- Hello fellow supporters of managed democracy Helldivers 2 has taken the internet and video game world by storm quickly becoming the top selling game on steam and most viewed game on twitch! Its safe to say the game has captured the cheese and charm of starship troopers and bottled it into a satisfying gameplay loop. Now this loop is of course perfectly balanced! The developers have made sure to remove every bug glitch from immortality to infinite super credits! But there is one exploit that always seems to get past the patches. The infinite grenades glitch. So let us see what funny moments we will have today with this overpowered strategem.
Today with the help of the wonderful and talented Pirate Software, Khronos and Luthair we are going to become overpowered grenade slinging explosion kings as we cover the map in fire! This glitch is the perfect thing to pair with the brand new democratic demolition warbond that adds a new thermite grenade as well as new weapons of questionable balance.

*Managed democracy can be spread via INFINITE UNCTROLLED EXPLOSIVES!*
Edit - In the latest update of the game the devs have broken Damage Over Time Effects so Fire grenades only work for the Host :D
Spread Democracy not love
infinite explosives are extremely Democratic.
I LOVE YOU SPIFF!
FIRST NICE
FOR MANAGED DEMOCRACY!!!
The fact you found an exploit that I haven’t seen in the subreddit or comments on “known features working on by devs.” Truly shows how the Spiff breaks games!
honestly this exploit has been around since launch in many different forms. I only covered it because the devs have failed so many times at patching it I thought it might help :D
The old easy way to trigger it was to pickup a grenade refill whilst throwing your last grenade
The last game I played was a couple weeks ago. And it's because someone was doing this lol. It's not fun anymore.
@@thespiffingbritstill extremely impressive!! I thought it was a bit weird how it wasn’t well known but it must’ve been before my time and I just haven’t come across the correct people.
The different ways of doing it also explains how it’s not on the list as it probably wasn’t thought to be worked around!
Pretty sure this is common knowledge. I've seen talk of it in both the subbreddit and discord.
A buddy of mine was in a game with a guy who was using this last week
The funny thing about this expolit is how it doesn't make the game seem MORE chaotic than usual
And because it sorta locks you out of using Stratagems and support weapons it's actually surprisingly balanced.
@@Jukantos this game really is great.
@@Jukantos It doesn't lock you out. Once your boom boom count is in the negative you can just keep throwing even if you swap to another weapon.
I have seen it countless times in game for like past 2 or 3 weeks... So he did not find it and if you havent seen it, maybe play the game more...
@@bumpy86 Because this video was recorded, edited and posted today right?
You realize it takes a while to do all that right?
Is he the first ever to do it?
Probably not.
But I'm pretty sure he figured it out on his own somehow.
Spiff: "I have infinite grenades"
Dropship with Rocket Devastators: well, time to deliver wake up calls.
Ya the AI gets infinite rockets! we can have grenades to balance things out!
impact grenades have entered the chat
@@SmokesKwazukii and what exactly are you going to do with those? Run 200m in hopes to catch dropship before it unloads and ending in the open field right where they prefer you?:D
@@TheArklyte impact nades will flatten a devastator with one hit, infinite ones of those would literally wipe out cyberstan
@@TomoHawKzZ and your throwing arm apparently outranges a rocket 🤣
The best part is-- when this inevitably gets patched, they'll find some way to write it into the lore.
Ahhh yes the days when the faith of managed democracy gave helldivers the power to summon high explosives.
Helldivers these days just dont have the same devotion.
"There was a squad of former helldivers that smuggled in a larger than permitted quantity of grenades. They have since blown themselves up. Rest assured that their corpses were put on trial and found guilty and their families are dutifully paying for the excess grenades."
It was an experimental pocket grenade fabricator!!!
New patch today said that it was fixed but now it just shows an int overflow... so you now have 4,294,967,295 greandes instead of infinite ones...
"I love using an explosion to make an even bigger explosion." This is literally how nukes work XD
That was my first thought
Same. @@nuru666
And for many other weapons as well. The primer cap for bullets. The delayed fuse for shells and bombs. And so on.
Mazda SkyActiv-X Spark Controlled Compression Ignition xD
Just nukes? Brotha, this is a fundamental part of explosives use!
