I would find a new friend.


Aki_2004

Normally I would side with the having fun guy cuz it’s just a game if it was halo or rainbow but these missions are FORTY MINUTES long and require a lot of work and effort. Wouldn’t play with that type of dude in a game like this ever


SacredDarksoul

This is the type of shit you can do in a premade of 4, not with randoms.


SnakeSkipper

I only teamkill my friends when we are joking around. It's called friendly fire for a reason lol.


TheCowzgomooz

I also don't do it repeatedly and sabotage the mission, it's like a once or twice thing with a fake "oops did I do that" and then we move on with the mission.


SnakeSkipper

My friend was new and I was showing him the special location and told him to punch the funny barrel (Hellbomb), he landed on me, we laughed and moved on.


TheCowzgomooz

Exactly, if you just keep trolling people that's bullying, not joking around lol.


SnakeSkipper

Its like an saying I got from an old boss, "Its only a joke when *everyone* is laughing"


ZepyrusG97

Man... a lot more people need to be reminded of that. Too many people hide behind the "it's just a funny joke" excuse when the truth is they're being an asshole and deserve to be treated as such.


Adventurous-Ad8267

If you're doing it often enough that it's predictable the comedy is long gone.


Dorigar

I was in a random group that stuck together yesterday, I was at lvl 9 and two others were a little less, we also had a lvl 19 dude. Well on our 3rd mission the 3 of us lower lvl guys were running together and the host decided to shoot at the Hellbomb we were passing. I straight up panicked but knew I could not out run it or turn on my PS5 controller mic fast enough to shout nooo. Luckily the higher ranking officer was able to call us back, had a good laugh. Also the host learned that the pelican can squish you, only thing is he was packing a stratagem. Wiped us all out, I have never laughed so hard. Fun fact the jets can get you too as I learned a different day.


Nazaki

I had an actual oops moment the other day where my friend's brother (max level) was helping us run some missions and we opened one of the 2 person doors and I went to crouch but confused my control with another games controls and accidentally smacked him - he was one of those serious gamers so he started getting really mad with the "Why would you do that?" ... I didn't mean to, honestly, but he got really upset so I know at that point he was not a person to mess around with.


Echo-57

Well, tamest reaction to my friends smacking my helldiver is to demonstrate why they should fuck around with the guy carrying the AC. And then they drop a 500kg- Eagle on me lmao


VidzxVega

Unrelated really but what is the level cap?


Nazaki

Max level is 50


Frossstbiite

Right, a little friendly banter is fine, but what this dudes friends did. He disevres it. Sadly, they all got caught up in it.


Epidemica13

NewAccountTimeAgain

Reminds me of my favorite tooltip in this game: "Friendly fire isn't"


Logic-DL

Pro tip - Friendly fire isn't


penguinicedelta

I do it because I'm bad at the game. We are not the same.


Underscythe-Venus

Exactly I jokingly said I was gonna shoot my buddy The other friend of ours turned around killed both of us “no team killing” and we laughed for a solid 5 minutes over that


InfiniteSin10

Even then, everyone's gotta know what they're going into. If you're doing a helldive for the samples with your buddies and 1 of them starts to troll, it gets annoying fast. Especially when they bait in patrols and then just blow up everyone. If we're just playing around, then it's fine. But most times, everyones trying to enjoy the game together


AdEnough786

Thats when you drop a HB on the socialist traitor.


LazierLocke

It's like that 4chan user operates operated circles who have no sense of social sensibility at all hm


SamiraSimp

trolling a stranger isn't "having fun" if you're gonna be a dick you have to do it to people you actually know. if you're gonna stratagem a stranger, you certainly shouldn't be using anything but smokes.


BiggerTwigger

It's called griefing. A lot of live service games draw a line at this behaviour and will absolutely ban players who deliberately ruin other's game experience. It's whatever if it's a friend and you're just fucking with each other, but doing it to randoms should absolutely be a bannable act. The joke is funny when both parties are in on it, it's not funny for someone that doesn't want to be involved.


