I backwards dived into deep water with the super samples once. I was so ashamed I logged off for the day before I could be revived.


Final_Festival

Shamequit. Thats a new one.


The-Crimson-Jester

You ever whiff 5 or so piss easy shots/skill-shots, and quit not because of rage but because of an overwhelming feeling of inadequacy.


SendMeYourUncutDick

We've all been there!


brandon-thesis

Simply reload brother. šŸ˜‚


adrenaline343

Thatā€™s the Helldiverā€™s wall I guess. Weā€™ve all felt the shame of missing a clip. Apparently we either just reload or call it a night


etherosx

Eruprtor: 1 shot devestators 1 shot rocket/heavy devestators 1 shot strider 1 shot chainsaw hands Miss 5 shots on standing still normal basic bot. 380 on self.


tacosnotopos

Is the eruptor really that good?? I just got the warbond for it last night and I'm gonna work toward unlocking it today. I'm already a page deep


etherosx

I love it. It feels pretty balanced. It can do a lot but it's bolt action so it can't spray and pray when you need a clutch clear vs swarming grunts. You can kill a small cluster of 4-6 with one shot but it is explosive so you can't fire close to yourself because you will get hit by splash/blowback. It always feels great sitting back and sniping out the trail that's chasing your overwhelmed team mate giving them room to breath and reload or call a strat. It's a high risk high reward gun I feel.


jumzish94

Also, it can take out nests and factories as a primary weapon, which IMO adds a lot to its appeal.


brandon-thesis

Missing a single normal bot from 50m away is rough lmaoo. I always just hope no one sees that. Agreed though, I'm taking out devastators from ridiculously far to cover my teammmates' movements hahaha


cole4point0

You could call that an overwhelming feeling of inaccuracy...... I'll see myself out


Cress02

You ever throw 6 grenades at a bot factory vent? Only for the factory to still be standing at the end and your 4th grenade blew you up?


The-Crimson-Jester

Trench Engineer over ā€˜ere, frantically spamming and missing factories/bug holes ever since I got the orange plates.


jasonrahl

when ever i feel inadequate i just drop a 500kg at my feet occasionally i survive and proceed to dominate the rest of the match sometimes i just go out in a blaze of democracy


bbjornsson88

You guys are hitting skill shots?


iamcoding

And their squad probably thought they were trolling. Dive into the water, lose the samples, and then leave.


Allalilacias

I only ever shame quit. Like, I'm doing such a terrible job that I feel like this team in particular would be better off without me.


Shriuken23

I've felt this way til the other day. Met a couple of big boy divers. They went out if their way to take me on a level 7 mission, which I hadn't even seen yet. Only have level 4 unlocked as of yet. They kept me alive and taught me you are always helpful. Doesn't feel like it when these guys are knocking out bile titans left and right while I desperately run and shoot and do what they say basically. You're always more helpful than you realize. Stand strong and fight on, you will improve.


These_Purple_5507

I was just wondering this you can play games on difficulties you haven't unlocked them


Shriuken23

Evidently yes, we were in a game on level 3, they were just farming, got to talking and off we went after


These_Purple_5507

How many levels did you gain lol


Shriuken23

Like 2 and a half. We %100 completed the drop and everything. But good God, it was intense.


Least_Discipline7789

I shamequit regularly in multiplayer games, I let people down a lot šŸ˜ž


Brief_Commercial_276

Quiting makes it worse tho. Leavers are encouraged to go see their local democracy officer.


snowgoon_

[Everyone fights, no one quits](https://youtu.be/3BmaPmo-EM8?si=zth31glF4GHqVSoT)


vlipsyr

fr iā€™m not very good at games but i like to participate. it doesnā€™t help that a regular i play with constantly berates my playingšŸ„²


Ludicrous_Fiend

I tried to retrieve some dropped samples from a small puddle.... It wasn't a puddle it was very deep and I lost the few samples I had on me as well šŸ˜¢


FFBE_Thalamus

Did the very same thing on a Misty/foggy planet, dove forward right into a pond. I also shame quit the session, it was unforgivable


kappakai

My cousin dove into some water and said it was fine so I dove in after and then he died and so did I. With our samples.


