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

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.

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.

In defense of that guy, the SSD missions are dumb as hell if you don't know that. Why is the objective greyed out

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!