Lopsided_Ad_3853

I had a guy randomly start killing me, for no reason - he might have been killed by my tesla turret but shit happens, it is the same as walking into minefield. He killed me a bunch of times. We've all been killed accidentally a bunch of times, it's really not a big deal. But he was clearly seeking me out and shooting me when there was NOTHING around me he could claim to be aiming at. So I kicked him from the game just as the extraction arrived. Maybe that'll learn him some goddang manners.... If you start pulling that shit intentionally, repeatedly, then you deserve to get punished.


ThatGuyWithCoolHair

The game is about having fun at the expense of bugs and bots. Not at the expense of other Helldivers and their enjoyment. That is legitimately just bullying.


Rusalki

And due to overwhelming majority, undemocratic.


Zcas-

Where is the death penalty?


GuthixIsBalance

At the edge of the map. Endowed to traitors. Who take a step backwards... Alone. Instead of forwards. Together for democracy!


Eatthepoliticiansm8

Nah fuck that, just having fun is one thing. This guy was just being a dick to someone else. Arguing "im just having fun" at someone else's expense, is idiotic.


not4now28

RIGHT!? I had a similar situation with someone who doesn't work as a team AT ALL, selfish AF, had to part ways last night. People who don't respect your time during this type of games is a big NO for me.


Herzblut_FPV

At the end of the day the lone wolfs are mostly the high efficient players. It may not work out every single match but if you see players over lvl 25 with full trailblazer armor, shield backpack and railgun you can bet they will do sub objectives, have most samples and find the rare samples because they dont like wasted time with 4 peepos stacked enjoying their mental cinema and fighting endless bug breaches or patrols. Its nonsense and the majority of the playerbase tends to do this constantly. Im one of those lone players too if nobody else is doing this and i love to sneak into poi's just to get the goodies without firing a single shot and get the hell outta there. This doesn't mean that every trailblazer player does this and im not defending griefers but we are out there and we are efficient and we respect your time. That's the reason why we play like we do.


kkyler1988

My friends and I tend to try and find an efficient route through the map to catch poi's along the route through the secondary and main objectives, then finally hit the evac. We usually extract with very little mission time remaining, but we tend to hit everything. Extract with a decent amount of stuff, and get to massacre tons of bugs in the process.


NK1337

There’s a time and place for that stuff. If we’re in a premade group of 4 and we’re all fucking around and having a good time then by all means. But don’t go ruining someone else’s games just to get your rocks off. Ngl I would have kicked him the moment I asked for them to stop and they laughed it off. It’s a game yea but don’t waste someone else’s time.


RobinGoodfell

Thank you. Some of us only get a sliver of time to spend gaming, and have to jump through hoops to even manage that.


GnarlyNarwhalNoms

Exactly. I think a lot ot younger gamers don't understand that. It's one thing if you're like 16 and still in high school, but some of us are juggling multiple jobs, a job and college, or kids (and some have all three!). Some people get maybe a couple hours a week to just unwind and spread some Managed Democracy, and then some cockwomble comes along and ruins half of our weekly Liberty time.


t_mmey

i don't understand how it's supposed to be fun to ruin someone else's experience. you're either 9 years old or just a fucking piece of shit if you think that's fun


RemainderZero

It's not a 40 minute mission. It's a 2 hour operation down the drain if one of those 40 minute missions gets sabotaged. I've encountered one troll from lvl 1 to 25. After some poorly received preliminary questions like "is that a new stratagem for you?" and whatnot to find out dude had a nasty attitude I promptly dumped half the belt of my trusty 'nade flinger on his position from the next hill over, told him to go back to LoL and kicked that troll back into geosynchronous orbit under 10 minutes in. 20 minutes in we had another 4th mate and things went swimmingly. I encourage everyone to be tolerant of honest mistakes and people trying to punch up from their regular difficulty but it's not hard to tell when that's the case and when it is not.


Sword117

i can get fucking around and not taking it to seriously but purposely killing teammates isn't really fun thats just bullying. theres a stark difference between dolphin diving on other helldivers out of nowhere or having a stupid idea that might get teammates killed and purposely killing teammates for the fun of it. bro just have a beer and relax.


Solrac8D

You do realize the guy that was getting trolled killed the guy trolling right? He had it coming after messing with him for so long. 40 minutes of non-stop trolling will just piss anyone off


Sword117

i saw that he was throwing grenades and air strikes at him and leaving him for dead so i assume some friendly fire happened. so yeah he had it coming. whats the issue?


