[@LoreChaplain]

I don't know if I would consider myself a Hero Diver as I'll still do some questionable things but I'll admit its really satisfying to help under-leveled divers. I dropped in on a Level 2 running an Automaton mission, and I called in an Autocannon and a Recoiless Rifle. I take the Recoiless, and I see him run up to the Autocannon but he stopped to look at me. Without saying a word to him, I pinged the A.C. and like a kid at Christmas he grabs it and fired off half a dozen shots into the distance, then he turned towards me and saluted. I had to ping it again so he'd remember the backpack to reload it. He spent the rest of that mission just having the time of his life, blasting away everything with that cannon. It was really adorable

[@Voidwielder]

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

[@tritonox8472]

so wholesome! the helldivers community is the best!

[@aucontraire1986]

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

[@RamadaArtist]

I just got the game like 2 weeks ago, and I have a friend who's like, level 40. I had been just doing solo missions, to figure out how everything works, and forgot he was in my Steam friends page until he was in my ship. The first game he brought in one of the mechs for me to play around with. And then a bunch of his friends joined up on the next mission and he was like, "what do you want to try out?" and I was like, "I dunno," because I was already having fun with the AMR. But then at the last second I was like, "wait! Bring an autocannon!" Good lord. That match was so much fun. The next day I just played "Defend this Planet" missions online until I got to level 10 just to get the autocannon.

[@ryanparrinello2272]

Gotta say, Helldiver's community is one of the best I've played in so far. Yeah there's a LOT of friendly fire, but once you realize it's part of the game the whole thing just becomes awesome.

[@firefox-ur4qt]

I have played for 3 days. Ran into a game where all 3 teamates were lvl 25+ Hero Diver types. I was level 8. I got to test out all the cool stuff: and I mean ALL OF IT. Mechs, Support Weapons, Cool Guns, EVERYTHING. It was so much fun.

[@grootloops]

This is so wholesome

[@theanimaster]

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.

[@Shea-cv3yf]

Ahh that might be me that joined u on that mission

[@nintendork9207]

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!

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.

[@timo52]

I'd like to add "the couple helldivers". They always play together and tend to stick to the party. But if their partner/spouse needs help. They'll abbandon the rest of the team to help out the other. Bonus points if they actually live together.

One more. The role-player. The guy that loves Super Earth, knows all of the lore, encourages squad mates to spread managed democracy and never breaks character. For me, I'm a mix of wholesome diver and hero diver. I love answering those SOS calls and handing out hugs.

[@tyty8484]

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.

[@justinhamilton2334]

Worth it.

[@darthnoir6370]

The Hero Diver was actually the guy that got me hooked me in the game. I was having buyer's remorse the moment I got in the training facility and I kept talking myself into refunding it when I found out it was a live service game. But that all changed when I encountered a random level 50 guy who helped me get my bearings. He went into my game, I was wondering who podded in and there he was, all authorotative because he was addressing me like an actual Admiral. Everytime there's enemies he would relentlessly quote star wars and Starship troopers, and he taught me how to collect samples and where to find stashes. That was my first time loading into a game. That dude really helped me and his general act was hilarious. Wish I was recording when I was playing. Sadly, he didn't tell me about the fabricators XD

[@rumpyram9342]

May I suggest the existence of the DOOM Diver. A hell divers that either is done collecting pointless garbage like samples, or is tired of dieing 7 seconds into every helldive. They dedicate themselves to killing as many enemies as possible, mission be dammed.

[@madmarduk1936]

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.

Yesterday when defending a planet against bots we started with 4 divers. First we did the "kill 250 enemies mission". No one died. Morale was high. Then we had second mission, one player left after he died 2nd time. Another left when not being called back instantly after he just died on a seemingly empty field when we were already running through reinforcements quite quickly. SOS beacon didn't bring anyone. Two of us managed to complete the mission with 1 reinforcement to spare... What I'm trying to say is. Please don't quit on your fellow Helldivers

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.

The liberator is a perfectly fine weapon. It is easy to use at most ranges, little penetration but good damage and capacity, very good for crowd control against numerous light ennemies. The new weapons to unlock do not replace the previous ones but complete your arsenal so you have more tools for different jobs. It's very powerful when you learn to play in tight coordination with your friends and everyone is specialized in one job.

[@Duros1394]

I ran into a true hero diver this morning while random dropping. Lvl 50, grinding for samples on Medium. Basically singlehanded wiping the map while also being a good teammate. A true ambassador to managed democracy.

[@NorthEevee]

One thing about the Wholesome Diver, I'm pretty sure Deep Rock Galactic turned me into one. Rocking and stoning the moment someone joins a mission, pinging chunks of gold, bittergems and frozen lootbugs has taught me one thing: If you have the chance to share a non-verbal moment of friendship with another player, you take it. From t-bagging at the start of matches of Battlefield to hugging my fellow helldivers, DRG started it all.

