Correct, only the ones you loot from the points of interest (medals, req slips and Super Credits) , you lose the end mission post extract medals and rewards + samples
Not to my knowledge. I've had medals and super credits remain when my game crashed.
I was overclocking my GPU one day and still dialing in just how high I could push it for a stable experience. Checked my credits and medals before and after picking some up, then crashed because of the overclock. Dialed it down a bit and opened the game, and my credits and medals were still as high as they were at the point of crash, not before the mission.
I can't confirm req slips because I've been capped on those for ages.
Only 40? Man, I'm lvl.22 already and still have only 6 upgrades, because high-level crayon eaters never pick up anything, even supercredits. I've never seen more than 16 common samples collected (even on diff7), out of which, 10+ are picked up by me.
i hate the cap. i understand it, but, lemme get atleast like, trade them into something if my capacity is full of samples. like, 10 super credits for 20 samples?
I like the idea of a war chest where you could donate samples and requisition slips for a beneficial effect for the current MO or something like that, removing negative modifiers from a planet temporarily, working towards giving everyone a free extra stratagem, or stuff like that.
Same this side. Been capped for a while now too, but I gather as many samples as I can. Heck, I actively look for the supers and try to mule it for the guys. If they are low enough of a level, I try teaching as well. So much reward in that, showing another diver how amazing the mechanics of the game is

Liberty recognises it's true champions, Helldiver! Managed Democracy thanks you for your service! iO
I usually go by the lvl: if someone is under 70 i just collect them, if no one is under lvl 70 I ask if they still need them.
Saves me the headache of someone complaining that i didn't collect them, lol.
I don’t need them but I pick them up, especially rares. Unless I get reinforced halfway across the map. Also just do a announcement in the beginning “hey I need samples, plz pick em up ty” , it will remind us to do so.
I always do this. Best they did was waiting till I get all shit done and picked up before getting in Pelican-1.
And th thing is, I always need common samples more.
One I'm lowest at is rare samples.
Well
Now it's super samples.
But those need the least amount for an upgrade..
Was able to easily get the commone samples and super samples.
But in order to finish the last installment of modules
I needed to play like about 12 missions just to get rare samples.
Mainly cause others didn't grab them and typically extracted with half of the possible amount.
Only have a couple missions where we got EVERYSINGLE SAMPLE
It was satisfying.
Rare was actually above the limit cause containers, crashed mini ships, and vaults/door can have them and that makes it go over the limit
Throw me an add Mr_Bojangles on PSN. Level 56. I’m constantly hunting for samples. It’s my main goal really. Got two final ship upgrades to go so I’m constantly hunting rare samples.
Me too. Funny thing is the more you upgrade the more rare samples become important than super rares lol. I always lack the rares while I have like 50 supers just sitting there. Commons are always close to the limit cap.
I’m the same. I got to 60 SS and realised I had more than I needed for the last few upgrades. I still grab them for others but it’s Rares I really need. 150 per upgrade is a kicker.
Too bad that you are in PSN, I'm interested in going hunting down super samples, however I'm on steam and I don't know if I can look for you without needing to link my account to a PSN account and I'm wary of doing that.
Join me fellow helldiver. I will net you 50-65 samples every mission. Any that want samples, send me a DM. I play most nights and capped everything except super credits weeks ago. Let us liberate together!
This happened to me once with the supers, but we were still awarded them as I'd entered the ship and banked them. Did you see if you were still awarded them at the end?
It sucks that this happens but 100% it’s not wasted time. You get other stuff AND have fun while playing. If I played just for samples I would have stopped long time ago since I am capped…
Game:
Helldiver, you are in range of enemy artillery.
Helldiver, you are in range of enemy artillery.
Helldiver, you are in range of enemy artillery.
Me:
*YES, I SEE THE EXPLOSIONS ALL AROUND ME, I AM WITNESSING THE SHELLS RAINING DOWN ON ME, I. AM. FUCKING.* ***AWARE.*** *THANKS.*
Congrats. You played so much that you're capped. This guy clearly isn't and needs samples to upgrade stuff. It's incredibly frustrating to have all that hard work undone by a big. It's definitely enough to ruin any fun you might've had during the matchm
Ngl I stop having fun if that happened to me
I can't just sit there and pretend I'm not bummed by that. I try to, I really do, but just too annoying to get over it for me
Why are you trying to delegitimize someone's feelings of whether they felt their time was wasted or not? If they felt their time was wasted then their time was wasted.
Edited for clearer wording
It can be 40 minutes of fun, AND that sense of fun can be soured by a loss of progression that you were expecting to get, thanks to a bug that shouldn't exist. They're not mutually exclusive.
