@@Infrared-nyne You absolutely can, the caveat is that it has to be fire from only 1 tornado.....and they tend to have 3 or 4 of them doing a conga line across evac or a mission objective. So fire damage from 1 source can be mitigated by a stim. The moment you have multiple sources poking you for ridiculous amounts of damage, you've lost all chances. Also, it's a very fine line. You can do it if you're all able to get into Pelican-1 soon enough before the stim runs out, but also you all need a small amount of damage so you can stim in the first place. Running into the fire and then stimming is a huge gamble because of so many things that can interrupt your stim.

My issue with them is that they dont kill the bugs or bots, but as soon as a single pixel of fire touches the single pixel of your body or your cape, your hp bar gets obliterated, when they buff fire in general as in flame thrower napalm, incindiary mines etc the tornados also get buffed. Its a double edged sword.

okay to everyone who complains about this: sometimes its (in the eyes of the last survivor) better to disengage and then reinforce - or sometimes they are just FIGTHING FOR THEIR OWN DAMN LIFE before the start to realize they are alone, surrounding the enemy from within. Either way there are a lot of reasons why you do not get reinforced back into the action, rarely out of spite. Damn a mate of mine does not reinforce unless he can use us as semi sentient munition against what ever is looking at him funny. One time i died early in a dive (like 15sec in) because we dived right next to a hulk and NOBODY managed to smash into it. i got reinforced like 15min after for extraction, step-diver just wanted to see if he can solo or something

I know, i'm that guy. I will leave you alone if you feel the need to fight every single swarming enemy and eat our reinforcement budget if I have to. I don't mind playing teamplayer, but I WILL focus the objective and not the 'i will rambo every single enemy i see' fantasy.

[@Tax_Potato]

Even the ministry of truth cannot save this man

[@hunterseekr]

Sometimes you just need to wipe them out decisively enough and they won't respawn near you for a few minutes; but sometimes they do just keep coming from all directions, so you need to have the team's help to punch a hole to clear out the ones in front of you to clear a path to escape. I've been there and been pissed off when the team doesn't help (especially when you're being chased by several Chargers, Flamer Hulks, Rager swarms, or Bile Titans, and your cooldowns are running but your teammates aren't, but they're not helping), and some enemies (especially bugs) you HAVE to kill first before you can escape and move on. HOWEVER, I've also been the one to solo half the map because the team goes off in a tangent away from the nearest objective or most efficient path and get hung up fighting things instead of blowing up the spawner bases or progressing objective steps -- some people need to better learn mobile warfare, or bring better loadouts that can accommodate objective clearing over just killing things...

[@LightingbladeShen]

@@hunterseekr I will say I don't just 'abandon' the team. I try my best to keep overwatch or draw agro (depending on the enemies that is, given my two prevailing builds for either bots or bugs). But it has happened that a squad is fighting a continious fight, three vs the horde at the LZ while the three main objectives aren't even done. In those rare cases I'll break off. But most times I'll try my best to provide overwatch and safeguard flanks and sightlines

[@buttermanaws4693]

Another one I find that happens quite often is when you are doing a side objective either by yourself or with one other and suddenly everything spawns on you, 4-5 hulks just for you along with 20 other bots usually happens with SEAF artillery for some reason

[@lindternal]

Try to trigger dropships somewhere and the run to SEAF artillery and before activating the terminal, make sure to gather the shells at the intake first, as activating the terminal will cause enemy patrols to move towards your position

[@ashemocha]

i will literally never understand the host kicking people. do they not know that everyone will get the 20 common samples the host collected? also my personal opinion, the most irritating thing is shooting down a drop pod or throwing a 500kg, but not a single enemy dies on impact for no reason.

[@steeljawX]

We've had too many games where loot isn't shared and rewards are separate. I think because that's the ingrained mentality for a lot of us, it took us a while to let go of it. It's no longer, "It's my gold chest because I got it and it sucks for all of you other guys!!!" but it's, "We secured these things. I found these super credits that counts as if everyone found them. We all benefit from what we find and samples are only beneficial if we successfully extract with them." A weird communistic twist on this game screaming about managed democracy.