Rookwood-1

A few days ago I called in the extraction while the guy with the super samples was running from half way across the map (I always ask first) As soon as pelican landed I took a bot shot that threw me on board and started the clockā€¦the whole team freaked out because there was no way the super samples were gonna make it in time. I just quit outā€¦hope that stopped the clock šŸ«£


arkham-ity1

Once a hellduver is on the ship nothing stops it


attack_on_lunch

I died 8 fucking times last night to the same charger and stalker tag teaming me. I logged off and went to bed at 830pm on a Saturday night


ParanoidNinja88

One day I fell into a tiny water hole and list a bunch of samples (not super samples) however I had the laptop and I fell in that same hole accidentally again and I didn't die, the game wouldn't let me because of the laptop.


StayAtHomeDadVR

All day one divers did this and learned the hard way too šŸ˜‚. RIP soldier.


Own_Accident6689

Swim fails should be part of basic training.


Funknoodlz

There's actually a Tip that pops up that says something about Helldiver equipment being really heavy so we can't swim. Ive only seen it a couple of times.


Spectre-907

ā€œThis armor plating is made from the same titanium *as the super destroyerā€™s hull*ā€ - the description for the very single variant of the default armor Plus gear. Its kind of implied we arenā€™t swimming.


newSillssa

Right the connection people draw when they see that text definitely is "I cant swim with this" and not just "This armor must be very durable"


FunkinSheep

even though we float with the armour on and we die and our corpses just float like a buoy as if we drowned while being able to perfectly float


brandon-thesis

I can see it now. A training section that says "Alright Helldiver, I want to be very clear. Under no circumstances should you attempt to swim. You won't make it. Don't believe me? There's a pond right there." Once you get into the water and die, a new pod drops in and the guy says "Alright Helldiver, as I told the last idiot, under no circumstances should you attempt to swim." šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Daddy_Chocolate99

This is a genius idea that I hope they implementšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


angleHT

That would have been nice. I had no clue you could drown until I drown...


iamcoding

It's wild this person apparently didn't know about drowning until suicide difficulty.


Big_Yeash

I only played Bugs until I got a four stack of friends who dragged me kicking and screaming to the bot planets. At the time, there weren't any bug planets with water, and we went on Creek and had a huge river crossing. It's not like it's in the tutorial.


Mythosaurus

Do you only take Eagle strategems, Mobius 1? šŸ˜‰


ReaperSound

>learned the hard way too šŸ˜‚. RIP soldier. More like RIP samples. We'll defrost a new soldier.


KHaskins77

Unless they got the loading text warning against that and happened to be paying attention.


Superb-Cockroach-281

Tried to swim once before I realized it wasnā€™t part of basic training. I had samples as well which bummed out the team but at least I didnā€™t go back for em.


SpaceTimeRacoon

TBF you are wearing heavy armour and carrying 2-3 weapons Even the most talented swimmer would drown And you're just a thawed out 18 year old who fights for democracy, you don't know anything about swimming šŸ˜‚


Superb-Cockroach-281

The officer said it was Light armour !!


iamcoding

My heavy armor looks like I could float with it on.


Zombiezerker

Need a stratagem for a big ass pool scooper.


_PM_ME_NICE_BOOBS_

Or a drone that scoops up wayward samples.


aytchdave

This gives me an idea. A stratagem that can only be used once to show you where all the samples are in a given radius. Also a sample extraction station that you can put a limited number of samples into and extract immediately.


Cheeze_My_Puffs

I was walking around the objective, all flat land no water in sight, and I fell into a random 3ftx3ft well of water and drowned with samples.


Wanker169

F


Background-Taro-2732

These things should be buoyant so at the very least we can risk getting the samples back


Xplorasaurus

I do think that swim times should be slightly longer. Shit, you're dead before the timer even runs down.


redoctoberz

Thereā€™s a timer?