Spiff put the tea in libertea
You thought of that right off the bat huh? 🤔 *PRAISE* A true follower has been found..
I dare say the existence of Liber-tea drew him like a moth to a flame
Even the main theme is called "A Cup of Liber-Tea"
Nahh everybody like this post I refuse to let one of the first tea jokes not to get at least top 10 refuse 🦑
I'm sure he's going around preaching that "Liber" is actually a proto-new age Super Earth-ian translation for "Yorkshire," so it all makes sense to be spreading Yorkshire Tea to every planet in the galaxy.
Dear Spiff,
I write to you from the front lines, where the sound of detonating impact grenades pervades my waking hours.
You have turned my once-reliable teammate into a thoughtless catapult of indiscriminate ordinance.
You monster.
Ubderstand that I say this with no small amount of respect, as I am breakfasting on a nice big mug of Yorkshire Gold (one generous teaspoon of honey, half-and-half to finish) as I type this.
Sincerely,
Exasperated in Oshaune
Yorkshire Gold is the TRUUUUUUUUTH
Ah yes some sweet liber-tea
"I believe we're on fire" vs "we appear to have been crispified" got me good LMAO the speech contrast is hilariously good!
Pirate Softwate AND Spiff?? It’s not even my birthday!
happy future birthday
@thespiffingbrit was this recorded separately from PirateSoftware's regular streams or are we able to see these shenanigans if we watch his YT Vods?
Yeah we recorded this on Thursday last week on his day off @@MrKairesK
@@thespiffingbrit more of this collab spiff! We want more Thor!
I went with "Christmas" instead of "my birthday" but otherwise I had that exact same response
A exploit that for once fits exactly with the vibe of the game. Because I can think of fewer fitting exploits to Helldivers 2 than INFINITE EXPLOSIONS!
This can be done with ANY backpack by the way. My friends and I were running around with shield generator packs and infinite grenades. Three on impact, one on smoke is a pretty nuts strategy.
Dangit 😂
When I learned of this glitch I was DESPERATELY hoping that no big channels would make a video on it lol, now the devs are going to fix it😢 I WAS SPREADING SO MUCH DEMOCRACY WITH THIS!!!
pics or it didnt happen
Grenada launcher with supply backpack gives similar results (just fyi)
@@kitakkful
Good to know
Pirate software and our favourite exploiter playing together is something I didn't know I needed to see
you mean Pirates of T'ware?
this is what managed democracy gets you my brother in arms so help us continue to be more and greater than ever before
@@blackblade99009 not after hoMEOWner. Don't give him the satisFACTion...
I started the video hoping I'd see the pirate software react to this, but you did even better :) that was really cool
I’d love to just watch you guys playing this game together, even without exploits. The chemistry is great and you guys are hilariously funny 😂
I had a fantastic time playing this incredibly balanced and democratic game with you, but more than anything, I'm glad that the evidence CLEARLY exonerated me of any killings!
I hope you had a good time golfing with Cecil too
i didn't expect to see Thor from PiratesSoftware here
I mean, the two being in the same voice call and game is a dream come true for me lol
The crossover we didn’t know we needed and now I want more.
Things I wasn't expecting that I would need today.
#1. A grenade throwing montage.
YESSSSSS!!!! Two of my most favourite CZcamsrs collabing?!? My life is now complete, if the world ended tomorrow I'd have no regrets...
It's not a bug. It's the new credit mechanic, so you can use the grenades in advance. You get the bill afterwards of course
I like how the exploit is basically a megumin strat. Explosion
Thor definitely was embracing that strat... A bit of a liability to be on the battlefield with :D
Infinite Explosions
Can you imagine if the devs added a twist where, if you go negative with this glitch, you start your missions with Zero grenades until you die/resupply enough times to get back above Zero
@@thespiffingbrit Who had the greater friendly fire score? Here, lemme just hit this X button real quick.
EKUHSPLOSION
Thanks for showing how balanced the game is with no exploits. Working as intended!
Yo I love you both. I follow you and pirate. I love all of his shorts that i have seen as well as all your vids.
“I love using explosions to make even *bigger* explosions”
*MEET THE THERMONUCLEAR BOMB*
If I remember my field theory lectures correctly, you appear to have accessed the quantum vacuum states of your grenade poutch. There should be an infinate number of these negative states, so the maths works out just fine and it therefore isn't a bug, just a very advanced form of democracy.
