Helldivers 2 player recreates Naked Gun meme with in-game assets

destructoid.com:

Since the game was released, the Helldivers 2 community has been flooding social media and the community Discord servers or Subreddit with dozens of memes. Now, one of the most iconic has finally been rendered using in-game assets. A Naked Gun clip that pokes fun at Sample hoarders.

All Helldivers 2 players understand the pain of collecting Samples. While they’re easy to spot and pick up, it’s holding onto them that quickly becomes an issue as swarms of Terminid bugs or Automaton mechs overwhelm and kill them. Upon death, players drop everything they’re holding, including those Samples, meaning they need to be gathered again. Thankfully, other players in a squad can pick up lost Samples and ensure the entire team benefits from them, but it comes at the cost of their attention and, sometimes, the lives of other Helldivers.

The Naked Gun meme Helldivers 2 players have been using to make fun of others and themselves, when they pause shooting in an intense firefight to grab some Samples from the battlefield, is the clip of Leslie Nielson finding his lucky coin while shooting down his foes. Now, that clip has been turned into an almost completely accurate video using in-game assets.

"Remember! Your fellow Helldiver isn't spending those credits in the afterlife! Grab what you can before extraction! Their misfortune is your fortune. Brasch out."- General Brasch#HELLDIVER2 #HelldiversII https://t.co/XNe8VU9txC pic.twitter.com/47NpysySg1

Posted by creator Atrio the Animation Man on Twitter, the only thing the video gets slightly wrong is that it shows a Helldiver grabbing Super Credits or Warbonds as opposed to Samples. In the replies to the post, some players have pointed out how it shows the wrong item, which Atrio has addressed.

“As some people have been pointing out, this isn’t an accurate depiction of credit finding in game haha. Helldivers don’t drop Super Credits. If they did, because who doesn’t have their wallet/purse on them, This would 100% be a Brasch Tactics
