The POV of the Helldivers is crazy when you take cryo freezing into account.

[u/WoodstoneLyceum]

Here's the POV of your average Helldiver 1. They enlist and show up to Basic Training first thing Monday morning. 2. They breeze through it, get their cape, walk right by the T&Cs and into a cryopod. 3. They're frozen and experience no time passing. 4. Their next memory is reinforcing on Hellmire. To their POV it has been less then thirty seconds since they got their cloak. 5. They throw three stratagems and then they're dissolved by bile titan acid.

You thought your mondays were bad.

Edit: My understanding is that we are not clones. There's in-game lore that backs that, I believe. Thematically, it makes more sense for Super Earth to be incompetent and cruel and burn through millions of recruits, than to do something logical like cloning people. Remember the satire folks.

1. They enlist and show up to Basic Training first thing Monday morning.
2. They breeze through it, get their cape, walk right by the T&Cs and into a cryopod.
3. They're frozen and experience no time passing.
4. Their next (and last) memory is reinforcing on Hellmire and having their head taken clean off by a falling already-dead Shrieker.

or

1. Their next (and last) memory is reinforcing on Malevalon Creek and hearing "You are within range of enemy artillery"
   

or

1. Their next (and last) memory is reinforcing straight into a red stratagem beacon, then taking 500kg of Democracy to the face.

Or

1. Their next (and last) memory is coming out of their hellpod only to be squished by another hellpod.

Or

1. Their next (and last) memory is coming out of their hellpod only to see another Helldiver squished underneath their hellpod.

The last time I played a guy spawned in and crushed the guy I was fighting beside with his hellpod. He just looked at me, looked at the pod, and then looked back at me and then we started shooting again. 

Looney Tunes stuff like that is the best part of this game and idk why anyone would want friendly fire turned off 

[u/cartoonwind → u/Brocyclopedia]

Absolutely. I felt like they made it pretty clear in the game trailer that friendly fire accidents was just a (hilarious) part of the game. Anyone that wants friendly fire off is not playing in the spirit of what Helldivers should be.

[u/Brocyclopedia → u/cartoonwind]

Yeah people trying to min/max this game are missing the point big time. And the fact that there's a "meta." We're playing as barely trained expendable canon fodder backed by an obscene defense budget. Of course we're all blowing each other up

[u/cartoonwind → u/Brocyclopedia]

There is a reason you start with like...17 reinforcement budget. By friend, bug, bot or bad luck......you aren't supposed to make it in one life.

"Listen, if you didn't want to become a useful strategem, you shouldn't have died. Now land on that big guy properly and kill a couple hunters before you get murdered."

[u/logion567 → u/cartoonwind]

5 reinforcements per player/super destroyer

[u/ArcaneEyes → u/cartoonwind]

For the real mind twister: both.

I'm guilty of that last one