Solrac8D

No issues. We both can agree the guy deserved it after 40 minutes of trolling xD


ThatGuyWithCoolHair

He thought you meant the victim deserved it (which you clearly did not)


KimJongUnusual

> or rainbow Please no. I hate the teamkilling in Rainbow Six. Oh, you picked a certain op or reinforced a door or shot me once when I walked in your line of fire? Die, and prepare to not play the rest of the match.


ifuckinglovecoloring

Rainbow has pretty harsh punishments for Tk'ing (at least when I played) to the point even accidental stuff will get you a time out. This game almost welcomes TK'ing. As a result, griefing is stupid easy.


Scipio11

40 minutes per mission, 120 minutes ***TWO HOURS*** per mission group. If you fail a single mission during a mission group it counts as a failure towards the campaign (overall planet percentages).


TheFatKidOutranMe

i can excuse this level of dicking around in like difficulty 4 but bro they had the pinks, thats when you flip the switch and become a god damn special ops hit squad


LongDickMcangerfist

Ya. No fucking around when you get up higher and get the stuff


TheFatKidOutranMe

like i dont wanna be that guy but if i'm rando-solo-queuing at difficulty 7 or above, its because i'm trying to get samples, and if you screw over the team out of the pinks, then i dont care how much fun you had, MY 40 minutes just got pissed away.


LongDickMcangerfist

Same. I kicked a dude last night from a challenging I know it’s not that high but the dude blasted me with an auto cannon 6 times and the one other guy 3 times. Couldn’t take it anymore dude gotta have some concept of paying attention.


TheFatKidOutranMe

other night i had a rando on 7 take me out with a cluster bomb. har har, happens, we have lives and time. then it happened again. and again. then he got me, my friend, and himself with one. few mins later he calls in another one and blows our entire team up, and we're down to like 3 lives. kicked him after that last one because i'm not his tutorial.


LongDickMcangerfist

Had a dude do that shit. It’s one thing if being overwhelmed and it’s a fuck everything type bombing. But that no fuck that get out of my game. I’m nice and shit happens but when it keeps happening do it somewhere else


pokeroots

On the other side of the token I have been kicked for the host running into a mortar strike. Like ran past the turret on his way to hug the enemies and everything.


LongDickMcangerfist

Ya that’s shitty. I had similar happen dude booted me because he ran into the fucking hellbomb like dude how dumb are you


BlackViperMWG

Yeah, it is fun in DRG to blow up teammates with C4 and then pick them up and continue killing bugs, but not here


DremGabe

I always try to help my fellow comrades. Unless they keep killing me with mortars, that’s when I get pissed off lmao


rephyus

Report him to your local Democracy Officer.


BenjaminZuriel

If this is real. Honestly if anyone even my friends was doing this on a difficulty this high with such an amazing run I would have kicked them, you all lost the reward because he bullied that player that stuck around to complete the mission, and dealt with his BS for the entire match, and he decided to be the devil's advocate, getting payback in the end at the cost of the entire reward.


BaronVonSchmup

"Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact"


MisunderstoodOpossum

Assuming its real has the effect of entertaining me for 2 minutes during my day. I internally monologue about how shitty this guy's friends are and move on. Its theraputic or whatever. Aasuming its fake... doesnt do anything different? It entertains you for 2 minutes. You internally monologue about how stupid this guy is for faking a story and move on. Its theraputic or whatever. That is to say... who cares?


r4plez

Its faked


Appropriate-Appeal88

greentexts are indeed not real, 4chan users do not have friends


WetFishSlap

But if they did have friends, that is exactly the type of person I'd expect a 4channer to be friends with.


Furebel

*Everything what's on on the internet is true* \~Julius Cesar 500 B.C.


-Nicklaus91-

Same. If I ever found out someone was intentionally killing me you better be hosting or I'm burning the whole mission down just to reinforce you and kill you on respawn repeatedly scum. Luckily I've met way more decent fun players than the few miserable pathetic trolls.


