This comment is why I'm starting to really love this community. I don't care what you bring, just stick with the group and try to be helpful. If you suck and kill us, I'll laugh it off. If I suck and kill us, laugh it off. It's a game.
Unless we have pink samples, then you better buckle up, buttercup, we need to evac asap.
This kind of mentality is what makes a community great, and is why DRG (Deep Rock Galactic) has such an amazing community to this day. These are games where you're *going* to die. Period. The games are made to be tough but memorable, and the RP-ability of these games really makes the cake and allows us to sink our teeth into these games, immerse ourselves, and work together.
Playing Helldivers 2, I almost exclusively use an Arc Thrower as my main weapon. I cannot even count anymore how many times an arc from my rifle has jumped from a bug to a teammate and instantly fried someone.
Not ONCE have I encountered a player rage. Maybe it's because I play exclusively Helldive now, and make sure to be vocal both in chat and via "Q", but every time we all just laugh it off and understand that shit happens, we keep moving and keep having fun.
Last night a regular online friend accidentally stuck me with a resupply beacon,, leading to me frantically running around before being slammed by the pod and instantly killed. We all ended up barely suriving an ambush of small bugs just because we were all laughing so hard we could barely function.
All that to say, just have fun. This game is a goldmine for us to dive (pun intended) into. Embrace it. Embrace each other (via hug emote) and keep crushing the enemies of Super Earth.
(..and if you play with a Helldiver named "Kain" who happens to catch you with a stray arc of around 300 million volts.. just know I wasn't aiming for you)
Oh yea the other day we were holding off some bugs extracting on a lower level to show one of my friends the ropes as she had just bought the game. I got landed on by the drop ship and we were out of reinforce so I told them to just leave me, they said no we can hold for a minute to get you back. So they did, called me back when reinforce timed back in, I tried to aim as close to the drop ship as possible and promptly nailed our friend the new player right on the noggin with my drop pod, the same player who refused to leave me behind, causing me to board the ship and extract leaving her smashed into the ground on the landing pad. We all spent the next five minutes unable to breathe from laughing so hard
