 2024-02-08. I can recall many defining moments during my time playing Helldivers 2 such as shooting a rock in the distance because it looked like a Charger or failing miserably at destroying a grounded Illuminate Warp Ship.

My favorite moment was completing the Dark Fluid Mission and getting swarmed by Shriekers during extraction.

    The first DSS or ital barrage mission was F U C K I N G insane, it was just a non-stop barrage all over the mission map and you would go 20 steps, die, rinse and repeat and somehow still complete the mission…even worse when the sandstorms hit.

    Rolling thunder in your skull with headphones, and probably low key PTSD to boot.

    It was glorious.

      I’m glad I was able to experience that before they took it offline.

      Just like experiencing a constant stream of bot drops on the Retrieve Essential Personnel objective before it went offline.

      It was madness.

        Yeah, honestly before the big update in August the bugs were kind of-in my head cannon- part of the randomness of war. You could have done everything right and board the dropshot to exfil and have it take off leaving you on the ground.

        One they haven’t fixed yet, and is my absolute favorite bug, is the RANDOM YEET (ALL CAPS).

        I used to be able to trigger it by stepping over a rocket devastator and getting LAUNCHED across the map to land outside (and die, with most of your samples irretrievably out of reach).

        It happens less often now but a couple days ago I actually witnessed a squadmate get yeeted…It was epic.