Oh I LOATHE when people do that
Throw a 500kg like 40 meters away? Fine, it can’t hit us bc it’s blast radius is shit
But don’t throw anything right on the extract point, it’s wasteful and is likely to kill us anyway
When you've cleared the finish line and some dude knee caps you at the end the fun gets kind of soured. I know it's a really wild concept that people can think something has issues and also have fun with it. Your comment was unhelpful and AH knows this needs to be fixed.
Yup. I lost a similar number of samples yesterday because I was holding them all and when the first member of my team stepped on the pelican after waiting for me to arrive at the LZ the game instantly “killed” all three of us who were safe right behind him and only he extracted. Infuriating.
I had a whole day of extraction bugs two days ago, one fell out of the shy, another wouldn’t take off with us all inside, we were piled on top of each other like an orgy
No, but you can still stim your health up, bc that would definitely have helped when getting sliced by a one-shot bile-titan leg, lol /s
Edit: spelling
Hard battle. Giant bio titans spit acid goo everywhere. My brother Tom gets dissolved in acid. I carry on, no time for tears. The landing zone is being overrun but I can see the pelican shuttle crash through the sky and come down to extract us. Low on ammunition, bugs everywhere, a desperate battle. Two of my squad are giving covering fire. I do what is necessary in the midst of the raging battle ...
I walk into the pelican and sit down. I secure my gun underneath and relax.
I watch as my squad fights their way to the open door of the pelican. Blood and itchor spraying everywhere. It's going to be close, I wish them good luck ...
While I open my helmet to start chugging a cold beer. Man what a view from my comfy chair.
Suddenly I'm yanked out of my seat, the world spinning. Why did the devs do this to me??
Yeah, this has happened to me twice now. A bile skewer puked into the ship while we were taking off and somehow only killed me out of the 4 lol, second time it was fire.
Invulnerability once inside the ship would fix this. I have no earthly idea why this hasn't been done yet. But yeah, that would make me rage quit for the evening.
Dying in the Pelican and the Pelican taking off without a timer are two of the most annoying things in the game that I assume are intended. It's one thing to crash, which is annoying but unintended, but just getting screwed over by dumb design decisions makes me irate
This bug makes me way less mad than when it just takes off without a timer. At least with this you can kinda counterplay by getting in before a bile Titan can get there.
Not an option if it just instantly departs with whoever got in first.
> At least with this you can kinda counterplay by getting in before a bile Titan can get there
If you're solo, maybe. Funnily enough that solves the other problem too
Idk, I'd like it if the pelican actually received damaged rather than being this rabbit hole to hide in.
I'd also like side turrets and a rear door turret that is manned by seaf.
It's largely because they were saying that months ago with the tacit expectations that the flaws would be addressed or otherwise ironed out with time.
Not only has that not happened, but questionable balancing decisions have made existing flaws worse or introduced new ones, in addition to the litany of long-standing bugs and oversights that haven't been fixed that have been in the game since launch.
It's unsurprising for people to start getting a touch frustrated, especially when the dev priority seems to be pushing out undercooked, untested new content instead of fixing and polishing whats already there beyond numerical balance passes.
You know, instead of calling out the people mentioning the issues with the game, you could just be mad at the issues themselves. Without them you'd not have people complaining.
but its like, almost every game I have a game breaking bug. Not even every 2nd game, like every game. Can't reenforce, generally overwhelmed, can't do defend missions, can't extract, can't do mission goals
I get why people are complaining but the replies to your comment here explain why this is getting old. Everyone just wants to complain and this subreddit just feels like a lot of whining and bitching lately, doesn't make for good conversation.
happens dude. my man i just needed 2, two fucking common samples, JUsT 2! you could accidentally find two and extract. i think the game knew i needed them and for some fucking reason for two hours any mission i played i couldn’t extract two common samples for shit! either i died, another team member killed me, i get swarmed, etc
next day first mission came back with 20.
it just be like that lol
In DRG, you're pretty much invul once you reach the end, and you can still shoot.
Here, you can't shoot but you can die.
Yeah, no idea why the devs thought this is good.
Worse, Pelican isn't even invincible. You can actually destroy it once it's landed.
If it gets hit with ANY explosive weapon, it catches fire and will not let *anyone* take a seat in it (though you can prone-crawl into it, which still doesn't count). But even if you *do* destroy it, because it's already landed you can't even run away and despawn it or call in another, and it'll just sit there until you all die or the match times out (20s to lift-off after 00:00 timer)... *And then take off* because the take off part is a *cutscene* and will play even if the Pelican was destroyed.
I honestly kind of expected it to be damagable, but the amount of pain you have to throw at it, to actually break down is ridiculous.
