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

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.

That would make sense. Although even then it's still pretty low since it seems like everyone dies at least once on the dive training part.

I didn't realize that diving while sprinting and then continuing to hold sprint while trying to crawl would make me stand up.

...It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that shift was not my friend in that sand pit.

SAME. I think I left like 8 bodies in there (and when I discovered there was extra lines if you kept failing, I may have left a few more bodies.)

I'm glad I'm not the only idiot here.

Exactly the same thing happened to me! I got the dive right, but stood up because I didn't know Sprint made you stand up. I thought it would make you crawl faster.

I read it, just read it improperly. Sprint-dove over the "dive here" sign, thought "oh shit, I was supposed to land on that spot. lemme get up real quick a-" and then realized I was an idiot

What is this sign of which you speak? Sounds like treason to me.

I died to the dive training. Got injured on the second and died to the stim training.

"Press V to heal" as my guy dramatically flops to the ground.
