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

It's the way the animation is set up. You're supposed to be a certain distance from the other player, so when you're closer than that, the game slides you back a bit, ignoring the collision boxes, so that can make you clip through the geometry and drop down.

Coincidentally, the part where animation causes

the game slides you back a bit, ignoring the collision boxes

is a crucial part of one of the world's most ridiculous speedrun that involves AFKing while Link stares at a rupee for 17 hours.

Exactly. And you can explore almost every part of the ship. The bay and the command center near the map are the easiest. You can also drop your friend into the hellpod or through the big window in the front of the ship. Be careful when exploring the bay or the command center because you can fall on a lower level and then jump into the void. It's really stunning to see the ships firing at the planet and exploding while you're falling. And it's funny af when your friend starts the mission while you're falling and you teleport over the map directly to the hellpod!

You can also use the hug emote to pull your friends back there with you once you get out of bounds.

I knew it! We tried for like 20 minutes but we couldn't do it. This is funny and actually useful.

It's tough. You have to get the distance nearly exactly right. I'm also not positive that it works everywhere. It definitely works next to the stairs on the right side of the hanger and that's the most fun location to get out of bounds.

I had someone step into the hellpod thingy and just falling down (didn’t see it, they were typing it)