[@ashemocha]

samples have always been collective though, my point still stands

[@devjoenet]

I am actually glad to see so many of these things on here. I was about to rip my hair out, I had at least half of these hit me repeatedly yesterday

[@Omnipotentkami]

One thing you forgot, missions to eliminate a horde of enemies in a small space. You cant place down a sentry or strategem without getting swarmed by Hulks or Spewers.

[@GoodBoyGoneDad]

One of the bot elimination missions I dropped into the base and was surrounded by high walls on 3 sides with a single ramp on one side leading in. I was able to drop my ems mortar, mortar, autocannon turret, and rocket turret in a line near the far wall. Since all of the bots could only enter in one spot and didn't have a line of site til they were in front of the turrets then my turrets were actually effective and didn't get destroyed. My autocannon turret and rocket turret ran out of ammo and only then were the bots able to come into my area to get me and destroy my mortars. That's the only time my turrets were ever really effective on a bot elimination mission.

[@Omnipotentkami]

@GoodBoyGoneDad EMS Mortars is one of the best Mortars you can get against the Bots. It just stun locks them to oblivion where on the rocket evacuations, a team can just pile Bots on top of Bots with those sentries, and a few Quasar Cannons for the Hulk.

[@Jorasaurus]

I hate it whenever you finish reloading and then you shoot one bullet And then it'll automatically start reloading again.

[@hunterseekr]

I've been victim to most of these, and I really hope they fix many of them soon. A couple other buggy problems I've encountered but not seen yet in the video nor comments are: 1) when you're stealth crawling around or between a couple patrols, and you step on a rock bigger than a pebble and it forces you to stand up and immediately get noticed 2) When you're trying to destroy a robot gunship factory, and the hellbomb drops in and either immediately despawns, or you trigger it AND THEN it despawns, and you get overrun and lose because the tower factories are invincible otherwise and you have no way to destroy them and they can one-shot you from across the map if you try to ignore them and finish the mission (the LEAST they could do to fix this is let the towers be destroyed in other ways) 3) stunlocked by hunter tongues from 25 feet away 4)Matchmaking/lobby not letting you connect with other players, even roommates in another room just 10' away from you, so you're stuck running games with either one random other person or solo 5-ish) While not a bug, but another dumb player behavior, is players running right past a double-button loot door after you've already pointed it out in chat and/or voice AND pinged on the map 6-ish) Also dumb player-behavior and not bug, players running right past secondary objectives or spawner bases and not helping you clear them, bee-lining for only the primary objectives when it's not even a Blitz mission 7-ish) another player-behavior one is people using anti-infantry airstrikes or orbitals (such as gatling barrage, airburst barrage, cluster bombs, or napalm bombs) to try and destroy a spawner camp (you need explosives or laser/railgun strikes, fools!)

Biggest frustration for me: Hell bombs called from you can be shot and disappear after arming, while the random ones laying on the map can be shot then explode, it's not fair and not logical. Once it is armed it should be able to be shot and explode immediately, giving you the option to sacrifice the brave person who is arming it or wait for the timer to run.

[@graveyardshift6691]

Stable vs Unstable. You can shoot a stable bomb or even one that'd destabilizing like an activated one and there'd be no kaboom because it hasn't achieved critical mass yet. The ones you find in the wild are the ones that have activated and are primed to critical mass but for some reason misfired leaving them intact. But they are now unstable meaning the slightest jostle will finish the job and make them go boom. The science of demolitions makes a clear distinction between the two and ordinance technicians need to know the difference. It's being able to tell which ones are safe to just walk up to and pull the wire verses sending in the robot because NO ONE should even be in the same zip code as the thing.

[@darkmugetsu6572]

Getting kicked in a game should be like when you get disconnected from your team in mission. You end up in a solo session, still in the mission with whatever objectives and samples still collected.

[@Magothys]

Eagle Fumble: I had a teammate try to do the thing where they drop an explosion as the shuttle takes off. They were crushed by the shuttle as they primed a barrage. Which then killed everyone except the one person who entered the shuttle with no samples.