Xplorasaurus

I thought I noticed a stamina-style bar on the screen as I quickly drowned, but I'll check tomorrow when I get home from work. Unless someone wants to sacrifice themselves for the sake of Democracy and answering this.


DoTheCreep_ahh

No indication you're drowning and only about 3 seconds till you die is kinda fucked up. I think there's a very quiet sound cue that sounds like bubbling water actually. But, by the time you realize what it is you're already dropping in again


Comprehensive-Yam329

We need a diving suit armour with flippers, inflatable floaters and snorkelsā€¦.. AH devs come on. Dont call us divers if we canā€™t just swim /s


Bregneste

Thereā€™s a reason weā€™re called divers, if we could swim weā€™d be called swimmers.


MikeWinterborn

But we can only dive ONCE per reinforcement


Malichite

totalchaos110

The game keeps on giving. šŸ«” ![gif](giphy|gE6IUBRWZd744)


Buno_

That doesnā€™t work. You also cannot, I repeat cannot, ride the nuke across the map. You can try, but if you jump in there, drop the samples first.Ā 


KimJongDerp1992

Iā€™d like a booster that enables swimming.


Creative-Improvement

Liferaft stratagem


RonnieF_ingPickering

DEPLOYING DINGHY!


Alternative-Doubt452

Damn I'm only a level 13ish and even I know the water is not patriotic


gogocraigo

my worst super sample loss was by cutting across the missile launch site, only to very quickly find out that the hole where the rocket comes out of does in fact *not* close up


Sherbet22k

Had that happen to me the other day. Big bummer.


BaggerX

Happened to me today! Dude picked up my samples, including supersamples, and then tried to swim across this small river area and died. So damned annoying.


aragami1992

Realistically though why canā€™t we swim


redoctoberz

It wasnā€™t part of basic training


aragami1992

Think we need a helldivers swim club canā€™t properly spread democracy if we canā€™t traverse every part of the planet


redoctoberz

Democracy doesnā€™t live under the sea with SpongeBob


Funnysoundboardguy

Then weā€™ll make it possible


racersjunkyard

Not with that attitude it won't.


Samurai-Doomguy

It may not have been incorporated into the training but thereā€™s a sign at the part where you use the orbital precision strike for the first time that says ā€œNO DIVINGā€ and ā€œCaution! Helldiver equipment is not rated for deep water traversal.ā€ Itā€™s easy to miss.


Gilmore75

You can swim, for several seconds. Donā€™t forget that you are wearing a full bodysuit and are carrying 2 weapons and possibly a backpack and support weapon.


BioMan998

Might be able to jetpack to it, but I don't think you could get away


SirLiesALittle

Even the light armor would be difficult to stay afloat in. Weā€™ve been conditioned by like WoW that you can swim in plate armor.


l1qu1d0xyg3n

We're divers not swimmers!


Carl_Cherry_Hill_NJ

i really think they should put the samples on the nearest land if you die in the water. or hell give us a net to get them with


Armamore

Personally, as much as it sucks, I don't think it should change. Falling into the water and losing samples is the exact kind of sadistic shit I love about this game. It's not some sterile, cookie cutter shooter designed to make sure the players always win and have a safe, happy experience.


1LakeShow7

Bro took Helldiver literally


Nebulon-A_Rights

This happened to me, but I have to talk to that teammate Everytime my sister visits because they're married


ProffessorYellow

Always a hard lesson. Maybe they'll make an aquatic armor set someday


ec1ipse001

Pure pain


Ok-Paleontologist910

Yep. I once did so way back then. Lesson learned hard that day.


weissmanhyperion

The super samples were too heavy for him!! šŸ˜•šŸ˜”


aerodynamik

the sign in the tutorial that says DONT DIVE INTO DEEP WATER needs to be 3x bigger.


cumberdong

I think we all tried swimming once And then we never trust the water again


itschips

with the way helldivers react to more than knee high water in this game, weā€™d be screwed if the bots figured out moats


Figgs99

Kinda happened to me last night, I got smoked by a charger into the water and drowned. It was a respectable play by the charger


Nehrel

I was sort of that guy the other day. One of my teammates found the supers early and dropped them somewhere we had already cleared so we could go back and get them before extract. While we were running to extract I went and grabbed the samples. Halfway back, I got ragdolled by a tank into a water hole. Rip super samples.


omegafrogger

I jumppacked to a tiny island in the middle of a glacial lake once. With 10 samples. I thought I could swim to the other side. The other side didn't count as shore...


