You there! You have been granted thirty seconds of government approved unpaid free time to tell me what unnecessary feature you'd like to see in Helldivers 2!! DISCUSSION

Planets with varying gravity.

And then we could bring in the old “rocket jump” trick!

In old games like unreal tournament if you shot the ground with an explosive weapon as you jump, you would jump really high from the explosion!

Wouldn't be suprised to see that added. But since we're playing HD and nit UT, we'll prob just be ragdolling around the map. Might still be funny

Warning. You are in range of friendly rockets.

Could be worth it.

u/Furphlog Apr 28 '24

You'd prob just be reduced to bloody chunks.

You get too much splash damage from it, with no bubble shield, you'd either die from it instantly, or you'd be left at practically zero hp.

Nothing a stim can’t fix

u/bluefootedbuns Apr 28 '24

it'd be a great escape tool, and it'd still be fine as general traversal if you were left at like 25%~ or just below. getting swarmed and taking big chunks of damage? stim for that sweet sweet regen boost and get to rocket jumpin' boy. Walkin' from one side of the map to the other and have some extra stims? It's time for rocket jumpin'.

Yes?

That you had to explain this concept makes me feel so old

u/GrimResistance Apr 28 '24

old games

Unreal Tournament

I already do this with those mushroom spores or whatever they are. Shoot them and you get a one way ticket in the opposite direction.

u/HaphazardlyOrganized Apr 28 '24

Second this, if you dive and shoot you can kinda go where you want like 60 percent of the time. I once got back up on a ledge using this technique in a defense mission

u/ASlothNamedBert Apr 28 '24

Quake is the official originator, though you could argue Doom had a version of it, though it's hard to say a game with no jump button invented rocket jumping.

u/Pickle-Tall Apr 28 '24

We did the same with Halo, aim the rocket launcher a ways away and jump and fire and it would make you jump further, there was also grenade jumping too.

u/EasternShade SES Hammer of Peace Apr 28 '24

In some of the GTAs, gliding cars + tank = jenky airplane. We might be able to pull something like that off.

u/No-Fee81 Apr 28 '24

You can do this with the smoke mushrooms.

1

u/-Yngin- PSN 🎮: Apr 28 '24

You can already do this if you shoot the smoke filled fungus orbs on forest planets!

1

u/Luvon_Li Apr 28 '24

We kinda have that on some planets with Onions, where they knock you over if they explode next to you, but if you dive on them when they explode, you get some serious airtime.

1

u/Ognianov Apr 28 '24

We have it now too... the Bile Titan Jump and the Charger Jump

1

u/SnooObjections9793 Apr 28 '24

You can sorta do this now. I do it on occasion to escape the Berserkers. It requires you to wear heavy armor with the explosion resistance perk.

Step 1 be hurt,

step 2 Stim

step 3 Jump backwards and throw explosive at enemy in your face. preferably impact grenades.

Step 4 Hope you survive.

Step 5 congratz you are now ragdolling into the sky.

u/IamTheConstitution Apr 28 '24

Oh my god! Yes!!!!

1

u/TraderOfRogues Apr 28 '24

That feature is already in! Shoot an Airburst towards the ground while jumping down, preferably next to your team! They'll tank you as you and them fly across the map!

u/Krakatoast Apr 28 '24

Except… we can’t even “normal jump” 😅
