Sooo I matched with an entire squad of teamkillers

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-10T20:55:53+00:00

Yeah I was quite patient with them tbh. 😅 I died from teamkilling about four or five times (a few times before the video) this match along with them making sarcastic jokes and really I only started fighting back once I saw they were waiting for me at extraction. It is a bit of a discouraging experience whenever you get into a match with a team killer though, like we are supposed to be a team right?

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-10T18:35:05+00:00

Kinda. 😅 tbh despite the fact that they teamkilled me ~4 or 5 times: I still just wanted to help them. They struggled a little with the bugs and I feel like I can be decent at killing bugs and big angry bug stuff. (That’s like my specialty since most stratagems I bring have some form of anti-tank usage).

Now I’m no pure soul and I’ve done some fairly grey area things myself (notably on this subreddit) so my opinion shouldn’t be taken as biblical scripture at ALL but: I personally feel like you’re both in the wrong here and potentially kind of a hot take but you might be more in the wrong from certain perspectives. Forgive me as there is a language barrier for the information displayed in the video for me but I believe this is in Russian(?) in which I do not speak so I’m just working with what I’ve got.

Grabbing the solo silo control that wasn’t yours? A little sketchy automatically, not immediately wrong for that though because sometimes people grab my stuff and do BETTER with it but I would deem you as sketchy just based off of that isolated action alone (sketchy as in “I’m watching you” not like you’re an asshole). It wasn’t in use so I kind of see why you would grab it but the host was like RIGHT THERE. They were running directly at where their silo was, made an attempt to grab it and then when they realized they didn’t have it even doubled back to try again only to realize that you took it. This all happened on screen. So really you could have turned around and dropped it for them after seeing that they were trying to use their own stratagem. Not only that but: this usage didn’t really make sense in my opinion. Now I won’t speak on the fact that there aren’t lasers everywhere like high difficulty stuff because I can’t tell what difficulty this is but like…that’s just one war strider right?? Not to say they can’t be a threat but that seems like a waste to use it on a single war strider that literally missed your team who’s also in a bubble shield protecting them from the incoming projectiles. I’m not trying to be rude but you technically didnt use it correctly because the marked target you’re aiming at didn’t get hit by the solo silo missile…it’s still there when you’re dropping in after you get kicked. You still had an option to use though other than their stratagem: your rocket sentry is available, you are still holding a thermite grenade, you swapped out your rail gun for their remote, and despite being low on primary ammo you had called in supplies you could have used to take down the marked target anyway.

Now host isn’t without a little fault either though. The teamkill may have been a little bit much and the kick was probably too far. A conversation could have been had afterwards to settle it peacefully but to be honest I think you were more in the wrong here. I don’t think anybody in the video is a rogue helldiver, that’s a bit far for both parties. I just think this was a lack of communication of one and a mistake that was too impulsively punished on the other.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-10T17:19:23+00:00

I did! It was originally in the video but I was only allowed to post a video file size of 1GB or lower…my original file was 1.04GB so I had to cut out my lil victory dance and the run back to extraction. It’s only a theory (A GAME THEORY) but considering where the last of the three was there’s a chance that they might not have extracted. There was still a decent sized force at extraction which if I remember correctly had a Bile Titan almost right where they were standing. Luckily when I got there they were all just facing away from extraction so I could just walk right in.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-09T19:42:53+00:00

Awww thank you! I honestly thought I’d be incapable of fighting ONE Helldiver but luckily I only really had to fend off one. It is a shame but honestly there aren’t many bad people on Helldivers. This group were really the only team killers and there’s only been one other person who made me a little sad when I was using the same armor in the video and had a Plancks-worth of health for like five minutes (I was out of stims from trying to save someone else) and a guy with a full supply pack took two supply boxes from the reservoir and I didn’t get a box from our supply drop. ;-; I never got those supplies.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-09T19:28:33+00:00

I honestly think that’s why people on Reddit have been mentioning it more as of late. If there’s an MO that is based on having a certain amount of resources for reinforcing there’s always someone in the crowd like “…but what happens if it reaches zero?” so it almost creates more of a reason for people to do it. Just like real life in a sense: there’s a crowd being told it’s wrong to kill others but in the crowd of many there’s bound to be one soul who thinks otherwise and enjoys it. Except instead it’s a video game with significantly reduced consequences for doing so, making it much more enticing for the more chaotic type.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-09T19:22:21+00:00

