I have a friend who's like that because they came from fucking TITANFALL, he will go out of his damn way to sneak around and BLOW SHIT UP

I go solo, do all the sidequests amd find what samples I can, and kill everything in my line of sight.

Sounds badass

Thats a Sweaty Diver

@@alexchibel7057I never said they where any good, I said they try and play the game like metal gear.

Hahaha that’s amazing

This is why I have my mic muted unless I am talking to my squad, otherwise so much background noise of the kid and wife

@@wargalley5925same here lol.

That's literally me. Dogs barking, talking to wife, and calling in random strategsm.

Im also a daddiver 😂 i fell asleep during loadout last night after a long day at work for the fam the randoms teased me that whole session 🤣

Honey badger dont care

honey badgers are mean not even the big animals want to mess with them

Democracy protects?

Lmao that's me, and it's definitely not skill more like dumb luck 🫡

That's just a target-rich environment.

Also known as the "Planetside 2" Diver.

Ooof. That one hits close to home too. Not stopping though. 😀

@@kenturkey1971 please don’t stop. I always miss things and this type of divers have helped me a lot.

crud...you caught me. I don't even think about it, I just automatically tag stuff. I'm 96% percent certain that Battlefield 3 was actually some weird training software that subliminally compels people to exhibit this behaviour.

Lmao that’s me.

this is so me lmfao always bring 3 turrets no matter the mission and will always get tk'd by my own

I'm the second one 100% of the time

Yeah, that's me... i tend to carry turrets on some missions. (I call this type of player "Engineer Helldiver")

Sometimes I'll carry 3 turrets.

3 turrets and a guard dog. I like it when the game plays itself and I just watch.

That's me.

That's also me.

Yep

Same here! lol

Oh. That's me. Also, I'm maxed lvl. Used to grind the game when I first got it and then nowadays, when I have everything maxed out. I just log in everyday, do my personal req then join quickplay on Suicide or Impossible. I would go around collecting samples and closing bugholes. It's a chill gameplay.

This is so wholesome

That’s awesome that they shared their toys with you. Would be a different story if you just ran towards and grabbed the first thing that was called down near you. I’m sure it’s not the latter… coz otherwise you’d have know quickly.

Ahh that might be me that joined u on that mission

If I'm off cool down on stuff like my Guard Dog, I don't see why NOT to share my cool toys, this stuff is dope and everyone should get one!

this was me on hard mode at level 7, a day or two into the game. it was so wholesome

My buddy lent me his Patriot for a bug extermination, best couple minutes ever!

so wholesome! the helldivers community is the best!

Low level players are so cute and adorable. Like little puppies.

You do know there is a giant bar on their screen that shows their name right? Nobody is playing helldivers with a 2nd person there and doesn't know it...Between their name being on the screen and the "helldiver being deployed" sound

@@lutherheggs451it’s a joke mate

​@@lutherheggs451you're the person always pointing out why a sci fi movie is unrealistic aren't you? Lol

​@@lutherheggs451it ain't that deep bro

​@@lutherheggs451Are you still wondering why you werent invited to that party?

I feel called out

Yeah that's the sweaty diver he literally described

I also feel slightly called out...​@@RodentKing_

I do that but don't trust myself not to lose my samples, so I drop them at the extraction point.

I’m a Zoomy, though if practical I’ll drop off a hoard of samples on or near exfil prior to rejoining squad.

Sometimes I just follow someone mindlessly killing stuff so I don’t have to pay attention to what I’m doing/where I’m going and still complete what my team wants to do.

That’s a good one

I agree with this comment. Have a managed thumbs up!

Bought my wife the game for that very reason! lol

Ive definitely played with a couple before. They had their own private voice chat so it was a little difficult.

Discord boyfriends 💅

Roleplay? What do you mean? And what are you doing wasting your time here, GO BACK ON THE AUTOMATON FRONT SOLDIER!

SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE HATES FREEDOM. YOU GET BACK OUT THERE AND SHARE DEMOCRACY WITH EVERY SLUG YOU MEET, MAGGOT.

I'm proud to play my role for DEMOCRACY.

Get out there and spread managed democracy Helldiver! We’ll have no more of your false propaganda here.

Sounds like a bot sympathizer. You'll be reported to the ministry immediately.

Entire Automaton Fleet: Allow us to introduce ourselves

That aged like milk

Not even a day

YEAH! I played with a couple guys one game. One was named "Lisan al Gaib" (the messaih from Dune) and then one of the other random guys was running around the whole game yelling his name while suicide bombing all the bot outposts. It was friggin hilarious.

