00:00 Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're taking a look at 10 of the dumbest, most absurd,
00:18 and funniest ways to die in Helldivers 2.
00:40 Friendly Fire Friendly Fire is both a blessing and a curse.
00:51 If one of your buddies is being annoying, taking them down is a good way to put them
00:55 back in their place or maybe even open you up to some salty revenge.
00:59 In Helldivers, it can be both.
01:01 However, when it's time to get serious, you can still easily get your teammates killed
01:06 if anyone strays directly into your line of fire.
01:09 If you're not paying attention to where everyone is, don't be surprised if your fit of panic
01:14 causes you to eat your friend's bullets.
01:25 Sentry Fire It isn't just your friend's bullets you
01:34 have to worry about.
01:35 Some of the stratagems you can unlock will let you summon turrets.
01:39 These can be exceptionally helpful when placed in the right spots and give you some additional
01:43 firepower if you find yourself overrun by bugs or robots.
01:47 But remember, Helldivers' claim to infamy is the friendly fire.
01:51 This applies to turrets as well.
01:53 Should you stand in front of a target the turret is aiming at, prepare to be peppered.
02:06 Deploying Mines Speaking of pepper, one of the best and funniest
02:18 stratagems to use is the Anti-Personnel Minefield, or as I like to call it, the Pepper Spray.
02:24 Once deployed, this machine sprays mines in a wide, wide radius.
02:30 Problem is that these mines are so small and blend into most environments so well that
02:34 it can be easy for you and your teammates to run right into one of them if you aren't
02:39 paying close attention.
02:40 What's even more hilarious is when someone forgets you deployed mines and blows themselves
02:45 up on their way to extraction.
02:47 If you use one of these pepper sprays, don't be surprised if you get yelled at later.
03:00 Respawns We are no strangers to spawn fragging.
03:13 Back in the days of Quake, dying because someone spawned on your position was a rare but hilarious
03:18 occurrence.
03:19 In Helldivers 2, you need to watch where you're choosing players to respawn.
03:23 Your troll of a friend might get the bright idea to land right on top of you.
03:27 Sure enough, getting smashed on the head with a helipad will kill you.
03:31 In other words, spawn fragging is back and with more intent and possibility than it ever
03:36 did before.
03:47 Extraction Ships Normally games just shove you out of the way
03:59 when vehicles or objects are on a fixed path and need to reach a certain point you're
04:04 blocking.
04:05 Helldivers 2, as we've seen already, is not like most games.
04:08 When you have waited two minutes for extraction to begin, you better watch your position.
04:13 Getting caught under the hull or wings of the extraction ship will kill you, and if
04:18 everyone has already boarded, then you will be left behind and labeled as failed to extract.
04:32 Getting Max Payne One mechanic that can occasionally come in
04:46 handy is the ability to go prone.
04:48 While this doesn't really give you room to use stealth, it can let you escape from
04:52 a charging enemy.
04:53 Just one problem, this mechanic can bite you in the ass.
04:57 If you go prone while running, you will leap into the air and land on your front or backside,
05:02 and if you manage to leap off a certain height, you will take fall damage and go into a ragdoll
05:09 state.
05:10 What are the chances of you dying from fall damage?
05:12 Well, they are low, given there aren't too many heights to climb and jump from, but if
05:16 you're at low enough health and you do die from leaping off a rock, you have no one to
05:22 blame but yourself.
05:31 Swimming Now, we don't expect every game in the universe
05:42 to let you swim.
05:44 However, this is just ridiculous.
05:46 In one of our missions, we explored one of the many icy areas of the arctic wasteland
05:51 of a planet, Heath.
05:53 We stumbled upon a small pond, to me, that seemed swimmable.
05:57 It took no more than 10 seconds for my guy to drown.
06:01 Yes, swimming for even a fraction of a minute can get you killed.
06:06 What the hell, man.
06:08 A badly placed orbital strike.
06:15 Orbital strikes can really come in handy when clearing nests in one move.
06:19 Thing is that not every one of them is created equally.
06:23 Some are pretty good about concentrating their firepower where you've thrown your beacon,
06:27 others not so much.
06:29 Some orbital strikes, like the orbital 120mm HE barrage, will shoot around the beacon rather
06:36 than the center, or they will shoot at the center and just choose some random spots within
06:41 a certain radius to bombard you with.
06:44 In other words, you're going to want to chuck this beacon as far away from you as possible,
06:49 regardless of what orbital strike you have coming your way.
06:53 Just don't chance it.
07:02 Forgetting to reload.
07:12 Another facet of Helldivers 2 that makes it harder than most shooters is how you reload
07:16 your weapon.
07:17 It is important that you remember to manually reload and make use out of every single bullet
07:22 you have.
07:23 Should you reload while bullets are still in your clip, well, say goodbye to those remaining
07:28 bullets.
07:29 They gone.
07:30 Just imagine the loads of people who blasted through their ammunition during their first
07:33 or second mission and forgot to call in resupply.
07:36 Yeah, there are most likely some people out there who really don't want to admit that,
07:40 but we know you're out there.
07:52 Hell Dive Difficulty.
08:05 In order to unlock missions at the hardest difficulty, you will have to play and beat
08:10 missions on the hardest difficulty available.
08:13 So you will start at easy, then you'll go to medium, which will unlock challenging,
08:17 which will unlock hard, then extreme, suicide, impossible, and finally, hell dive.
08:23 Under this difficulty, enemies are armored to the core.
08:27 Enemies are bigger and hit harder, and you'll be making frequent visits to death's door.
08:32 If you think you can just waltz in with any gun and loadout you feel comfortable with,
08:36 you got another thing coming.
08:38 Buck up, get the best stuff available.