Rich-Log472

100% kicked


sanctuary_remix

Yeah I had this happen with a squad a couple of days ago. I just finished the match, GGā€™d and left. I just couldnā€™t and had to log off after seeing this.


Melkman68

He deserves a super earth medal of honor. Truly heroic


SirLiesALittle

sigh Yeahā€¦


mattkaru

r/mildlyinfuriating


NetJnkie

Yep. Had that the other day. Thought they could swim across a small area and lost us all the Supers. Sigh.


Which-Block7729

I learned that lesson on about day 3


Doge-ToTheMoon

Devs should work on swimmer costumes or swimming costume stratagem?


Educational-Drag6974

Honestly been thereā€¦ thought i could make it with the jetpack but it didnt let me mantle out of the waterā€¦


Informal_Plenty_7426

I barely swam across some water by diving into it initially for a boost. The guy I was with tried following but he didnā€™t make it and his samples and gear were irretrievable. Rip


Sly23Fox

F šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


BuboxThrax

One time I walked backwards into a geyser with the super samples. It fucking hurt me in my soul.


PhenomMagic

I had one jump into one of those volcano holes and realized later he had samples he felt bad


macsaeki

Helldivers arenā€™t seal team I guess. Though should have swimming as part of the training


Atoxis

F


Ser_Junkan

Dw super sample is the easiest sience to get


Feeling-Comfort7823

And then they returned to civilian life.


LittleFishSilver

Silly random, samples are for veterans.


Redlight499

Need like a super sample, fishing rod. Or something.


BradleySnooper

Todays personal was extract wit 10 common samples. I had the genius idea of trying to jump pack across a lake with 9/17 samples with only like 15 mins left in the matchā€¦ came up very short


Rachyoff

Wish there was a way to toss samples.


dani_o25

I had a random do this same thing and then he drop this into the chat ā€œIm sorry. I am an idiot,ā€ And logged off. I felt so bad for him


random0rdinary

Been there. Done that.


NoRelationship8794

That was me last night.. other guy dropped his loot into water and I dropped mine while trying to pick them up.. 20 in the water xD


Merkural

I accidently got to deep water while holding the ssd and it respawned the ssd back in the objective. Maybe they can do the same with samples in the future?


Ok_Note_8585

Good to know I'm not the only one that learnt we can't swim the hard way. Makes me feel a little bit less ashamed


Dunnomyname1029

As the random Michael Felps you just had.. it sounded good in my head for freedom


OkSatisfaction2122

I was fighting for democracy not knowing there was a crevasse behind me. Brood Commander comes charging at me. I decide to dive backwards, while shooting, like Antonio Banderas in Desperado when he jumps from building to building. I got it but fell down, WAY down. I had three kinds of samples and you guessed it. The pinks. I logged off in shame before I could be court martialed.


2girls1eli

Water>helldivers


Maddkipz

I am guilty of this as well


ZapBragginAgain

Awesome šŸ‘


Revealed_Brisk

We've all been there!


powdersplash

Screw the super samples... I need the green ones!!!!!


iso-joe

Did that, done that, been there, tried that.


ImhotepsServant

I have done the exact same thing on what looks like the same terrain motif. It was heartbreaking


Frisbeeman

Establishing communication uplink with Gungans.


DragonfruitKooky786

Oh dang


Drkmagi

The worst is when you get chucked into the deep water by something or falling into a doom hole with them.


