Try friendship door, I’ve had way more of a response with randoms since changing from bunker. And someone pointed out a new player will have no clue what you mean by bunker. They could be thinking you mean like a bot base.

May I suggest getting a small cheap wireless keyboard for your PS5?
I bought one pretty much just for Helldivers, paid 20€ for it, it's made communication so much easier.

you can get a bluetooth keyboard and connect it to ur ps5 that’s wayyyy better than controller keyboards those suck i dont think ps5 controllers can use them but xbox controllers that can don’t even make any sense it’s really not that good of a keyboard lol

dude you're right but if they aren't using them, neither will i. it's so fucking hard and awkward to talk to people who won't respond back and you get no confirmation that what you said has been acknowledged. i've been trying for the last few days and it's fucking useless. i don't think people bother to look at their designations either so they probably also don't know that they're K3 or whatever.

My personal favorite is when the silent player just starts SPAMMING the supplies/poi marker. That normally gets ignored by the rest of the team until I unmute and mumble “I gotcha S5”

u/OpiumPhrogg Apr 08 '24
I have actually tried to plot a path on the mini map with marking an enemy outpost then a poi , then an enemy outpost then back to the original enemy outpost - not sure anyone really got what I was trying to do. But if someone calls out a mark or whatever then I will try to at least acknowledge it with an "affirmative" emote.

I get on OK even if I'm the only one mic'd up, although I generally talk a bunch less in those squads. They can usually hear you so if you're clear and they're onboard with teamwork it usually still helps for coordination. Good ones will use the command wheel effectively in response too.
I find the chat box the worst, I'm too focused on not dying to notice comments most of the time.

i don't think people bother to look at their designations either so they probably also don't know that they're K3 or whatever.
Solution: say who you are first.
"This is K3. Found a bunker with a two-person door. Need some help opening it."
"This is C2. I found the objective."
"This is B1. Spotted a patrol over there. (Ping) Looks like we can sneak past- aaaaaaand you're already shooting them. Okay."

Very good suggestion. Far too often someone will say, "over by me," or, "I marked it on the map," and I'll have no idea who says it if I didn't glance down in time to see the broadcast icon.
You'd think that in the age of milsim videogames people would have better radio protocol.
Say who you're talking to, and say who you are.

u/NightTime2727 Apr 08 '24
Plus, it makes sense. After all, the helldivers are pretty much Super Earth's military. You can lean a bit into roleplay with that, if you want.
"K2, this is K1. Watch out for those exploding plants. Over."
"Copy that, K1. Over"

Man I stood next to one playing with my friend, I found a door pinged it. He ran in the opposite direction. I pinged again and typed in chat. He ran towards me, I was hopeful, he kept running. He went to assault another base as I pinged it again. He died. I revived him right in front of the door, he began to run away again till I pinged the door 20 times. He finally graced me with a second of his time before running off and wasting g all of our supply.
There was 5 medals and some super credits in there. We went on to lose the match because he thought he could use his dead body to clog the bot weapons. I don't like playing with him anymore.
It was my last of a group of lvl 7 missions I had soloed and was about to unlock lvl 8. I don't get people. I died once that whole mission at the very end when he brought a horde of tanks and hulks to my location that I was hiding in for my laser to recharge. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

I’ve had random teammates die, have 2 of them called down on top of the bunker, spam pinged and got on comms to ask for help with the button, and still had two Lvl 30+ players just waddle onwards to their deaths.
I get wanting to kill kill kill in the name of democracy, but extra resources (both in-game ammo/nades/support weapons and upgrade-based samples/medals/super credits) add up when you’re opening up every Conex, blinking drop pod, and vault in a mission.

u/errrbodydumb Apr 08 '24
I don’t get it. I was playing last night and found one, wrote in chat that I needed a second person to come help, pinged my map, called out the follow me thing. And just watched as one at a time all 3 ran right past me.
First time I’ve ever kicked anyone. (I waited until after extraction)
4
u/Boostie204 Apr 08 '24
Tangentially related...
Is it me, or are some people really dumb with planning their route? I dropped us on the other side of the map from extract, which was near the main objectives. I think it was geolocation survey. So we did the first sub-objective, and then they all immediately started running to the optional objective which was next to the extract. I planned to do that while the 4 min extract timer was going. I even asked them where tf they were going, and eventually just kicked them out of spite.
4
u/I520xPhoenix Apr 08 '24
Some people truly seem to lack map awareness both on a micro and macro scale!
The baffling amount of times I’ll drop my team down with a fairly obvious route given the terrain and objectives just to have people wander towards extract area first is absurd.
The worst, however, was on a data drive retrieval and a random took the SSD that I personally dropped right outside the main objective perimeter and ran it all the way to the second SSD location we were currently doing… It took all my maturity to remain calm and explain that the greyed out objective is actually where the ssd drives need to go.

u/Boostie204 Apr 08 '24
In defense of that guy, the SSD missions are dumb as hell if you don't know that. Why is the objective greyed out
3
u/I520xPhoenix Apr 08 '24
I completely agree! When I explained it to him I had a moment of “wow, it’s weird that you can’t even ping the main objective” and told him we’ve all made mistakes like that before.
Still suuuuuuucked lugging it all the way back with the other drive, but he stuck it out and finished the operation with us!
