It ran over what I like to call a "tree urchin". It's a tree which looks like it's covered in sea urchins. If you try to walk through one, it's like moving through concertina wire. If you shoot it, it blows up like a shrapnel bomb. Charger must have done enough damage to it to blow it up.
@@snail1635Those plants got a damage buff in a recent patch. Also, remeber when the eruptor had shrapnel? It could kill a charger with a few shots placed under the belly. The fire volcanoes introduced in the new biome can kill titans, so it's not outlandish that prickly plants are meant to kill chargers. Not to mention, the unexploded hellbombs are an even more obvious example of the devs giving us opportunistic weapons.
@@snail1635 The blue lines are caused by the shrapnel piercing the juicy bits and "ricochet" back into the body for massive damage because it pierces the tissue/organs and hits the armor. Try it out yourself with a laser cannon! You'll see the laser get a blue line when it can't penetrate the armor.
@@snail1635 Also, normally a charger would hit that prickly plant with a leg or its face, and the hitbox of the shrapnel coming out wouldn't be under the body, where here it got ramped up to be about waist height with a helldiver, thus exposing the underside to the full explosion of thistles! :D Just an observation of a one of a million incident.
If you slow it down and look closely, the thorny plant that the charger ran into blew up. The "blue beam" is shooting out from the bush, away from the charger. I'm not sure why it died instantly. Probably some shrapnel shenanigans that we don't quite understand.
I like to imagine that Joel or some AH devs in general are just randomly joining our missions as invisible toons and just laser-snipe mobs when bored to keep the Illuminate conspiracy going within the community. And for fun.
It’s literally just one of those spiky plants. not the blue glowing ones, but this not well-known spiky plant and it does make this weird blue laser color. Trust me, I was confused at first but if you hit those they go flying and will kill you. They also damage mechs and cause them to explode. They should honestly remove it because then people make silly explanations and theories like this when in reality all it takes is some game knowledge to understand it’s not illuminate lasers
Look closely at the rock he collides with, one of those thorn bush plants was on it and exploded when he touched it. They make blue flashes like that when destroyed
@lafayettemclaren5195 I'll admit the beam looks weird, but if you go frame by frame it seems to come from the bush. And yes these things make blue flashes when they break, go find one and run into it with a exosuit
not quite, in helldivers 1 (which i didn't play, so correct me if i'm wrong) it was just another faction to play against. I think these blue lasers that everyone is seeing is just hinting at the fact that they are coming back.
Take heart! Imagine for a moment, your a squi'th [No, you can't commit suicide, the ministry of truth has approved this question.] Do you believe, that an enemy of democracy would *quietly sit aside and watch?* Nay. Even worse- *Assist us?* They *Despise us.* The idea of them doing anything but slaughtering entire colonies of people is laughable, yes. They can use stealth technology. Yes, they have perfect teleportation. No. They don't tolerate humans enough to *assist us* instead, *If* they were to exist [as the ministry of truth says they don't.] They'd reveal their hand by the body count.
2 weeks ago we were playing with a friend and my SSSD fell under the map which meant that it teleported back to the place so he ran for it and at the same time I was defending that place and there was a Bile Titan there and I was on the rise but because of automatic shifting during sprint I accidentally jumped on it and suddenly after that it exploded and I died from it together with the Titan, the strangest thing is that I didn't use any stratagem or anything like that and the Titan itself was untouched and my friend couldn't do it because he ran for the disk
The Illuminate snipers in HD1 could insta-kill you. Thankfully there was usually a warning to indicate where they were going to fire. I wonder if this is a test to see how they’ll work in HD2.
I had this today too! I thought it maybe counted the attack as a shot or something and played that blue ricochet animation upon hitting a rock? But it doesn't make sense when you think about it. Terrain doesn't cause blue ricochets, for example. There's its unlikely to glitch out like this.
On specific planets there a a specific type of bush that when hit by any form of damage will explode and more often then not kill anything caught within it instantly and when a charger gets shot by anything that can’t penetrate its armour those projectiles will create blue sparks on its armour. So it was probably the plant unfortunately
Sometime ago I was playing and I was alone, separated from my group facing down a charger. Then I noticed something was causing damage to the charger, something I couldn't see. No muzzle flashes or anything. Just visible damage appearing as I observe the charger trying to get me. Has anyone else had something similar happen? I like to think it was guardian angel Joel or an unknown enemy/ally
that gun you we're using has a habit of creating weird deflections that manifest as blue beams, i've seen it happen in other clips. though it sounds insane, could it have been one of your deflected shots from earlier?
Nope, sorry, you've to watch it in 0.25x: The charger hit that rock frontally & very hard. This led to blue lighting effects in the vicinity of the charger's cranium, shortly sparks appear & finally a beam of light shoots out FROM this region (remark: it appears instantly, i.e. no movement visible, but it seems to lose intensity in an outward bound direction & in regard to the prior lighting effects an outward bound source is more logical). So, maybe the charger hit its head too hard & cracked something "explosive", like in a flint stone? *lol* Don't think ARROWHEAD implemented such a mechanic, but that needs to be tested ;P

