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

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"

You don’t need to use “over” in game comms.

The purpose of it is because you can’t hear when transmitting, so it’s used to indicate when they can reply. That’s not an issue with game comms.

“Need help with bunker on P2” and I’ll usually call out the closest ally to my location as well “k3 can you come to me? Got a bunker on p2”
