I leave that one for the lower level players to take so they can feel like they're contributing to that part.

Also, I die a lot.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 7 months ago

I do the same thing. And then cringe when they take something else like decreased extract time.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 14 points 7 months ago

What?! Extraction isn't even required for the mission to count as successful!

Such undemocratic inefficiency.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Exactly! It's a worthless stratagem from a democracy point of view!

[-] MarauderIIC@dormi.zone 1 points 6 months ago

And you can block patrol spawns right now by standing in the right spots anyway, so why bother speeding it up?

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 7 points 7 months ago

theyll just disconnect after their first jammed reinforcement.

[-] Tire@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

I just realized that the boosters effect everyone ๐Ÿคฏ

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah I was an embarrassing level when I found our resupplys are for everyone

[-] Tire@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

Same. I thought I was being a cool guy sharing my personal resupply with the team.

[-] Ethalis@jlai.lu 31 points 7 months ago

I'm so used to playing with that booster on that it feels awful to not get full inventory on respawn

[-] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 19 points 7 months ago

Honestly! Spawning in with only two grenades is terrible

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 11 points 7 months ago

Yeah if no one runs the booster, I immediately call in the resupply when we land. 2 grenades and stims is some bullshit.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Wait. That's not how you're supposed to play? Bullseye a bug hole/bot fab with your pod, clean up stragglers, drop a supply (on a hole or other stragglers) and then call for your support weapon/jetpack... Then, begin the mission.

Right? ๐Ÿซ 

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

I try to avoid dropping hot if I can, just because it sucks so much ass to get rocked by heavies before you can call down your support weapon. Still, it does feel gangster as hell to land in and murder a whole patrol before they can call in backup.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I hear that. It's not every time, but there's just something about riding that bullet through the entire atmosphere to orbital strike the fuck outta a POI and jump out swingin'. I've had my share of Chargers and/or Titans waiting outside the door, but still: the looks on their faces before I'm wet paste? Worth it.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

I mean, 20 respawns, 4 players...

In a 30 minute match you're getting a single free supply pack every five minutes. Max benefit averages over the team if you use all respawns.

There's better options.

It's almost always better to take something consistent than something that only helps after a certain thing happens.

Run out of grenades

die

spawn with grenades

๐Ÿ‘

[-] 7355608@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

Just like in the Magic the Gathering health is a resource, in Helldivers lives are a resource and I like to spend that resource.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 11 points 7 months ago

I use the same logic when I throw my friend's reinforcement on top of the bile titans.

[-] Mokopa@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

So long as you get it close enough they can hit it, all good... Not much worse than dropping in beside a bile titan.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago

Gotta get that Hellpod Power Steering module. It makes it feel like you can hit anything you want!

[-] Mokopa@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

It's the next upgrade I'm getting, I'm just 30 common samples shy.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

Nice! It is surprisingly fun. I saved it to the very last thinking it would be a small difference, but that is not the case.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It's like going from steering by leaning to actually having a stick. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

[-] Marafon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Doom drop for Liberty!

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, others' first.

[-] Nommer@sh.itjust.works 15 points 7 months ago

I find it's worth taking. There aren't a lot of good boosters out there. So if the stamina and health ones are covered I'll take this one. Missing out on 2 stims and 2 nades kind of hurts. And if you drop in hot or get reinforced in the middle of a firefight having those extra 2 stims can be enough to get out without dying again. Especially with random because most of the time that resupply will be on CD because some chuckfuck decided to go solo and call in resupplies who knows where.

[-] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

Stop shooting the Erupter near me then, I was fine before you decided to "help."

[-] Winged_Hussar@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

I'm sorry I decided to take that, the grenade pistol, and the Auto cannon and have permanently rag-dolled you... But I like explosions!

[-] Zoot@reddthat.com 3 points 7 months ago

Well atleast its not the Arc thrower, Blitzer, laser pistol and tesla towers.

[-] Wyrryel@pawb.social 10 points 7 months ago

I just die so much that I don't need the extra ammo and syringes

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

It's like that Jedi bell curve graph and you're on the left side .

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 months ago

Real Helldivers pros use Increased Reinforcement Budget.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Technically, real Helldivers bought Superior Packing Methodology and don't bring up the fact that it's inoperable so as not to piss off the Democracy Officer. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ˜…