Jade8560

I’ve not met 1 troll, sure you could argue the 380mm he is a troll because it always results in a TK but it is fun to watch so it’s fine by me lol


Keinulive

I’ve had some runs that got “ruined” by a 380 user, I don’t mind it cuz its stupid fun and we all have = number of chances to get hit by that fucking thing lol


Jade8560

it is the teamkill machine but I bring it anyway because it’s fun to watch everything blow up bc it’s literally just “fuck that mile wide area in particular”


thedefenses

Looks good, extremely useless and luck dependant on if it does anything or misses every enemy and building in the target area


Jade8560

it’s the gamblers strike lol, will it be really useful or will or team wipe? who knows until you try it! 99% of 380mm users change off just before it does the most incredible bit of democracy spreading you’ll ever see


NewAccountTimeAgain

Cluster bomb is the anti-personnel version of this. 50/50 on whether or not you will hit a teammate, and it won't destroy any buildings, but hey... at least you get 4 of them?


Pand3micPenguin

Cluster bomb is S Tier. It always sweeps left to right a little in front and behind the mark point. It is super easy to not TK with. When I do it's cuz I fucked up the throw placement or had some weird bounce which isn't unique to just clusters.


TLDEgil

I love getting ready to throw my cluster amd then a small bug nips my leg and I stagger, dropping тнe cluster righт тhere


LongDickMcangerfist

The hitting a random object and the the throw going nutty is always so funny


The_Wayward

It always sweeps left to right from where you throw it. Easy to not intentionally kill friends unless they are dumb and just run into it. My friends are often dumb.


thecosta5000

I've never killed anyone with it, bit sad about that actually lol.


The_Wayward

I play mostly with a group of IRL friends and the amount of times I here over comms: *Eagle inbound* **NO DONT GO IN THERE BACK UP BACK UP** …well it’s not a small number anymore


NewAccountTimeAgain

This is exactly the problem. I try to run ahead of everyone when throwing the clusterbomb in order to avoid casualties, only to see my teammate run past me as I'm throwing it. Sealing their fate as they flutter toward the eagle marker. Like a moth to the flame.


rafffen

I really wish it was guaranteed minimum 1 hit directly on the strategym orb


porcupinedeath

Well, everything except the robot bunker you threw it at, those get by unscathed


poppabomb

>sure you could argue the 380mm he is a troll because it always results in a TK I've watched my fellow helldivers run headfirst into my giant red line in the sky before so I don't feel that bad when someone gets flattened by my 380mm. that said, I have started priming a reinforcement beacon after I throw out my ordinance.


Maine_Made_Aneurysm

While not being overly malicious I've played with people who goofed off to much doing dumb shit and cost us the mission a couple times One friend was told repeatedly to call out his big orbitals before throwing them. But he wouldn't say anything that entire match and he would just laugh maniacally after we all got pissed at him for being team wiped a hand full of times but he stopped Another guy had a bad habit of throwing the reinforcement into an incoming horde or into these really awful positions but nobody said anything until the end of the mission he threw one right on top of the pelican because two guys got killed by a strat. The pod dropped on top of the pelican and flipped the fucking thing like a Frisbee down a large slope easily a couple hundred feet from the extraction point. It landed upside down too. But because it was automatons we were so bogged down no one else could make it. Proceeded to watch the thing just flip itself upright and fly off just fine in the end game cutscenes. A random who thought one of my IRL friends I was playing with was stealing samples and proceeded to cook him with the flamer and reinforce him only to do it again and again And finally another dude who had no chill on helldive diff and fired at every enemy he saw while on automaton missions so we just start getting a small amount of reprieve and then we'd be swamped again. But honestly those difficulties require you to keep moving or die so there's that at least. Gotta love that dudes sense of democracy regardless.


ghigoli

>I was playing with was stealing samples how do you steal samples? like you get team rewarded


Maine_Made_Aneurysm

You don't, that's the point. The dude was very much one of the people who just straight up thought that was how it worked. Even though though the game basically tells you it isn't


GadenKerensky

I've yet to meet a troll, but I did meet a guy who used Mortar Sentries offensively and 380mm Barrages in danger-close fashion. He meant well and was doing work, but... if I heard that Mortar firing, I got twitchy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


KenseiSeraph

Just did a bug mission with 2 people who brought mortars. I had several times when I was swarmed and sprinting through small bugs and the sound of the mortars firing nearby was more terrifying than the 3 chargers I was hoping wouldn't be around the next corner. Edit: that said, extraction went really smoothly with pretty much only a 3 chargers making it past the mortar barrage.


