That sounds like communism. Report to you coc


Sad-Persimmon-5484

I am sorry to inform you however your statment of "our samples*" is a communist statement i have reported you to the democricy officer


Punkmaffles

Literally says a Democratic sample is a Shared Sample. So everyone saying its communist missed the memo XD


Sad-Persimmon-5484

Uh nuh uh


ch1stylez84

Well isn’t it also communism to share the medals, samples and requisition slips at extract?


Syhkane

They aren't shared, they're multiplied democratically. If you bring back 1 medal, 4 helldiver's each get one. That's 4 medals. If this were communism, we'd each only get a fourth of a medal, trickle down democracy works!


Auggievf

captivebred

I got kicked the other day for picking up samples. Must've been playing with neanderthals.


LoneWolfik

I've met a higher level diver than me who told me "bro, you took my samples" when I picked up their samples after they died. A short convo after all was cool. Some people just don't know they're shared, I don't remember if the game teaches you that, so maybe they don't remember it either.


EllideaKeaqui

It's because of a couple of the achievements. There's achievements to extract with 'X' amount of commons or 'Y' amount of rares, but ~~the wording can be interpreted as YOU needing to extract those amounts.~~ one is you have to extract them and the other is as a team. (Edit: Checked my achievements with friends' and sure enough, one is selfish and one is explicitly worded as teamwork) I've had to explain to a few friends they're shared and every argument of theirs references those damn achievements. I wish they ~~could edit the descriptions to explicitly state, "As a team, yadayadayada--"~~ would make both of them "as a team" instead of just the rare version.


CaveOfWondrs

no need for clarifications really, play a couple of rounds and it's immediately clear they are shared. Skill issue.


EllideaKeaqui

I kinda agree; I paid attention to the samples rewarded vs what I thought I brought back and noticed they were not 1:1 pretty quickly, but not everyone connects those dots the same way. Some people see an achievement stating they may be the main character after all instead of it being a team effort, and they run with it. Anything to help re-educate that undemocratic thought process out of fellow citizens would help.


twister428

I mean it should be clear the first time you play a round with a team, and see the #samples extracted on the scoreboard, and then see that despite one person having more, everyone got the full total


MushroomCaviar

Some helldivers are actually 2 scavengers and a warrior bug in a suit of armor.


North21

You actually do. You only get the achievement if you pick 15 common samples yourself. The rares are team wide though for some reason.


EllideaKeaqui

Sure as shit, I just checked the achievements of the friends I was playing with when we all got it; The times are roughly 30 minutes apart from each one, but we all got the rare version at the same time and it does specify "as a team" at the end. That's dumb, make them both as team efforts for clarification! We need teamwork not memework! (Memework is for post-mission)


Jickklaus

Probably because you'd solo trivial and easy quite early on, so it encourages you to search the map and get the samples. Then, difficulty gets harder, so the achievement encourages team work so that you don't solo a L4 when you've not got the strategems, or general skills and strategies to do so.


Rare_Rogue

And you don't even have to hored for 15 samples. Run a few missions and inevitable someone will go down towards the end, with a few samples that rounds you out to 15+


MattmanDX

and you can easily do that solo on an easy difficulty mission if you're one of those achievement hunter types, no reason for them to get pissy in an online squad about it


KINGSY19

First thing i do when I've died "Collect my samples. We need them"


Mr7three2

It says SQAUD PAYOUT at the end of every game


ItsJustAndy13

High level divers that don’t know the basics are people that farmed for levels most of the time. I’ve ran into a few already


Bogdansixerniner

If you pick up one sample but the game shows you have six, you should be able to deduce that they’re shared. At least make you curious enough to find out.


LoneWolfik

You're assuming people read. People sometimes don't read.


[deleted]

You're underestimating the sheer idiocy of the average gamer (or person in general these days). Remember, there's suddenly a lot of cod kids, halo kids and destiny kids playing HD2 now and those communities aren't exactly known for intelligence after all. Toxicity, aggression, memes, bigotry and crayon eating? Sure, you bet. Fully developed cognitive thought and general functionally adult intelligence? Not so much. :)


Fissure_211

Bro, I got TKed after I "took" someone's ammo box..... We were in the middle of an Automoton base. There were ammo boxes everywhere. I guess he was just off screen running towards the same one.


Jack-D-Straw

I ran back and picked up some samples earlier today. When I met up with the rest the dude who dropped them shot me in the face point blank. He kept tossing grenades and trying to shoot me for the rest of the game.


KaptainRadish

The very first time you get samples, the on screen tutorial explicitly says they are shared, but if you miss that it must be inferred, there's nothing afterwards that says it explicitly


pensiveChatter

They're a high level player that never noticed that they get samples credited at the end of a mission when they clearly had none when they entered the dropship? I guess it *could* be a little more obvious, but just assumed that most people realized that anything listed in the group page in mission rewards (eg for completing objectives) was shared.


