When I first downloaded the game, I thought it was a base mechanic because I saw a lot of clips of it so I kept blasting myself at the feet and kept killing myself until I learned it was an overclock
@@GlassesIncorp47that's why I change my cosmetics when I'm running fat boy. It's a lot harder to accidentally nuke yourself or your team when your grenade launcher is bright green as a "warning label"
I recently went into a hazzard 5 mission thinking i had the rocket jumping OC. I saw nitra, placed platform and used the PGL to jump up, except i did not bring the rocket jump OC... I brought Fat Boy.... Needless to say my driller laughed at me.
ah I'm falling to certain death, luckily my handy platfrom gun is just the tool to save my ass....... ....and now my body is inside an irradiated crater
i shot one zipline too many at glyphids without realizing i had the zipline launcher out i mean tbf the length on that tip should be enough to pierce through a grunt but oh well
Alternatively, I panicked when a Dreadnought spawned on a regular mission and fired 3 platforms at it before I realized it was not my grenade launcher.
One time I tried to pull out my flare gun right before a swarm and didn't realize I was already holding it so ended up calling in a supply drop by complete accident.
i played scout until i got the gold border and only after that did i try out other classes. cant tell you how many times i tried to light up a cave only to be met with disappointment as i see a sentry in my hand
Also, trying to shoot an incoming swarm that's very quickly overwhelming you and instead just making a giant yellow circle in them so they branch into 2 EVEN MORE ANNOYING SWARMS
I usually do this while I'm panicking during a sudden fall, trying to whip out a platform for me to land safely on and instead, damage myself with explosives, AND slightly increase the total drop distance all in one go
as a driller main myself, theres no greater shame than trying to freeze a horde while b-hopping and realising you accidentally switched to your c4. i have killed as many teammates with c4 as i have myself
This makes me wish the platform gun did damage like the flare gun. Which botb should uave an acheivement for. Kill 100 bugs with support items: drillers platforms flare gins and zipline guns.
I once tried to reduce my fall-damage with a platform since I had Plasticrete Mk II on, figuring it would probably keep me from dying. I then exploded myself before falling to my death. Good times!
Me: Oh no, I'm falling! I'll just whip out my grapple gun to negate the fall damage! Also me: *pulls out my sawed-off shotgun and tags my teammate with every pellet before cratering *
That sounds like a reasonable explanation. Yep. Definitely not because I didn't consider the position of the explosion and where the resulting crater should be at all. No sir.
I had the opposite happen to me on occasion turn around to see an enemy and I fire a useless platform or zipline. The latter hurt more with the limited ammo.

Worse yet. Forgetting it is your Fat Boy build
Funny enough, Hyper prop can insta-kill you too, you can probably guess how I found that out