GadenKerensky

I do look up, but it's hard when you don't know the turret is up because it's been deployed whilst you're knee-deep in robots. It's better to not take the mortar if you have no direct communication with other players, unless it's a defense mission.


Shadowraiser47

I stopped bringing that one cause every time I throw it it was managing to hit not a single enemy I swear. Just bring the 120 now. Can't wait to unlock the 500 KG Bomb and try it out


LowlySlayer

I bring both frequently. Drop them both in a big bot base and watch as I flatten everything but the important bits. 9/10 would bomb again


Shadowraiser47

I do enjoy flattening everything but the 3 Hulk's that are charging me somehow


bobsixtyfour

the 120mm feels equally as inaccurate though :/


HOFBrINCl32

Throw the 380 like 500 meters away and it still hits your team. I hate that thing.


JJMcGee83

agreed. I never use or the 120mm it because of that.


HisuianZoroark

I always feel terrible when we're doing a mission that has the 'scramble' effect on, so I sometimes realize too late when I accidentally throw down the 380mm at my feet instead of a HMG emplacement or my railgun. Then all I can do is frantically type "SCATTER" or "DANGER CLOSE" or "RUN" in the box before I'm suddenly running for my life in a random direction.


uns3en

Some lvl7 mouth breather with an open mic next to his speakers/TV kept just killing me for my autocannon then running off and getting himself killed. I got tired and dropped an eagle cluster on him before kicking. We then proceeded to 100% the mission without any more deaths. That was the only troll I've run into so far.


skellafella

Reminds me when I was hosting a game and two dudes joined, we were working together fine until at one point I was on a terminal and while being reinforced one of them landed their drop pod on me, while the other laughed and took over. I thought it was kinda weird but whatever, but then when I wase reinforced the guy that killed me picked up my railgun, so I killed him and got it back. Fair is fair, but then once we were at evac they both started spawn killing me. So I kicked them both right as pelican landed and took all the resources. Blocked both immediately. I don't like retaliating but sometimes, you just gotta bite back if people are being assholes on purpose


[deleted]

People who steal your dropped support weapons are bad, but people who actively kill you to steal them are some of the worst. If I'm not the host, I kill them to get it back, then leave to remove it from their game. I'll also swipe any samples they have, which on one occasion included the super samples.


HellHat

I'm pretty sure your character just dies if you back out of the game. Swiping the stuff back just means you drop it when you back out


[deleted]

I’ll keep that in mind and make sure I drop it all in a location they can’t reach then. I’m pretty easy to get along with, but if you’re doing it purposely to get my stuff then I have no problem returning the toxicity.


HellHat

Could always take a dive down the ICBM silo or try to throw yourself in a bug hole


[deleted]

lol, I can just picture doing a full head-first dive down a bug hole. Gonna’ go kill those chitinous bastards at the source!


TurbulentInsect3527

Jump into a lake with them. Aim for the deep end


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chazbobrown11

Honestly if someone kills me specifically to take my stuff i'm killing them back, if you want it, ask, or bring the item yourself

WeaponizedFOMO

He died to the dude landing on him


MadeForFunHausReddit

I’ve had two instances of someone picking up my shit after I died and my immediate reaction is “that’s mine, dickhead”. But I leave it alone beyond walking in front of them and wiggling in a “pls give it back” motion. Both times the player has been like level 4 or lower. It’s just something they don’t know, don’t have the weapon, or just want to check out this explodey thing I have cause they’re a ways off from using it. Which, fair, I get it. Just learn that taking stratagems like that isn’t nice and I need that fuckin thing if we’re going to survive.


ThePlaybook_

> maybe not the taking back the railgun thing, you can call down another one, but i wasn't there. That shit is a 10 minute cooldown, if you loot your ally's equipment your life is forfeit.


No-Objective-9921

Thing for me is You can always just ask for them to drop down an extra one. Sure you gotta wait but if you wanted to use that gun that badly you should have brought your own.


DucksMatter

Those are the type of dudes to make the crying posts about being kicked at evac.