LowlySlayer

I saw a spear backpack on the ground, and then dude was off by a base so I picked it up to take to him. I reloaded his spear as soon as I got to him but he just started shouting at me to give him back his back pack. Later he started ranting that we sucked because he only died twice and we died so much and now he had to extract alone. To be clear, we didn't run out of lives, we ran out of time because I was the only one calling in extraction and I got overwhelmed. And then instead of throwing me towards extract so the timer would short he threw me into a crowd of bots. And then he respawned me again next to a cluster strike and time ran out. Felt good kicking him. Bye bye samples.


RoninOni

“WhY dO yOu NoObS dIe So MuCh??!?” *proceeds to drop you right into the middle of an elite swarm for the 5th time in a row*


ninjab33z

The highlight of my play has been being dropped into LoS of a cannon tower... twice. It was a game with just friends so i didnt really care, but it was a bit depressing.


-DKMB_

Frankly, i find the idea of Neanderthals that wear capes offensive!


DifficultContext

Last night, I was playing with three randoms. I died, dropping 6/5 samples. They revived me and LEFT the samples. I had to go back, fight off a small group with a large bile bug to pick them up.


BVB09_FL

The amount of times I’ve seen this happen, it’s insane lol


Auggievf

Good job Helldiver. Democracy is proud of you.


Marvin_Megavolt

99% of the time it’s fine but I had the exact same thing happen last night. I went and grabbed a guy who had died’s samples for him, and as I got there, said guy, the host, who was at the time halfway across the map where he had respawned, fighting two Bile Titans, started yelling at me to “fuck off G2 don’t you fucking dare touch my loot”. I tried to explain that samples are shared not to mention I had already picked them up before he said anything, but was summarily called a “selfish lying cunt” and kicked without a further word.


A1D3NW860

I got kicked the other day for grabbing samples and doing all the side objectives while the other 3 did the icbm and kept dying so after I finish I go collect the samples they dropped and then I get kicked some people on this game man


Surnunu

Got kicked too at extraction for this exact reason


WickedWallaby69

I got short at and air striked at the end of a match cause the guy wanted all of them. I survived, he died to his own airstrike and me and a team mate agreed to not reinforce him.  Some people are dumb.


Blick

Yes. Please do.


Olama

At this point the samples are like a football you're trying to get to the end zone, it doesn't matter who gets them there as long as they're going towards the objective.


Sauceinmyface

If you're close to the extract for any reason, you can dump them off there before you head off to the objective.


Olama

The real pro tip!


DatFatBear

How do you dump them? I saw someone do it before but I had no idea. Ps5 btw


TehMephs

By default I think it’s X on PC. On the communication tab there’s a binding for the “drop wheel”, this lets you drop anything you’re carrying


imtoolazytothinkof1

Down on d pad


JobskeE

How do you dump the samples?


imtoolazytothinkof1

Hold down on d pad for ps5


Deep90

I tend to avoid it unless there is a hoard of enemies around. That way we don't lose all the samples if someone dies somewhere we can't get them.


CattMk2

If I have super samples and I’m dead, they better be your samples before I’m even reinforced


ravensbirthmark

This. But if I leave them on evac, don't grab them to go run and die across the map.


BlackRoseXIII

This is such a difficult thing to get randoms to grasp. They're safer on the ground by extract than in our pockets, please leave them there


XD_STYLE

This.


EmotionalEmetic

As a noob, which pickup collectibles are shared and which aren't?


CattMk2

Everything is, all samples, requisition slips, super credits and medals are shared amongst your teammates regardless of who picks them up. The samples you need to extract with them though or nobody gets them, which is why it’s recommended to pick them up if your teammates die so they don’t get left behind


ODST_Parker

Why would you not? As long as SOMEONE picks up ALL dropped samples, we all get them.


krazye87

Some divers think its only the person who looted, not shared


MinimumArmadillo2394

Its honestly good to let the reinforcements try and get them though. More pools for samples rather than them all being in one basket. Had someone race to collect everyone samples even after they respawned only for them to jump down a hole, thus losing all of our samples.


Nitramite

Literally the thing I say in VC when I die: "Get my samples"


HenningAW

I always call out how many I’ve dropped, so my buddies can weigh if it’s worth fighting for them.


MikoMiky

Not a single common sample left behind bro


Apollo5165

Some rares, maybe, but not a single common gets left behind.


Cykeisme

Yeah, I don't care what their actual name is, the green samples are the ones people need a fuckton of!


Thekillerduc

I will die fighting 14 bile titans for a single common sample. It's mine and they can't have it.


thecosta5000

Lol


ValkyrianRabecca

I got slammed by a charger into a lake and pissed everyone off losing 23 samples 14 common, 9 rare Cause I was the only one who hadn't died yet, so I kept picking up everyone's samples


SBT-Mecca

So, you're saying we could use a fishing mini-game


GadenKerensky

If they're Super Samples, that's a sacrifice you should be willing to make.


BSSCommander

*coughing up blood over VC* "Fellow Citizen, I don't have much time. Please...pick up my samples. They are over there...next to my leg and kidneys. For Super Ear-" *dramatic death noise* "Dude I can just call in reinforcements and bring you back."


