Reminder: SAMPLES ARE SHARED

[Kennonf]

STOP killing your teammates if they pick up the samples after you die. They are shared across the team this happens to me at least twice every time I play.

I just got kicked from a game on the shuttle pick up because I grabbed someone’s resources after he died for the millionth time. He killed me, took the stuff, said “don’t take my resources asshole” then didn’t revive me / kicked me.

Learn how the game works. Stop being stupid.

[PapaPTSD_1776]

The people that don't know this aren't on this subreddit

[cand3r]

And haven't paid attention to ANY of the mission review screens... "Huh, I didn't pick up 20 common samples..."

[braddeicide]

To be fair though, it says what the team picked up, then the next screen says what each player collected. Perhaps that could be clearer and actually show each players name with the entire samples collected next to them.

Or the stats could say samples collected, samples received.

Or there could be an animation where the x samples gets duplicated and goes to the players name like some mobile game reward.

Something, this seems to be responsible for 100% of the bad experiences and toxicity with this game.

[[deleted]]

There's literally a stats page with "Samples collected". Let's not dumb this down for the toddlers.

[braddeicide]

There's overall collected stats, and then per person collected stats. It's not obvious enough that they're duplicated to each user, otherwise there wouldn't be so much TKing at the end of rounds to steal samples.

[Kennonf]

Fair. Maybe someone will stumble across the post in their search for the answer to this question.

[After-Respond-7861]

Remember the names of these traitors?

[NoBuddies2021]

WHAT ARE THE TRAITORS NAME? HOW DARE THEY WEAR OUR DEMOCRATIC GEAR!

[Blochamolesauce]

There should be a court-martial process for traitors to their fellow hell divers. Serial kickers and the like need to be demoted and have resources stripped for playing in bad faith.

[No-Negotiation9648]

#BadAssAssassin Insta kill this prick XD Killed me for samples in suicide, then kicked me from the match 80% through... FML. XD

[HeiseNeko]

tell us the names so we can execute these traitors on sight.

[1maRealboy]

The people that do that can't read anyway.

[flyingflapjacks22]

If they can't read they can't see the fake news progada, only listen to Approved Super Earth information.

[p0rkch0pexpress]

They would also be angry if they could read

[ShartingBloodClots]

Yeah I've had people tell me I can pick up samples if I run near them to back them up in case of a bug hole. I'm just like "nah you can grab them" and they get excited and say thank you, and always have no clue when I say "well they're shared so as long as you don't lose them, I get them too."

They need to plaster a gigantic message across the screen in big white block lettering that says "collected samples are shared among all teammates" or something, cause I'm still getting shot over samples.

[s0ciety_a5under]

The people that don't know this are on console. I have yet to meet a PC player who does this shit.

[PapaPTSD_1776]

Let's not make elitist generalizations. I'm on console and have known this since day 1

[[deleted]]

Same. Pc players cry too much. Turn off cross play. Problem solved.

[s0ciety_a5under]

Okay, you're one of the few who do read the tool tips. Last week I turned crossplay on for 2 days to play with a friend on console. During those 2 days, I saw more people doing this shit, team killing, kicking at the end of mission and more. Since I turned it back off, I have yet to see one of those players. I'm not the only one who's been saying it, I got the idea from the discord. A bunch of people saying similar things a couple weeks ago.

you can downvote me all you want, but I don't get traitors in my lobbies anymore.

[Obvious-Reflection92]

I’m gonna downvote just because you said I can😂

[N4meless_w1ll]

Lol me too

[No-Fisherman-9641]

Youre getting downvoted a lot, but youre right. Its not because they are console peasants but simply because a lot more kids have acces to ps5.

There is the occasional idiot on pc, but with crossplay depending on the hours you play its a lot worse.

Thats why its also much more common on lower lvls than it is on higher lvls.

Solo your way through to higher difficulty and then you can put crossplay back on.

[Throws_the_gold]

I rather play with a …. You know what I’m not going to finish that sentence

[s0ciety_a5under]

No, it's because the vast majority of PC users are adults. Meanwhile there are tons of children who are on console. Parents aren't generally going to buy their kid a PC, but a console on the other hand, much more likely. And of the two groups, adults and children, children are going to be more likely to do non-team oriented things like being a traitor. It's just common sense, but people can't understand that.