My mother called me and asked me to meet her. I can't refuse her

The game quit on me

*Connection error*

oh no... how did I lose power again? it's the seventh time this week!

I wouldn't qualify "Quitter" as a type of diver. There's circumstances with how buggy the game is and IRL kind of needs to happen before the game. But if you're purposefully dropping because you didn't get exactly what you wanted, you're not a diver; you're a quitter.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

That sounds like sabotage.

The host should have kicked him.

Lmao well done I came across a third flavour who’d play the game friendly now but no matter the samples that get shared he’ll kill you while you’re in the ship

Worth it.

Lol best combod with the i dont understand because i speak a different language so ill kick you diver.

Ah you've met him too I see

“I’ll put my cat on the mic”

Related, the "Open mic, Iron Lung" Diver, who breathes heavily into the mic the whole mission.

I warn them to make the mic ptt if they font comply its a kick

I tend to do this while farming supper credits, I ain’t no looking for super credits on 7+

thats a subspecies of the hero diver

Yes, I am him GT: theOGrigby_TTV

My partner to me. I love them so much

I'd say that's a subset of the hero diver. Right next to the "try my cools stuff" hero diver, the "follow me and you will be fine" hero diver, and the "just want for everyone to have a blast" hero diver.

Funny thing is that with some of the other weapon buffs and weapons added since the railgun nerf… it actually is a terrible choice. But that wasn’t the case when people started complaining and tossed it aside lol

Bet you’re happy you did that because here comes more modules to unlock!!!

Ah, the discord I'm in has the same running joke for picking up samples

I thought I was the only one doing that 😂

Hey, it also helps out anyone you're playing with. Chances are you don't have a full squad of players who all have every module

I pick up every single one that I find. Then try to give them to a player that I don't think has the achievement for bringing home 15 samples by themselves. If I can't, I just bring them all home for everyone.

Rock and Stone to the bone!

IF YER ROCK AND STONE, YER NEVER ALONE!

Rock! And! Stone!

Rock and stone!

_DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?!_

That’s what I do sometimes lol. I don’t really have a specific gameplay type. I just play. For Democracy

Yep! I run off, doing sides and getting samples. This is the way. Mission ends faster, meeting up at extraction with all the red zones gone and a bag of samples.

Not a bad way to play honestly, especially against bots, ive been through multiple squad wipes because people refuse to disengage and try to put up a standing fight

I like to use lighter armors in most games and it works perfect with this build if you add a 380HE and get ahead of your squad and soften up a target. You can then push through together if clean up by yourself. You also die very rarely (with the shield backpack for bugs and fortified for bots) so you usually survive to extract the samples with you. Ya also versatile since you’ll have 2-3 available strategem slots to complement your team’s loadout

It comes to efficiency for me. Why waste an airstrike when a hand thrown item can do it in with just a little more effort?

This is me. And usually we're pyro divers with a flamer and napalm strike 🫡 danger close brother

The extreme masculine urge to sacrifice yourself for the better really kicks in ingame

I do this from time to time, either going it alone bc im a few rare samples shy of my next upgrade (I'm only level 13) and use a spammy loadout full of either entry level stratgems, or at least ones with already quick cooldowns, like the basic eagle, and EATs so im more or less self sufficient. If im not going it alone, I'm trying to corral the dumbass divers, if im not already being one myself, immediately dropping my EAT when a teammate engages an easily evaded patrol to down the inevitable dropship, or a gatling sentry to hold off a group while i get somewhere to reinforce the guys that just rushed a medium outpost by going in through the front gate. The one thing that never changes tho, is that if i run off alone on a bot mission, if i don't die, I'll do the side stuff, and you can call me 007: 0-stims remaining 0-reserve mags left 7-samples (at least) or 7-angry patrols chasing me while i scream in terror

thats me

I only become the “I’ll hold them off” helldiver when we are swarmed and someone else has the super samples. Secure the bag, it’s worth the reinforcement.

We are the liberty in the bloody river, we are de light in the night creek ! You're comment is so real ahaha

The psychic tacticool squad are probably on discord.

@@kalashnikovdevil Or they're people like my former roommate and I - we've been playing tactical games together for so long that we often pull off what looks like coordinated tactics without saying a word, just because we know what we will each do in the scenario.