The Commando Diver: Usually treats enemy outposts/hives by rushing in, putting a grenade in the holes and running out, sometimes they may put down an airstrike beforehand to lessen the load a little

[@bnzchacon5455]

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

[@hoelbraknofear4671]

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.

[@panzerfaus8459]

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

[@RobotSantaClaus]

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

[@Ramah1010]

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?

[@DrPinkieDie]

You forgot about the Creek Born Raider. The one who is a true veteran of Malevelon creek. They literally never played anything before it was liberated, and only ever fought on the creek, desperate to free it from automaton control

[@Skyfferz]

[@EonSlater]

I'm one of the Solo divers. In my recent mission, the divers I was going to assist on the mission, just immediately quit after I landed.

[@SuperGoose42]

Every time I see a sample I shout "OOH a piece of candy!" I don't even need super samples anymore, I'm just addicted to collecting them

[@TheNameCannotBeFound]

[@kukuV.3]

[@JazzKazoo0930]

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

[@StudlyFudd13]

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.

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

The tacticool squad and the psychic tacticool squad. These are players that may have had actual military service. They make sure their loadout compliments what the rest of the team bring so they will always be a swift answer to anything you run into. They avoid enemies when necessary, and quickly obliterate most patrols before they can call in reinforcements. Whenever someone needs to retreat they always provide cover fire. The psychic variety are basically the same but no one uses microphones. They're always there helping you when you're in trouble, and the group somehow splits to handle nearby objectives without communicating. Then there are the stealth divers.

[@kalashnikovdevil]

The psychic tacticool squad are probably on discord.

[@Dreznin]

@@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.

[@haardo]

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...)

[@JRGProjects]

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.

[@robomonkey1018]

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.

[@helldivenews]

I am a solo diver and I cannot believe how accurate you got that.

[@spickred]

The clumsy diver. The ones that always seem to get killed by something even if its not an emery, they find every hole in the map, walk into mines, and sometimes throw stratagems onto fellow divers.

[@mamaluigigamer99]

You forgot the “I’ll hold them off!” Helldiver. The one who sacrifices himself for the smallest of objectives to the biggest of missions

[@SamPhillipsPT]

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

[@FireIGuess]

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

[@otsdarvafoxxfyre]

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

[@callmeabd6546]

[@madmarduk1936]

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.

I can confidently say that I have never come across a Toxic Diver. When I first got the game, the first person I interacted with was the nicest guy I have ever met online. He gave me the whole rundown of the game and he’s the reason I am level 48 right now. Shout out to Alphatoast!

there's one you're missing, and to be fair they're very few in numbers, difficult to find, and probably still 100 years in the past playing the first game. Yes I'm talking about the veteran OG divers of the first galactic war of 2015.

[@Vistigium117]

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.

This diver will search every corner of the map for anything collectable, must do every side objective, every bug hole/bot factory, will let the mission clock hit zero and still will be out searching for that one last sample until the pelican is about to arrive.

I met a Hero Diver on my first *real* dive. I was fresh off of a dive where I dropped in then pretty much immediately extracted, and some dude around level 49 joined us. He carried us through the mission and gave us advice and tips. I accidentally team-killed him with a grenade. After he got back, we showed him his stuff, but he told us to grab it because we needed it more. That man was a true proponent of Democracy

[@ezpz4646]

As a newbie I can say I've come across a hero diver. Dude was so helpful, I just followed him around and tried to be useful.

And we either constitute the most team deaths or the least, never in between.

I would like to point out The Dramatic Diver, which is missing from this list. The dramatic diver will rant about the horrors they've seen and friends they've lost throughout the war, some of them even have missing limbs replaced by prosthetics. On the battlefield the dramatic diver is very emotional, but also incredibly supportive, trying to make sure every teammate will make it out alive as their top priority. They can also often be found praising Super Earth and the democracy at random times and get very sensitive when someone dares to think otherwise.

Always trying to lock down a secure area for my team to thrive in, while they push towards objectives. Happy to share equipment or help out where I can, and reckless enough to jump into hopeless situations to recover a downed players' samples.

There is an extraordinary rare type of Helldiver that bears no title; They randomly split off from the group, only to come back 13 minutes later covered in bug blood with a ridiculous amount of loot and samples, and finding out that they completed 2 or 3 side objectives and destroyed 4 hives while you and the 2 others were doing the main objective.

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

The Sacrificer Helldiver - If he sees a chance to kill 20 or more enemies with a cluster bomb he's gonna do it... and he's completely unconcerned if you're in the blast radius. It's easy mistake the first few deaths as an accident but in reality every CQC encounter will likely end with your death. They are usually pretty quick on the reinforcements though... but only because he wants more magnets to attract enemies for his airstrikes.

"Their setup is so bad you can hear them breathe, moan, eat, and hear their game sound and music in the background." They only talk a little or never. They Join if they see SOS. They solo only until seeing the SOS popup, but only if they finish their mission campaign first. They take stratagem based on mission rather than meta, or what works for them based on the mission type. Their weapon loadout is random but still based on what is working on the mission type.
