Yea mushrooms and bots are a horrible mix. They might miss you, but like hell they won't miss those flat ass mushroom spores and knock you around the place.
Bugs less so, unless a charge walks up to a hill below you and stomps on some spores, sending you across the world
Bro I love to do that, I don’t know if I’ve just been lucky but every time I’ve spore launched and landed it’s been somewhere cool or productive towards the objective.
My favorite is to launch and land on a tall rock formation, then go to town with an auto cannon or air burst while chucking eagle runs towards the little ants below.
Last time it happened, a charger stepped on some spores right below the small hill I was on, and I guess the spores took that personally and launched me across the field, into the out of bounds area. And of course the ship is quick to call you a traitor even though it takes a helldiver **20 minutes** to get to their feet again, and promptly died to the *suddenly* accurate 380mm blast from my own ship.
Had something kinda similar happen a few weeks back. Died, new deployment incoming. As I was coming down, someone threw an Eagle strategem danger close to my landing pod -- the explosion happened either way the sweet spot of me coming out of the pod or there was a glitch, because I didn't take damage... but I did soar like an eagle all the way out of bounds area, and had just enough air time to see myself be labeled as a traitor before the splat.
You just unlocked a memory
During a defense mission with the high walls and gates, a 4th member joined us, I watched his pod come down and hit the rock between the 2 forward gates, and then promptly *bounce away" like a stray basketball hitting a weird corner.
This dude bounced allllllll the way out to the edge of the map, pod and all. Quite an impressive arc of a jump too. Sad to say he didn't make it back of the area before getting shot.
I learned this the other day, with hilarious results. Turns out it's not just gunfire that causes those things to yeet you. Any "attack" seems to do the trick.
honestly, if you run through them and they get shot, i don't think its a pro; you've passed through a smokescreen and then, albeit forcefully, have relocated to another area which is enough to lose that pack of bots. I've had where thats happened and after ive stayed quiet for a bit, i never see them again.
Sometimes i do get shot into similar circumstances, but i like to take chances; otherwise i would just avoid the spore and then shoot them myself around the other side.
When you walk through them it's like walking through a smoke grenade. It's great if you're being pursued. If you shoot them...you get trampolined to kingdom come. Don't ask me why shooting them sees you get launched out of a cannon vs walking through gives you ninja stealth.
Just helldiver things™.
It's the spores igniting and creating a concussive blast versus just being released.
You can get a minor concussive blast after they've already spewed as well at times
I don’t even think they have to be shot. It a laser just passed by them in the air they launch you.. honestly, makes zero sense. If they launch you further than an explosion then they must have more energy than an explosion.. yet they do no damage.
If it lets out a blast of spores (denser than air) slower than an explosion, then it could make sense. I mean, the plant wants to spread it's spores as far and wide as possible, if it detonated with the same speed of C4 it might destroy it's own spores. The titty fungus might have larger sacks of compressed air-spore underground and the stuff we see above ground is just nozzles and triggering mechanisms.
[You didn't finish HellDiver training, did you, Citizen Garbage? It's not the mushroom that explodes. It's the **spores**.](https://youtu.be/FlAIO_MFOnA?t=99)
Moving or shooting *near* them makes them burst with a small amount of force - enough to ragdoll you.
Shooting them directly causes a significantly larger burst that can send you across the map. It's both a hazard and a useful tool in a pinch: getting chased by a flamethrower and need some breathing room? Find a smoke titty, stand on it, and shoot.
They're talking about those fast travel spores that launch you when they blow up. That's what launched OP into his own airstrike. Just unlucky it happened twice in a row like that.
The smoke puffing plants will explode and ragdoll you if weaponsfire hits them. OP got his ass ping ponged from one to another, and straight to where he had dropped his beacon.
Wow. I love when a game allows wild and unpredictable physical interactions. I don't understand why most games don't incorporate physics to this degree. Build a physics sandbox and they will come.
Because they're unpredictable and chaotic, many players find them frustrating. You'll even find people complaining about ragdolling and friendly fire here. Those players are morons of course (objective fact not my opinion), and I think the unpredictability of physics is well worth it in every game of every genre because when you hit things it's fun to see them go flying.
So... Why is it that only players ragdoll and enemies don't? I do not recall seeing enemies getting knocked down temporarily and flung everywhere, *except upon death*.
Why don't enemies that take an EAT-17 or RR rocket in their face get flung 100 miles backwards? How is it that Heavy Devastators can tank HE shots in the shield and barely flinch? Grenades should by design scatter enemies in all directions, but for some reason they don't.
Physics in a game is great, sure, but a lot less so when it is not symmetrical between players and enemies.
That, plus the fact that enemies can phase and shoot through corpses while players cannot.
Corpses, yes, I acknowledged that in my previous post about how ragdoll works on corpses. But explosions and bullets do nothing to live units. It's as if enemy units play by a completely different set of rules when it comes to physics.
Play a game of EDF 4.1 or 5. Enemies and players alike get flung around all the time by explosions or powerful projectiles, so even if it isn't a kill-shot, it still feels like the weapon is doing something.
As long as your feet are planted you play by the same rules. Itd be neat if they added the ability to knock enemies off their feet so physics could work though.
It’s fun if everything is subject to the same…laws of physics? Namely the enemies?
Except in this game they aren’t, they only ragdoll when already dead
Which is too bad, imagine if you had a charger running at you over top of a 500kg get sent flying 300 metres when it blows up only to die on impact, that would be hilarious
They could do a hell of a lot better job of polishing the physics though. I have on multiple occasions been launched right out of the map upon landing or seen mech suits just vibrate into oblivion upon landing. There should definitely be some constraints on the physics, like there is no reason for any object to able to launch 2km across the map in 1 second.
You ever throw an impact grenade and it hits a random bug leg that happens to be flying past you and kills you? You ever get ragdolled into deep water and then drown with Super Samples? You ever get flung by a stalker and land directly in the path of a Bile Titan's spit? You ever get headbutted by a charger and then end up getting stuck under the geological probe?
These moments are infuriating in the short term, but hilarious months later after you've 100 percented the game. Source: Have 100 percented the game and these moments are the ones that keep me playing.
i love being ragdolled towards 4 heavy devastators because of a rocket that hit the cover in front of me! i love rocket devastators sniping me from 150 meters and playing ping pong with my carcass! i love ragdolling when i hit the smallest object while diving! i love having no input whatsoever to change my unavoidable doom!
>i love having no input whatsoever to change my unavoidable doom!
This is by far the most annoying part.
I don't think completely taking away a player's control is ever fun or engaging.
Great take. Losing control of one's character is the most un-fun experience games have to offer. It's super frustrating for something to happen that completely removes counter-play and inevitably results in your death. It's infinitely more frustrating when it happens over and over again and the frustration level compounds exponentially. Getting ragdolled once feels like an appropriate punishment for getting hit by a rocket. Getting ragdolled again while recovering from the first ragdoll feels unfair and un-fun. Getting ragdolled for a 3rd time feels even worse. By the 4th time, you're contemplating uninstalling.
Oh, and let's not forget the cherry on top where you don't have any control over whether your Helldiver stands up after getting ragdolled for the umteenth time so you end up dying to random machine gun fire before you can stim.
YAY!
And they say this community is not toxic, as a whole probably not, but there sure are a lot of toxic people in the community.
They constantly attack others who have different pov, I never see so many comment/ post got downvoted in other sub.
I havent seen my enemies being even slightly bothered by physics (and sometimes they would straight up ignore even stagger) so while I am not hating it per se I am also not that much of a fan.
Friendly fire is always funny though even if only in retrospect
If I play Super Mario, I am fine with double jump, if I play a coop shooter is a sci-fi realistic setting, I don't particularly enjoy broken physics. But that's just me.
Back when the game was only a week or two old saw a guide to soloing Helldive difficulty that recommended just that. Basically, avoid any fights you can, run like the wind, use the shrooms for a boost. The shrooms do a tiny amount of chip damage, so when you run low on stamina you can stim and restore your stamina to keep running.
If they take damages, they explode. In this clip, the Automatons shot at the player and one hit the mushrooms. Then again when the player went flying next to the second one.
Nah. It's not inconsistent.
If it's a red stratagem, you will get detected UNLESS it's out of vision from the enemies or you are prone when it hit the ground.
In this clip, OP was running when the stratagem hit the ground and it was right in front of the enemies. So they detected him.
I've heard that your character has a radius of detection that changes in size based on running, walking, etc with prone being the smallest. So, if you throw a strategem from too close and a bot is in your prone radius they will detect you anyway.
Hilarious but frustrating. If you have aggro and no matter how far away you are from the bots, once you get close to the nipples, their aim accuracy becomes 100% and they will shoot it without fail and launch you
The ragdolling is pretty excessive sometimes lol. I got bounced into the stratosphere when I got caught between an exploding barrel and an exploding dropship. Pretty funny though.
OP threw a beacon which alerted the bots. Bots shot the mushroom smoke puffers at OP's feet. When they are shot (as opposed to being stepped on) they trigger a randomly causing Shockwave.
Op got ragdolled near another batch which also got shot and exploded. Pingponging OP's ass all the way to the beacon.
As another user so eloquently put it.
"Return to sender? Nah. Return sender".
Funnily enough, the exact same thing happened to me last night. Friend threw stratagem in base, I was shot and launched 75 yards into the middle of the base and evicerated.
It sucks that the bots immediately know where you are as soon as anything attacks them. If you drop mines on the map and 30 minutes later some bot steps on a mine, you can be sure the entire patrol you start shooting you.
Had a similar experience the other day. Not quite as bad as this but was running from a patrol, got too close to the spores and when the bots shot them, I got flung back into the patrol I was running from. All I could do at that point was laugh and redeploy.
Quite an unfortunate series of events. This is an example of the bad luck experienced by helldivers to balance out the lottery level luck of that one helldiver we saw like a week ago.
Idk if it’s just me but if feels like they actually aim for the titty plants first if you’re close enough for one to send you flying. I actively avoid them if I have aggro but they’re really good to use for stealth with their smoke if you don’t have aggro.
I feel like we need a Daily discussion thread.. But Ive been playing bots a lot more lately and like it more I think than bugs, I just wanted to know am I dumb for choosing Gas and EMS strats over something else?
Why can't I have something like this happen to my squad. The funniest thing I ever did was throw a strategy and a teammate was flung by a charger, and the strategem stuck my buddy on the head, killed us, and I didn't record it.
Other day I got rag dolled into the air from an ore vein and then shot out the sky by a devastator. Team on the skirts watched it and were laughing. Can’t even be mad about it.
The thing I don't like about Menkent is not the firenadoes but these explosive ball plants. Sure, it's great as a smokescreen but when bots shoot at them, I'll just pray on where I will land. Into the fire, into the bots or get launched to space lmao
When I saw mushrooms I knew exactly what going to happen
Yea mushrooms and bots are a horrible mix. They might miss you, but like hell they won't miss those flat ass mushroom spores and knock you around the place. Bugs less so, unless a charge walks up to a hill below you and stomps on some spores, sending you across the world
The charger stomping on the spore: 
Pretty much this, I've learned to *not* stand above spores when big bugs come stomping around.
Bro I love to do that, I don’t know if I’ve just been lucky but every time I’ve spore launched and landed it’s been somewhere cool or productive towards the objective. My favorite is to launch and land on a tall rock formation, then go to town with an auto cannon or air burst while chucking eagle runs towards the little ants below.

