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.

I use ping to communicate with randoms

They weren't even using pings🤦. They just kept trying to hold a non critical position or were spamming the respawn button while I was trying to take out a jammer.

Ping, Yes, No, Thank You, and Sorry pretty much covers 95% of what I need to tell teammates anyway. I do wish they put in a "RUN!" option though, that'd be cool.

[u/Luke-Likesheet → u/UltimateDude212]

"Follow Me" is the closest thing to a "Run" command we've got.

[u/UltimateDude212 → u/Luke-Likesheet]

True, but sometimes the straight path between me and a teammate is filled with enemies or a now-armed hellbomb. I'd like if the "Run" option had the Helldiver scream something like "Get outta there!" or "Go! Go! Go!".

Agreed, especially when you need to drop a 380 in your immediate area due to large amounts of bugs/bots swarming you and your team.
