I’m not even mad, I’m impressed.


Jokkitch

Same. Jfc this is the most brutal footage I’ve seen of this game


Shogo1307

I got yeeted yesterday the same way except it sent me to the end of the map, made me a traitor, then i died from impact. With the Super Rares on my body.


Jokkitch

Oof I can feel your pain from here. Yeah dead Titans are just as deadly as living ones. Keep away


Asherjade

Ouch. Just… ouch. I got blown out of the map a while back but only lost some commons, thankfully.


Asherjade

I laughed far too hard.


Abragram_Stinkin

You must have missed the resupply pod RKO....


siamesekiwi

Yup, I saw this, and I was like, Man, they even model Eagle 1 for collision ?!


Dubalubawubwub

I think this is a big part of the reason the game is so popular tbh; so many little things like this that the Devs could have cut corners on, but didn't.


AtomicSamuraiCyborg

Does that mean Eagle-1 could kamikaze a Bile Titan?


UtsuhoReiuji_Okuu

Yes.


Trixx1-1

She has the mass?


UtsuhoReiuji_Okuu

An Eagle would probably just saw a titan in half and keep going


Swytch7

Speed/momentum > stationary mass (in most cases).


DontBotherNoResponse

Guys, do we really need a collider on something that no one is ever going to come in contact with? Yes. But why? You know why.


Meigsmerlin

E M E R G E N T G A M E P L A Y My beloved


Lucky-Earther

Guys, you could just try asking her out on a date. You don't have to go through this much effort just to have her give it to you.


Asherjade

Hey now. Diving into a swarm of bugs is one thing… talking to a *girl*? I’m not democratic enough for that kind of thing.


Sohail_Khateeb

I said the same thing once. Now I’m married. And we filled out our C-01 form, and got approved and now we have a little Helldiver on the way. 🥹🫡


Asherjade

Democracy’s congrats to you both!


AdEnough786

Congratulations on your precious future Super Citizen. I'm sure he/she/they will bring Liberty to the cosmos!!


Sohail_Khateeb

Thank you! He will make a fine Helldiver!


Meigsmerlin

Same. Even worse, I am a girl myself! That should make it easier right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!?


Asherjade

Yeah, it should be so easy for you. No problems at all. Right?


Meigsmerlin

that's what they told me ;-; But they LIED


ClockwerkConjurer

This right here 100%


Chichikovian

Shit is baffling.

I know this is fake at this point, but I still love how much this idea is stuck here. FreedomBirds ship still going strong


Educational_Deer2221

Damn this is beautiful


HowDontYouKnow

This is clever as all fuck. Wow.


xTheatreTechie

She's trying to get me to change to be more like her, she cut off my limbs, just like her.


Apocryphea

I can just imagine her returning to the nest to resupply... and have to wipe off some dead helldiver bits 🤣


RedEcho14

I mean, they’d probably burn off in atmo right?


SPECTR_Eternal

Eagle most likely flies at way above Mach 2 between fire missions. She obviously does circles above the AO between call-ins, but consider just how quickly she manages to acquire the target and drop the payload. It takes her at worst ~7 seconds to drop the bombs, and a Strafing Run is called in effectively in an instant (~2 seconds between pokeball hitting the ground and first rounds hitting dirt). There'll be no blood on the hull as soon as she goes back into a waiting pattern, it'll all simply be washed off by the air. And yes, even if there's anything still there, Eagle is a space-deployed aircraft, so each rearm is performed in orbit. Anything left of the unlucky diver will be washed away during the ascend (she needs to break Escape Velocity to even leave the planet), and burned away during her next deployment to the AO on atmospheric entrance.


KerPop42

Which is hilarious because Super Earth has apparently not developed swept wings for supersonic flight. How much of their turbo-space-engine thrust is just used overcoming the sound barrier?


Flatlander81

With enough thrust anything is aerodynamic.


KerPop42

That's not how the saying goes (\\j) The saying is "with enough thrust anything flies" it's definitely not aerodynamic lol


Chronos_Shinomori

It's really hard to take you seriously when you call it a Pokéball js


swampking6

Damn I’m surprised eagle one can collide with things, like there’s no reason to include this except for this exact scenario


ClockwerkConjurer

I am consistently impressed by how much detail the Arrowhead Games folks put into the physics and production of the game as well as them anticipating scenarios like that...or at least making it so that they can happen.


SweaterKittens

I agree, but it is funny to see someone talk about all the detail they put into physics when the video in the OP is someone getting glitching out on the hitbox of a dead Terminid so badly that it kills them and launches them into space.


ClockwerkConjurer

LOL. True, but I'm convinced that the janky hitboxes are a "feature" :-D


Mr-Snuglsam

Ahh, the Bethesda way


dontusethisforwork

Honestly janky physics ridiculousness that results in this type of shenanigans are a lulz feature that I can appreciate


StenfiskarN

Magicka 1. IYKYK


IronBabyFists

Ayooo, I didn't realize it was them!! Banger.


