In the recent update for Helldivers 2, players face dire consequences as the Illuminate forces invade, causing chaos across Super Earth. Among these challenges, a community member dubbed Beautiful-Injury7738 has gained attention for his daring venture into Leviathan surfing.

Beautiful-Injury7738 showcased this unique ability through a video, demonstrating his character riding the back of one of the massive Leviathan creatures while wielding a flag of democracy. He ascended a building and used the newly added jetpack feature to launch himself onto the Leviathan, capturing a moment comparable to scenes from Dune.

“I spent longer than I would like to admit setting this up”, he humorously admitted, ignoring that the mechanics weren’t originally intended for such exploits.

This captivating feat drew several comparisons to iconic cinematic scenes, with many Reddit users dubbing Beautiful-Injury the Lisan al-Gaib of Helldivers 2. However, the adventure met a tragic end as the Leviathan seemed to vacate the combat zone, attracting artillery fire, and ultimately leading to his in-game demise. Such an ending has led to numerous humorous discussions online, reflecting the game’s intricate blend of tragedy and absurdity.

As the story unfolds, fellow players continue to explore the new content, faced with Illuminate threats and the addition of NPC troops known as SEAF redshirts.