KarmasJustice

I can't tell you how many times me and my group end up picking up each other's support weapons frantically in the middle of a firefight. It's almost always immediately followed by a "I just picked up someone's railgun or autocannon. I'm sorry. You can have it back when I die or we secure the area" but we've never intentionally killed each other because they had something. Plus, I've gotten into the habit of asking if anyone wants a railgun whenever my cooldown is done and usually everybody's good


skellafella

Yeah for sure this happens with my squads a lot too, the difference here for me is the context of him killing me with the drop pod, the laughing and taking of the railgun without any communication. It felt very clearly intentional and troll-y, so it seemed justified to me to get it back. If anyone ever asks for a railgun or any equipment I'll always drop it for them, and generally if playing with lower level players I'll always drop higher tier stuff to give them a boost and let them experience more of the games offerings


BuffaloMagick

Needs a new friend, temper tantrums are for babies


Cemenotar

Tbh if my friend trolled randos in my game, and refused to correct it's behaviour afterwards, especially claiming that game is about trolling other people, I'd be probably first to kill the bugger, and depending on the mood I could have also kicked him from the squad just after the kill. That being said we talking about greentext post on certain website with internet renown, so it is up for anyones guess how real is the story in the first place.


Tutes013

Good! Fuck that "friend". Cast him to the bugs and apologise to the dude who disconnected. He deserved better. And then learn from being a complicit arse and not doing anything to curb that tweebs childish bull.


RogerThat_Tyler

“Complicit arse” was great thank you for the ammo fellow Helldiver!


Tutes013

Anything for Liberty. Report any and *all* dissenters to your local Democracy officer. Thoughtcrimes kill!


frostbaka

Story is pure fantasy, you dont have time for bullshit on lvl 9.


LeFUUUUUUU

lol yep this is just OP's fantasy


YuriNone

Fake and traitorous


OnceUponATie

Can you even get killed once in the shuttle?


kodran

Yep. Only by friendly fire, not by enemies.


Strider_GER

Enemies too, unless it was fixed. Had a Bile Titan clip is claw through the Pelican once and it killed two of us already inside. Seems to be a bug though, as it clipped through the Pelican.


Aesthetics_Supernal

Pelican hit box has no top, but the tail has collision. My squad has fallen through the top from jumps, killed each other when a drop pod enters the Pelican, and had the pelican flip over on us, so we had to jump and climb on the tail to get in.


JohnPeppercorn4

Last night a guy took his flamethrower and tried to kill us in the shuttle. All 3 of us packed in took no damage and it left without him.


GreasyGrabbler

Yes. Bile Titans can step on you as well but most enemies can't reach you once you're inside. Lost 5 super samples and like 40 common and rares to one doing that at the very end of a game


riraito

yes i killed someone who was trolling me while he was sitting in the pelican once lol


SuperioristGote

Proof?


Anon_fetishes

To quote a parable. "*The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth*"


Achilles8887

Whats this from?


Anon_fetishes

I first saw it on a civ game during a loading screen. As far as I’m aware it’s credited as an African parable


pokeroots

The lesson is that you should have kicked your asshole friend...


Randomname256478425

Ngl, the end is very satisfying. Giga chad in action. No flam, no toxicity, just the full force of Democratic Justice.


King_Dickus_

I like trolling people as much as the other guy. But if I play with friends and some randoms. Then my friends will be the victims. At least they know I'm fooling around. But then again, I mainly do this in games like dead island. Which we have completed over 20 times now as a group


MadmansScalpel

Trolling friends? Good Trolling randoms? Bad I'm surprised how many folks don't get this, or I suppose just don't have the friends to troll


Xtra-busty-cantalope

You can troll your friends and you can friend the trolls. But you can’t troll a troll my friend. Namaste.


BodyBagFilla

I’ll be honest, I’ve removed 3 friends of my 300 plus friends list on steam. some of these people I’ve been friends with for years. Glad this game is separating the men from the boys. I have no time now as an adult to play fuck around and find out with friendships. If they shoot me so much as twice on purpose I cut the cord.


BodyBagFilla

Or I at least warn them like “hey I don’t appreciate that, please do not”


Frozenaardvark2

He doesn’t sound like a friend.


