Vigor, Bohemia Interactive’s free-to-play looter shooter, isn’t typically associated with comedy—more often, it’s about tense encounters, tactical looting, and narrow escapes. But amidst the drama of outgunning and outsmarting other Outlanders, there are plenty of hilarious moments that make you laugh out loud. Whether it’s because of the game’s sometimes-unpredictable physics or the creative chaos of online players, Vigor can be a goldmine for funny fails and unexpected comedy.
Here are the top 10 funniest moments that every Vigor player can appreciate—either because they’ve lived through them or seen them in a side-splitting gameplay clip.
1. The Legendary Grenade Fail
There’s nothing quite like pulling off a perfect grenade toss—unless it’s perfectly terrible. One of the most common funny moments in Vigor involves Outlanders accidentally bouncing grenades off a tree, wall, or rock… straight back at themselves. Watching a confident player throw a grenade only to realize—too late—that they’ve just cooked their own goose is equal parts tragic and hilarious.
Bonus points if it happens during a firefight and they take out both themselves and the enemy. That’s a win for comedy, if not for XP.
2. The Deadly Emotes Mishap
You finally got that cool new emote and you’re ready to show it off. Maybe you’re waving, saluting, or even pulling off a dramatic sit-down to taunt the enemy. But wait—why did you choose that moment to be cocky?
One of the funniest types of player deaths happens mid-emote. Whether it’s someone dancing as they get shot, or dropping into a box-opening animation just before a sniper picks them off, these are the moments that make spectators burst out laughing. In Vigor, style can kill—literally.
3. Loot Greed Gone Wrong
We’ve all seen it (or done it): the moment an Outlander runs into a clearly suspicious open field to grab a loot drop, ignoring every tactical instinct. They get tunnel vision, sprint toward the crate like a kid running for candy—and then bam, ambushed by a bush camper who’s been watching from 50 meters away.
It’s funny every time, mostly because the looter always acts surprised, even though everyone knows how this story ends. Loot greed isn’t just dangerous—it’s comedy gold.
4. Unexpected Vehicle Shenanigans
Though not the central focus of the game, Vigor’s occasional vehicle glitches or bizarre interactions have provided some unforgettable funny moments. Players have reported everything from cars flipping into the sky to physics bugs that turn a simple drive into a slapstick routine.
One particularly hilarious clip showed an Outlander riding a car that slowly rotated 180 degrees midair after hitting a bump, ejecting everyone inside in slow motion—while an enemy stood nearby watching, clearly too confused to even shoot. The absurdity of these moments turns the game into an accidental comedy show.
The Other 6 Moments That Deserve a Laugh
While those four top categories stand out, Vigor has an endless stream of funny moments born from the chaos of multiplayer gameplay. Here are six more quick hits that never fail to entertain:
Melee-Only Chaos – When two players run out of ammo and are forced into a panic-induced melee fight. Usually ends with both swinging wildly and missing for 30 seconds straight.
Invisible Enemy Syndrome – You swear you saw someone. You start shooting at shadows, bushes, or nothing at all. Meanwhile, a real player sneaks up behind you for the kill. Who’s the clown now?
Overstuffed Backpack Panic – That moment when you’ve looted everything, your pack is full, and the radiation warning hits. Cue frantic zigzagging, jumping off cliffs, and eventually dying 10 meters from the exit.
Dramatic Teammate Betrayals – In Duos or Elimination mode, one player gets a little too trigger-happy or tries to “joke around” with explosives… and accidentally wipes the whole team. Cue awkward silence and angry laughter.
Bush Camping Gone Wrong – You sit perfectly still in a bush for 10 minutes. You’ve prepared your trap. And then… you get shot from behind by someone who had the same idea and better timing.
Mic On, Brain Off – Open mics are a gift to comedy. From players singing mid-match to someone yelling at their dog while under fire, these are the little moments that remind us Vigor is also about people—and people are hilarious.
Final Thoughts
Vigor is at its best when it’s unpredictable. And while it’s built on tension and survival, the game’s unscripted, player-driven nature creates moments of pure comedy that stick with you. Whether you’re watching clips, playing with friends, or even getting roasted by a random enemy mid-match, the funniest moments in Vigor are often the ones you least expect.