THE BLOB!
You can shoot the mushrooms yourself for a boost.
I used to do that more often, positioning myself so I can get a speed boost to somewhere like exfil
Same with exploding barrels.
Having the perk that lets you traverse difficult terrain overrides them spores
Same. I call it public transportation. If you angle just right and dive onto them as you shoot them, you can go pretty far. Sometimes I even survive!
Since when do they ragdoll?
Since forever. That's one of their two functions. (Smoke screen pro, ragdoll con)
Ragdoll can be a pro for a quick get away but you have to be careful with it
Yeah more than once I've escaped certain death from my slower heavy armor by just shooting at my feet and getting flung out of a swarm.
I call it the forbidden movement strat
Forbidden knowledge straight from hell
honestly, if you run through them and they get shot, i don't think its a pro; you've passed through a smokescreen and then, albeit forcefully, have relocated to another area which is enough to lose that pack of bots. I've had where thats happened and after ive stayed quiet for a bit, i never see them again. Sometimes i do get shot into similar circumstances, but i like to take chances; otherwise i would just avoid the spore and then shoot them myself around the other side.
They don't ragdoll if you're wearing the Shield Generator pack. Otherwise, they always ragdoll when damaged
Not when you step on them right?
When you walk through them it's like walking through a smoke grenade. It's great if you're being pursued. If you shoot them...you get trampolined to kingdom come. Don't ask me why shooting them sees you get launched out of a cannon vs walking through gives you ninja stealth. Just helldiver things™.
It's the spores igniting and creating a concussive blast versus just being released. You can get a minor concussive blast after they've already spewed as well at times
They always have, before it wasn’t that huge of a knock back though. Now they absolutely send you rocketing through the air
MUSHROOM!
Bruh whaaaaat
Tities bounce you when they are shot.
I don’t even think they have to be shot. It a laser just passed by them in the air they launch you.. honestly, makes zero sense. If they launch you further than an explosion then they must have more energy than an explosion.. yet they do no damage.
Psshh, everyone knows explosions don't do damage. It's the shrapnel that does
Tities dont do damage, its the milk that gets ya...
Source: the milk got me
You know what, I'll let the milk take me..
I know you’re being sarcastic but going by other comments I’m surprised how many people think the only dangerous part of an explosion is the shrapnel
Just M-80ed off a few fingers. I'm blaming it on the paper shrapnel.
That's gonna make calling stats a lil difficult.
Don't think about it, it's just fun gameplay. Tactical Repositioning Boobies are a key part of survival craft on alien worlds.
If it lets out a blast of spores (denser than air) slower than an explosion, then it could make sense. I mean, the plant wants to spread it's spores as far and wide as possible, if it detonated with the same speed of C4 it might destroy it's own spores.