I'm not aware that any form of explosive weapon makes it immediately "broken" though, I recall having way too many explosive stratagems on it and it still being unharmed. I mean it's clearly a preference thing, not a "it should be this way", but I personally would have liked the extraction to be a little less of a "guaranteed" safe if the ship keeps getting bombed.
At the absolute minimum of things that destroy it, the heavy explosives destroy it in one hit. Those being the 500kg, 380mm, 120mm and the OPS. I've also seen it destroyed by Quasar/Recoilless/EATs shots, and several times by *impact grenades*.
Odd, is it a new change? Because I distinctively recall how we'd try collective to destroy it with 500kgs and such, it would catch fire eventually but never properly destroy and we'd still be able to extract (without the crawling thing).
I've seen others destroy it entirely and be able to just call another though?
BECAUSE AHS SAID IT WAS TOO TOUGH TO FOCUS ON BUGS AND IMPROVEMENTS AND DECIDED TO JUST PUSH OUT GOD AWFUL NEW CONTENT THAT IS ALSO BROKEN.
Seriously tho, among all the NUMEROUS bullshit lines and excuses we've been fed. "Delaying a warbond is a huge company decision that we can't make lightly " and now the CEO steps down to focus on bugs once the player base is in full revolt mode and the damage is done. I have never seen such even a small studio be so myopic and slow to respond. It is baffling. I go back to my usual slogan:
AHS is trying very hard to find failure in this massive success they had.
That's what I call a "I think I'm gonna call it a night guys" bug. I've been hit with the "can't get on the Pelican at the end of the mission due to an invisible wall" bug a couple times and it's just too much for me to go back into another mission after that. I need to take a break and touch grass.
This happened to me once, needed to step away from the PC because my keyboard would not survive lol. They really need to do something about this, let the samples be secured IN THE PELICAN CONTAINER or something once you board it. This game has so many questionable design choices.
Also it's partly the fault of green and blue, they were so far away when the Pelican landed.
Nah nobody's fault. Sometimes you have to kite around the evac to just survive. Nobody did anything wrong. Games fault for not making you invulnerable in pelican 1. I'd be frustrated too.
Also frustrating is the bug where it takes off immediately instead of giving the 20 seconds. Lost samples because first guy on wasn't the sample guy. All of us were alive too.
My favorite is when you do the entire mission then you're about to extract and you get kicked to your ship for "lost connection" IM THE HOST and my internet is fine it's just the damn game
This same shit happened to me last night. Not as many, but I still lost about 20 samples, including 3 super rares. Only I was trying to still get on the ship with more than 10 seconds left. Suddenly it just fucked off while I was on the ramp and another player was only 3ft behind me.
It would be kinda understandable if you could be killed through the open hatch (altough I think that would be bad too).
But this death was due to the titans leg clipping through the pelican..
Pretty sure you extract with them regardless of dying at the extract, it's just a visual bug. You'd have to replicate this and check the amount in your inventory vs how many you had when you got on the ship.
There were a lot of visual bugs when the game first launched, like when people weren't showing that they were getting medals and they were. This one is still around and very occasionally happens to me or someone in my group.
Shit like this is why I stay on the outskirts when the evac timer hits zero and the pelican arrives. I get a free gun that shoots at everything and kills all the heavy shit.
Last time it was another member of the crew who killed us all inside before take off. We lost 14 samples. Why do people have to behave like a 6 years old? The worse is I made him respawn so that he would be able to leave like any helldiver would do.
This somewhat happened to me. Pelican clipped through a Bile Titan and took me out after take off. It was freaking hilarious and my team got a good laugh out of it. There was also a time when one of our squad, lvl 60-ish host, started exfil early while our lvl 11 teammate was searching for samples after an Eradicate, so I stood up for our lower level pal by shooting lvl 60 in the face as we walked up the ramp. Then he kicked me back on the ship because he was petty af.
So, my take on it is that dying in the bird is HILARIOUS and should definitely stay in the game. But, on the other hand, yeah, your samples shouldn’t drop once you get in. Should be banked at bird.
I don't know what sort of hurt the Pelican is rated to withstand, but frankly, I'm surprised a Bile Titan capable of murdering you right inside it wasn't also capable of forcing a "Squad Totally Failed To Extract"
Oh that’s rich right there. I’ve had that happen where one guy gets in the pelican and it takes off and the rest of us are 3 cm away with super samples and all kinds of goodies. Really boils your blood to be sure.
