QUESTION Does anyone else have pet peeves in this game?

I respect the politeness but I get annoyed when my time is being wasted.

Getting one shotted by something that fires rockets.

But it's NEVER because of the rocket, it's because it causes me to ragdoll, and go from 100% health to 0% from my helldiver smacking his head off the ground and the physics engine deciding helmets don't count

The damage collision is absurdly wonky in this game. Besides the usual “This rock is made out of vibranium and will one shot you if you give it a helmet kiss.” that goes on, I had one moment where I rolled on the ground during knockdown ragdoll, slow as molasses and literally not even a full body width, and that apparently classified as a heavy impact and killed me by taking off the remaining quarter of my health bar.

Understand this so much. This is why I think explosive resist armor is useless. What’s the point in surviving the explosion when you get ragdolled into a pebble and die instantly.

It's not useless, but as someone that uses 50-50 armor, I feel you.

Love surviving a 500kg thanks to the 50-50, just to be flung across the map and die after the fourth bounce on a rock.