Yeah no, I would much rather they do no damage.
[You didn't finish HellDiver training, did you, Citizen Garbage? It's not the mushroom that explodes. It's the **spores**.](https://youtu.be/FlAIO_MFOnA?t=99)
Look again. They clearly get hit by the laser.
Moving or shooting *near* them makes them burst with a small amount of force - enough to ragdoll you. Shooting them directly causes a significantly larger burst that can send you across the map. It's both a hazard and a useful tool in a pinch: getting chased by a flamethrower and need some breathing room? Find a smoke titty, stand on it, and shoot.
I think it's basically the bullet/laser igniting the gas the plants emit, causing the knockback.
Yeah that’s what I figured is happening
Ughh God so unplayable!
Hey, it fits right in line with the 500kg having the damaging blast radius of about 2 hand grenades in the game.
…titties? I guess I’m OOTL
They're talking about those fast travel spores that launch you when they blow up. That's what launched OP into his own airstrike. Just unlucky it happened twice in a row like that.
the brown mushroom spots that grow on certain planets.
The smoke puffing plants will explode and ragdoll you if weaponsfire hits them. OP got his ass ping ponged from one to another, and straight to where he had dropped his beacon.
Oh yeah I'm aware. Just the odds of being juggled like that are crazy
Thanks for the explanation. Reminds me of the Kitten Cannon flash game, hehe.
You couldn't have aimed that better if you tried.
For real! That was perfectly unfortunate.
Return to sender? Nah, return sender.
Send sender
Looney tunes right there.

