A hilarious bug in Helldivers 2 left a team of players stranded after their escape ship abandoned them by being launched into space.
Helldivers 2 is undoubtedly one of the most popular games of the moment. The third-person co-op shooter has skyrocketed up the Steam charts, even beating out Rockstar’s GTA 5 in terms of concurrent players at the top. Players fell in love with the feeling of taking down hordes of enemies, all in the name of Super Earth.
In fact, the game has become so popular that even the developers told one player not to spend their last funds on the game because the servers simply can’t keep up with the immense demand.
And even when players enter the game, sometimes they may encounter nasty but hilarious bugs, preventing them from mining and completing their mission.

As one player demonstrated, calling a Mortar Sentinel Strategy while extracting might not be the best idea. Twitter user LilRayms and their team were about to extract, completing their mission with about 9 minutes to spare.
Well, they would have completed the mission if they hadn’t called a Mortar Sentinel to where the shuttle was landing. Doing so resulted in the escape ship being launched into space, where players could no longer reach it.
Did it come back?

Players were stunned by the bug, bursting out in disbelief and laughter at what they had just seen. While the glitch was hilarious, it meant they weren’t able to extract, as the ship eventually landed upside down outside of the combat zone.
With Helldivers 2 constantly being worked on by developers, it’s likely that bugs like this will be fixed over time. But that doesn’t stop it from being one of the wackiest and most fun experiences gaming has to offer.
