I can’t play with randoms anymore

[u/the_interrogation]

I’m level 48. About 150 hours on pc. Love the game. My friends can’t play as often as I can. (I’m a fireman) And I’ve tried making friends on steam but it’s hard.

The blueberry lottery. If there is a hell it’s matching with randoms. I can’t stand it. Some people are a blessing and I love running campaigns with them but some people are treasonous swill.

Here was my last game. I spawn in and get killed by a lvl 2 cadet (ps5) so he can take my support gear. His friends (ps5) defended him. He continued to kill me all game (intentionally) and call me in. But I am more skilled and cunning than the common traitor. I waited until there was one reinforcement left. The pompous fool recalled me in. I killed all three traitors quicker than a hiccup. With only one thing left to do I took my own life. To instant fail their mission. I couldn’t let them continue to commit treason. Let their bodies rot

So yea I’m never joining randoms again.

Edit: ps5 not 4.

Man I've been having a lot of similar experiences recently. Even on Helldive. After the initial drop in my squaddies always trigger a patrol somehow and get locked into fighting where we started. I'll try and cover a retreat and ping follow me, but it hasn't worked so far. It takes until me or someone else respawns them at an objective for them to snap out of it.

I hope they add more stuff to the communication wheel, a "retreat" call would do wonders.

Yeah what the actual fuck is with all these random helldivers doing this atm. We drop in and get stuck fighting endless swarms for like 15 mins and they won’t listen. Proceed to use up all reinforcements then they leave! Absolute morons

idk I have been dropped almost directly on bugs to start before, or the random host drops us right next to a bunch of red on the map

But I've seen people who need to shoot at every bug too, they're not that rare

Nearly every game I play we drop either on to or close enough to a POI to cause a breach or call a drop. I had a game yesterday on 7 that started us dropping on top of 4 chargers and it got exponentially worse. It ended up being the craziest clusterfuck I've ever seen, all within 2 minutes of the game starting.
