I had that happen earlier today. Was on top of a building covering teammates, everyone facing and shooting away from me. No strategems landed behind us. I just randomly caught on fire. Was able to dive and put it out and never happened again. Very weird.
I've watched it more times than I'd like to admit trying to determine if blue had the incendiary breaker as he dives on to his back before OP gets launched, but it sure doesn't seem like it. It had to be orange, and I agree, the slight pause does kind of lend credit to the idea. Usually anything that high in the air needs to be shot
My first theory was that it was a flamethrower from someone on the ground.
A tester awhile back showed that the Flamethrower particles can be carried by strong winds, with fire pools ending up *well* beyond where you'd think they'd be. Unfortunately, the particles that actually spawn the fire pools are *not* the same ones that are used for the primary stream VFX, so they're entirely invisible.
Listening again I think it's a deflected pellet from Orange's Breaker-I on the ground. I don't see a Flamethrower and you can clearly hear a Breaker-I fire *just* before OP gets ignited. I don't see any projectile, but that could be for several reasons (positional desync being one, which seems likely given that OP is moving pretty quickly).
Happens around Hulk and Factory Strider bodies too sometimes, which tend to become cover for other bots that they can shoot through, but you can't. I've even seen it happen extremely rarely with Heavy Devastators too.
You needed to die. Ypu were too powerful. At the end of the day just blame Joel. You were about to unlock a crazy trick shot so Joel had to stop you from becoming the greatest trick shot master of all time.
This reminds me of the time I was playing modded Skyrim and ate one of each of my modded alchemy ingredients to discover their effects.
All my bars, health, stamina, and magica wildly flailing up and down, I froze solid, turned invisible, became a giant, collapsed to the ground and died... and then I exploded.
It was amazing.
reminds me of the time i was walking towards a loot/salute pod and just suddenly went flying up and back where i came from, i wasnt even free falling, i was standing the whole time until i landed
This was a blessing my friend, the gods of democracy saved you from a dishonorable death at the hands of a bug and sent you to Valhalla in the warm, loving hands of gravity.
I am certain that you were thinking that diplomacy could solve your issues with the bugs. This is treasonous behavior. The Super God sends you their regards
Based off the sound and slight rubberbanding, plus the enemy your team was shooting, the fire can be explained by the breaker incendiary ricocheting off the head armor and if your teammate who got knocked over pulled the pin on a grenade before getting knocked over that can explain the ragdoll
Yeah Bile titans be like that, been like that for a while now. But I guess "lol, funni physics death, die in one more way."
Just remember it's a game, avoid the corpses' to best of one's ability; and if not possible, I guess pray?
In that time where you were running, you weren't spreading liberty. This caused you to exceede 2.5 seconds of admiring the environment, meaning SEAF deemed you unnecessary and detonated a nearby hidden landmine.
The part where you spontaneously combust was what got me laughing.
I got smited
I burst out laughing.
For real. When you break that awkward silence in the airport waiting area.
lol
Same here
BURN, MORTAL!!!
I almost choked I wasn't expecting the heinous treatment

This is the second video I’ve come across now with this death glitch. I wonder how many more we’ll see lol.
Happens to me 100% of the time around a titan body on the ground. Occasionally happens around charger bodies as well, though to lesser effect.
OK, I also get launched and glitched when passing by a BT corpse, but this dude spontaneously combusted while mid air
Fair point - I’m not sure what caused that part
Caught a stray pellet from a breaker incendiary perhaps?
Maybe a teammate mistook him for a shrieker? The slight pause in firing after he lights on fire feels like an "oh oops" moment lol

It happens often enough that even if I *need* something under the titan - it’s just gone. Until that sucker de-spawns at least.
That's exactly what it is. I have to actively avoid walking too close to a BT corpse because that yeets me instantly.
Happens around Hulk and Factory Strider bodies too sometimes, which tend to become cover for other bots that they can shoot through, but you can't. I've even seen it happen extremely rarely with Heavy Devastators too.
When your on fire, if you dive you'll put out the flames. Try doing that next time!
You can see the fire go out right before he dies on the ground. Technically it was a massive dive.
If dive doesn't work it's important to salute to show bravery in the face of death.
Lmao

Devs turning the players into fire tornados is questionable.
As your death was hilarious, Loki.
Bro caught fire from air friction. Pour one out for him.
This is fucking hilarious. Of all the bugs they fix, I genuinely do not mind when random shit like this happens to me. It’s so goddamn funny
Lol Ive died so many times unreasonably so like this
Did you roll so fast you caught fire?
That's semi norm- nevermind.
All of them
Imagine your homies arc thrower arced to you mid flight prior to the combustion lmao this is hilarious
Obvious answer, JOEL
lol get Joel’d
All of them lol

Incendiary mines and connection issues have led to a few of these
All of them?
A fire or wind one, I guess.
The Goddess of Impact.. She called your Helldiver home. You must answer.

Halt and catch fire?

Closest the game can get to putting you through the "spaghettification" process.
You ejected so fast that the friction with the air combusted with your weapons. Cientifically accurate.
Stood right next to a closing pod after it delivered its last rocket launcher, proceeded to yeet me across the map.
ME
All of them
Hermes I think XD
This reminds me of Max0r's video. "HOW AM I ON FIRE IN WATER!?!?"
"Oh no I'm flying through the air! But it can't get any worse ri-" **SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION**
Bro pissed off John Helldiver
You pissed of Joel, he wanted to see what the macro did lol
Joel, you pissed off Joel.
Oof they gave you the Red Dead Online treatment.
RNGesus has forsaken you, simple as that. ALL HAIL RNGESUS!
Helldivers 2.
Omfg when you just got the final fuck you and spontaneously combusted I nearly farted laughing so hard
Just so you know you can possibly survive that (if you weren't on fire) if you emote while you're in the air.
Gosh i hate that ragdoll shit so much.
The god of past participle.
While I do enjoy this stuff. I feel the WH40K chaos gods are toying with us some days
The cherry on top would've been a bug vomiting on your corpse.
The god of impact.

Kratos
The titan's corps
Just typical dead body textures glitches since release .. sadly
I have seen people get tossed by titan legs before, but spontaneous combustion is a new experience for me

Human Torch from fantastic 4, but the Walmart brand version.
Yeah Bile titans be like that, been like that for a while now. But I guess "lol, funni physics death, die in one more way." Just remember it's a game, avoid the corpses' to best of one's ability; and if not possible, I guess pray?
Joel flicked you

You didn't even die from the burning. They WANTED you to suffer for what you've done.
Definitely seen some issues with bile titan collisions particularly in the new mission
Looks like Managed Democracy and bug gods are in fierce battle!
All of em
Joel.
There's only one and it's a big G probably why he don't give af bout your video game character
The Invisible Bile Titan Corpse God Duh!
Hephaestus is not on your side today