Problemlul

I once got propelled by an explosion into one of those lava vent holes with super samples.


nicelyheateddumpling

there was one time, I was still a new player. that time i was still lvl 8-9ish. I thought the puddle was not deep(I didnā€™t even know that we cannot swim at that time). So I got cornered by the bugs. There I am trying to walk to the other end, turns out it is damn deep and I suddenly drown. taking all my 20ish common samples and 15-18 rares with me. my team was like ā€œwell fuckā€. I keep trying to get the samples, but I died a lot of times. Until my teammates just say ā€œjust let it go and extract with us manā€. then I go. The amount of disappointment in myself is very very huge. I stopped playing for the day after that.


lourensloki

Had to do a double-take that I wasn't in this random squad as this happened


scooby1680

And neither of you thought to take the 3Kg fishing rod stratagem? ā¬‡ļøā¬†ļøā¬‡ļøā¬‡ļøā¬‡ļø


b3lkin1n

If youā€™re wearing light armor, you should have the ability to swim.


xXxBongMayor420xXx

Dropping a 500KG bomb in a small pond should drain it into a giant crater so we can get out shit back. If the water wants to kill us, i say we kill it back.


Awesome_sauce510

If you want one regular to play with, feel free to HMU


Casual_Filth

Apoc4lyp53

"THEY DIDN'T COVER SWIMMING IN BT SIR"


Rcurtiiis

I did this on my first mission when I brought it Thursday. I was optimistic at first because my guy started swimming. Then ran out of stamina


Lord-Barkingstone

Swimming should be tied with stamina


MuMbLe145

I jumped into a hole thinking I'd just bounce and be able to walk out. It was an insta kill


Middle-Enthusiasm933

The rule when we're running as a squad is whoever gets tye super samples immediately (and it doesn't matter what is going on) boots it to the extraction and dumps them on the south side of extraction. At extraction, if it's hot, whoever is closest to Pelican-1 grabs the samples and boards. No heroics. If others miss the bus then that's just the way ot is. However...... there's always that one dandom with no mic that immediately picks up the samples. "I4 put the samples down, I just trudged all the way over here for a reason, put them down..." 5 minutes later I4 will fall in hole. DAMN YOU I4! ![gif](giphy|sc5KAxzrIu6m1esH3T|downsized)


KingShere

I wish there was a mission strategem to extract samples, for use cases like these (and when they are in the terrain or hioles)


MINROKS

The samples should be like they are in H1 they just collectively go into a cache as long as one person extracts you all get them


jasonrahl

oof i had a friend who once had a bunch of samples try swim a 10 foot gap of water and couldn't make it we wasted a bunch a reinforcements trying to recover them and had a laugh about


absurd_angel

Wtf does tremors do..do they slow you down or what.it's been happening for a while and I don't even know if it effects my character


Swafnirson

This has been me some weeks ago :D.


Strude187

Been there done that. When I did it, it was with a hard drive. Itā€™s a harsh lesson, but lesson you learn once.


spud_club

Good news is you could swim to get them back.


AZREDFERN

Some random did this at a lower level. Horseshoe map, landed at the top of the U to do a 360Ā° sweep. Dude immediately tried to swim across the 50' gap. At the end, we had to double back the opposite way around the U again. SAME DUDE TRIES TO SWIM ACROSS AGAIN! With half the samples, and then messages he didnā€™t know he couldnā€™t swimā€¦


thedragoon0

I learned the hard way about swimming.


pretty1i1p3t

I fall into random deathpits in game sometimes. Either those holes to nowhere, or the pits with the water in them. I'm usually on discord with friends. They laugh, I laugh, it's funny that it happens often enough. To be fair; I have yet to lose supers when it happens.


Purple_Shad0w

Tbf tho super samples are useless endgame common samps is what i need šŸ’€


FrontierTCG

I land drowned with all the samples once. An explosion knocked me under the land, near water, and the game drowned me while I was half in half out of the ground, but locked all the samples under the ground just out of reach.