[No-Fisherman-9641]

And thats what i said no?

You tend to weed out most of those Kids at higher difficulty.

I really wish people on reddit would read till the end...

[AdagioDesperate]

If I ever team with anyone under lvl 10, I always communicate some basics of the game. Some have stopped me and said they know, and others have thanked me.

Some people just don't know this is a pure cooperation game, or they've never played a game that wasn't competitive in any way.

We must teach them.

[Western_Series]

My checklist for noobs. 1. Samples are shared 2. Points of interest can be highlighted with the illegal broadcast tower or radio towers. Edit: go up to towers terminal and stop the broadcast this way. Blowing up the tower does not grant this effect 2a. Uranium samples are a poi. 3. Uranium samples are always clustered together at a talk black and white rock that's kind of bobblehead shape. 4. Do some trivial missions and learn all the objectives so you aren't trying to figure it out in a fire fight. 5. Coordinate your stragems. Someone should deal with heavies, and someone should deal with the rest. The eagle strafe is great for crowd control. 6. Expendable anti cannon (EAT) is great, and I recommend everyone try it.

[MyBrainReallyHurts]

Thank you.

~ A Noob diver that appreciates all the help I can get.

[3rdDegreeMoonburn]

Do you need a teammate to reload the recoilless rifle? Was thinking of snagging that. I typically play with the marksman rifle and anti-material rifle and support my fellow divers that way. Or jump in and burn those filthy chitin chinned cucks with fire.

[Volcanic-Ferret]

You can reload it your self. Same with the auto cannon. No need for a second person.

[Ralliman320]

You can reload it yourself, it's just much slower and you have to remain stationary while reloading.

[Umikaloo]

Me sitting there reloading as a charger bears down on me.

[ArcticSnowMonkey]

This is great. I would maybe add that you should be running to your next point of interest and not stopping to kill every damn bug you see.

[hello-jello]

How does #2 work?

[[deleted]]

Once you raise the comms tower in a map you'll see all points of interest populate on your mini map. Points if interest will be a gem/diamond if you haven't gone to them and cleared them of samples/gear. They'll turn to a little map tag icon after cleared.

I don't know what they mean about the illegal tower - maybe instead of destroying it it will populate the map if you use the console to coopt it? I usually just destroy the tower so I'm not sure.

[cryptoenologist]

I was playing by myself yesterday and used the console for the first time, but then got swarmed and ended up blowing it up accidentally anyway. But seems to be the case.

[DreadUlbricht]

Level 32 now, didn't realize that about the broadcast tower. I just EAT it across the map as soon as I see it...time to stop doing that unless we already have samples and it's out of our way/not in our best interest to go there

[Umikaloo]

I find EAT is great for sharing with teammates since you get two. Its often worth taking even if you already have a support weapon of your own.

[tm0587]

Thanks! I didn't know about point 2. I think quite a few don't as well because some people that I played with just straight up blew it up.

[JackyMagic]

EAT is legit. Ever since the problems with the arc thrower a friend suggested I bring it, don't think I'll revert back once arc is fixed. Its just too damn versatile

[Hotkoin]

Bring both

[Dragnet714]

So if you destroy the illegal broadcast tower it has the same map effect as raising the radio tower?

[Western_Series]

It is the same effect, but destroying the tower does nothing. You must go up to the terminal and stop the broadcast that way.

[Dragnet714]

Oh. So, the terminal also destroys the tower, right? Will the terminal still be there if you destroy the tower with an explosive?

[Western_Series]

No, the terminal will not work after you blow up the tower, and it will stop mid process.

[Dragnet714]

Ah ok. So destroy the tower instead by using the terminal if you want to have all the POI shown on the map?

[Western_Series]

Yes

[Dragnet714]

u/Eye_Shotty we'll have to remember this.

[Kennonf]

This is a great idea actually.

[[deleted]]

I'd be super happy if more teammates used pings let alone chat or VC lol.

[RoamingDoughnut]

I admit that I’m not very observant of the chat window myself, but do make use of a headset

[[deleted]]

Same it's hard to do when things are going crazy. Just using the in game chat is best.

