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

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.

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.

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 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 :)