We chat on discord, we coordinate our equipment and discuss tactics before dropping in. That way nobody has any questions in the middle of a titan party. Also, covering a buddy retreating is given. Is there someone not doing that? (We've all gone through military though...)

I'm the first one. I only use my mic when needed specifically to call out strats to avoid team-killing. We also have trigger discipline.

Phsycic taticool is real. Ran a few with a random stranger. We efficiently full cleared several missions. Splitting up and converging. No communication except using q for vaults.

Honestly this plays like a slightly clunkier mgsv. It’s a wonderful feeling

I'd rather solo a bug swarm of impossible odds than play with others and end up getting nuked by them first 2 times would get a laugh sure but afterwards then it's just irritating like stay tf away from me lemme do my thing alone.

SNAAAAKE EATERRRR

I dive solo a lot because of the meta guys always kicking me so at this point I'm just looking for a good solo build for bugs and for bots that I can complete lvl9s on

​@@cyanyde4950had a guy call down a Tesla tower......then the supply drop right next to it. Seriously you just made sure I can't resupply for a couple minutes like an asshole.

lol the marathon diver

@@DownloadableContentand we Got heavy armor Helldiver too. He’s the one who loves Heavy and powerful weapons, sometimes explosives too! Oh, he also use heavy Armor. He may be slow, but can get some resistance against enemies like a tank. Use them as spearhead is recommended.

As a stim and supply pack diver that is painfully accurate

Shit. You got me. I guess I'm calling myself a stim diver. Though I do sometimes pair a grenade launcher with the supply pack.

So a battlefield medic

@@wifi1000 hell yeah!

​@@wifi1000someone in my game called for a medic, I gave em some freedom stims and told em to be their own damn medic

Facts

Have yet to play on a difficulty over 4 since I’m not in a rush to go for the super samples needed to finish the ship upgrades, but for the most part…..this might be me and I’m ok with that.

Meee

Dang this sounds hella fun. Thanks for the idea.

@@Hiiiro Be warned, slight downside is that your Lazer doggo is really good at friendly fire, including at you.

​@@ravendevino6419once trained it isn't actually a huge problem (I've gotten used to where it'll aim and know when to duck)

I did this yesterday by mistake lol

If everyone uses 380 you'll clear the mission quickly just gotta expect the TK and accept your fate

My buddy and I brought “oops all orbital bombardment” for a defense mission, the rando was about to bring some normal stuff but switched last second to our loadout, funniest shit I ever saw, miss that rando

Me and a friend do that and add being drunk to the chaos... Suicide mission+, 380 barrage, napalm eagle, 500kg bomb, 240 barrage, and see what kills us more, the bots or ourselves

@@gangsterguardsman4576love that name “oops all orbital”. May have to do that next defense op

Given my friends, I think there is a subtype of sample diver called the pink diver. They don't care much about green or rare samples. The mission is considered a failure though if they don't extract with those pink samples even though they need the other two types to actually upgrade their ship.

I love you collector types. Like nah bro, do your thing. Grab it all. I'll lay down the covering fire of Managed Democracy in the meantime. I am more than happy to go through 1k rounds and a million Terminids if I have a guy basically carrying my burdens across the map. lol

3 super samples? That dude is a vip until he dies or the mission is over

Thx!

lol

"Man, I think this is gonna be my last dive boys, it was an honor!" 5 minutes later "OH SWEET LIBERTY WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERES 4 HULKS"

I'm getting too old for this shit

You dont want that?

I’m here to clean the planet of it’s trash. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The elimination of obstacles in the path of Liberty is the most important duty of any Helldiver!

YOU SHOULD ALL ASPIRE TO BE THIS DIVER

You should try to complete everything. The only reasons you wouldn't is if you are low on reinforcements or the super destroyer is about to leave.

The infamous Creek Crawlers haha

Insane, but in a good way

The Liberator

Traumatized

the creek has been liberated, but Tibit is a close second........ except somehow it's the bots that have the helicopters.....

Probably??? Definitely.

yea whenever im completely surrounded in a vc with my friend I just quote the training manual 'when in doubt, shout "FOR DEMOCRACY" and charge head first into your problems' then proceed to get deleted by a rocket raider (not even devastator) at 5m

i am not sure but i played with a fellow with the name ezpz recently, i am def a hero diver and will never change. if that was you my in game name was chinto13, either way, im glad you found some of us. its our pleasure.

some guy offered to take me onto his ship to play helldive level difficulty while i only had hard JUST unlocked

My friend and I are two of those. It hurts a little to play Helldiver 2 and thinking about the 3 lost capes which you get from killing every faction boss. And that there is no Paragon (I think the gun was called so) anymore. Perhaps it will come back. It just would have been nice if you get a special cape or armor set when you are a vet. It doesn’t need to look shiny. Just make it rugged and used.