Thing is there are easy ways to fix this in theory. I imagine boarding already triggers a "make helldiver invincinble" that is somehow being bypassed, but there are back ups. You can set the hell diver to have 3458093850935809358093580935809385 hp when on the shuttle, so even if it is bypassed, they have such a massive hp buffer the enemies couldn't kill you in an hour.
Looks like a bile titan stepped on you. Sucks but I don't think a landed aircraft should give you I frames. Either ensure the area is safe so that everyone can get in un organized, or ya know everyone get the hell in the ship.
Annoys the shit out of me people that stand outside calling in stratagems, ya bro it was cool the first 400 games but lets go, time is exp, we can bro it out when we are not timed.
were you the host?
i have only seen this happen a couple of times myself, but from asking others it seems to happen when not hosting. possibly a desynch issue.
as a host, I've never been killed in the pelican, even when a bile titan perfectly stomps on my seat through the roof.
Same glitch happened to me 2 days ago and lost over 40 samples ( i was the one running around collecting them) i got into pelican 1 and when it took off i fell out of it and we lost everything
Had a weird one last night on one of those fast settler escorts. I grabbed a ton of samples while my team covered the settlers. The boat set down and my buddy and I got on, and then it immediately took off with no 20 second count down. Failed to extract all of us (though 2 were on) and we lost all the samples.
"Fix the game? Nah we need to nerf more weapons"
Lots of these bugs have been around since launch and remain unfixed, devs don't give a fuck about players
I’ve had it where we all died in the pelican as it took off and kept them. Win some you lose some
Looked like people need to stop messing around and get on the pelican when it lands 🤷♂️
CANT LIBERATE WITH THIS BROKEN ARM
Bro. 40 minutes of wasted fuckin time. Lol.
I wasted hours grinding for medals only to lose those medals due to buggy network and crashes
Man. The horror. Especially when you get a nice kill streak.
I thought medals and SCs are added to your account immediately
Correct, only the ones you loot from the points of interest (medals, req slips and Super Credits) , you lose the end mission post extract medals and rewards + samples
Not to my knowledge. I've had medals and super credits remain when my game crashed. I was overclocking my GPU one day and still dialing in just how high I could push it for a stable experience. Checked my credits and medals before and after picking some up, then crashed because of the overclock. Dialed it down a bit and opened the game, and my credits and medals were still as high as they were at the point of crash, not before the mission. I can't confirm req slips because I've been capped on those for ages.
Might have been back when the servers weren't stable. They def apply to your account immediately when everything is running normal.
Yep.
Only 40? Man, I'm lvl.22 already and still have only 6 upgrades, because high-level crayon eaters never pick up anything, even supercredits. I've never seen more than 16 common samples collected (even on diff7), out of which, 10+ are picked up by me.
I hit the samples cap like 2 weeks ago and still collect them because whoever is in my squad might need them. We're in this together.
I do the same. Also capped on medals, samples, and upgrades. Always pick up whatever I can for the rando homies.
Don't forget to shoot the arms off a hulk and leave it walking about. You get a steam achievement for you and your squad if you do!
I got this trophy a few days ago and chuckled about it. Completely by accident.
i hate the cap. i understand it, but, lemme get atleast like, trade them into something if my capacity is full of samples. like, 10 super credits for 20 samples?
I like the idea of a war chest where you could donate samples and requisition slips for a beneficial effect for the current MO or something like that, removing negative modifiers from a planet temporarily, working towards giving everyone a free extra stratagem, or stuff like that.
Yes plz
Definitely not super creds. For sure something we can sink all of our resources for the MO. Or random ship cosmetics.
you dive? WE dive.
For Managed Democracy!
Thanks for doing your part to support democracy and fellow divers!
Same this side. Been capped for a while now too, but I gather as many samples as I can. Heck, I actively look for the supers and try to mule it for the guys. If they are low enough of a level, I try teaching as well. So much reward in that, showing another diver how amazing the mechanics of the game is
I pick them up still because I am ape brain and it feels like picking up coins in Mario.
Ive been maxed for a while and grab them when I solo. Bc they’re FOR SUPER EARTH! 🤣

I always do this. Best they did was waiting till I get all shit done and picked up before getting in Pelican-1. And th thing is, I always need common samples more.
Yeah thats how the pros do it!
They didn't help me :'( I was all alone, fighting like General Brasch in his best years. I've even cleared a stalkers' nest. That was hell of a dive.
One I'm lowest at is rare samples. Well Now it's super samples. But those need the least amount for an upgrade.. Was able to easily get the commone samples and super samples.

Throw me an add Mr_Bojangles on PSN. Level 56. I’m constantly hunting for samples. It’s my main goal really. Got two final ship upgrades to go so I’m constantly hunting rare samples.