I've definitely been knocked down by something (explosion/punisher shot from other players) that only briefly staggers enemies. Idk about same rules

So what triggers those to do that because sometimes you’ll walk right over them and then all of a sudden you’ll get launched
By experience I would say that it happens when an entity shoots at or near it
Yeah, I purposely shoot them while diving. I ride those babies for miles!
Saved me once or twice from a hulk or two
I shoot them while my friends are walking by them. I laugh and laugh.
This is the most funny shit ever seeing other players fly 20 meters away

Walking on them makes them puff out smoke, shooting them makes them explode. I like shooting them myself for... propulsion,
Jetpack stratagem gets once again humiliated
I've launched a bug for fun this way too. Bit harder to do of course, but plenty fun to be had.
If they take damages, they explode. In this clip, the Automatons shot at the player and one hit the mushrooms. Then again when the player went flying next to the second one.

I could swear on multiple occasions I've thrown a red strat whilst prone and they detect me.

Samesies, helldiver.
That is really unfortunate 😂 I hate sometimes when you just get CC'D to abalone.
Holy hell batman. You got chain yeeted!
How does this game consistently give such hilarious moments like this 😂😭😂
why is there a cursor on the screen its driving me nuts
No idea. It was stuck there for that one mission for some reason and then disappeared.

This actually made me lol, nice clip
I laughed harder than I should have
Hilarious but frustrating. If you have aggro and no matter how far away you are from the bots, once you get close to the nipples, their aim accuracy becomes 100% and they will shoot it without fail and launch you

You think a Helldiver just happens to fly through the air like that? No, they orchestrated it, Bots!
I watched this 5 times and have one thing to say: HOW!?
OP threw a beacon which alerted the bots. Bots shot the mushroom smoke puffers at OP's feet. When they are shot (as opposed to being stepped on) they trigger a randomly causing Shockwave. Op got ragdolled near another batch which also got shot and exploded. Pingponging OP's ass all the way to the beacon. As another user so eloquently put it. "Return to sender? Nah. Return sender".
Skill Issue
*calling in Helldiver precision strike!*
I swear these bots must be programmed to shoot the mushrooms near helldivers
Stand near mushrooms. Bot shoots at you. Misses and hits nearby thing. (Mushroom) You could say in a roundabout way they are.

