In a post on Reddit, a user known as Correct-Anywhere-314 shared a video from a recent game ofBattlefield 2042. At the start of the video, the player decided to ride a zip line to the top of a tall tower. Upon reaching the top, they were surprised to learn that an enemy had managed to beat them to the location. Fortunately, the enemy had not heard them take the zip line, giving Correct-Anywhere-314 the advantage… or so they thought.
After learning that the enemy was on top of the tower, Correct-Anywhere-314 moved in to do a takedown. However, before they could perform the assassination, the opposing player fired an anti-aircraft missile in the opposite direction. In a strange twist of fate, the backblast from the shot sent Correct-Anywhere-314 flying into the air and subsequently landing in front of the enemy. Downed from the blast, the player lay in front of the opponent, unable to move. As the player slowly bled out, the enemy with the anti-aircraft rocket launcher looked on, clearly confused by what just happened.
This hilarious yet ill-fated encounter shared by Correct-Anywhere-314 made an impression on manymembers of theBattlefield 2042communityon Reddit. With over 6,100 upvotes in a day, many were surprised by the unlucky ending met by the player. In addition, many users commented that they thought the best part was the reaction of the enemy after they had unintentionally downed the player. Even Correct-Anywhere-314 acknowledged that the reaction from the enemy made the video hilarious. The Reddit user revealed that they sent the clip to the opponent after it happened.
