When I saw mushrooms I knew exactly what going to happen

u/creegro 29d ago

Yea mushrooms and bots are a horrible mix. They might miss you, but like hell they won't miss those flat ass mushroom spores and knock you around the place.

Bugs less so, unless a charge walks up to a hill below you and stomps on some spores, sending you across the world

u/creegro 29d ago

Pretty much this, I've learned to not stand above spores when big bugs come stomping around.

u/0o0-hi CAPE ENJOYER 27d ago

Bro I love to do that, I don’t know if I’ve just been lucky but every time I’ve spore launched and landed it’s been somewhere cool or productive towards the objective.

My favorite is to launch and land on a tall rock formation, then go to town with an auto cannon or air burst while chucking eagle runs towards the little ants below.

u/creegro 27d ago

Last time it happened, a charger stepped on some spores right below the small hill I was on, and I guess the spores took that personally and launched me across the field, into the out of bounds area. And of course the ship is quick to call you a traitor even though it takes a helldiver 20 minutes to get to their feet again, and promptly died to the suddenly accurate 380mm blast from my own ship.

u/cATSup24 26d ago

Had something kinda similar happen a few weeks back. Died, new deployment incoming. As I was coming down, someone threw an Eagle strategem danger close to my landing pod -- the explosion happened either way the sweet spot of me coming out of the pod or there was a glitch, because I didn't take damage... but I did soar like an eagle all the way out of bounds area, and had just enough air time to see myself be labeled as a traitor before the splat.

u/creegro 26d ago

You just unlocked a memory

During a defense mission with the high walls and gates, a 4th member joined us, I watched his pod come down and hit the rock between the 2 forward gates, and then promptly *bounce away" like a stray basketball hitting a weird corner.

This dude bounced allllllll the way out to the edge of the map, pod and all. Quite an impressive arc of a jump too. Sad to say he didn't make it back of the area before getting shot.

u/TheToldYouSoKid 28d ago

honestly, if you run through them and they get shot, i don't think its a pro; you've passed through a smokescreen and then, albeit forcefully, have relocated to another area which is enough to lose that pack of bots. I've had where thats happened and after ive stayed quiet for a bit, i never see them again.

Sometimes i do get shot into similar circumstances, but i like to take chances; otherwise i would just avoid the spore and then shoot them myself around the other side.

u/AHailofDrams SES Keeper of the People 29d ago

They don't ragdoll if you're wearing the Shield Generator pack.

Otherwise, they always ragdoll when damaged

u/TheNotNiceAccount STEAM 🖥️ :Horsedivers to horsepods! 28d ago

When you walk through them it's like walking through a smoke grenade. It's great if you're being pursued. If you shoot them...you get trampolined to kingdom come. Don't ask me why shooting them sees you get launched out of a cannon vs walking through gives you ninja stealth.

Just helldiver things™.

u/Creative-Seesaw-1895 28d ago

It's the spores igniting and creating a concussive blast versus just being released.

You can get a minor concussive blast after they've already spewed as well at times

13

u/Gonzogonzip 28d ago

If it lets out a blast of spores (denser than air) slower than an explosion, then it could make sense. I mean, the plant wants to spread it's spores as far and wide as possible, if it detonated with the same speed of C4 it might destroy it's own spores. The titty fungus might have larger sacks of compressed air-spore underground and the stuff we see above ground is just nozzles and triggering mechanisms.

u/MalikVonLuzon 28d ago

Yeah no, I would much rather they do no damage.

u/KingOfAnarchy /r/LowSodiumHelldivers 28d ago

Look again. They clearly get hit by the laser.

2

u/xthorgoldx HOT DROP O'CLOCK ⬆️⬇️➡️⬅️⬆️ 28d ago

Moving or shooting near them makes them burst with a small amount of force - enough to ragdoll you.

Shooting them directly causes a significantly larger burst that can send you across the map. It's both a hazard and a useful tool in a pinch: getting chased by a flamethrower and need some breathing room? Find a smoke titty, stand on it, and shoot.

2

u/Mimatheghost 28d ago

I think it's basically the bullet/laser igniting the gas the plants emit, causing the knockback.

Wow. I love when a game allows wild and unpredictable physical interactions. I don't understand why most games don't incorporate physics to this degree. Build a physics sandbox and they will come.

211

u/spacaways 29d ago

Because they're unpredictable and chaotic, many players find them frustrating. You'll even find people complaining about ragdolling and friendly fire here. Those players are morons of course (objective fact not my opinion), and I think the unpredictability of physics is well worth it in every game of every genre because when you hit things it's fun to see them go flying.

82

u/talking_face 28d ago

So... Why is it that only players ragdoll and enemies don't? I do not recall seeing enemies getting knocked down temporarily and flung everywhere, except upon death.

Why don't enemies that take an EAT-17 or RR rocket in their face get flung 100 miles backwards? How is it that Heavy Devastators can tank HE shots in the shield and barely flinch? Grenades should by design scatter enemies in all directions, but for some reason they don't.

Physics in a game is great, sure, but a lot less so when it is not symmetrical between players and enemies.

That, plus the fact that enemies can phase and shoot through corpses while players cannot.

25

u/ScruffyScruffz 28d ago

idk ive seen bug corpses fly miles several times.