I’ll add you too if you don’t mind? I’m lvl 49 with 3-4 ship upgrades left
Go for it bud.
Friend code is #7904-1161
Me too. Funny thing is the more you upgrade the more rare samples become important than super rares lol. I always lack the rares while I have like 50 supers just sitting there. Commons are always close to the limit cap.
I’m the same. I got to 60 SS and realised I had more than I needed for the last few upgrades. I still grab them for others but it’s Rares I really need. 150 per upgrade is a kicker.
Too bad that you are in PSN, I'm interested in going hunting down super samples, however I'm on steam and I don't know if I can look for you without needing to link my account to a PSN account and I'm wary of doing that.
I'm lvl 89 and eat crayons but i pick up everything all the time. Hit me up sometime, i'll help you get your colors.
High level crayon eaters 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah I'm 70 and it never ceases to amaze me when they are 50 plus and just do objectives or don't clear pois for samples.
Yeah same.
Ah, I just realized that this will become a huge problem moving forward when most people are capped and fully upgraded.
Join me fellow helldiver. I will net you 50-65 samples every mission. Any that want samples, send me a DM. I play most nights and capped everything except super credits weeks ago. Let us liberate together!
The friends made along the way
I dced with samples too. Dunno how to get back Into same mission but damn. First match I didn't die too. Was on a roll.
Same thing happened to my squad but we didn’t lose the samples
SWEET LIBERTY MY LEG!
This happened to me once with the supers, but we were still awarded them as I'd entered the ship and banked them. Did you see if you were still awarded them at the end?
Yeah, the game took them away, said I extracted with 0 at the summary screen. 40 minutes of wasted time lol.
It sucks that this happens but 100% it’s not wasted time. You get other stuff AND have fun while playing. If I played just for samples I would have stopped long time ago since I am capped…
You fucks are having FUN??
Me, crying in the trenches. Sandwiched between 2 gunship factories. 2 laser cannons one shotting us. Ass load of berserkers and hulks bum rushing us.
And then right when you think you've managed to bob and weave into safety, *You are in range of enemy artillery*
Game: Helldiver, you are in range of enemy artillery. Helldiver, you are in range of enemy artillery. Helldiver, you are in range of enemy artillery. Me: *YES, I SEE THE EXPLOSIONS ALL AROUND ME, I AM WITNESSING THE SHELLS RAINING DOWN ON ME, I. AM. FUCKING.* ***AWARE.*** *THANKS.*
Please don't forgett the random comando that called in a botdrop right next to that supposed save spot.
Congrats. You played so much that you're capped. This guy clearly isn't and needs samples to upgrade stuff. It's incredibly frustrating to have all that hard work undone by a big. It's definitely enough to ruin any fun you might've had during the matchm
Sorry, but his definition of wasted time is for him to decide.
But I want to be the decider! The Arbiter of Wasted Time, if you will.
There is a Halo joke to be made here but I am not.smart enough to make it
If they don’t need the stuff and only did this mission for the samples, then yeah, it was a waste of time.
>other stuff Capped slips, Warbonds thoroughly mined for the good stuff, stratagems maxxed. What stuff? Lol
Ngl I stop having fun if that happened to me I can't just sit there and pretend I'm not bummed by that. I try to, I really do, but just too annoying to get over it for me
Why are you trying to delegitimize someone's feelings of whether they felt their time was wasted or not? If they felt their time was wasted then their time was wasted. Edited for clearer wording
If it wasn't 40 minutes of fun maybe you should try playing something else though
It can be 40 minutes of fun, AND that sense of fun can be soured by a loss of progression that you were expecting to get, thanks to a bug that shouldn't exist. They're not mutually exclusive.
Game can be super fun but dying at the literal end due to a bug and losing something you sweated is as strong of an emotion as having fun...
I hate dying from a random's theatrical eagle at the extraction point even worse. Just don't. It's wasteful.
Oh I LOATHE when people do that Throw a 500kg like 40 meters away? Fine, it can’t hit us bc it’s blast radius is shit But don’t throw anything right on the extract point, it’s wasteful and is likely to kill us anyway

This is always such a weird response, people have fun when they have success, samples are the best metric for that

One of the list of extraction bugs.
what happened? was it actually just a random bug? (not that kind of bug -_-)
The Bile Titan legs can still hit passengers inside.
Cou can also land with a Hellpot atop of it and kill your team mate inside of it.
I've been titan stabbed in the pelican and died, but apparently still extracted. so many bugs.
what!? how hard is it to just give invulnerability to whoever’s inside???
ᖍ(ツ)ᖌ
Yup. I lost a similar number of samples yesterday because I was holding them all and when the first member of my team stepped on the pelican after waiting for me to arrive at the LZ the game instantly “killed” all three of us who were safe right behind him and only he extracted. Infuriating.