@trulers8713 true. But for me it's my character. Hard to forgot death in the palm of you hand when you're face is skull window.
Me as someone who often plays scout, sees a glypid in front of me, fires weapon… “Flare out!” Damn it
hey at least it dealed some damage
Glyphid: *choking noises*
its worse when you mistake your grappling hook with your gun
and that is why you should switch your weapons like you playing 3 pianos simultaneously
Try that with a platform or zipline.
As someone who as repeatedly shot at veins with guns, and also fired platforms into the face of a glyphid swarm, this speaks to me.
I constantly fire platforms into glyphids every five seconds. Rock and stone.
*gunner shoots a zipline to the bulk det-*
oh shit.
Scout: Grapples to enemy when tryin to shoot weakpoints
Gunner: Shoots zipline in a panic
Driller: C 4 B O O M
BUGS YOU MAY CORNER ME BUT I HAVE A SECONDARY WEAPON! FEAR MY... zipline!?
I recently went into a hazzard 5 mission thinking i had the rocket jumping OC. I saw nitra, placed platform and used the PGL to jump up, except i did not bring the rocket jump OC... I brought Fat Boy....
Needless to say my driller laughed at me.
I can’t even remember how many times I’ve nuked myself with fat boy thinking I had the breach cutter equipped
No sir, that is your deplatform gun.
ah I'm falling to certain death, luckily my handy platfrom gun is just the tool to save my ass....... ....and now my body is inside an irradiated crater
I cannot describe the Joy in his voice and how giddy he is, until its not his platform gun
Why bother mining when you have EXPLOSIVES
Great gun sound effects.
This feels like it should be way longer... 😹 The character design is honestly adorable...
Always happens to me. "OH SHIT A OPPRESSOR" **Grapples to the oppressor instead of shooting**
The weapon skin from the roughneck pack was a blessing.
On all of my engineer loadouts I have a bright orange grenade launcher.
i shot one zipline too many at glyphids without realizing i had the zipline launcher out
i mean tbf the length on that tip should be enough to pierce through a grunt but oh well
Alternatively, I panicked when a Dreadnought spawned on a regular mission and fired 3 platforms at it before I realized it was not my grenade launcher.
I try to shoot glyphids with a platform gun thinking its my shotgun.
I accidentally shot a driller once.... it ended in a bigger explosion....
*EXPLOSIVES PLACED*
that "kaboom" was adorable
The engineers struggle
Friend had a similar moment. Jumped down to revive me only to remember mid air he didn't have his grapple out.
We lost that mission.
0:18 "No time for a self-promotion! Get back to work!" Mission Control
ive done this as gunner with my zipgun. Really painful considering how little ammo the thing has lol
the vibes are right w this one
Sound effects at a high level
jumping off a cliff trying to grapple into a cave below the cliff only to hear the ratatat of my main gun....
i have to agree with engineer. that indeed was not his platform gun.
I appreciate the custom subtitles. Not everyone does them, but I always notice when they do
I like to think that the subtitles add to the comedy. I'm glad you agree. :)
One time I tried to pull out my flare gun right before a swarm and didn't realize I was already holding it so ended up calling in a supply drop by complete accident.
As an Engineer, I once in a panic try to break my fall.... with the grenade launcher.
Never let anyone tell you nuke mining is not a valid strategy.
i played scout until i got the gold border and only after that did i try out other classes. cant tell you how many times i tried to light up a cave only to be met with disappointment as i see a sentry in my hand
Might not be his platform gun, but look at how much faster he can pickup the nitra now.
Also, trying to shoot an incoming swarm that's very quickly overwhelming you and instead just making a giant yellow circle in them so they branch into 2 EVEN MORE ANNOYING SWARMS
Best sound effects EVER!
Friends: "We're out of ammo but the Dreagnought only has a small healt, fire the grenade"
Me, the engineer "Plaform, ready to use!"
I usually do this while I'm panicking during a sudden fall, trying to whip out a platform for me to land safely on and instead, damage myself with explosives, AND slightly increase the total drop distance all in one go
as a driller main myself, theres no greater shame than trying to freeze a horde while b-hopping and realising you accidentally switched to your c4. i have killed as many teammates with c4 as i have myself
I have shot dreadnoughts with the zipline gun.... and im ashamed
This is genius
You are doing God's work with this
More often than i'd like to admit...
This never happens to me when I play engineer. Instead I shoot platforms at the aliens
me who shot 4 platforms at a swarm wondering why things were not going boom.
I do this as scout when I'm in a panic trying not to die 😂
lol me in a big fight with my team mates around not realize i have a nuke out and not my smart rifle

Good times!
This rocks my stonea
funnily enough when you run out of ammo as scout your flare gun isn't a terrible weapon
Me: Oh no, I'm falling! I'll just whip out my grapple gun to negate the fall damage!
Also me: *pulls out my sawed-off shotgun and tags my teammate with every pellet before cratering *
Ive done that with the breach cutter because it has a similar shape to thenplat form gun at a glance
I think he had proximity on, cause that explosive went in front of him but there was a crater behind him
That sounds like a reasonable explanation. Yep. Definitely not because I didn't consider the position of the explosion and where the resulting crater should be at all. No sir.
@@Cratmang
Clearly
No mistakes were had in the making of this animation
The subtitles 🤣 great job !
power of the sun baby
Happens with the best of miners
I can not tell you how many times I’ve shot a deepcore because I put a yellow paint job on it so it looks way to similar to the platform gun
Rock and stone!
I had the opposite happen to me on occasion turn around to see an enemy and I fire a useless platform or zipline. The latter hurt more with the limited ammo.
Every nuke Engie ever
art
Access destroyed.
I'm full! Where's molly?!
He is so literally me
grenade launcher and platform gun do kinda look similar at a glance and i have made the same mistake so many times
It's awesome! 🥰🥰❤️
Happens to me all the time xD
That, wasn't his platformgun.
This happens to me alot
Sound effects
i do this with all classes minus driller. happens all the time too its funny and annoying
I've had this before
I wish I knew what that was lol
**plays scout**
**Falls in a hole**
**Tries to grapple to safety**
"LIGHTING UP!"
....damn
Edit: started playing engie recently. Lost count of how many times i platformed accidentally thinking i had a grappling hook

Trying to rocket jump with fatboy on
I point gun at feet and I make big boom that sends me airborne. I don’t see how the logic doesn’t work.