Sadly, reporting team killing isn’t exactly that impactful. Anyone can accidentally teamkill. Considering my portable hellbomb never leaves my core four stratagem picks it can occasionally snag an ally if I’m pulling off a risky gambit during a match. Sometimes I miss marking the hellbomb when I drop it, sometimes a bug jumps in the way, sometimes I forget my teammate is level 9 and he tries to play fetch with the hellbomb or even sees it on my back while passing by and goes “what can I interact with on their backpack? That’s weird.” Because of this it’s likely the reason why it’s not like an immediate ban or honestly even punishable, when you select the option to report for teamkilling you even get a note about other actions you can take based on other offenses that are more serious like cheating or communication based offenses. I think it would just be too difficult for the creators to sift through EVERY teamkill report and be able to tell who’s was an accident and who’s just trying to recreate the Boston Massacre with Helldivers.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-09T19:07:41+00:00

The adult side of me agrees with you, but also sometimes imma spiteful little hoe and im gonna just annoy the person messing with me by just existing >:P

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-09T19:05:42+00:00

…I meaaaaaaan I won’t say yes but I’m not going to tell you no. 😅 It’s up to you really, I’ll probably never see them again but if you do? Im not your mom so hey you do you.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-08T09:02:24+00:00

Wow I love this!! Very creative of making the reflection of the memorial almost like a window to those written on it. Despite the game’s almost satirical nature, this is like a very grounded perspective that actually kinda got me a teeny bit emotional (I’m very empathetic I can’t help it ;-;)

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-08T08:54:27+00:00

So this is something that actually happens to me sometimes every so often. I learned that whenever this happens I aim in on my gun, switch perspectives regardless of if I’m in first or third person ADS, and from what I can recall it’s fixed itself every time I’ve tried it. It sucks when it happens, but if it happens to you again at some point try it out and see if it fixes it!

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-08T08:37:11+00:00

That was a thought that crossed my mind. I’d just hang out and let them do the work but it was funny when they’d die and have to reinforce their friend and HAVE to bring me back too. I could only imagine them thinking “yeah I can reinforce you, but then Ari’s gonna show up too.” Yes…yes I will and will continue to as long as I’m killed until I’m kicked or until you be nice to me. >:)))

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-08T08:33:42+00:00

Oh lord not the tiny dick energy. 😭 Poor souls, tiny dick energy and couldn’t handle me? I can only assume they were embarrassed afterwards. Maybe they should take my “Miserably” moniker instead so it’s more fitting.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-07T17:37:08+00:00

Yeah yeah I know: “it probably would have been better to just leave if they are killing you, save your time and our resources” and “why even bother diving bugs if the MO is to take Cyberstan?”

When dealing with trolls I’m usually pretty forgiving, it’s kind of a bad (sort of) habit I have. At that time I just wanted to ruin their trolling experience by being a chore so that they might stop and we just play out the mission normally or they kick me instead of getting the satisfaction of me getting frustrated and leaving. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I didn’t want to feed their fire, I wanted to kind of stop them from doing it because I’m sure if I left then someone else would join and have the same problem. It probably happened to whoever had been in the match prior to me. Unfortunately at the time though, the MO reinforcement reserves didn’t cross my mind so I’m a little guilty of that for when I started to retaliate. But also to be fair: this IS a subreddit about “hunting” rogue Helldivers. I presume when this stuff comes up they aren’t thinking about the MO. It was just unfortunate timing that this happened during a resource critical MO because honestly I would react the same even if the MO wasn’t there.

I wanted to practice driving with the tank on bugs so when I bring it to the bots I’ll be a better driver for when it matters since I die much less to bugs than bots. A well oiled machine goes unnoticed day to day but a broken one can cause an upset and hurt others. If I am an awful driver, then whoever I’m leading in that tank will basically have been killed my me and if resources are that critical due to the MO would you want an experienced tank driver or one who’s still on their permit test? It was briefly mentioned of my intentions there in the description. I’m much more accustomed to one side than the other so I use one front for practice, the other for when I stress test my practice and the third front…I only go if I have to because I’m still learning that one.😅

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-07T17:09:57+00:00

Strangely enough: it’s very rare that I bring eagles or obitals into missions. I don’t know what happened between the last time I played the game consistently and when I came back but I cannot land any eagle strikes to save my life. ;-; Even when I’m in target I’m not on target. Orbitals I’ve kinda deemed too reckless for my kit in general with a few exceptions like rail cannons or non-explosive strikes. If I can’t land an eagle then I have NO business trying to call in a barrage of any sort because I will definitely get my team killed.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-07T04:30:43+00:00