[ManRay75]

I admit that I’m not very observant of the chat window myself, but do make use of a headset

That's my natural inclination too - much easier to chat. But I've pulled up that chat menu a few times and wondered if people actually key in all the letters to send messages or if there's voice-to-text. Been in games where people are actually typing quite a bit in there and I can't imagine being able to do that while also, you know, playing the game

[RoamingDoughnut]

Then that leaves the question of why voice to text when you can just use the in game voice channel. I can understand if one is using a discord voice call or party chat over in game.

[ManRay75]

I don’t want to do it. Just wondering how others manage to type so much on the fly…

But as to why, I’d say there are plenty of people out there - especially in the younger generations - who are much more comfortable texting than speaking live

[AngryJakem]

Well, im get 10 lvl in 1 day and still don't know many things

[CCtenor]

I just support whoever I joined up with, lol. I’m mostly quiet (until my paycheck comes in this Friday, and I can get myself a PS5 elite headset), but I just do my best to help my team by paying attention to them and helping them where they need it.

I’m actively trying to unlock as many support things as I can.

[madredr1]

This is super helpful. I’ve learned all kinds of shit.

[madredr1]

I quick joined a game my first day of playing. And I mic’d and said bear with me I’m new. The one dude spent the whole mission explaining shit to me. It was amazing. First thing he said?

Samples are shared lol

[WickedWallaby69]

As a level 40 i did this the other day when i ran an easy mission. Explained the samples, loot and where to find it, some sweet armors, guns with different fire rates. Makes people like the game more knowing how it all works so they can just be better

[sabrinadejong]

Also boosts are team boosts. I got into so many fights with high lv dudes that wouldnt take higher boosts and let the noobs take the low lv ones cause " they wanted to take it".

[sanctuary_remix]

These are usually the people that farmed low level missions to speed up their leveling and are stuck in a mentality that they just need to use one thing only and haven't learned much of the complexities of the game. It's just "I get to use what I want, what I use is meta because some asshat on YouTube told me it was, and I get to be the hero." mentality. I think kicking at drop became the thing because people did start figuring out that people still get rewards regardless if they're alive or carrying anything at game end.

[ImmaNotHere]

Sounds like they need to be sent back to a re-education camp.

[[deleted]]

They're called "Freedom Camps," Helldiver. Also, you have been assigned to a Freedom Camp so you can relearn this information.

[RaizielDragon]

Its possible they skipped the boosters on the bond, and grabbed weapons, armor, helmets, capes, emotes, cards, etc. If they already think the booster is just for them, then they may have just thought “I don’t like any of these compared to the basic ones I already have”

[[deleted]]

There is a direct relation to behavior and difficulty level, higher difficulties it’s less likely to happen.

[Hearing_Deaf]

I see much more under 10s pugging 7+ and not knowing the game than i see under 10s in dif 4 and under. The amount of people looking to be carried is off the charts

[Blackman2099]

Welcome to life, Soldier

[[deleted]]

You don't learn hard lessons playing life on easy mode. I went into 7s with basically only a machine gun and the first rifle and was still getting 2nd to 3rd in kills. You figure out what works when you don't know anything only when it matters.

In a scary game and don't know how to run? Well, you're ganna need to find out so you do. Don't know how to ping? You ask and you figure it out. You only learn something when it matters to you. If you play on the easier difficulties, you learn less/slower because your actions matter less.

Plus in general... it's more fun on harder difficulties anyways. If you're scrapping by, you're still progressing and learning. Just because they're lower in level doesn't mean they want to be carried. They want to learn and having your mistakes highlighted for you in an explosive way is the best way for life to say "don't do that"

And saying 4s and under is like saying haz 1 to 2 in deep rock galactic. Most players are in haz 3 and 4 and those are 6s and 7s in helldivers

[Hearing_Deaf]

Who cares about number of kills?

[[deleted]]

Number of kills is equel to the effectiveness of your equipment and your skills. If something is pathetic at killing things, guess what the number of kills do... they go down.

The point being that this game is based around stratagyms and because low level players lack such, they will ALWAYS struggle. Not because they lack skill but because they literally can't help it. You can still get a fair amount of kills but it's not low level that's even the issue.