@@Vistigium117 funny cus we did have a "veteran's" set in the first game, I was hoping for something like that as well.

ey that's me 😀

​@@Vistigium117 don't worry brother, they added the sickle so I'm sure they'll add the paragon too. And hopefully the heavy mech and the tank..

o7

I'm a lot the same. Just hearing the maniacal laughter of a cadet the first time they hop into an exosuit and rampage through an easy map brings a patriotic tear to my eye.

I am a combined Sample-Hero.

the kind of helldiver i am is the effective diver a player that focuses all weapons and stratagems to be most effective as possible for all kinds of enemy's heavy armor or light bug or bot i must be efficient at killing both on any mission type and do not like failing my teammates.

I do that too

I met one of those. I was a mere level 3 cadet and a guy dropped a Rover to help me out. (This was before I even knew you could drop equipment like that)

Oh dear... You do realize that's a very poor return on time invested vs just doing the stuff on the way to the objectives and extracting and starting another mission, right? And you're costing yourself warbonds.

@@TheLizardKing752 One of my current squadies is like that and its starting to drive me crazy. We run well past the point of diminishing returns and all she does is stress herself out. The sooner we get into another mission the sooner we can collect more stuff.

@@Tahllia you will be reported for treason against managed democracy

@@TheLizardKing752 Minmax diver? 😂

@@TheLizardKing752 Warbonds come second for me. For now, I NEED LEVEL 20. I NEED THOSE RECQUISITION SLIPS xD Plus the more time you spend on a mission the more likely you are to find super credits. I got 300 literally yesterday after a couple hours. There are ways to get all this stuff faster but it gets grindy, and I just want to have fun

i think i became the patriot before. I wqs saluting the icbm launch ignoring my team who were hiding only to learn "blast radius" the hardway

Rico’s Roughnecks

"C'mon you apes, you wanna live forever!?"

"cmon you apes! You wanna live forever?!" (We all want to but nobody ever comes back from a helldive without dying once)

lol that’s sounds like a RP diver

@@DownloadableContent The same thing

I didn't know I needed this in my Helldives until now.

😅🤚 guilty...

What hordes

Hit & Run Helldiver 😊

their title is John Helldiver

That's been me. I grab a SSD and 15 minutes later I meet back with my teammates at the second SSD site after delivering the SSD, clearing the relay, and stealth-clearing several medium/heavy outposts Having 1 person break off the group is actually quite a good strategy as the people fighting will have drops called on them, which means the stealther will be less likely to have a drop called on them due to the hidden cooldown between enemy reinforcement calls

@@kaden-sd6vbI completed the main objective for a helldive automaton data retrieval solo while my 3 other part members destroyed outposts and completed secondary objectives. I casually juggled 2 SSSDs across the map completely disregarding enemies. I brought a level 18 friend and his level 24 friend, and invited a high level friend of mine. With him being 74 and me being 49.

Can't wait till I can play with my son! He is only 2 so I got a lil while haha

😉

I always like to look at what everyone has and goes. Hmm. What is going to give my team a headache? Charger/Tiatns? Its time to hunt the big bads. i pick entirety anti tank because i know everyone else can handle the adds. Ill also glue myself to the team so i can deal with anything as it pops up. Hunters/hive gaurds? Scorched earth! Napalm strike and flamethrower followed by planting myself on any bug breach like a flag to literally melt anything that spawns. The jump pack also helps for getting away if anything big spawns because you're literally right next to them!

Breaker mid

Im exactly the same. I refuse to fall into a meta - just earlier today i did an all laser build using the Las Scythe, Laser Guard Dog and Laser Cannon. It was glorious. 656 kills, 72 of which were from the eagle Strafing runs. Also, AMR rules.

I prefer the Dominator. Two/three shotting Bile Spewers with medium armor penetrating headshots allows me to save ammo and most importantly my recoilless on more armored enemies. Scythe is fun to use on bots though. It's just somehow fitting to use energy weapons against them...

I actually used the Breaker shotgun quite a bit not realizing it was meta. I like shotguns cause my aim was the best with bots. I use a Liberator Penetrator for bugs now.

Thanks!

See ya on the battlefield brother!

IM DOING MY PART!