[@EhrhardRyan]

Three things you missed. Number 1: rocket swarms are the worst idea of an enemy attack. Seriously, it is frustrating and not even high adrenalin to just constantly have to run and dive, and when you think you are safe BAM! A rocket snipes you across the map. Number 2: speaking of sniping. Getting snipped from across the map when you cannot adjust or attempt to dodge. It is beyond annoying when a rocket, or a tank, or a tower cannon can spot you and with legendary accuracy, hit you while sprinting in-between cover. Number 3: ninja hulks, tanks, chargers, and swarms. There needs to be a patch that alerts the player to a 20-ton mechanical beast coming up behind you. Whether that be sound or the camera beginning to shake Jurassic Park style. I should not have hulks pulling a ninja behind me only to get barbecued without being able to react.

[@Erased__Timeline]

1:33 well I didn’t kick my teammate for no reason, he extracted without any of my other team members, I had the supers and every other sample we needed then he killed me and got on the pelican. So I kicked him.

[@Kasumi_Tashi]

someone probably already said this in the comments but I'm too tired to check down, but here's something to add about hosting DoT, whoever is the leading ship (orange name) doesn't mean that they are the host, instead the game decides that whoever has the better system and bandwidth WILL be the host untill someone with a better gaming chair joins

[@onokenfudou3394]

You forgot one major thing though, when you're spraying and your buddy with 0 situation awareness decides to run into your line of fire. I legit had to develop digital trigger discipline because of that, and actively had to call them out for it during calls when they where about to get shot by walking like nothing is going on while I'm spraying or charging my quasar lol.

[@allenbrown8582]

I just subscribed. Everything in this video are FACTS. My rover kills me, and lights random hellbombs on the map.

[@Fthyname]

Things I also Hate : 1. Laser sickle cant shoot trough plants ( a twig ) can prevent you from shooting that little scavenger hiding behind it to call a bug breach .... ( Know bug ) 2. Stratagems bouncing of a valid spot ( you know there is nothing in the way and yet it bounces off like a madman - I even not kidding you had a warrior bug slashing it in mid air and reflecting it at me ). 3. Bad teammates using flamethrower / Incendiary weapons / Arc Thrower : you have a scavenger next to you that will never kill you - teammate shoot the bug and oh wait , they killed the teammate too?! *Mild Shock meme* ( but i know this isn't the games fault but still something i hate ). 4. Intentionally team killings ( also not the games fault ) - People who get in a fit so much they start killing each other over and over while you try to enjoy the game. ( I had a game where 2 people were doing this , so i reinforced one at the other side of the map - he slapped me because he had to run all the way back and than killed the other dude - after 2-3 min of running ). Even with all these i would recommend the game , it is a very good game.

[@gamma_noize]

The advanced eagle fumble: Having your 500 kg or airstrike eagle primed, then being crushed by a reinforcement dropping right onto you and them being blown up while getting out of their pod… What i also hate is seeing my squad run past me the moment i‘ve thrown a stratgem beacon or grenade in the same direction…

[@bill94949]

just missed fire tornados, either the citizens avoiding the safe path to go directly into it, or wasting 7 reinforcements on one single tornado

[@bribwan1bribwan135]

Yep, I’ve been kicked from a lot of missions, but we finished me thinking will be going for the next mission. Nope just kicked me thinking it’s because of my level 11. The worst is when you had to finish the missing by yourself

[@swector_unit4257]

Nope they kick us because we do the hard work hell sometimes the host will kill everyone take the samples and then kick us and it around 30 to 40 common 25 rare and all super samples like there should be a report button for grefing because that is grefing 35 mins for nothing.

[@bribwan1bribwan135]

Yes, they should be a report button. you join a mission thinking you gotta help somebody but they straight up leave and leave the gear making you do the rest of the work then died and you’re thinking oh geez, thanks Would that be griefing?

[@828Morten]

I hate it when a small bug decides to use YOU as cover against your sentries.

[@calimantis]

Having all four people bring along both the EMS and regular mortars will trivialize evacuation/escort missions, even on Helldive difficulty. Just need to make sure the rest of the stratagems are filled with anti-armor of some kind to deal with the 30 bile titans/hulks that are going to inevitably show up

[@spencertaylor-mrliltay]

I’ve got one for the Eagle. When you use a 500kg bomb and it goes off right below a Bile Titan and the Bile Titan just walks it off and laughs at you.