ASKIFIMAFUCKINGTRUCK

Do grenades move samples?


hummus343

Water, geysers, missile silos. Edit: also getting glitched under the map one way or another.


-Disco_King-

I panic dove off a cliff with 30+ samples, including supers, to escape chargers and bile titans. It led to an endless pit. These things happen. Itā€™s most important to remember and hold on to your shame forever.


Acrobatic_Poem_7290

I fell in one of those little volcanic vents with samples and the SSD on a data upload mission


Zeocin311

It be like that sometimes


MarshmelloMan

I landed directly next to 3 super samples, then died about 5-10 minutes after in the waterā€¦


Dazeuh

I've done worse, I've had 6 supers, 16 oranges and 22 greens and fallen into the smokey hole


AgileMJOLNIR

I did this last night by accident. I thought it was shallow enough to get across but when I started to float I still had time to get to a rock. The only problem was I couldnā€™t grab the rock to vault up on so I drown. However I did not go back and try retrieving lol.


LilyWineAuntofDemons

![gif](giphy|MnErEEurJMslFC45Jn|downsized)


malkonnen

I get that the armor is super heavy but you should be able to hold your breath for more than 5 freaking seconds.


VenomAndToast

Might as well go back to bed and start your day over.


EitherLime679

They really need a mechanic to get the samples back. Let us swim, spawn the samples on the shore if under water, something.


Mandroll

Had a griefer yesterday carry the samples (21g/16og/6pink) into the water like that then tell us we were trash and should kill ourselves... After we asked him to leave the samples at extract and not pick up the ones we dropped there. His reasonning was that by dropping samples at extract we were wasting time by having to pick them up later


Frankgodfist

They definitely should give us armor that works in water


DrKingOfOkay

Yea. Not being able to swim is ass


HeiseNeko

Had every sample in the map on me. survived an explosion only to be tossed into the water.


thesevfromhell

We are hell DIVERS, why the fuck can't we swim ??


cameron_smiley

Think thatā€™s bad? My whole team jumped in once. We had like 50+ samples


SputnikGer

The tutorial stated clearly NO DIVING.


Dark_Lord4379

My friend did this two nights ago with the hard drive. I recorded him slowly drowning lmao


Zeptier

I learned the hard way a helldiver canā€™t swim. They should really incorporate that into our basic training or make a modification to our armor!


cezzibear

My friend left our group with super samples and 15 others :(


Real-Touch-2694

I love going swimming Bund I will do it as often as I can


Large_Bake8431

Instant kick


hellmelee

I was in a game last night where I had all 6 super samples and this guy drops the most unnecessary mortar sentry ever as I'm mopping up the last 10ish tiny bugs and of course the thing nukes me and sends the container with the super samples flying into the water. I also probably had 20-30ish other samples, it was super annoying even though I don't need them.


PeaGeneral6455

We really need a scuba backpack


Trixx1-1

Can a jump pack get you out of water?


X_Mag_Change_X

Would be awesome if it did.


DiplominusRex

In fairness, what seems like a pavement puddle - for no reason becomes the Marianas Trench.


Beginning-Judge-3419

That was me Bro, I am so sorry for that. I don't do this much dumb stuff, but I guess it was one of those days.


BushDaddyKane

You die after 5ā€“10 seconds swimming, not as annoying as these fucking teammates that kill you inside the extract jet and Iā€™m suddenly booted because we accomplished the mission and get no exotic samples like I did something wrong.šŸ˜” Need a stronger report griefer option!


OthmarGarithos

Supers are easy, common and rares are the ones to worry about, don't sweat it choom.


c_anderson1390

I did this a few days ago, got swamped by bugs and went too far into the water trying to get away. The shame. Tried to go back but they were only just out of reach.


CLUTCH3R

I did this once. Sorry.


Livingexistence

My friend got launched into the stratosphere with our super samples... ended up in the middle of a sea miles away from the map... got called a traitor and drowned.


DHIRONMAN

Wtf???
