In Helldivers 2, players have discovered a quirky bug that actually reduces fall damage when performing in-air salutes and hugs, a feature they hope Arrowhead Game Studios won't patch out. This bug occurs when players, instead of ragdolling, use emotes mid-fall, resulting in hilarious poses like salutes or T-poses. The community enjoys this bug not only because it's funny but also because it unexpectedly minimizes fall damage, possibly by repositioning the character's landing position. Some players even want this bug to become part of the game's lore, showcasing the determination and patriotism of the Helldivers.