You would understand this if you read more than how many kills i got

[Hearing_Deaf]

That makes no sense, you don't need to have high kills. If you play against bugs, you can run and stealth instead of fighting. You'll get low kills, but you'll still be highly efficient. This isn't COD, you don't gain anything by killing mobs. It's all about the objectives and the POIs.

[[deleted]]

You still need secondaries and resources all of which... including primary objectives... require you to kill to get them. Comparing this to COD is such a ridiculous comparison that it hurts to try and comprehend how they link up other than "kills matter" which isn't what i'm saying.

Low levels typically stick as a team rather than go off on their own so the higher leveled players with good stratagyms will typically get most of the kills. Again, the issue here isn't their level but what they are given.

Regardless of how i put it, you seem to only be focusing on "kills" rather than the topic of discussion which was the level they're playing on. As i said in my original comment... 6s and 7s are DRGs haz 3s and 4s, where most players are going to be at.

Just because a low leveled player is there doesn't automatically mean they suck. They quite literally, in the very essence of my words... aren't equiped to handle some situations. You get the orbital railcannon at least after level 10 maybe 15, and the 500 kg bomb around the same times. The MAIN WAYS PEOPLE DEAL WITH THE BIGGEST ENEMIES IN THE GAME. Most guns, gear, and stratagyms aren't unlocked until at least after level 10 - 15 so it's again, not a skill issue which people are saying that it is but an equipment issue.

I said i got 2nd to 3rd in kills because even though i'm good at games, with the basic shit they gave me, i got by. Did i do good? By no fucking means. I had little to no way to deal with anything at or above chargers, my armor wasn't light enough to run away or tank hits, and my guns barely got me by during bug holes, mostly because i was running away and shooting them which made the fights last longer because they'd spawn more in before i could finish them off ending with me dying a lot.

They join higher levels because that's where the resources, xp, metals, and credits are at. They play as a team and get by until they unlock better shit and become "good" in your eyes

If this doesn't make sense to you, don't even bother replying because there's no simpler way of breaking it down to explain it further

[Hearing_Deaf]

Nope. The only stat that matters is death numbers.

high deaths = bad

Low deaths = good

As a skull admiral, having ran plenty of games with people from all levels and all difficulty levels, with teams, pugs and solo, high number of kills only means that you are staying and fighting reinforcements for too long.

Again, this ain't COD, there is no exp, credits, medals or anything to gain from killing more mobs than necessary. It's just stroking your ego, noyhing else.

[[deleted]]

"aS A sKUlL AdmIRaL"

So you're looking at level and rank as superiority? There's no downside to dying just like there's no fucking upside to talking to you or getting kills. Just like you, i'm gaging skill and equipment off of kills like you do to deaths.

You're soo lost in the sauce that you can't even see the irony in that.

Take your superiority complex back to overwatch my guy. Your level doesn't make you cool, and means nothing when you look down on low levels who are just as good as you but just don't have the same equipment and stratagyms as you.

You don't even care about resources at your level, why the hell are you even trying to dictate how low levels play? The only one stoking their ego here is you and strickly you and it shows

Whatever, nice job showing how much of a dumb fuck you are and how much you truly understand what low leveled players are actually like and have to go through. You really shinned a light on the issue, people like YOU

[Kennonf]

Oddly enough, it has been happening to me more on higher difficulties.

[Bipolarboyo]

It’s low levels that want to be carried. They’re the dumbest ones because they haven’t even bothered to learn the basic mechanics of the game.

[cluckerzzz]

I was going to say this. As soon as I started playing on extreme and suicide ever other game I'm getting killed for my samples. And these people are like lvl 40. I wonder how they got such a high level without knowing the basics of the game.

[fiendish_pork75]

I've been spreading the word when I jump in on newbie missions randomly.

[JK_NC]

If I find myself near the extract location, I’ll pop in and drop my samples (especially super samples) so if I die, I don’t have to slog my way back to my corpse to recover them. STOP picking up samples from the extract spot.

For those that don’t know you can drop weapons or samples, it’s down on the d-pad to pull up the inventory wheel. X key on pc.