[@graveyardshift6691]

That's actually user error. The 500kg is a bunker buster. Not a nuke. It implodes rather than explodes and the Bile Titan is just high enough off the ground for it to miss. You actually have to hit the Bile Titan directly with a 500kg to implode it downward. If the rumors of a nuke stratagem prove true, I foresee a lot of people hanging up the 500kg in favor of the ACTUAL nuke they confuse the 500kg for.

[@spencertaylor-mrliltay]

@@graveyardshift6691 kinda wondered. I know it is much better with a direct hit. I love it against tanks cause those are really easy to get the direct hit. The massive mushroom cloud just gives off the misleading appearance that it’s sending damage higher upwards but what you’re saying makes a lot of sense.

[@graveyardshift6691]

@@spencertaylor-mrliltay Yeah it's even in the description of the 500kg itself in that it ALMOST kills anything WITHIN NEAR RADIUS. So the actual explosion itself is concentrated in a very small space with a lot of flame and spectacle. You even see it when the bomb impacts if you watch. The bomb doesn't hit and then explode like conventional ordinance. It buries itself into whatever it hits followed by a 2 second delay and THEN explodes. That's a bunker buster. It buries itself into a target and THEN explodes focusing all its destructive power into a hardened target to pierce even the most hardened of barriers. Nukes on the other hand operate on the same 'nose beep' principle as conventional ordinance in that the second something impacts the nose, it sends the charge rocketing upward into the explosive and detonates outward. They detonate on impact. Not a delay.

[@ThisHndlIsAlrdyTaken]

I think the weapon reload thing is because you interrupted the reload process. The gun is full but you have to prime it first. That’s what I love most about this game. Interrupt the reload process and you continue it later from where it was stopped, not from the start.

[@nikoskazalakis6037]

As a Helldiver what I hate is griefers who either kill you to ruin your game missions either you are a guest or host. And griefers are worse when it happens for them to be the host.

[@dominikmagnus]

For future comments that I predict: I play this game because the list of good things about the game is much bigger that the list of issues. Still. Let's see, you missed: - invisible walls around big corpses (kinda like being under a bug, but not really), that you can't go through, but enemies can go and shoot through. Sometimes they can also block objectives. - enemies (bots specifically) stuck in, going through and shooting through terrain and downed dropships (and you can't) - bot dropships not killing enemies they land on and whatever was on them - that bug, that still rolls every blue stratagem off the hill the tower of Sauron is at (just use precision artillery strike on that one btw, until it gets fixed in a year or so) - chargers sliding around for no reason. Even if they were stationary a moment ago and had no momentum, some hits on them make them propel towards you - bile titans murderous antics when they die and ragdoll around, killing you and you mates - bots that are on MG turrets knowing your position even after they haven't seen you for 20+ minutes. They still shoot you across the map as soon as they have a LOS to you. Usually can't hit you that far, but still annoying. - bots running over large terrain pieces, like it's nothing, sometimes walking over ledges 3-5 times their height (still better than them phasing through and shooting through, but annoying non the less) - not being able to steer your drop pod, just because of a single small rock spike or a tall building, that devs don't want you to land on (god forbid you cheese in a co-op game), not that landing on it would've helped you much anyway. - auto reinforce (that kicks in when all are dead) putting you somewhere you don't want to be at, e.g. at deep water edge or behind map boundary, especially if that boundary is behind a big rock you won't be able to walk around fast enough to get "back into the fight", and no, you can't steer back, since big rock means no fly zone, lest you end up on the rock and cheese the game, which we learned is unacceptable. - players saying that everything's fine with the game and pretending that issues don't exist - videos about the game, where you're forced to watch extremely mediocre gameplay, where a player throws 1 impact grenade per 1 regular bot.

