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!

Setting up your airstrike only to get ragdolled by something, causing your stratagem beacon to land next to you and your squad.

Damn that's such a core experience. Nicely remembered.

Having that squadmate who's about to die and drops a strategen at their feet to clear out the swarm (and whoever else is in the vicinity.)

It's me. I'm that squadmate. 😈