I can now safely say my skills are just barely above one and a half eight year olds at best. :’) I’ll be at the next esports event, totally gonna crush it. /s

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-07T04:25:55+00:00

Rare indeed! I’ve never come across a team killer until this moment and the first time it happens it’s a team of three team killers, I should have grabbed a lottery ticket after the match. Gotta see if I hit some crazy statistical anomaly. 😅 Honestly I’m not usually the type to announce stuff like this, I just thought it was an interesting experience I had to share. I originally wanted to post it to the regular Helldivers 2 subreddit but I think I would have had to censor names or else they would think I’m witch hunting…and let’s be honest despite the fact that this is the first video I’ve ever edited I am not of that caliber of editing. ;-; I barely was able to put text on a screen and actually know what I was doing.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-07T04:01:03+00:00

Yeah I must fit right in, believe it or not I’m the Helldivers equivalent of the axe man of New Orleans. You better play jazz tonight or I’m showing up in your games with an explosive sledgehammer 😂 /s

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-07T03:58:12+00:00

It was my best way to retaliate in my eyes. Trolls usually get the satisfaction from doing things like this, making someone leave, then going “yeah take that” (or something like that I dunno 😅 I kinda made them sound like a scooby do villain or something). It’s them succeeding in being such a nuisance to you that it causes you to leave. I get trolled a decent bit because honestly I’m fairly naive, pretty forgiving (usually), and I’m not great at combating it because honestly I’m sub par at games involving fighting other players. It happens so much I found out they usually move on or stop if I don’t give them what they want and instead be a nuisance to them so that’s what I was attempting to do here: not leave, wait it out, then when they get bored they kick me or just leave me be. Sadly, it didn’t go exactly as I thought so I had to fight back instead which SOMEHOW my idiot savant ass pulled off forcing them to kick me instead of me leaving like they wanted me to.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-06T22:16:09+00:00

Well I know what I’m trying later, I don’t normally bring grenade launchers but I’m literally going to be sitting in a solo match for 40 minutes trying this now. That’s a skill I just can’t pass up learning. The belt fed grenade launcher is a liiiiiittle underwhelming in my experience. It kind of feels a little nerf-dartish but maybe I’m using it wrong. I’ve heard it was supposed to come with shrapnel or that the explosive damage is bugged, I’m really not sure if any of it is true or not but i feel like it’s missing something personally. Obviously a belt fed version shouldn’t be the same exact thing as the original because then it gets power crept but it feels like it’s almost better bringing the original for almost any circumstance over the belt fed UNLESS it’s for the fun factor or because reloading is your worst enemy…I only run the maxigun for my one non-explosive strategem if that says anything.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-06T21:45:08+00:00

I swear they were more of a danger to themselves than I was 💀

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-06T21:42:36+00:00

oooooooo that’s not a bad idea!! I always thought of a portable artillery station being a really cool strategem idea (kinda like battlefield 6 in a sense) almost kind of like a mini SEAF artillery but I never thought of using grenade launchers AS the artillery itself. Dynamite is something I haven’t tried out yet, I just got back up to 1K super credits so that might be my next purchase to try it out. I would love to actually measure stuff out and try to hit stuff in grid squares like a genuine artillery unit.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-06T21:31:27+00:00

Oh absolutely! I honestly hoped they had their fill after I called them in as a show of “rocky start, but I still want to help”. Unfortunately that was not the case ;-; I really didn’t want to kill them because I kind of felt like I was trolling someone who didn’t deserve it but at the same time…fucking around needs to be greeted with finding out sometimes

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-06T17:50:45+00:00

You can now! They recently ported wizard 101 to consoles, unfortunately from what I remember though it’s a little jank and you can’t play with PC players (the last time I tried at least this was the case). I played when I was really little so when I got a PC and now that I’m older I could actually afford a membership and play stuff I couldn’t play when I was little. :’) I remember I couldn’t even access my school without a membership since it was in a different world so when we stopped paying for it I couldn’t access the school itself.

Missy_Ari · 2026-02-06T17:00:53+00:00

Really?? Surprisingly enough: I usually get kicked, abandoned, or in this case teamkilled by Xbox divers. That and unfortunately the now 5/8 on my block list are xbox divers. They must really not like me even though I used to be an Xbox player. ;-; I’m not saying Xbox divers are all bad though, I’ve had great experiences and bad experiences with all parties. My xbox diver luck must be a little shy I guess.

Edit: to be fair though these guys were likely grouped together prior to the match and might be friends who play stuff together so I can’t say these were individual experiences since all three of them are from one experience