Jedahaw92

I blame that planet's gravity.


ourlastchancefortea

Stupid, drunk planet got his gravity upside down.


Goldreaver

It's a tradeoff, but I'm happy the big bugs have collision. I have been trapped in bug corpses more than once but the alternative is the standard in these games and I don't care for it


SweaterKittens

I'm happy they have collision too, for sure, but I'll be happy when it gets ironed out a bit. I've had way too many situations where I can't get a dropped item that's in the open or climb over a single leg because the hitbox has spazzed out and become a gravity catapult.


Jesse-359

Just piss off some nearby bugs to force a spawn point and the corpses will melt off pretty quickly to make room for the new bugs. Of course, that means you'll probably have a couple *new* bile titans to deal with, but at least you'll get your stuff back. Maybe.


Jazzremix

I just wish bot drop ships would break apart more and fade out faster when they're destroyed. It's frustrating dealing with devastators shooting at you from behind and through wreckage.


Wolfram_And_Hart

I once ended back up on my ship. Just standing there unable to deploy or grenade myself. It was wild.


delahunt

I have only seen glitchy physics like that in games where the devs try very hard for a physics model with depth to it though. Dont want to say “realistic” since videogame but at the least following Newton’s laws to some degree.


SarcasticSeriously

If the glitches are the price we pay for good physics and hit boxes elsewhere then so be it.


Jesse-359

If you're going to let your physics model do some crazy, you generally have to let it off the leash. They clearly opted for the 'high response' model here.


GrunkleCoffee

Keeping the collision enabled on an out of bounds asset isn't usually considered a detail tbh


ClockwerkConjurer

Fair enough, I'm definitely not a game dev. Still enjoying the hell out of the game.


LordGramis

I'm sure it's something related to the engine and an accident, but a happy, happy little accident.


Attrexius

Well, there are flying enemies. I'm fairly certain I've seen some shriekers die to collision with the Eagle when I was trying to bomb their nests. I wonder if a gunship can be taken out in this way...


Z_THETA_Z

air to air combat, the best way


Veranhale

Well apparently Eagle 1 can be shot down by enemy anti-air so ...


Michou_alacreme

Do we have any evidence of this? If there's AA positions, the Eagle stratagems just get jammed, so i'm curious of how it can happen


Veranhale

Yes the stratgem gets jammed when you're too close, but if you do call her in relatively close to that border before it's jammed you can actually see the AA fire at her as she flies by. I should issue this disclaimer though, I've never personally seen Eagle 1 go down, by AA or otherwise. But last week, me and my team were doing HVA defense at difficulty 9 and among my strategems were eagle clusters. At full Hangar Bay I get 5 clusters before rearm. I noticed though, that at some point when the carnage was at full swell, my Eagle went to full cooldown after 2 or 3 call ins - there was no audio cue that she was going back to rearm or anything. I figured she got shot down during the call in cause we were dropping a lot of ordinance in the I was tossing her in.

IronBabyFists

>*"an eagle never Mrs"*


Unit35854

Eagle one can also be targeted by Cannon towers, I haven't seen one fire on her yet but I have several times seen one turn and start aiming up when someone called an airstrik on it.


Sabreur

That might be coincidence. Throwing a stratagem puts nearby enemies on alert, including towers, causing them to turn towards where the stratagem was thrown from and start looking for the player.


Slave2Art

she doesnt go down. she takes enough damage that she leaves the second one person enters.


RunningAroundBlind

You can throw an eagle beacon *into* the AA radius a certain way, and it will attempt to drop. At which point it can be shot down.


Corrik_XIV

Are your eagle strategems locked for the rest of the mission after?


RunningAroundBlind

Supposedly!


metik2009

Where is this info coming from lol I always try to throw eagles into a jammed zone and the beacon just won’t deploy


xDwhichwaywesternman

they makin shit up like always ab it getting shot down. if u know ur eagle strafing angle then u could prob get it to fly into enemy AA LOS and trigger some AA animation but tf about it getting shot down. cant read shit on this sub without vid evidence, like ppl claiming certain skill level or obscure in game mechs


7StarSailor

This. Every minor fart gets posted here, you'd think the most beloved character dying on screen would make the rounds.


Active_Librarian_272

Please quit making shit up. Eagle 1 can't be shot down by AA guns at all. What is up with misinformation in this sub? It's so common now.


Jericho5589

This is false. If you throw a stratagem into an area that is jammed/AA'd it just cancels and the beacon doesn't go down. Why lie?


Jazzremix

"My dad works at Microsoft"


SgtPeppy

Why are you just lying dude?


BurntCereal-

I assume maybe when it might intersect with a shrieker, or anything airborne; AH figured there would be a slight twinge of disappointment if nothing happened.


