A Helldivers 2 player has finally found the culprit for one of the game’s most annoying bugs (aside from the Bile Titan) that has been plaguing fans since launch. It all has to do with giving themselves a health boost.
Helldivers 2 – Freedom's Flame Warbond has been bugged!
For months, players have noticed that their character would often simply slow down or stop sprinting for no apparent reason, leading to certain death at the hands of the bot or bug horde. Despite numerous patches addressing issues with Helldivers 2, this glitch has flown under the radar; but we may now be on our way to squashing it after players discovered the reason: your teammate was using a stim.
“Go play a game with a friend, injure yourself so you’re down to a quarter of your health, have your friend start sprinting, then use a stim,” the player who discovered the reasoning explained in a lengthy post shared on the Helldivers Reddit forum. It largely addressed an increase in issues and reported bugs after each update.
Another player then shared a clip of the bug in action, which seemed to confirm the theory. He noticed that his movements actually slowed down after a teammate used a stim.