Damn you Spiff!!
Today I noticed that you can buy Yorkshire Tea from numerous stores in Finland. And I blame it 100% on you.
It truly is the superior blend. (And I'm a coffee drinker) (Ps. I put coffee in my tea from time to time.)
Ive been waiting for you to do a video on this game.
Love the legally distinct "I Need a Hero" music.
Fun fact, this works without that backpack!
It does but I think the animation timing is easier to pull off with the backpack. It is for me at least
@@thespiffingbrit there is no timing. You legit just have to spam the strategem menu and throwing the nade.
Funner fact:
You don't even need a backpack at all, it's just spamming the stratagem menu.
@@kloklojul While spamming the strategems menu, which button do you push to throw the grenade? Left click or quick grenade button?
@@ShihanQu Video says you need to equip granades using hot key (4) and then throw it, so you use mouse click.
Two of my favorite youtubers in the same video? what a wonderful way to start off my work shift
So glad that you and pirate software do a video together
The fact that he said exactly how to fix this bug shows that he loves this game
Or that he has more code knowledge than the devs and it's his job to make a video on a popular game. But it's downright embarrassing that it's that easy to fix and it's still broken.
@@dynomar11 i dont know about embarrassing. Any software change has to get tested, approved and pushed, if your on PlayStation Sony has final approval on it as well. They can't just adhoc fix one thing randomly, and I've never even heard of this glitch until the video.
@@dynomar11Been patched before the supply box has a new animation set for grabbing grenades. Something you can't uh… beta test?
@@dynomar11 It's not embarrassing it was just an oversite. They should actualy fix the issue that allows them to put it bellow zero in the first place. They should implement some code that detects if it's bellow 0 and if it is put it back to 0.
They probably don’t care. It’s PVE, if you wanna cheat who cares? They have had other hacks and bugs like this and their reply was “well sounds like they are having fun”
Man! I almost thought you had stopped putting out videos outside of the pay walls!
Glad to see i was wrong.
😅🎉
Pirate Software and TheSpiffingBrit is the collab we never knew we needed
when a dev forgets to put "Less than
And it seemingly doesn't even bloody matter, since it's still just as much chaos as without.
why did u put less than twice
hilarious part is that would cause mission success rates to go down, not up. The Friendly Fire would be overwhelming.
Looking at how much trouble they were having with a level 5 because of that... I don't think it is viable enough to matter :x
Glad to see your Collab with him! Great guy!
Glad to hear the classic Spiff music in the video again, missed it!
Thanks for the video Spiff! Making my day a better one
hope you have a good one my dude :)
Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these.
But of all the world's brave heroes, there's none that can compare.
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British Grenadiers.
Now this is the type of shenanigans I expect from this channel
Most reliable method I've found is:
Have grenades set to quick grenade binding.
Press grenade and start spamming stratagem and grenade button/ key breifly.
You should still be holding your grenade despite having it set to quick grenade. If not, repeat first step
Press the fire button/ key to throw all grenades. You should still be holding a grenade despite having none.
Spam stratagem and fire until a grenade is thrown.
Profit.
The benefit of this is that you know it worked after the first step without wasting a grenade so you can immediately retry.
Remember Helldivers, exploitation of flaws in Super Earth Logistics is anti democratic!
its a good thing brits do not believe in democracy then
@@thespiffingbrit is this treason, helldiver?
@@thespiffingbrit It's fine, you have liber-tea already
@@thespiffingbritwhy you 'used' to be an Empire 💅
@@zappbrannigan83 A monarchist empire I think
This was freaking Magical! Thank you so much for teaming up with Pirate Software and I really hope there is an opprotunity for you two to collaborate again soon😂😂😂😂
Pirate Software and The spiffing Brit in one video? That's great content right there, love to see it.
I had a buddy have this happen to him and we couldn't figure out why. Glad it's recreatable
The collab I didn't know I needed. Luv ya both
Okay Thor being in this is great a crossover I never expected and don’t know how much I needed until you presented the thought
This was an awesome video and great team up
"i love using an explosion to create an even bigger explosion" -person designing the thermonuclear bomb
Thanks for the video and collab.