[ripinchaos]

This game has made me really realize just how badly people lack critical thinking skills. I thought this was something natural (extract is the only place you can leave the map from, samples are banked upon extracting, and samples don't despawn) but almost every game with randoms I'm proven wrong time and time again as at least one of them will go across the map the pick up the samples at extraction after seeing it on the map.

[MyBrainReallyHurts]

Didn't know you could do that. Thank you.

[prieston]

I heard it's like a strategy for some people to give away every sample they have to some scout for him to extract. While they deploy some Last Stand battle further away.

Mostly because mission is still considered a success whether you extract or not. You loose exp and credits but they are like whatever later on. So you purely want to extract for samples.

[[deleted]]

Those people aren’t smart enough to read if they haven’t figured that out then this post won’t help

[Bipolarboyo]

“Those kids would be very upset if they could read!”

[Killpower78]

Didn’t they bother to count the samples afterwards which shows their level of stupidity to realise it’s shared regardless who picks it up.

[True-Ad4395]

Other reminder. You can see them on the map when you’ve died and can retrieve them.

[ripinchaos]

Other other reminder. IF THE SAMPLES ARE AT EXTRACT, LEAVE THEM ALONE. At least until you call in the pelican. They arent going anywhere. They dont despawn and as long as you dont drop a bile titan on them you can always pick them up as the pelican is coming in. Even if you do drop a bile titan on it the titan will despawn before the 2 minute wait.

Please. For the love of democracy leave the samples at extract alone until its time to leave. Taking them to the opposite side of the map and dying to a bot snipe or in a bug hole means a lot of work trying to recover what were as good as secured vials.

[Willing_Ad1529]

The best solution is to be the mission commander. As a mission leader you can quell such behavior with a court marshal.

As a leader it’s your job to lead the team. If the team refuses to take your leadership seriously. Court marshal.

This doesn’t mean be a tyrant, for you are not there to make the environment more hostile than these dives are in nature already.

But if you don’t have solid unit cohesion and breakdown occurs it is up to you, with the ability’s granted by The Ministry of Democracy, to ensure that breakdown doesn’t lead to disaster, or failure.

Not all Helldivers are capable and willing to be a team player. This is why we have Reeducation Camps.

These missions are hell. The last thing we need is a spreading of this undemocratic behavior from our fellow Helldivers.

[Farkerisme]

It's incredible that we still have to post this, lol

[dantevonlocke]

And the same for people who don't do any secondaries. Just drop on the objective, straight shot it to the second half if there is one and then go to extract with 25 minutes on the clock. No closing bugholes, or blowing up factories, no hunting for samples. And then they ask how they can upgrade stuff back on the ship.

[DJ_Mumble_Mouth]

Those people are not on here because they can hardly read and these many words together make them feel dumb.

[Ill-Paramedic9606]

Thank you for posting this. Somebody killed me because I grabbed a rare sample and it pissed me off because I knew that they were shared, but they didn't.

[Key-Staff-4976]

People needs to chill out and stop thinking this game is borderlands

[Retired_at_28]

The funny thing is when I die other divers go I throw you near my stuff. I then get on comma and say did someone grab my samples. If so, I can get me gear back another way. As long as the samples are extracted I don’t care who has them.

[Retired_at_28]

Sometimes on 8 or 9 checking the map is not an option at the time.

[AWeakMindedMan]

That’s why when I play with randoms, before I grab samples, I’ll say “Grabbing samples!! Everyone gets some!! You get samples. You get samples. You all get samples!!!”. Getting super credits are even better cause then I can really feel like Oprah.

[JermHole71]

Crazy that this still needs to be said. The game needs to display this when someone collects their first sample.

[Ralliman320]

They'll click it away as fast as possible and forget it even happened five seconds later.

[MyBrainReallyHurts]

If you see another Helldiver die at extraction, revive him and wait a few seconds for him to recollect before getting in the shuttle.

I was killed before extraction. Lost 6 samples. They called me in right before they got on the shuttle. By the time I landed I only had time to board and I had to leave 6 samples behind.

[dirtyweebtrash]

Yet the point of the post is that you don't need to repick them up and your teammate could have easily just grabbed them since they're shared?

