Helldivers 2 must have dozens of these. Some off the top of my head:

  • Landing your hellpod on a teammate
  • Teammates landing on you
  • Whiffing a HE strategem throw resulting in friendly firing chaos.
  • Throwing a strategem on a rock you think is valid and watching it bounce into the army of enemies.
  • You and your team all auto climbing onto the supply pod.
  • Getting meleed and being flung half way across the map (and surviving somehow)
  • Clipping a small stone in the FRV resulting in the most dramatic crash imaginable.
  • Sprinting for the extraction while some dick deploys a 500kg far too early resulting in half the team not making it out.

Doubt this covers even 1/10th of the shenanigans that everyone has to go through.

Edit: Loving the contributions below!

-Lining up a rocket on an enemy only to have the invisible dead body of another enemy make it blow up in your face.

-being targeted by a sentry when there's seemingly no enemies around

-constantly getting tagged by guard dogs

  • Lining up a rocket on an enemy only to have the now visible <soon-not-longer-alive "partner" going in front of you and make it blow up in your face. And blame you for it
