In a one-in-a-million clip, Helldivers 2 fan-favorite Eagle-1 gets gruesome payback for the safety measures we cut to buff our Stratagems

Helldivers 2 intro man.

In Helldivers 2, players should always expect the unexpected. From the ever-looming threat of friendly fire, to potential surprise attacks from Chargers always a very real possibility, things perpetually have a chance of going very wrong, very fast. However, it's now been discovered in the most gruesome way possible that you can also be attacked by the beloved Eagle-1 pilot, taking friendly fire to the next level.

If you weren't familiar, Eagle-1 is one of the community's favorite characters, being the pilot who swoops in to deliver powerful Eagle Stratagems like the airstrike and cluster bomb. While we don't see her face in the actual game, she's always been adored for her voice lines, and the official Helldivers 2 Twitter account recently shared fan art depicting her as an anime girl, prompting the community to fall even deeper in love with her. Despite this though, one of the recent Helldivers 2 ship module upgrades gave liberty-loving players a hard choice, allowing them to buff their Stratagems, but face the guilt of removing safety systems like airbags from Eagle-1's jet.