[@raddude1328]

A random laser from a bot that just so happened to hit the hellbomb beside you or behind you. Trying to stealth a random patrol coming to an objective but they get stuck on walls making them walk in place and just being at the objective. Then trying to remove them only to result in a bug breach or bot drop. Getting hit with a bot drop or bug breach on objectives even after trying to strategically trigger one away from it so that you can safely do it. (Idk it’s like some objectives just override whatever interval there is between breaches or drops and just sends them to the objective) - this one admittedly makes sense since yes of course they would see the obvious blue laser in the sky pointing your exact position but it feels BS at times. That one random rocket you didn’t see coming. (This is more just me being frustrated at how unlucky I am) Fighting through an entire bot drop or bug breach only for them to call in another one. These are just the ones at the top of my head after some runs of solo helldiving. Fun video thanks

[@Life4YourGames]

Difficult mission does not mean bad! One of the things arrowhead does right is not pamper their players. Playing Helldivers feels rewarding BECAUSE it can be this insanely difficult. Yes, we hate those moments but that does not make the missions "bad".

[@MrLeeDaThing]

Recent annoyance: aiming at a gunship’s engine with the commander but end up hitting the body and it survives (the most annoying shit EVER)

[@CressicaStorm]

The one thing i hate is when i am crouching around an outpost so i can get a good 500kg on the tank/fabricator/objective and for some reason my character walks off a tiny pebble and now i am standing and the whole area full of automatons knows i'm here

[@balex55lp]

Eradicating Enemys Mission with that extreme small maps is absolute Horror

[@TheNoobRapter]

Quantum enemies. Every time their is nothing on my radar and it is a safe time to re load some heavy weapons, resupply eagle 1, or if I am just sneaking. Boom. Enemies just teleport into existence, and every time it is like 5 chargers, or 5 rocket devastators.

[@GmodStuff2009]

I hate when I’m using a flamethrower against bugs or bots and the flames deflect off of their armor and light me on fire

[@orochi316]

It puzzles me that the academy never taught helldivers how to swim

[@Anglomachian]

People kicking you from the mission near the end should result in that person being sent to the freedom camps.

[@Alipro0077]

4:00 there is a bug I've noticed recently where It reloads twice and end up using 2 mags for one reload

[@godsamongmen8003]

I hate how fog limits your vision but the enemy can see right through it.

[@greenpotato8744]

You forgot, having all the super samples and getting flinged by a charger or devastator right into the water and losing all of the super samples.

[@KalijahAnderson]

Your first example is actually pretty easy. At least if you have a competent team. Kicked at extraction is just a seriously toxic troll move. Not talking and holding up the mission for several minutes will result in getting kicked. The reload not working is a right pain. Hearing the stim go off but not complete is also rediculous. I've had it happen 4 times in a row. Weapons in warbonds I don't mind. Supply mantling needs an overhaul. I want a dedicated climb button separate from the sprint button. Fire damage is absolutely overtuned. Wearing armor a helldiver dies faster than I would in real life if I walked into a furnace, naked. Laser dog needs to be above you, not sniping you in the head everytime an enemy pops up to your left. Flinching is part of the game. It adds to the chaos in a realistic way. Dropping your strategem when you get ragdolled is just hilarious. I hope they don't fix this one. Hunters are the absolute bane. A million jumpy bastards is an accurate description. Ragdolling is part of the game. You are a ping-pong ball. Disconnects are annoying. This isn't a game design problem, though. They are trying to fix this. Stuck under enemies happens sometimes. I just grenade myself to death if I don't have time to wait.

[@amarmyape8265]

If you get booted at the end all awards for that match should be forfeited.

[@icfr0st78]

Okay so a couple things I want to say: Getting ragdolled when you're about to throw an airstrike, I used a jump pack and had one ready. I didn't get shot, but the smoke plume things far below me did. Got thrown about 60-70 meters back. Get back to my feet and started running back to the front. Random automaton shot hits yet another smoke plume throwing me towards the fighting. I'm barely on my feet again and I get hit with ANOTHER FUCKING SMOKE PLUME! Of all the natural hazards I hate those the most. Secondly, I've had objective equipment trapped under a downed dropship. I couldn't reach the launch codes for about 5+ minutes.