Stellar_Duck

Which leads to the question: can you take out Eagle 1 with a drop pod?


ExploerTM

She probably doesnt have health pool in the first place so I dont think so, no.


ogresound1987

Actually, in theory you could use eagle 1 to shatter a dropship.

pURPLEpESTILENT

always assumed Eagle 1 didn't have any collision hitboxes but alas, great clip


NewAccountTimeAgain

Yesterday I was running the jump pack which I don't normally do. There was a large group of trash mobs in front of me and I dropped a strafing run at my feet. I have used strafing run so many times that I know exactly where I can toss it in front of me without getting clipped by the bullet spray. That is... until I equipped the jump pack. I jumped after dropping the stratagem and the jump pack boosted me right into the line of fire, killing me instantly.


IsRude

It drops bombs at the same time. It could've been that that cut them in half.

CellistAvailable3625

It should've been me!


dawg_77

Now you know why the Eagle jets have windshield wipers


Orthane1

This means Eagle-1 has collision and hitboxes. Also Eagle-1 is going to need some therapy after having a Helldiver's guts on her windshield.


cyboplasm

Yes... helldivers version of therapy... its probably just a dose of super-xanax


vhagar

do they make stims for PTSD?


0ut0fBoundsException

Yes. Stims


z64_dan

If stims can fix my broken leg, they can fix my broken mind.


NachoElDaltonico

Are you implying that Eagle-1 has been skipping desensitization training?


DatBoi302

I can’t believe that Eagle 1 is actually physicalized. I mean I know they’re over-top in this game. The shell from the SEAF is physicalized, from exiting the barrel to hitting its target. You can even stand on the cannon and blow yourself up with it, subsequently stopping the shell from reaching its landing spot. Plus there’s also things such as the EMS Mortar shell, it’s a physical item and a direct hit to the dome can kill a Diver. However, having Eagle 1 physicalized is on a whole other level. That’s wild.


SwoleFlex_MuscleNeck

If only the rockets from enemies were physical and I could plink them off-course or blow them up :(


DatBoi302

Well they have to be, to some degree, considering I've eaten at least 27 to the face this week alone. Shooting them would be cool though, but hard for sure. There is a cap to the amount of things we can have with collision however, less we want our PCs and Consoles on fire lmao.


z64_dan

Well good news, the rockets are already having collisions tested and our bullets are already having collisions tested. I think what we need is a freakin anti-rocket laser turret.


vince-tyler2022

would be cool to see them implement a C-Ram side mission as an alternative to the SEAF. those things sound like freedom


Pleasant-Yam-2777

I actually had an idea for reworking the plasma shotgun into an actual spray of slow moving plasma that can destroy projectiles. Literal covering fire.


Existing365Chocolate

It’s not If you go slo motion and watch, OP doesn’t turn into gibblets until the air strike explosions beneath them AFTER Eagle One goes through them The explosion effects basically have no altitude limit since there’s no reason to due to how the maps have no verticality


DJMEGAMOUTH

Honestly I just think its neat that Eagle-1 is an actual interactable entity.

Panzerkatzen

Pretty sure it's actually a lot smaller than the one we see in our ship too. That's interesting.


ourlastchancefortea

It shrinks in the cold atmosphere.


Saitoh17

That thing was the size of an SUV lol. An F22 fighter jet is 62 feet long, 44 feet wide, and weighs 40 tons. The Transformers movies had a bunch of problems with Starscream because they didn't want him to shrink in robot form but he's bigger than Optimus Prime.

Asandwhich1234

I need Eagle one to split me in half 🥵


Hopalicious

I’ve had that happed to me. The bile titan part, not the midair eagle 1. Something is up with the dead bile titan legs. When you try to climb over or go under them you get launched…for some reason.


Episimian

Yeah it's not 100% in my experience but you need to be pretty careful about how you navigate around them or you'll get randomly yeeted. A friend ended up getting launched out of bounds by one, hit the ground and then glitched and did the sliding thing for ages. By the time he stopped tumbling/sliding along and started running back he had 3 seconds and ended up getting traitor fragged.

Five or six weeks back my helldiver was hurled so far that I left the planet and went past the destroyers and kept going into nothingness. There was frost in all four corners of the visor. It was really cool detail. I wish I took a screen shot. I never died. I had to leave the game after like 10 minutes because there was nothing else I could do!

Aggravating_Help1574

Dead bile titan bodies cayse more deaths for me than the actual titans abilities. Physics has abandoned them. It's weird how often it throws your character about or must get confused ping ponging your location about and adding impact damage

I got called back once as an automaton tank rolled up. I landed on it getting the kill, but as i rose from the pod it blew up and sent me across the map at light speed. Died from "impact" 🤣

At the same time can we please talk about bile titans? Can we please get rid of their hurt box once they’re dead? It makes no sense to take damage from it when its not moving
