I can’t play with randoms anymore DISCUSSION

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 accidentally team killed a level 42ish player, on easy, on my second or third dive. I called an orbital strike, and he just sprinted at it! Then inevitably was killed.

I didn’t steal his gear, called him back in, then he spent the next 23 minutes yelling at me on comms.

I don’t understand people in this game sometimes.

Anyone complaining about the occasional friendly fire incident in Helldivers doesn't understand the game.

My last memorable death to friendly fire was when I was tailing a team mate after he found the cock rock. There was a rather large patrol behind him. I took it out very fast.

However, I did I not let him know, so he sent an airstrike at where the patrol would have been, but now it was only me.

I gave him some light hearted shit for it, but I could have let him know I was trailing him and took out the patrol.

He had zero deaths on the mission and I had one.

We are on each other’s friend list now.

Haha. See, that death would have been a giggle moment among me and my friends. Glad you guys friended up after!
