In a surprising turn of events, a player in Helldivers 2 stumbled upon the existence of hitboxes on the Eagle-1 model following a comical midair incident. While the game has seen numerous instances of Helldivers meeting their demise in various ways, one soldier's fate took a particularly amusing twist when they were propelled into the air and subsequently collided with the iconic Eagle Fighter.

The Galactic War in Helldivers 2 is known for its high casualty rate against the Terminids and Automatons, with millions of Helldivers expected to perish in each planetary siege. Deaths typically occur due to enemy attacks, friendly fire, or, as some newcomers have unfortunately discovered, unexpected collisions with transport ships like the Pelican-1.

A Reddit user named Apocryphea shared a video showcasing a unique demise during a skirmish with the Terminids. A physics engine glitch sent them airborne, leading to a collision with Eagle-1 providing air support. Contrary to expectations, the collision proved fatal, revealing the addition of hitboxes to Eagle-1's model.

Helldivers 2 Players Surprised by Eagle-1 Hitbox Revelation

The Helldivers 2 community was taken aback by the unexpected revelation, questioning Arrowhead Game Studios' decision to introduce collision mechanics to a seemingly noninteractive element like Eagle-1. Some users humorously speculated about the pilot's reaction to the incident, adding a touch of dark comedy to the situation.

The ongoing Galactic War continues to offer both poignant and amusing tales, with Arrowhead Game Studios promising more content for players to enjoy. Rumors even suggest a potential Helldivers 2 release for Xbox consoles, hinting at a fresh wave of recruits joining the cooperative shooter in the near future.
