10 More Video Game Mistakes Left In To Troll You

8. Grenade-Proof Dumpster - Half-Life 2

In Half-Life 2 you’ll encounter many creepy-crawlies, mutated baddies, and growling zombies all well and truly set on tearing you to pieces. While the majority of them make themselves known, there’s the occasional foe you can’t see and whatever lies in this particular blue dumpster is one of them.

When you get close you’ll notice a rumbling in said dumpster, so you might want to get to it before it gets to you, like, say, with a grenade.

If you do throw a grenade into the dumpster a very curious thing happens, the grenade bounces right back out at you. This is actually due to a bug where the developers placed an object in the vicinity of the dumpster that would cause periodic explosions to rumble the dumpster to suggest there is a zombie in there. But if said object collided with a grenade thrown into the dumpster, the small explosion would push it out again, making it look like it's being lobbed back.

Though none of this was intentional, playtesters loved it as did developers so they decided to leave it in to shock unsuspecting players.