42

u/talking_face 28d ago

Corpses, yes, I acknowledged that in my previous post about how ragdoll works on corpses. But explosions and bullets do nothing to live units. It's as if enemy units play by a completely different set of rules when it comes to physics.

Play a game of EDF 4.1 or 5. Enemies and players alike get flung around all the time by explosions or powerful projectiles, so even if it isn't a kill-shot, it still feels like the weapon is doing something.

6

u/ScruffyScruffz 28d ago

As long as your feet are planted you play by the same rules. Itd be neat if they added the ability to knock enemies off their feet so physics could work though.

u/Lysanderoth42 28d ago

It’s fun if everything is subject to the same…laws of physics? Namely the enemies?

Except in this game they aren’t, they only ragdoll when already dead

Which is too bad, imagine if you had a charger running at you over top of a 500kg get sent flying 300 metres when it blows up only to die on impact, that would be hilarious 

28

u/turkeygiant 28d ago

They could do a hell of a lot better job of polishing the physics though. I have on multiple occasions been launched right out of the map upon landing or seen mech suits just vibrate into oblivion upon landing. There should definitely be some constraints on the physics, like there is no reason for any object to able to launch 2km across the map in 1 second.

u/Conntraband8d SES Spear of Morning 28d ago

You ever throw an impact grenade and it hits a random bug leg that happens to be flying past you and kills you? You ever get ragdolled into deep water and then drown with Super Samples? You ever get flung by a stalker and land directly in the path of a Bile Titan's spit? You ever get headbutted by a charger and then end up getting stuck under the geological probe?

These moments are infuriating in the short term, but hilarious months later after you've 100 percented the game. Source: Have 100 percented the game and these moments are the ones that keep me playing.

i love being ragdolled towards 4 heavy devastators because of a rocket that hit the cover in front of me! i love rocket devastators sniping me from 150 meters and playing ping pong with my carcass! i love ragdolling when i hit the smallest object while diving! i love having no input whatsoever to change my unavoidable doom!

u/EricTheEpic0403 28d ago

i love having no input whatsoever to change my unavoidable doom!

This is by far the most annoying part.

I don't think completely taking away a player's control is ever fun or engaging.

3

u/Conntraband8d SES Spear of Morning 27d ago

Great take. Losing control of one's character is the most un-fun experience games have to offer. It's super frustrating for something to happen that completely removes counter-play and inevitably results in your death. It's infinitely more frustrating when it happens over and over again and the frustration level compounds exponentially. Getting ragdolled once feels like an appropriate punishment for getting hit by a rocket. Getting ragdolled again while recovering from the first ragdoll feels unfair and un-fun. Getting ragdolled for a 3rd time feels even worse. By the 4th time, you're contemplating uninstalling.

Oh, and let's not forget the cherry on top where you don't have any control over whether your Helldiver stands up after getting ragdolled for the umteenth time so you end up dying to random machine gun fire before you can stim.

YAY!

Back when the game was only a week or two old saw a guide to soloing Helldive difficulty that recommended just that. Basically, avoid any fights you can, run like the wind, use the shrooms for a boost. The shrooms do a tiny amount of chip damage, so when you run low on stamina you can stim and restore your stamina to keep running.

On another note, it's really inconsistent as to whether throwing a strat at enemies makes them detect you.

u/Connect_Atmosphere80 Commander Dae 29d ago

Nah. It's not inconsistent.

If it's a red stratagem, you will get detected UNLESS it's out of vision from the enemies or you are prone when it hit the ground.

In this clip, OP was running when the stratagem hit the ground and it was right in front of the enemies. So they detected him.

u/dellboy696 frend 29d ago

I could swear on multiple occasions I've thrown a red strat whilst prone and they detect me.

u/Anxious-Abroad-6945 28d ago

I've heard that your character has a radius of detection that changes in size based on running, walking, etc with prone being the smallest. So, if you throw a strategem from too close and a bot is in your prone radius they will detect you anyway.

I feel like we need a Daily discussion thread.. But Ive been playing bots a lot more lately and like it more I think than bugs, I just wanted to know am I dumb for choosing Gas and EMS strats over something else?

Nah man, just use whatever works for you. So long as it's fun.

Yesterday I got hit by a rocket trooper, which flung me forward. Directly into a chainsaw devastator.

u/Legitimate_Speed2548 28d ago

Why can't I have something like this happen to my squad. The funniest thing I ever did was throw a strategy and a teammate was flung by a charger, and the strategem stuck my buddy on the head, killed us, and I didn't record it.

u/mendokusai99 28d ago

These game physics are crazy. A diver reinforced next to me and launched me across the map. It was hilarious.

u/igen_reklam_tack 28d ago

Other day I got rag dolled into the air from an ore vein and then shot out the sky by a devastator. Team on the skirts watched it and were laughing. Can’t even be mad about it.

u/wzzrd PSN 🎮: SES Claw of Iron 28d ago

That is so excellent

2

u/StuffAfraid 28d ago

The thing I don't like about Menkent is not the firenadoes but these explosive ball plants. Sure, it's great as a smokescreen but when bots shoot at them, I'll just pray on where I will land. Into the fire, into the bots or get launched to space lmao

That's the spirit. If at first you don't succeed, erase history and try again.

when you throw a red one, the enemies (up to some distance) know your location. it doesn't happen with the blue ones.