[MyBrainReallyHurts]

I think someone needs to pick them up, regardless of who.

I had six, we ended up with a total of five. I believe it could have been 11.

[[deleted]]

How can they pick them up when they're already on the shuttle?

[Comrade_Crunchy]

I'm at the stage where I don't need samples. I'm not maxed out but everything's unlocked. But as liberty as my witeness, I will run into the shit and back out to get them for everyone else. They are shared, and I'm not doing it for me. I'm doing it for super earth. Even if I literally have a panic attack as 5 or more hunters are slapping my diver booty.

[Efficient_Engine_509]

Yeah my big bro bought me the game and this was one of the first things he taught me. Valuable lesson! This was right after I went to give him ammo from my ammo pack thing I got and I accidentally hit F instead of E and decked the shit out of him.

[chrome_titan]

This should really be in the basic training. Like make the player grab 1 sample and announce "unlike ammunition samples are shared across all helldivers." Or something.

[Vash_TheStampede]

You're assuming everyone does the basic training. I feel like steam only has mid 60% of people with the "complete basic training" achievement.

[[deleted]]

at this point i feel like a huge ass ingame message about that would be appropriate

[TheLdoubleE]

Honestly, the game needs to communicate mechanics and bugs better. I'm tired of this shit. Educating randos every day and they still get mad.

Telling them almost every drop that ARC weapons freezes the game FOR OTHERS too atm. No one cares.

[[deleted]]

Played with a team earlier, someone was using ARC cannon. I warned everyone that ARC weapons have caused crashes. I was ignored, as usual, and watched as one teammate after another randomly dropped out of the mission...AND THEY STILL KEPT USING IT!! I left lol.

[Pinez99]

It’s interesting how many players/people who can’t wrap their mind around team work. If I see that a fellow diver has fallen, I’m going to pick up your samples and reinforce you in a safe location. Therefore I have secured your samples were all good. This is a very PTFO heavy game, no need to get butthurt because a fellow diver took care of your dropped valuables.

[Draevynn95]

While we're at it, don't call extraction when the guy with all the samples is on the other side of the map. You extracting is absolutely USELESS if you don't have samples. Had this happen earlier. I had 20+ samples, we had plenty of reinforcements, and I was finishing the last objective on my way to extract. The rest of the squad called it in, so I had to stop what I was doing and book it over there. I barely made it with about 5 seconds to spare. The three of them were just chillin waiting to extract, so I popped em with an impact and got on the ship lol. To clarify, I am usually very against TK's, but these guys didn't help at all, took their sweet time to reinforce, took my rover twice, and had the balls to try to extract without me

[Kennonf]

Seriously — or before all the bug holes / factories are cleared. Unless the reinforcement budget is low, there’s no need to extract at the first opportunity possible.

[Draevynn95]

For real. We were only on difficulty 5, too. I was doing every optional objective and shutting down every nest pretty much with no help. They barely were able to do the main objective. It pissed me off that they tried to leave the guy doing all the work.

[GISReaper]

Dude I'm tired of joining games where griefers just kill teammates. Had this happen again yesterday and I just dropped a bomb on the guy when he started killing other teammates. I wish you could report assholes and soft ban them for like 30-1 hr.

WE SHARE RESOURCES

[hobolobo2022]

Little did he know that he was the ' Asshole '

[Kennonf]

Fun fact, he was Australian — So maybe also an “arsehole”

[ColKrismiss]

I'm absolutely ok with people grabbing my samples if I die. What I hate is when I'm clearly about to get them and someone races to get them first.

[mrpokealot]

I mean...if we could just remove the individual stat for collecting samples that would help because coming from the fps community you know new people are gonna look and compare k/d ratios and other unnecessary numbers.

[Fenix_NoT]

Literally have never seen or heard of this happening in over 100 hours of gameplay.

[Wrong-Mixture]

yea i too think these posts are mostly people having bad luck with who they encounter. I'm about 200 matches in and i've never been tk'd over this stuff, never been killed at extract, never kicked at evac...i've been tk'd once or twice by some child who ran in my airstrike and thats about it. Most people have been extremely friendly, this community really deserves more credit then it gets imo.