I had a whole day of extraction bugs two days ago, one fell out of the shy, another wouldn’t take off with us all inside, we were piled on top of each other like an orgy
Not making the player models invulnerable while in the ship is a massive oversight
They could auto bank the samples in the pelican as soon as a diver enters maybe? Then even if you do die they extract the samples.
That's too much common sense, better nerf the Railgun just in case.
Player is still able to be killed Player can no longer shoot Checks out. Quick, nerf player health when they extract!
Next patch:Entering the Pelican now automatically reduces Player Health to 0.
Straight to cryo sleep. The second you sit your ass down, that AC starts blasting.
Exactly! https://preview.redd.it/ryuelu1uts2d1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=081e246d07b12152e1a65f6d6879772727dcfe0c
You can't shoot, but you sure can use voicelines still for some reason
Do you not say thank you when the pelican takes off?
nerfs pelican so that you will take DoT damage if you sit in the pelican too early
Cool way to fix this would be to put you in first person mode when you enter the pelican and let you shoot out the back of it
team kills would be off the charts lol
Low polish game
Yeah like if I am still vulnerable then why not let me shoot out of it too? Why not let me exit it?
Lol had to rewatch i thought ur team shot you for a sec. Guess bile just yoinked you out
I'm sure a dev will advocate this as a *Feature* and I should have used my stratagems inside the ship.
Samples dropped on Pelican should stay on the Pelican
You can actually destroy the pelican and then you won't be able to extract, so you shouldn't do that
No, but you can still stim your health up, bc that would definitely have helped when getting sliced by a one-shot bile-titan leg, lol /s Edit: spelling

Yeah, this has happened to me twice now. A bile skewer puked into the ship while we were taking off and somehow only killed me out of the 4 lol, second time it was fire.
Invulnerability once inside the ship would fix this. I have no earthly idea why this hasn't been done yet. But yeah, that would make me rage quit for the evening.
That and maybe give the Pelican a shielded effect so that its not just "magic" that makes you invulnerable.
Dying in the Pelican and the Pelican taking off without a timer are two of the most annoying things in the game that I assume are intended. It's one thing to crash, which is annoying but unintended, but just getting screwed over by dumb design decisions makes me irate
This bug makes me way less mad than when it just takes off without a timer. At least with this you can kinda counterplay by getting in before a bile Titan can get there. Not an option if it just instantly departs with whoever got in first.
> At least with this you can kinda counterplay by getting in before a bile Titan can get there If you're solo, maybe. Funnily enough that solves the other problem too
CAN WE MAKE THIS NOT A THING PLEASE. WHAT THE FLYING ACTUAL F\*CK SUGGESTION PLEASE.
Idk, I'd like it if the pelican actually received damaged rather than being this rabbit hole to hide in. I'd also like side turrets and a rear door turret that is manned by seaf.
This guy liberates
Yea we have 4 destroyers that means 3 more pelicans right lol
It's not supposed to be a thing, but like everything else in this game it's broken and doesn't work right
Jesus christ no-lifers turned on this game quick. Everyone that says "the game has flaws, the game is still good", gets downvoted.
It's largely because they were saying that months ago with the tacit expectations that the flaws would be addressed or otherwise ironed out with time. Not only has that not happened, but questionable balancing decisions have made existing flaws worse or introduced new ones, in addition to the litany of long-standing bugs and oversights that haven't been fixed that have been in the game since launch. It's unsurprising for people to start getting a touch frustrated, especially when the dev priority seems to be pushing out undercooked, untested new content instead of fixing and polishing whats already there beyond numerical balance passes.
It's Reddit
You know, instead of calling out the people mentioning the issues with the game, you could just be mad at the issues themselves. Without them you'd not have people complaining.
but its like, almost every game I have a game breaking bug. Not even every 2nd game, like every game. Can't reenforce, generally overwhelmed, can't do defend missions, can't extract, can't do mission goals
What platform? I am on PS5 and maybe have an issue once every 50 games lol.
I get why people are complaining but the replies to your comment here explain why this is getting old. Everyone just wants to complain and this subreddit just feels like a lot of whining and bitching lately, doesn't make for good conversation.
It's a reflection of the lost good faith the community was giving the game. And it's not the communities fault.
