Twitch streamer and YouTuber Ryan Letourneau AKA ‘Northernlion’ was playing Halo Infinite when he attempted a trick shot with a grenade in a Stockpile match that blew up in his face.
The multiplayer beta for Halo Infinite was unexpectedly released on November 15th to commemorate Xbox’s 20th anniversary. Thousands of players have jumped into online lobbies since the multiplayer launch, eager to play as the titular protagonist Master Chief once more.
Northernlion got in on the FPS action, and while he was excited to play, he may have gotten ahead of himself by attempting a move that ended in a hilarious fail. Last November 23rd, he was streaming Halo Infinite’s Stockpile game mode. To score in Stockpile, players must collect power seeds and return them to their base.
While holding the power seeds, players are unable to wield a weapon, making them vulnerable to opponents who notice them. As he hid behind a rock to avoid being shot at, he threw a grenade at the wall, hoping it would bounce back at his opponents.
“Watch this,” he said, but the grenade bounced right back at him, blowing him up and launching his character into the stratosphere. Despite the fact that his attempted trick shot landed him on the respawn screen, it did provide one entertaining moment. Things didn’t go as planned.