The banter between Khronos and Spiff was also great with the addition American reaction from Thor.
Liber-Tea!!
Ah yes, the Yorkshire Gold special.
This was just what i needed after a long day....A brit and a Pirate spreading Democracy with Explosions....my cup of Yorkshire tea indeed :)
FINALLY! A Spiffing Brit Helldiver Episode! Also, WTH!? I swear I was already subbed. Oh well re-sub, good to see your banter again good sir!
3:53 they should also build in a small function that automatically sets the grenade count to 0 if it goes under, actually
Clamp(numGrenades, 0, maxGrenades);
@@reahreic7698 Ideally you'd have some sort of base class or similar and apply that clamp to everything. But it's game dev so who knows what the codebase looks like.
@@arthurmoore9488 Yeah, it's usually part of the Math library with multiple overloads so that you can use it with integers, floats, doubles, and sometimes vectors too. (I've made this error myself)
@@reahreic7698 I meant more in code layout of the game itself. Standard Object Oriented / strongly typed stuff. For example, the grenade count not being an an int, and rather an "AmmoCount" type. It could be typedeffed to an Int, but it could also be an object that overloads `+` and `-` operators so they always have `Clamp` applied to them.
This approach of using a special type instead of just ints/floats/doubles also helps to prevent confusion when you're converting between different units/coordinate spaces.
Oh no... You and pirate were never meant to meet.... the world isn't ready for it...
I noticed this a week or two ago when I would be using grenades and throw them all then I would open strats to drop an eagle and it would bug the animation and I’m out of grenades but still holding one. The reason I didn’t realize you could use this to your advantage is that I never ever ran the supply pack. Almost found a gem. Ggs brit
PirateSoftwear, a cup of Yorkshire Tea & a dashingly devious Spiffing Brit… now this what I call a good start to the weekend!😉
The Goblin Lord himself, love to see the collab
The stock photos are so dumb but so perfect. Also I’m still waiting for my free grenade.
thank you :)
Spiff, where’s my free grenade?
It was cooking in a parcel van intended for your destination, however, due to infinite grenades, but not infinite parcel vans, the sheer weight delayed it. The resulting disaster had been declared an assault on democracy, and you are now on the "do not deliver list". Silver lining: that also makes delivering the bill you accrued for the van a challenge..
Glad to see you're fighting for Super Earth too
I love spiff breaking the game and having fun with it, and out of all his videos I really love how he also shows a way to fix the game. This goes to show that this is done to gain some awareness, not just to break the game
Im literally playing with the Supply Package + Engineer passive ability which gives me 2 more granades every god damn mission and i didn't stumbled upon this bug?
Thank you
He started to believe. (In Democracy)
The All Mighty Thor clip at the start of the video! Nice
That Rock Paper Scissors bug I also found last night. It was my buddy’s super destroyer so we where screwed
I'm glad I found this glitch before you made this video... First chance I got, I threw 800 grenades in a single round. Helluva time.
Spiff is a perfectly balanced Brit with infinite supply of Yorkshire tea
I discovered a duplication glitch. My support weapon landed but landed on rock with a slight incline. So I tried climbing this slight incline and grabbing my weapon but it had an unintended side-effect. I grabbed the weapon but my character's model started the sliding animation at the exact same time rendering me with a weapon in hand and a weapon to still grab in the Hellpod. I couldn't be bothered to try and recreate it but it was pretty cool.
These three in a live together is absolutely brilliant. The video itself can barely contain it. You gentlemen sound like the worlds most suave podcast, but with butter spread on it 🫠
omg. im gonna try this. thank you spiffing brit!🤗
Prepare to be kicked from lobbies, people don't look kindlly on this sort of thing
@@betelgeuse_99 unless… its my lobby!! lol. really, just tried it out with some buddies and it was crazy fun. amazing content (as always), thank you for the upload. for random coops, big no bueno for me though. bugs’n exploits always usually just ruin everyones experience
Grenade -1,-2 etc. So super earth gives grenades on credit. Like a true democracy would.
The best way to make this better would be with impact grenades.
ah.... the classic bug throw menu XD loving it
you can do it without supply pack.
you can do the thing consistently by ;
1. throw your nades until 1 remains
2. double tap stratagem (ctrl for pc, L1 for ps)
3. throw your last nade
4. repeat step 2
5. throw as many nade as you like.