It died before anyone could shoot it idk what happened
you have been blessed by The Illuminate
I’ve seen chargers kill themselves by running into walls, I’ve even seen them take out bug holes doing it too.
Play this on .5 speed and you’ll see that it also hit a blue plant. You can see the brush fly off it

It's a tree which looks like it's covered in sea urchins.

Charger must have done enough damage to it to blow it up.
@@themarlboromandalorian some of the shrapnels must have bounced of the armore
Frame by Frame that was a shrapnel explosion under its thorax.
Caused by the prickly plant it ran over and destroyed!
Why did it die then?
Not to disagree with you, but i'm still confused.
If killing a charger were that easy I'd be doing this all the time

@@snail1635it has an explosive value, my friend hit it and died. cant you just go to the planet and see for yourself omg
Must’ve been the wind.
Blue beams usually strike from the sky, this one was planetside😱
Illuminate have cloaking tech
nah fake information, it's just the game and it's bugged cactus that can kill you in one hit too, makes sense since it's this planet lol
Nah Planetside is a different game😂
@Patrick-vv7cn lol nice one
I've seen
them from ALL directions
The blue 'beam' is a richoete from the plant.
Trust me, when the Squ'ith come back, they aren't going to be *Perfectly subtle* about it.
yup
Oh that was just General Brasch throwing a resupply
@@blakereed92 ooooooooh
That makes sense 🤦♀️
I forgot grandpa told me illuminates have invisibility technology.

Damage over 9000 what the dev would tell you
Yes and the "blue beam" isn't a beam it's just the vfx when a projectile ricochets off the shell
Ah shoot he’s right
Echoes of the old eruptor
slugcat pfp spotted
I used to see blue beams and assume something fishy but learned it’s often from things like plants, collision with certain bullets, or shrapnel.

Iv recently seen blue things swimming through the air on one planet too.
@hadrurus01 I've seen that too, but i think its just local wildlife :3

Blue flashes with a beam projectile?
Wrong
Wrong.

Oh, so illuminate is actually faction vs all other factions and it resides at random planets now.
not quite, in helldivers 1 (which i didn't play, so correct me if i'm wrong) it was just another faction to play against. I think these blue lasers that everyone is seeing is just hinting at the fact that they are coming back.
You're so good at liberty delivery that the planet has joined your side!

I got killed by unknown the other day.. blue flash dead...
The illuminates are coming!

Those things were the worst, especially on higher difficulties, I really hope they never come back.
Notice theyre only seen in bug territory
Obviously Muad'Dib with a lasgun

That “Blue Beam” is just the deflection effect from when you shoot at armor that’s too heavy
The dude smashed his horn into his brain. The flash was it chipping off the rock.
I had the same laser shooting at Bile Titan while i was playing with friends
The illuminate are comimg...
now i see its deffinitly the prickle boom boom plant

Rocks have projectile weapons!
TH-camrs: ILLUMINATE UPDATE + MASSIVE LOSS
They are getting more and more common. they really dont like walker mechs.
It looks like shot deflected from armor, some bug probably
Those are C beams coming from the Tannhauser gate.

ran into uranium or smth idk

I never once shot at the charger with my scorcher. As other comments said, it was probably just plants, but idk.
Are they in our side?
Sorry that was me. Sneezed and that came out
A hidden Illuminate shot it (trust me this is true my dad is john helldiver)
It’s the plant of anyone was wondering
Interesting...
I think that was a rail cannon shot from one of your team mates!?
@@InfiniteGamerXI none of us brought the railcannom :3
