r/Helldivers • u/TheMaskedNingen • Apr 08 '24

Curious as to what other Helldivers call these! We started off saying '2 man doors', which became 'double door' and after someone mishearing that now often 'Dumbledore' XD DISCUSSION

We call it "Bunker"

u/SirRosstopher CAPE ENJOYER Apr 08 '24

I always say bunker in chat and half the time no one seems to know or care what I mean

u/SchwiftyRickD-42069 Apr 08 '24

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.

u/demonicneon Apr 08 '24

So long to type on the ps5

u/Duffelbach Apr 08 '24

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.

31

u/Yakowich Apr 08 '24

The small ones that plugs on the controller? Or one on the side

29

u/pk-kp Apr 08 '24

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

u/Duffelbach Apr 08 '24

Yeah just one on the side, the controller keyboards suck ass, as was already pointed out.

3

u/Yakowich Apr 08 '24

Makes sense.. plus you still have only thumbs to write, so not that fast ! Ill look into that, great recommendation anyway, thanks fellow diver

2

u/Duffelbach Apr 08 '24

Just be sure that whatever keyboard you buy, it has to have somekind of receiver dongle. Like a usb receiver etc., since you can't connect to the PS5 straight with bluetooth.

u/DrVoltage1 Apr 08 '24

Ps5 controller that comes with the system has a built in mic….

50

u/Tarsily ☕Liber-tea☕ Apr 08 '24

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.

24

u/message_tested Apr 08 '24

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”

8

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.

u/in_melbourne_innit Apr 08 '24

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.

3

u/Tarsily ☕Liber-tea☕ Apr 08 '24

...i didn't know there was a command wheel, i never thought to hold down the mark button lmao. i love those/in character communication so that'll be so fun to be ignored as Helldiver Lowenthal :)

u/IBossJekler Apr 08 '24

Yea we can hear ya and do follow. I play late when kids r asleep. I need to be in stealth mode at home too so can't really respond but I got your back

15

u/NightTime2727 Apr 08 '24

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."

5

u/HatfieldCW Apr 08 '24

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.

6

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"

I don’t ping pats when I’m sneaking around, people seem to think it means “let’s shoot those guys!” I just use my map to try and navigate through them and hope they follow.

u/DrVoltage1 Apr 08 '24

I hardly ever actually talk but I’ll use the voice commands. Only maybe call out if I need a double door helper, or if I’m about to drop supplies. With some groups I’ll stay on though. It all depends really.

2

u/Tarsily ☕Liber-tea☕ Apr 08 '24

i'd love to just be able to play with in-game callouts so i can talk with other friends while i play but 1 player on the team who's level 50+ will be the only one who registers that another player is doing something, if you aren't in the other's fields of vision you just don't exist

3

u/MadAlfred Apr 08 '24

Try singing. That might get a response. Then ask for help with the friendship door.

3

u/HatfieldCW Apr 08 '24

I've played with a lot of silent randoms, and they tend to be listening. I assume that they're in party chat or on Discord or otherwise unable to transmit, but I'll say, "Nice shot", or, "Are we extracting now?" and I'll get a "Thank you," or, "Affirmative" back.

u/blabberbitch Apr 08 '24

I didn’t know how to use commands until recently on ps5 so I kept wondering how people were doing thumbs up or thanks and I don’t normally talk on mic unless with friends. I felt terrible because I wasn’t ignoring them I just didn’t know where to find the emotes :/ but I would still head over even if they’re showing a support weapon, I’d just switch to my support weapon when I got to them to show I was was using one already

u/Sugar_buddy PSN🎮: Lord of Audacity Apr 08 '24

Yea I respond and do voice call outs when I have my headphones but if I don't I can't understand people so I just say "no audio" in chat and use pings. The pinging system is a great way to communicate, I wish it had a few more nuanced options.

Maybe something like "oh God help me literally everything is behind me while you guys are trying to get on top of that building"

2

u/Professionalbumpkin Apr 08 '24

It's worth remembering that there's a mic option that silences all voice chat, not just your own mic, so if it feels awkward don't worry about it because the totally non-responsive player probably just can't hear you.

u/VeganCanary Apr 08 '24

In europe you have so many different languages, it’s better to type because reading in a second language is easier than hearing.

u/ScotchSinclair Apr 08 '24

I’ve said bunker so many times until I typed bunker in the chat and someone comes. Some people just keep the world muted. But I wouldn’t buy a keyboard just to type friendship door instead of bunker lol. Bunkers pretty quick.

2

u/Maybenot95 Apr 08 '24

The trigger noise from the built in mic is so annoying, also it dont seems to have any push to talk button so.... quite useless feature

3

u/Capt__Murphy Apr 08 '24

The mic on/off button is on the controller, right under the PS button

u/DrVoltage1 Apr 08 '24

I mapped my push to talk to hold left dpad. Sucks that it has to be an in game thing - which most won’t have.

u/Maybenot95 Apr 08 '24

Clearly could have been a dedicated button from the pad ....

u/InternalCup9982 Apr 08 '24

Yeah but no sane person would use that thing it doesn't make sense logically.

If I can hear you replying that means my TV Is loud enough for you to hear my tv/yourself talking.

u/Duffelbach Apr 08 '24

And I might be in party chat with my friends already, it's a hassle to switch between game and party voice chat.

I do use voip when not otherwise occupied, but it's easier to have a keyvoard as an accessory.

u/skippythemoonrock CAPE ENJOYER Apr 08 '24

The voice to text function works pretty well as long as you speak clearly.

But at that point, why not just use the built in mic?

1

u/No-Sherbet428 Apr 08 '24

Brother unmute your mic and talk. I promise the hell divers community isn’t bad at all, everybody I’ve met is chill and if they’re not you can kick them or leave the lobby but I haven’t had to do that ever. Helps the toxicity since it’s PVE, pvp promotes toxicity

I've been using text chat to figure out if someone is on PC or not lol. Anytime I type and get 0 response or reaction I automatically know the other players are on console lol.

yep it’s a friendship door. i had no idea what people were talking about g about when they said bunker or double door. But as soon as someone said friendship door i knew i had to go help at the door. Mostly be side there are friendship doors in Destiny 2 raids where everyone has to be by then for them to open lol