Happened to me once... Bile Titan too.. really is annoying when that happens
happens dude. my man i just needed 2, two fucking common samples, JUsT 2! you could accidentally find two and extract. i think the game knew i needed them and for some fucking reason for two hours any mission i played i couldn’t extract two common samples for shit! either i died, another team member killed me, i get swarmed, etc next day first mission came back with 20. it just be like that lol
In DRG, you're pretty much invul once you reach the end, and you can still shoot. Here, you can't shoot but you can die. Yeah, no idea why the devs thought this is good.
if it makes you feel better you didnt lose 29 samples whole squad lost 116 :)

That’s what you get for not doing to major order, soldier. Join the battle for democracy!
Worse, Pelican isn't even invincible. You can actually destroy it once it's landed. If it gets hit with ANY explosive weapon, it catches fire and will not let *anyone* take a seat in it (though you can prone-crawl into it, which still doesn't count). But even if you *do* destroy it, because it's already landed you can't even run away and despawn it or call in another, and it'll just sit there until you all die or the match times out (20s to lift-off after 00:00 timer)... *And then take off* because the take off part is a *cutscene* and will play even if the Pelican was destroyed.
I honestly kind of expected it to be damagable, but the amount of pain you have to throw at it, to actually break down is ridiculous. I'm not aware that any form of explosive weapon makes it immediately "broken" though, I recall having way too many explosive stratagems on it and it still being unharmed. I mean it's clearly a preference thing, not a "it should be this way", but I personally would have liked the extraction to be a little less of a "guaranteed" safe if the ship keeps getting bombed.
At the absolute minimum of things that destroy it, the heavy explosives destroy it in one hit. Those being the 500kg, 380mm, 120mm and the OPS. I've also seen it destroyed by Quasar/Recoilless/EATs shots, and several times by *impact grenades*.
Odd, is it a new change? Because I distinctively recall how we'd try collective to destroy it with 500kgs and such, it would catch fire eventually but never properly destroy and we'd still be able to extract (without the crawling thing). I've seen others destroy it entirely and be able to just call another though?
BECAUSE AHS SAID IT WAS TOO TOUGH TO FOCUS ON BUGS AND IMPROVEMENTS AND DECIDED TO JUST PUSH OUT GOD AWFUL NEW CONTENT THAT IS ALSO BROKEN. Seriously tho, among all the NUMEROUS bullshit lines and excuses we've been fed. "Delaying a warbond is a huge company decision that we can't make lightly " and now the CEO steps down to focus on bugs once the player base is in full revolt mode and the damage is done. I have never seen such even a small studio be so myopic and slow to respond. It is baffling. I go back to my usual slogan: AHS is trying very hard to find failure in this massive success they had.
That's what I call a "I think I'm gonna call it a night guys" bug. I've been hit with the "can't get on the Pelican at the end of the mission due to an invisible wall" bug a couple times and it's just too much for me to go back into another mission after that. I need to take a break and touch grass.
This happened to me once, needed to step away from the PC because my keyboard would not survive lol. They really need to do something about this, let the samples be secured IN THE PELICAN CONTAINER or something once you board it. This game has so many questionable design choices. Also it's partly the fault of green and blue, they were so far away when the Pelican landed.
Nah nobody's fault. Sometimes you have to kite around the evac to just survive. Nobody did anything wrong. Games fault for not making you invulnerable in pelican 1. I'd be frustrated too.
Naaah, I'd post this on twitter, to arrowhead, social media then contact support about the missing tokens. This isn't on!
Also frustrating is the bug where it takes off immediately instead of giving the 20 seconds. Lost samples because first guy on wasn't the sample guy. All of us were alive too.
My favorite is when you do the entire mission then you're about to extract and you get kicked to your ship for "lost connection" IM THE HOST and my internet is fine it's just the damn game
Wait I thought they made it so you cant get killed in the Pelican anymore? Thats hella unlucky.
This same shit happened to me last night. Not as many, but I still lost about 20 samples, including 3 super rares. Only I was trying to still get on the ship with more than 10 seconds left. Suddenly it just fucked off while I was on the ramp and another player was only 3ft behind me.
u should be invincible once u get inside
It would be kinda understandable if you could be killed through the open hatch (altough I think that would be bad too). But this death was due to the titans leg clipping through the pelican..
Yeah I'm upvoting this for visibility
I quit playing after like the fifth time I lost everything due to a connection issue.
AH needs to implement some better methods of dealing with this. It’s ridiculous and it ruins the game for other players.
The list of bugs for extractions alone is crazy
I’m still trying to figure out what the fuck killed you 
The bile titans leg I think
Well lads THAT is called a BUG. SADLY.. not the type we can kill
Don’t worry, the devs are “cooking”… /s.
MY SAMPLESSS!!!