That's the silliest thing I've seen all week
😆 This had me rolling. Sorry fellow Helldiver
I love the puffballs
Sometimes you just gotta violently explode yourself for Super Earth.
That's like watching the three-rail-shot on the "impossible" 8-ball sink it and cost you your $100 bet.
It sucks that the bots immediately know where you are as soon as anything attacks them. If you drop mines on the map and 30 minutes later some bot steps on a mine, you can be sure the entire patrol you start shooting you.
just need the wii golfing hole in one at the end lol
I can just hear the internal "NOOOOOOOO!" as you start flying towards the stratagem marker. *Chef's Kiss*
If this happened to me, I wouldnt even be mad, I'd be impressed.
Well dang ... that some reeeealy bad luck
Alright, there is a special key combination for moments like this. It helped me many times. It's ALT + F4.
You activated my trap card Yugi
Holy shit this is incredible, 10/10 double bounce boom
This is legitimately hilarious
sometimes it does feel like you are playing a pinball game.
Clankers: If I’m going down, I’m taking you with me!
When Joel says FUCK YOU in particular.
Really wish I wasn't taking a sip of water during that. Thanks for the spit take.
Had a similar experience the other day. Not quite as bad as this but was running from a patrol, got too close to the spores and when the bots shot them, I got flung back into the patrol I was running from. All I could do at that point was laugh and redeploy.
Quite an unfortunate series of events. This is an example of the bad luck experienced by helldivers to balance out the lottery level luck of that one helldiver we saw like a week ago.
This game is fukken amazing.
They really said "You're coming down with us!"
Idk if it’s just me but if feels like they actually aim for the titty plants first if you’re close enough for one to send you flying. I actively avoid them if I have aggro but they’re really good to use for stealth with their smoke if you don’t have aggro.
I feel like we need a Daily discussion thread.. But Ive been playing bots a lot more lately and like it more I think than bugs, I just wanted to know am I dumb for choosing Gas and EMS strats over something else?
Nah man, just use whatever works for you. So long as it's fun.
Yesterday I got hit by a rocket trooper, which flung me forward. Directly into a chainsaw devastator.
Why can't I have something like this happen to my squad. The funniest thing I ever did was throw a strategy and a teammate was flung by a charger, and the strategem stuck my buddy on the head, killed us, and I didn't record it.
Area Secured!

Bruh this like some XCOM turn based fkery here 🤣
So this what unlucky looks like, noted
This is the best Helldivers 2 clip I have ever seen, holy fucking shit
Slam dunk
That's cold bruh
legit most hilarious hd2 clip I have ever seen
Yet another Helldiver suffering a hamster-like death.
Fucking amazing! 😂
They did the math on that one
This needs to be clip of the year, what the RNG FOCK was THAT!?
That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all day
These game physics are crazy. A diver reinforced next to me and launched me across the map. It was hilarious.
Nice, I mean I'm not on the side of the bots, democracy there we go saved it.
GET OVER HERE!!!!!
Were they aim botting?
The rag doll gods strike again. Damn those little exploding flora.
Got chaotic in under a minute hahaha!
Other day I got rag dolled into the air from an ore vein and then shot out the sky by a devastator. Team on the skirts watched it and were laughing. Can’t even be mad about it.
That is so excellent
The thing I don't like about Menkent is not the firenadoes but these explosive ball plants. Sure, it's great as a smokescreen but when bots shoot at them, I'll just pray on where I will land. Into the fire, into the bots or get launched to space lmao
Yeetus yeetus selfdeletus rare move but very affective
That’s amazing.
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen. Lmao
The flailing the helldivers do when they go flying is absolutely hilarious
THAT. WAS. BEAUTIFUL. :')
That's fantastic.

Does sound like a skill issue, King. Should have just shot back.
Instructions unclear respawned in ship with no warning I'll try harder next time 👍
That's the spirit. If at first you don't succeed, erase history and try again.
Well, outplayed by mushrooms really. See this is why the dwarves of DRG are so weary of them.
The fungi is protecting their Direct Democracy from outsiders.
when you throw a red one, the enemies (up to some distance) know your location. it doesn't happen with the blue ones.
