[@Dostoron]

the irony that no one is hurting for super samples but everyone needs more orange is not lost on the logistics department.

[@0Wheezy]

You don't "need" the supers. How about your team mates who are actually completing the mission? I grab all the samples I see even if I don't need them. Team mates probably do, and probably would appreciate you grabbing them.

[@aarepelaa1142]

Yeah selfish prick move if you ask me, but overall if its in a spot where you can't stand around with enemies chasing you it's reasonable to just go past them honestly

@@aarepelaa1142 agreed don't jeprodize the mission for them or anything but if you are already just grabbing samples and not doing the mission objectives, that's another story.

yeah i agree. seems like every bug mission has to have flyers now when they originally were supposed to be a special occurrence like stalkers

[@kinderdm]

They're a patrol now, like the gunships for the bots. They are only annoying though depending on your loadout. I really like the breaker incendiary, which takes out multiples of them in a single shot. I rely on stratagems for tankier enemies instead so it's a tradeoff for sure.

[@VeddeRob]

I get smoked on level 6 solo when I try to farm the orange ones for now but getting better. How you guys play on these higher levels alone is crazy

[@Sotanaht01]

I personally find Rare samples to be the bottleneck. Common Samples can be obtained on Eradicate missions or Trivial, and you will usually find more Commons than Rares when playing "normally" on higher difficulties. Even SHD where there are technically more rares than commons (counting the special pickup), the Common samples are just easier to find so you usually come home with about 25 commons and 18 rares. While it's true you don't have to complete the mission, it's generally safer and more efficient if you do. If you hit the time limit you need to survive for 2-5 more minutes while Evac arrives with 0 extra lives or strategems, losing ALL your hard work if you die. That's a really big risk after you've spent 20 minutes to gather as many samples as possible.

[@EtherealSwift]

seems everyone has a different pov, just looking at the comments :)

[@krazyivan9733]

The only sample farming guide you will ever need: Don't. There's no need to rush progression. This isn't a some mobile game with a competitive meta where you need to grind to be viable. In fact, ship upgrades apply to every player of a lobby as long as one person has it unlocked. Just focus on enjoying the game and pick up samples where you can, you'll get there eventually.

[@WoodbabyCYL]

Best advice!

[@vlanson6529]

I remember going through the grind for the upgrades, I still pick up everything and risk my life for those samples for those who still work for it.

[@sonofsanguinius176]

[@taxa1569]

Fyi shotgun pistol is actually exceptional against flyers :) either wait for the dive or spray em down (which you're practically doing already) 2 good hits does it usually but with multiple pellets... Plus it staggers most other enemies so it's nearly always worth it.

[@EtherealSwift]

I just want my teammates to actually collect samples. My fellow helldivers are the ones keeping my rare count low. Not the enemys themselves

[@krzakijegogoebie3599]

i not sure if you know it, arrow head change it by some time. super samples can be collected even on lvl 6. it is 2, or 3, but still. it doesn't make to many sense, because of the colour management in the difficulty icon, but you can see it under the number in taktimap

[@Anonymous-qo4so]

I wish i had a team to help farm samples. Lol. Playing with randoms is the the typical outcome; they just want to rush the mission and extract asap. Like folks just snipe spore spewers and dont even bother going to pick up the samples. I usual end up back tracking and wasting time a lot just picking up samples they leave behind. Lol

Even though it isnt the point, this video does a great job of displaying each and every problem I have with the bugs and why I hate them. They feel like they were designed specifically to be as infuriating as possible with the slowing effects, the attacks that always hit you even if you are sprinting directly away, and the flyer bodies that can and will instakill you if you happen to kill them while they are diving at you which is extremely hard to tell.

[@GameGod77]

I really hope they add a way to convert samples to higher tiers. I'd be happy to trade 100 commons for 1 rare. It doesn't remove time commitment but it'll stop you from being capped when chasing higher tier modules.