3:31 Love the quick code explanation, but the condition should be
if (grenade_count == 0) instead of if (grenade_count = 0)
= is an assignment operator, == checks for equality.
That depends on your programming language. Some languages use := for assignment and = for equality. Some use = for both. There's almost certainly a few other variants around.
@@BBomb1234 No programming language that employs curly brackets to delineate the scope of the "if" condition utilizes the single equal operator for equality comparisons.
love this glitch thank you
I think the exploit could be also caused by using an unsigned integer which silently reinterpreted as signed when displayed (probably code reuse). that would cause, in case of decrementing, a rollover to some obscenely large values, so it is never technically less than zero.
Run a Ballistic Shield, have an armor set that has servo assisted and you become the ultimate tank. I’ve been running around with the Defender so I can always have my shield up which stops lasers.
No need for explosive stratagems because YOU ARE THE STRATAGEM.
i have milked this for 8 weeks it’s still a thing
I'm a simple man, I see Spiff AND Thor, and I click like.
Seriously folks if you don't watch Pirate Software's shorts, the dude is hilarious, and very positive.
Just seeing the existence of this video in my Recommended List made me smile.
Seeing Thor in one of your videos made me happy. A good channel to follow.
I have an issue with the commenting rules...I can't find Yorkshire tea in any store. So I will go to my classic Rooibos tea.
Finished with a little glitch flex there too. Gotta love it😊
I have found that you don't need the supply pack at all for the grenade exploit. After trying it myself multiple times both with and without.
If you want to do the exploit without the supply pack do what the spiff does by hitting the grenade key to hold it in your hand. Tap the strategem button before you throw grenade, then throw them all, on the last grenade, tap the strategem key to open and close rapidly so you do the animation cancel and are still "holding the grenade." If you do it correctly, you can still have infinite grenades without supply pack.
Supply pack is still good to have with you though until you get the timing right, since you still need the animation cancel with your last grenade and will give you a few "do overs" if you mis-time the button pressing.
But I was also able to swap to primary weapon, and use strategems, you just have to make sure you hit the hold grenade key on the keyboard to swap back to infinite grenades vs the quickthrow key. And you can re-equip something else on your back, such as the shield generator pack. So you can have extra def while you are spam throwing. Have fun exploiters.
The idea to be a mad grenadier with a shit load of grenades and a backpack that can refill them (and maybe change the grenade you thrown) could be an awesome and fresh new way to bring more liberty into the galaxy.
Yeah go the warframe route and make it a feature
I too have broken this game! First, Pelican-1 decided to sink into the planet, then when it did take off it flew right past the ship and got lost in space for a while, then I somehow drowned (I was on Pelican-1) then when the game finally loaded, I was where the elevator is meant to start (the one that brings the helldivers back after a mission) meaning that I was in an inaccessible area since the elevator cutscene had probably already finished when I loaded in so I got to run around at the back of the ship, then I fell through the floor to a platform below and got to see the full hellpods, I then jumped into the vast open space and kept getting up mid-air as if I was picking myself up off of a floor. All of this happened one after the other in one go.
I wanna go try this. I did t know this was the exact video I wanted
a collab i didnt know i needed
With all of your meddling with gods, it’s great to see your meeting with Thor!
PirateSoftware is a great channel, Thank you for shouting him out.
of corse pirate sofware knows the bugs. awsom vid spiff as usual
Thx for that, it's to much fun xD
The exploit king and the goblin king in the same video?! Sir, I may have smashed that like button a little too hard.
When Spiff isn't breaking the laws or reality by conjuring grenades, he's taking the fight directly to the Bugs by wasting no time with Pods.
Spiff is a true model of Democracy if I have ever seen one.
I saw somebody post this glitch on twitter i wasnt sure it eas patched or not cause one of the responses said it was patched, i cant believe it still works
just tried it. i love it!... i tried using it without the supply pack and it works just the same
Sorry Spiff, Pirate steals the show... You two make a great team! Let's see more!
5:54 "Just what I expected from a bastard from Hampshire"
Spiff, 2024
Seeing Thor collab with Spiff is absolutely wild, he really has hit the big leagues now
