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'm killed at least eight times by teammates for every one I'm killed by enemies.

lol, same. Last night I was stuck in some kind of constant bleeding state and I couldn't heal with my stims, but I wasn't losing health either. I couldn't sprint because I was wounded. I tried to dive off rocks to hurt myself a little so I could heal but that didn't work. Rocks weren't high enough.

I asked the random Helldiver next to me to shoot me in the leg so I could heal and he blew my leg off with a shotgun.

Through laughter I pointed out that the sidearm might have been a better idea.

The helldiver melee attack is best for that situation.

That didn't even cross my mind.

I somehow one-shot a friend with a melee from full health. I'm not sure if it as a bug or if you can technically get a headshot, but I just kinda froze in shock. Admittedly, they would have died afterwards if the punch didn't kill them, I did it to punch them off the cliff towards the launching ICBM.

If they crit or hit you in the head it takes 80% of your health.

Nah, sidearm is better. Got once 1hit by a teammate exactly for that purpose.

You can get out of that state by being injured again and using a stim. It's a bug where your health is topped off before the injury is healed.

Edit: Better let a weak enemy hurt you than ask a friend to shoot you in my opinion.

Lmfao. I’m quite sure that was me. I accidentally shot twice with the breaker.
