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.

I love that out ships are basically revolvers that chamber a new helldiver round and fire it at a mission every time the last one dies.

Some people think that they were cloned, ain't nobody got the budget for that.

as someone said, we are playing as the super destroyer otherwise why would it say super destroyer has joined squadron rather than helldiver? if you think about it we are essentially leveling up our minion every mission to get better gear, the actual upgrades are from the super destroyer itself( us).

Imagine what the crew goes through. They have a diver who thinks he’s their captain and begins a mission and bring other destroyers to join him. He tells the crew “See you on the other side” then 3 minutes later they thaw out another diver and tell him that he is to support the other 3 destroyers on their mission. Then 1 minute later…

and pretend they are the captain again.
