Helldivers 2 is full of chaos and creativity, but one player pushed it to a new extreme. Known as Beautiful-Injury7738, they figured out how to surf on the back of the game’s giant floating Leviathans—those massive Illuminate warships that hover over the battlefield. “I spent longer than I’d like to admit setting this up,” they confessed on Reddit, and it’s easy to see why this stunt has the community talking. If you’re new to the game or just want to catch up, our Helldivers 2 guide has everything you need to dive in.

How They Pulled It Off

So, how do you surf a Leviathan? According to PC Gamer, it started with a jetpack and a tall building. Beautiful-Injury7738 climbed a skyscraper, waited for a Leviathan to drift close, and then launched themselves onto its back. The video shows them sticking the landing and riding it for two minutes straight. It’s not as simple as it sounds—Leviathans move unpredictably, and one wrong step means a long fall. The player clearly spent a lot of time practicing, and it paid off in a big way.

The Lisan al-Gaib Moment

The Helldivers 2 community couldn’t help but draw parallels to Dune. Fans nicknamed this player the “Lisan al-Gaib,” a nod to Paul Atreides riding a sandworm. It’s a wicked cool comparison! Both feats take guts and skill against a huge, dangerous beast. While it’s mostly a fun trick, some players are already brainstorming how to use Leviathan backs tactically.

Why This Matters

This stunt isn’t just a cool clip—it shows off what makes Helldivers 2 special. The game’s physics and freedom let players experiment in ways most titles don’t. As IGN points out, it’s this kind of player-driven discovery that keeps the game alive. Beautiful-Injury7738’s effort—hours of climbing, jumping, and falling—proves how dedication can turn a random idea into something awesome. Need help taking on Leviathans the usual way?