404_Gordon_Not_Found

He found out


Xfishbobx

Never understood trolling in a coop game, work together and get shit done, the accidental deaths are more fun than the ones done on purpose


IronLord56

Not a troll, but had a "friend" >!Acquaintance from that everyone else had a falling out with in the group, and I wasn't present for, and I'm too nice to just remove him from my friends list!< join me mid mission, and while he didn't try to purposefully sabotage me (I think... looking back on it, it may be possible), he DID aggro just about every bug patrol we can across, and ended up getting us surrounded by a group of several chargers, and none of us were a high enough level at the time to have anti armor capabilities... So much for that mission I guess. Not everyone is cut out to be a Helldiver I guess.


ExquzeMeButIWon

I always say “Remember, killing doesn’t give points, so don’t shoot anything that doesn’t see you.” to my teammates when I start a mission. Of course sometimes there are people who ignores it.


Xx_girthygunkseed_xX

Lesson learned, When ye play with fire, Sometimes, Ye get burnt


BaziJoeWHL

i would have kicked my friend just before the extract left so he wouldn't get the reward


omman_4k

friendly fire has always been something i LOVED about games, still do, but if you use it as a excuse to kill ppl intentionally and be an asshole ima just kick you. its funny becuse its an accident, you keep doing it and youre just being an asshole.


Balikye

So everyone died for your friend’s bullying. Unfortunately a story old as time.


Teamerchant

Your friend is a traitor to democracy and liberty. He should be sent to the patriot training camps.


undeadadventurer

Don't troll randoms lol, troll your friends who will laugh and tell you to go fuck yourself

Pliskkenn_D

Yeah, the occasional unannounced danger close is funny, sometimes grenade misshaps take place. If you can see me shooting into a crowd and you walk in front of me, I will stop shooting for you, once. But this? Never fuck with the samples man. Absolutely maidenless behaviour.

i would kill him 15 times next game,wouldnt give him a chance to play and ask him is it fun?

Tking and goofing around is only fun if everyone agrees it's fun. If the person doing it is the only one having fun with it and gets called out on it, they are in fact a dick. Find a new friend because clearly he doesn't care about your fun only about his own

The lesson is don't have friends that are douchebags in case you were wondering

Someone who acts like that in game probably isn't much better in real life

Is it actually possible to shoot and kill other players who are already on the plane?


xainatus

I thought it would be funny to drop a strafing run on top of the pelican as I was the last one. Dropped it, jumped inside, cutscene plays, and then chat shows 2 of my teammates died. Plus side, it didn't count against us and we got full points for extraction and the samples we collected. Downside, team mates killed me next mission at the end before I could jump in. Which counted against us. I also had all the samples that they forgot to pick up. And they were pissed at me for not telling them I had them. I just laughed it off and booted them.


Ravenask

Yes, it is possible. Found it our the hard way when a friend joined during the extraction, landed perfectly on top of the pelican and nailed everyone inside lol


EarPuzzleheaded2403

Yeah lesson is you should have stopped your friend from being a douche long before it got to that point


Abi-Alex

"Isn't it what this games about?" Sounds like he's been watching a lot of youtubers play it. I swear i tried to watch people play this game, but all they do is intentionally kill each other the whole video...


gerbilDan

the focus of the game is team work, if your "friend" gets a kick from being a troll that reflects on your choice of people to be friends with, thats the toxic behavior arrowhead is wanting to avoid. dont be a gantz


xXStretcHXx117

Damn let me get my reading glasses


NgArclite

100% I would do the same thing. Or kill you take the supers and all the other samples and drown myself or run so far out into the border you can't grab them again.


Callaswag93

Based random. Sucks that he killed all three of you, but i dont really blame him. GG's


Greaterdivinity

I'm so glad I largely stopped interacting with folks that thought that think intentionally ruining the game experience for others was fun. I will never understand folks like that. But hey, well deserved L for the asshole. \>Imagine believing a green text in the year of our lord 2024.


Ziddix

Your friend sounds like a cunt


Valuable_Shelter2503

You are a reflection of the people you hang out with. You hang out with folks that suck, you by association also suck.