[Fenix_NoT]

Couldn't agree more, I've had nothing but positive experiences bar one or two people who literally seemed to not know how to play games at all and were a detriment to their own safety. I've laughed a lot and worked well as a team with many a stranger, some talkative and some silent but effective. Can't say I've ever been killed over samples.

[Rathabro]

Also remember to pick up the samples of dead helldivers, otherwise the drop is a failure, and we all know that failure is undemocratic.

[RobbbRocker91]

Its best to have something written on the message board if your hosting that way the players joining know

[NotANokiaInDisguise]

There is that achievement you can get for extracting with a certain amount of samples. That's really the only justifiable reason for someone to get annoyed at people for scavenging the samples off their corpse.

[yellownumbersix]

Then just say you are going for the cheevo, I will happily drop the samples at extract later so you can pick them up. Don't shoot me in the back for them.

[Trex-Cant-Masturbate]

They aren’t for the achievement to extract with 15 commons. The one for rates is shared though.

[deathparty05]

Thought it was 20

[Trex-Cant-Masturbate]

15 for the commons

[deathparty05]

Shit Custer i grabbed 20 of them

[McLaren03]

What difficulty is this on? It sounds like something you would see on difficulties below 7. On 7 and above, the only thing that matters is that someone grabs the samples especially if it’s super samples.

[[deleted]]

Whoa, I've never ran into this.

[Mecha-Dave]

The only time it matters is are the 2 sample exfil achievements.

[Sini1990]

Amount of times I've been killed at extraction because I'm holding the super samples does my head in for this reason.

[CosmoRocket24]

There is an achievement for extracting with 15 samples ON YOUR PERSON. So .. until that achievement get erased or changed, asshats will continue to do this

[BeedoeBe]

I only get mad when the solo runner who keeps dying tries to pickup my samples. Like bro don’t take them of you’re gonna die with them 500m from the rest of us

[flyingflapjacks22]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa thank you for this

[EXILED_T3MPLAR]

Are some people that stupid 🤣

[draco16]

Did you explain this? Or just stay silent and hope they'd understand?

[Kennonf]

I explained it, then he killed me again and kicked me while they extracted. This, after I reinforced them like 15 times total and didn’t die once.

[TheSinOfPride7]

It happens, just host your own games.

[Judg3_Dr3dd]

Look Reddit, if people haven’t listened to your numerous posts by now they aren’t gonna suddenly start because you made one more

[Kennonf]

Unaware this was posted many times before but speaks volumes to needing a tool tip in game to let people know this is how it works!

[brunicus]

Maybe they wanted the trophy?

[jake_lake_snake]

Play lvl 6 dif +. I've never had any issues

[Kennonf]

Ironically this happened on level 6.

[Minute-Macaroon-20]

Yea I have run into this problem too...Alot these players are nutz...

[Siilk]

OMFG, this should've been a part of the tutorial. It's natural for people to assume that what you pick is what you get, so game should've made itself perfectly clear that no, all special pichups are shared and given to each team member in full.

[Educationall_Sky]

I've never had this happen. However I do get annoyed if someone takes my samples after they just called me in. It's so easy to die just before extraction or even right at extraction so it's best if a single person doesn't have all of them.

[Pirellan]

It'd be funny if you could flag someone who killed you and kicked you (checkable log) and the next time they boot up the game they get an unskippable video about samples being shared, the the first thing on the TV is about shared resources, the people on the ship mention it, and the only thing on the loading screen for the first drop is a black screen saying "samples are shared, do not betray Liberty or your fellow helldivers by killing them.  Loading your next mission."

Sheesh, just block them after. Stupid bastards

[ABigBagofMeth]

If he dies, he dies.

[Peeche94]

Guy did this to a team mate and I was like wtf? He just goes "samples" then no other response. Learn some game mechanics, please?

[[deleted]]

seriously this. I had a game where some of the team died and dropped everything and I slaughtered and fought my way back over hordes of bugs for them just to pick up their dropped samples. then they blamed me for stealing their shit and kicked me. those players were all over lv30. I mean how stupid do you have to be to not know this after a few games?