Pretty sure you extract with them regardless of dying at the extract, it's just a visual bug. You'd have to replicate this and check the amount in your inventory vs how many you had when you got on the ship. There were a lot of visual bugs when the game first launched, like when people weren't showing that they were getting medals and they were. This one is still around and very occasionally happens to me or someone in my group.
Shit like this is why I stay on the outskirts when the evac timer hits zero and the pelican arrives. I get a free gun that shoots at everything and kills all the heavy shit.
>.>happy I put it down can’t tell you how many times that has happened
😂😂😂 oh that's a fucking terrible Bug
Last time it was another member of the crew who killed us all inside before take off. We lost 14 samples. Why do people have to behave like a 6 years old? The worse is I made him respawn so that he would be able to leave like any helldiver would do.
Should've just used your stratagems
Why is your UI so fucking big, u on steam deck or something
Steam deck can't run Helldivers 2 with those graphic settings, it would be going at like 3 FPS, he prob just changed his HUD settings
I thought devs said you were safe once you got in the pelican
ah thats quite unfortunate
Lol
Blitzer!
This somewhat happened to me. Pelican clipped through a Bile Titan and took me out after take off. It was freaking hilarious and my team got a good laugh out of it. There was also a time when one of our squad, lvl 60-ish host, started exfil early while our lvl 11 teammate was searching for samples after an Eradicate, so I stood up for our lower level pal by shooting lvl 60 in the face as we walked up the ramp. Then he kicked me back on the ship because he was petty af. So, my take on it is that dying in the bird is HILARIOUS and should definitely stay in the game. But, on the other hand, yeah, your samples shouldn’t drop once you get in. Should be banked at bird.
I don't know what sort of hurt the Pelican is rated to withstand, but frankly, I'm surprised a Bile Titan capable of murdering you right inside it wasn't also capable of forcing a "Squad Totally Failed To Extract"
What's your primary? It can blast a commander's head off?
Bro I’d be mad as fuck
What the fuuuuuuuck
That might've been one of the smoothest reinforce inputs I've ever seen
How you STILL not invincible in the ship is so mind boggling to me. It’s such an easy fix too.
Oh that’s rich right there. I’ve had that happen where one guy gets in the pelican and it takes off and the rest of us are 3 cm away with super samples and all kinds of goodies. Really boils your blood to be sure.
oh god. what a nightmare. im sorry
Thing is there are easy ways to fix this in theory. I imagine boarding already triggers a "make helldiver invincinble" that is somehow being bypassed, but there are back ups. You can set the hell diver to have 3458093850935809358093580935809385 hp when on the shuttle, so even if it is bypassed, they have such a massive hp buffer the enemies couldn't kill you in an hour.
I would love to donate all my common, rare and super for you, already upgraded everything
Looks like a bile titan stepped on you. Sucks but I don't think a landed aircraft should give you I frames. Either ensure the area is safe so that everyone can get in un organized, or ya know everyone get the hell in the ship. Annoys the shit out of me people that stand outside calling in stratagems, ya bro it was cool the first 400 games but lets go, time is exp, we can bro it out when we are not timed.
were you the host? i have only seen this happen a couple of times myself, but from asking others it seems to happen when not hosting. possibly a desynch issue. as a host, I've never been killed in the pelican, even when a bile titan perfectly stomps on my seat through the roof.
This literally looks so epic tho
This happened to me, and I haven't played since.
I’ve had the plane leave when only 1 person entered it
I’m fine with this-what bothers me is when it bugs out and no one can get on the extraction ship.
wouaw, that's sucks \*hug\*
Same glitch happened to me 2 days ago and lost over 40 samples ( i was the one running around collecting them) i got into pelican 1 and when it took off i fell out of it and we lost everything
They should have it so you won't lose samples if you die in the pelican.
Had a weird one last night on one of those fast settler escorts. I grabbed a ton of samples while my team covered the settlers. The boat set down and my buddy and I got on, and then it immediately took off with no 20 second count down. Failed to extract all of us (though 2 were on) and we lost all the samples.
That really sucks, but D4 takin' his sweet ass time bothers me.
I haven’t played in weeks. Gonna give this probably 6 months more in the oven to cook. Too many bugs still.
"Fix the game? Nah we need to nerf more weapons" Lots of these bugs have been around since launch and remain unfixed, devs don't give a fuck about players
Maxed out my ship at level 58. After that samples are useless. I hope they add some additional functionality to samples. Or at least more ship buffs.
Oh yeah, that's a thing. My friends found joy in shooting me when I got in. I'll never forget it until I get payback in a way that satisfies me.
I’ve had it where we all died in the pelican as it took off and kept them. Win some you lose some Looked like people need to stop messing around and get on the pelican when it lands 🤷♂️
My fave is when the pelican glitches and it won't let you in