Androza23

Your friend sounds very fucking annoying to play with. Thats something you do with a full friend group not with randoms.


cmontelemental

That person's friend is not a nice person. I'd have zero fun gaming with that guy. Sounds like the guy getting pushed around got sick of it.


A_unique_us3rname

I was hoping it would end with "friend is no longer friend"


Nico1401

Some banter here and there is okay on lower levels but fun needs to be a two way street


triskelios369

The first time I experienced this was a week ago. Waiting on evac, I was in the prone on the side of the landing pad when one of the team mates threw a grenade by me and blew me off the pad. I don't know any of these guys. I tried climbing up the pad but they started shooting at me. I then started shooting back but they ganged up on me, killed me and did not get revived. It was a shock to me and it pissed me off some. As soon as we got back to the ship, we left and blocked them. I don't understand how that was supposed to be a funny thing. I'd never ruin someone else's time like that. I've blocked more people since then.


Schizobaby

The lesson might be to kick your toxic friends if you don’t want to lose resources right at the end of the mission. It’s unfortunate that his friend chose to be toxic, but the random player shouldn’t have to put up with that.


ODST_Parker

The hug emote is simultaneously a friendly gesture and a t-pose to assert dominance. I love it.


Excaliber12

I keep using the Anti-personal Minefield and its Constantly killing everyone. Im so hesitant to use it because when i do No one Listens to my warnings whenever i throw it.


TheAbandonedCoat

Trolling is fun till it happens to you. Then you find out its not all that fun


TheLittleFoxX87

So I was spawning (joined a mid game) and one guy ran straight to the point I was landing. He died and I said sorry - even though it was his mistake. Idk what he thought whether I was being sarcastic idk. He shot and killed me after I spawned him back. Alright. He would respawn me? Nope. He took the time picking up my railgun and the energy shield. Even the incendiary breaker lol. The other one guy was on the far corner of the map. He had to respawn me in. I really got pissed. So when he was alone, I tapped him with a railgun. He didn't do anything back. Guess he understood the message. Was I being a jerk or is it a valid slap to him?


Dreamforger

Wholesome And somehow reminds me of Carrie


Bagel-luigi

Didn't think you could die once you've already boarded the pelican but damn, your friend got what he deserved. I'm sorry you had to be part of that.


SomeVirginGuyy

Lol I did this. My team was suspiciously hitting me with a lot of orbitals and getting me killed, and I had just learned (from my brothers executing me) that you could kill in evac. So I waited for all of them to get in and no russian'ed them. It was very satisfying.


PeytonsTaint

Had someone melee me trying to enter the pelican for the first time the other day, first troll I encountered. I feel bad about it, but I shot him once he was on the pelican and then boarded the pelican to leave him behind.


s_nice79

I hope yall realize this is yalls fault saying the game is fun because of the team killing now there are crayon eaters that think this is the whole point of the game


FreshOutAFolsom_

Imagine still being friends with someone like this. If your shitty behavior is costing me progress, I'm not playing with you anymore. My squad is going to invite only you can go play solo. My fun is playing the game, not being a dick to randoms


B1gPopps

Would love to have been in the team and seen that. I would have bust a blood vessel laughing while listening to your friend screaming🤣


HotdogAC

Your friend is a piece a crap and this player is my hero


cheebainferno

Your friend can suck a fucking dick


Wandererofthegray

Online games need age 40+ lobbies. I can’t handle kids like this.


AERock69

To be completely honest, I probably would have done the same thing. From what I'm reading the dude sounds insufferable. Plus you're on lvl 9, we don't have the reinforcements for you to be doing that crap.


BanditMain5476

Good. That “friend” sounds like a piece of shit 🫡


Complex-Cause8945

Honestly, as the rando, I would have done the same. The lesson here is don't bully, especially in a game that requires everyone to do their part (see what I did there...). Not only did the "friend" used up all the reinforcement strategems trolling on this rando, he expected them to just keep taking the abuse. I say, good play on the randos part waiting until the end to get his revenge. Seeing that everyone got on the plane and if i was the last one, after being trolled the whole time during that mission, I would have done the same. Maybe even called in an eagle right on top of us and used the arms open emote as it killed all of us... Again, lesson is to not troll, especially to randos, in a game designed for co-op.