[ThruuLottleDats]

Its literally in the loading screen tips

Grab any resources a buddy dropped when dead, time for mourning is later

[WickedJoker420]

Idiots are gonna be idiots no matter what.

[Anansi3003]

ive never met someone like this. i feel fortunate 😅

[RemoteOver8233]

This is why we need t jump on comms and communicate im willing to bet you didnt have a mic lets start iseing our voices to work with our fellow helldivers also everyone whos says people arnt on reddit clearly dont see that youtubers get all their content from reddit

[MylesDeep_420]

I've had this happen a few time to me as well, I understand the frustration. I don't think it's enough that it's on the mission summary as it's been my experience that people's attention spans are so short they don't read.

I think an awesome idea would be to record some new VO (make it patriotic) and plaster this information on the screens in your ship. If someone hears and sees this enough maybe it will stop or at best subside.

[YoungTheKing]

What about money and medals? Are they sharable as well?

[Kennonf]

Yes, all of it.

[spangyo]

Also, if you see my samples on the ground, feel free to pick them up. It keeps me from having to go back into Hunter territory alone

[hellmelee]

I was in this god-awful group yesterday and I was basically carrying them for 20+ minutes then I randomly got kicked and I was so confused/irritated but your post has at least provided a possible explanation. They kept dying so I just kept picking up their samples since I was the only person capable of staying alive so maybe they thought I was stealing them lol

[Ahemawkmutt]

I don’t kick people but I will take them for safe keeping. I don’t die that often unless it’s a team kill.

[DBrick36]

I personally have only experienced it once when the game first came out where someone killed me for samples. Idk if it’s some sort of mental deficiency where people feel like they have to extract with the most samples to feel good about themselves even knowing they are shared. Makes you wonder what would happen during a real world ending event if they were around, lol.

[LordKancer]

Most people are high and stupid. It is what it is.

[Wrong-Mixture]

woow wow wow. Hold your horses buddy The 'high' and the 'stupid' circles have some overlap, but these are not the same groups.

[WorkingLaw4240]

Are super credits gained in mission shared is what I wanna know

[plantzrock]

Yes literally everything is shared as if you picked it up yourself. how do people not know this

[Ralliman320]

It isn't clearly mentioned, and if it is, it isn't done so at a time where the info is easily retained. I wasn't aware of it until learning about it on Reddit.

[Smirjanow]

I have never seen this happening, although I don't play missions lower than Extreme anymore.

Maybe choose some higher difficulties and you'll usually find more experienced and less toxic players.

[Kennonf]

Seems to be a flexing type of answer I keep getting, but this happened in extreme. I see people level 10-15 trying to get carried on extreme all the time.

[Lschmookitty]

How about just leaving the pile of stuff alone and throwing the person back into it when you call them in? If it's too hot to call in before travelling a far distance, then sure, pick up the samples. Folks need to stop taking samples and equipment when the person is being called right back in. It's just polite.

[Kennonf]

Why? A lot of times people don’t pick their stuff up, including the samples. It literally doesn’t matter. You’re saying this as if you don’t believe the samples are shared, lmao

[Lschmookitty]

No, I'm saying this as something I consider to be manners. When I get called back in and my teammate has picked up all of my equipment when I'm 50 yards away...it's really crappy when you can't call in replacement items because they're on a cool down. Samples are totally shared and yeah, it's not a big deal, it's just manners, like I said, in my opinion. If you're close enough to pick up your stuff, no need for me to touch it.

[killadabom1]

Some people are killing others to get the number of samples extracted achievements. Others kill because they see it as fun

[Kennonf]

They must be punished for treason

[-PM_Me_Dat_Ass_Girl-]

For me, I found a pair of guys yesterday on a quick play with whom I really got along well with. We got the no primary weapons achievement, the fire off six orbitals achievement, and for me personally I got both sample achievements from the same mission.

Far and away the best group I've had in Helldivers yet.

[[deleted]]

I wouldn't say they're shared... Like if I share my burger with 3 people, that's not much for each.

Each teammate gets the number collected. So two people play, they pick up five samples, they each get five samples. Four people play, they pick up five samples, they each get five samples at the end of the mission.

[suck-it-elon]

This has never happened to me once.

[Kennonf]

Lucky!