[@ValcryeTheSecond]

what I dont understand is the portions of samples that are used. For top tier upgrades its usually like 20-30% of max commons, 30% of max supers, and a whopping 80% of max rares, leaving me topped off of everything but rares. I really wish it would be lowered for just rare counts

[@Ren99510]

If any of you are wondering why you struggle to get enough common samples yet are fine on rare and supers, it's because a lot of players literally just don't pick up common samples. I've walked behind people before and had to pick them up as they run right over them like they're trash haha

0:10 Don’t know what you talking about That mod is essential if you want to bring sentries to automaton missions. The rocket and autocannon sentries are insanely good if you get a good placement on them.

[@EtherealSwift]

In the end, I still would just prefer more sentry health altogether (like the other upgrade). This would benefit against all factions. chargers still one shot sentries, making them hard to pick in higher difficulties because of the amount of them. I say this in the video because I never really notice them being exploded by rockets, (and to make funny joke).

They really need to bring new stuff to use with ur samples. Im maxed out like 2 months and I always try to get those samples for my other brothers on the battlefield (im lvl 121) but some brothers dont even care to Pick them up cause they maxxed out too.

ngl rare samples are my thing like I gave max everything but like no rare

[@Strav24]

IMO bot missions are easier to do quickly, but im fairly certain bug missions just have more POIs

[@faessle4067]

Also finishing missions fast but safe with samples is also better than searching the whole map for 10 more samples. In that time you could clear a whole other mission. Just how I feel if you want to max the farming of ingame resources, but if you play for long enough you will get everything eventually.

[@dnakatomiuk]

Hosts should have a command that unlocks extraction I'm getting annoyed because last night all I had was team killers or mission kickers before you even start.

I suggest getting all upgrades up to tier 3 before going deeper in one, they are generally more useful for the price, tier 4 and 5 are insanely expensive and only a few are good. Also the turrets get waaaay better with upgrades. And as was said before place them better or place them before you're in combat and they perform much better. Basic mg sentry is my favorite as the cooldown is so short you can use him to pull aggro away from you

[@buttersticks7877]

i only ever need rares nowadays. common samples are SOOOOO easy to find and accumulate. they are ALWAYS the ones you get the most of. for some reason, though, you need essentially the same amount of rares as commons for the ship upgrades, which I still don't understand given that rares are rarer and there are less of them in any given run. anyways, I don't actually know anybody who's struggling to find commons. like, at all. rares have always been the dookie head problem children of the samples. also, if you're gonna be sample farming on public, tell your teammates. "I'm sorry I'm not helping guys but I'm sample farming." just tell them. if they wanna sample farm too, they'll stay. if they wanna play the game normally without one of their teammates running amok and not helping anyone, then they'll go somewhere else.

the arc thrower is probably the best terminid weapon it clears the horeds so easily because of the stun and it bounces on the shreikers too, just run thermite for big mfs and you are set

[@mattm3023]

I recommend people solo bots on level 5 for rares, as you can clear small bases and get 2 rares per base plus 2-3 at extraction, plus POIs. I prefer soloing blitzes at 6 or 7 though they can get hectic enough that I cant grab all the samples. Above that its too crazy to bother with samples by yourself. Bugs are fine too but often they keep you too mobile when alone. Of course having teammates helps all that but randoms are too random for me.

Thank youuuu, I have an excess of rare and super, I desperately need common. Really hoping with the new platoon feature coming with the space station that we can trade samples or something.

[@Sotanaht01]

For Common samples, Eradicate missions have a fixed sample layout. Once you learn the locations, you can gather all 13 samples while completing the mission. It used to be faster when you could do Eradicate in less than 5 minutes, but now you will usually have larger windows to run around the map when there aren't any enemies present so it's easier to grab the samples. Also if you ever want to farm Super Credits, you can pick up a bunch of samples on Trivial and then finish the mission instead of quitting.. I wouldn't really recommend it generally but if commons are all you need it's an option. Definitely faster than farming for rare samples.

yeah flyers were just from nests, then there was an effect added that there could be just be roaming packs of flyers, and now even without the effect they seem to be able to spawn normally, also i agree that their bodies shouldnt really be able to hurt you AFTER they die thought Bile Titans can also inflict damage on you when they ragdoll. ive seen plenty of teammates die to a ragdolling titan