[@Blakkrazor69]

Shot lined up and just as I go to fire...Tremors...missing by a mile. Going to get on the magic, indestructible Pelican but the Pelican landingpad has been destroyed making the action of boarding by anyone impossible. You throw the Gas Stratagem in and the gas blends in with the environment so your teammates who arrive have no clue and run into it killing their selves.

[@daxtertalon4]

I hate that blitz missions still judge your performance on wiping out an entire map, which is next to impossible on higher difficulties.

[@DownloadableContent]

Yes that is super annoying. Like how are we supposed to do it in such a short time!?

[@depression666]

Bro fax I’m going to start to do these missions solo from now on, Like we only have 12 minutes or something and only need to destroy 11 holes not 20.

[@ryanwing5785]

The enemy aggro is insane sometimes. There's nothing wrong with enemies tracking you in a short distance on the map, but I've had times where one enemy or a squad would follow you all cross the whole map just to drop a breach or bot drop.

[@areafurrynone1913]

They really need to add a vote to kick function, getting kicked in the middle of a level 8 mission when you’re doing quite well is NOT FUN

[@2iqplays]

5:39 I'm not gonna lie, the hate on the weapons is unjustified. People just have to know how to use them properly. I unlocked the adjudicator so that I could unlock the rest of the warbond and only tried it a little bit ago. It works really well when you use it as a marksman rifle instead of putting it on full auto and expecting the recoil not to ruin your aim. Its like complaining about the fact that your pistol isn't killing things as you're actively throwing it like a boomerang

[@kevinwarren257]

I like to add in bile titan corpses. I've been killed numerous times because their corpses have weird collision boxes which causes me to rubberband up and down until I die from impact.

[@TheNoobFN]

What I hate: 50 bugs hording me into a corner, i die, i fall into another horde, i die, i complete mission thanks to my teamates, i die, we fail to extract

[@Dazza_Doo]

Eagle fumble - I had one lined up waiting for the Pelican fell off the ledge and dropped on top of me, Killing everyone else. 😂

[@SikerGaming]

Watching this guy approach a stratagem jammer head-on when he has a quasar and there's a fabricator attached to the side of it is *_painful._*

[@legitmelonhead8230]

Okay, so this isn't a games-journo-tier list of unliked things, but it's definitely a "aren't skilled enough to play on Suicide" list. Evacuation: takes communication to protect the lanes. "citizens run right at enemies" - why are there enemies in the lane? Why did you press the button if there were enemies in the lane? Reloads: I've heard more praise of this than condemnation, b/c it sets HD2 apart from 99% of other FPSs where pressing R after a brief exchange is a brainless habit. Supply mantling: it exists, so release the sprint button when you're 5 feet away from the supply and you won't auto-mantle it. It's going to stay, and needs to, because the sprint-mantle mechanic lets you stand on barrier terrain pieces. Interrupted heavies/fumbles/stuck lock/etc.: no one complains about this. We can stunlock them, they can stunlock us. It's only fair. (this is a journo-tier complaint.) Getting stuck under a bug: There's a 4000lb bug standing on you. Guard dogs: This is probably the one complaint I'm on board with. I think a lot of it would be solved by simply lowering the range of the dog's detection. I'm fine with a little friendly fire, but if I'm just standing there with it at my shoulder, and out of nowhere it turns sideways and double-taps my nugget because a cockroach farted two miles to my left - that's eyeroll-inducing.

High priority citizen missions aren’t difficult, everyone just refuses to play it as intended

Hunters in general and the dropships not killing their passengers when shot down are my biggest two hates, if I ever encountered a griefer they would also go here

[@zsoltlang2144]

The thing I hate is when enemys shoot through cliffs or just clip through it, and teleport on top of it, if you are on it. BUT THE WORST THING IS 500Kg bomb is the biggest, like give us a 13 tonn one and give us more vehicles like tanks with ap and he shells 30 30 each

[@numberonerookieninja]

I've never had an issue with the flamethrower or napalm. I'm usually playing with my brother so I'm almost always on his ship. I know my flames work as intended because we've been in the situation where I was the only one alive and I was fine. Took down chargers, nests, titans. Literally no issue
