While there are still a lot of MOs to go around in Hellraiser 2 – in fact, the latest one is set to end in an hour as of this writing – there’s one discovery that’s been getting a lot of attention from the community over the past day or so. It’s a mid-fall life-saving emote, and even Arrowhead’s CEO thinks it’s pretty cool.
As we reported yesterday, while the ability to emote while airborne has been in the game for a few months now, the fact that having your diver become stiff by taking poses like saluting or hugging appears to reduce the amount of fall damage you take is less well known.

Of course, because it’s such a fun way to keep your ragdoll soldiers from dying when they splash back down to the ground, players on Reddit urged Arrowhead not to remove it from the game in a future update, even though this is technically an example of a system not working as well as it should.
For those who have been worried about losing the ability to fall from ridiculous heights for showing patriotic fervor, the good news is that Arrowhead’s CEO himself is on your side in this debate. “Can we please keep this?” Shams Jorjani responded to a clip of the phenomenon on Twitter, asking the studio’s developers.

“If necessary we’ll add some inflatable stretch bags that deploy from under your arms,” he responded, adding, “Come on! We have the technology – where there’s a will, there’s a way!”
Another respondent asked Jorjani if, as the current head of power at the studio, he could technically just order the developers to do this without giving them a choice. Being the nice guy that he is, he simply responded, “This is a really terrible way to manage a game studio full of smart and creative people.”
The CEO also took the opportunity to jokingly tell another player, who jokingly used the opportunity to request the ability to use two existing mechs in the game at once – which seemed a bit over the top – that their request was a surefire way to potentially convince the studio to nerf the mechs instead of doing it as a joke.