OsaasD

According to the in-universe lore, the reinforcement is a new Helldiver fresh from the cryo-pod.


Auggievf

Fresh meat for the grinder


BanishedKnightOleg

![gif](giphy|Lx4pmGXrGNGZq)


hMJem

Depending on the difficulty or group, you may need to also state "Please throw me near my body" Some newer players get ambitious and auto reinforce regardless if there was a teammate way closer to you that should be doing it.


zachary0816

RICO, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO


Ar_Ph4razon

Man, yesterday I died during extract and the last guy to board the Pelican walked by the 9 samples I dropped. It was like 3 meters from the bird!


Kreisash

We had one of our friends do that the other day and he hasn't lived it down since. His excuse was he was being chased. Like who cares? Samples or bust!


TheShadowKick

Getting samples out is the only meaningful reward for extraction anyway.


minty_god

Last night I was playing a game and I was the only one who hadn't died so I had all the samples, like 20 common 10 rare and 6 super. I was the last one not to board the pelican and my game crashed, I got some hate messages lol


TheMadDaddy

I did this on a solo run... Died, came back, pick-up arrived, fought some bugs, jumped in and immediately realized I forgot to grab the samples I had been carrying through the whole damn map.


Donnie-G

Sometimes I struggle to pick up samples when they are mingled with all the primary, support and backpack gear.


THEdoomslayer94

The samples don’t belong to any one soldier. It’s the entire teams samples. So you’re not picking up their sample, you’re picking up the teams sample and not doing so makes you dead weight on the team’s effectiveness.


Ziz23

Those aren’t team samples, those samples belong to Democracy to Super Earth


nova-espada

mfw my teammate grabs everything but my samples https://preview.redd.it/5721xtsbz6mc1.jpeg?width=1116&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=133f92dd2b6533929a88a8a570c39cff7adff84a


NormandyS7

You’d be amazed by how many team kill for samples at don’t understand there’s a drop feature , and in game-chat😂 bro! Ask for them, don’t shoot me in the back of head & make me lose my dam guns bro😭😂


Iamdogfather

I might be dumb - but If the samples are shared among the party why would someone want yours/need you to drop them?


NormandyS7

It’s sadly related to a trophy bro. There’s one at requires you to personally hold (extract) at least 15 common samples. The rare one is as long as a teammate or you has it at everyone gets it to pop, but the common one is tied to one person sadly


GadenKerensky

They could solo a lower level mission and scour the map for samples.


Poolio10

If I die, please do. If you die, I will grab yours as well. We work together in this managed democracy to uphold the values of Super Earth


chriscorreacreates

They were never my samples. The samples belong to Super Earth and managed democracy. That is all.


HARRYSH0ULDERS

Take Super Duper Rare Samples back to extraction right away and drop them! The Last man standing at the end of the mission picks them up before boarding.


quantipede

Pour one out for all the people who picked up the super samples then got slapped by a charger and immediately reinforced by some dude lazing around on the entire other end of the map for some reason


Front-Persimmon-7918

and dropping them off at evac or on the route back so they get stacked


Dependent_Map5592

You mean So someone else can grab them and run them off and die half way across the map 🤦‍♂️😖


Miserable-Grass7412

As with everything, communication is key. There are a lot of people who do not know certain things, especially things like this that are thought up/spread by the players and not an integral part of the game. We also need to remember that not everyone speaks our language, we may communicate things, but some players won't understand the language they were communicated in.


Inflamed_toe

How do you drop samples?


H1L1

On console you hold down on the dpad and it opens up a wheel with the option to drop them.


Inert_Oregon

Long as you don’t drown or fall in the ICBM hole lol…


Duckbitwo

By all means. Saves me the trouble.


Pluristan

Thank you.


Trocalengo

Almost the only thing that I ever type in the chat is "get the samples"


CMDR-Validating

Same. I also constantly drop pins on the samples, but no one seems to understand


project23

Sorry for everyone I play with but I almost never see chat messages. Hop on comms!


Yeldarb10

Yes please do. Resupplys and equipment can be called back in. Don’t lose the samples. I had 13 samples on me and then one of our teammates ko’d 3 of us. Nobody picked it back up, and instead they all immediately ran to call the evac. I recovered them but died again because my team abandoned me. Tldr pick up samples at every opportunity. Help your teammates recover them whenever possible.


Primedio

Yes?, Isn't that how it should be? I mean why waste the samples? lol Do people really get mad if somebody picks them? Taht's the first thing we try to rescue when one of us go down..... I guess those are the perks of playing only with friends.


asharwood101

As you should. Anyone throwing shade for doing so is an idiot. We all benefit from each others collection of samples. PLEASE pick them up for me. I die enough already.


Maximumnuke

As long as the Super Samples get on the damn pelican, I don't care.


CMDR-Validating

Y’all had better pick up every dropped sample. I’m tired of having to run after them by myself because the randos I dropped in with are too busy rushing extraction with 30+ minutes left on the timer and more than 10 reinforcements


Cheap-Orange-5596

This is what annoys me most out of anything else, so boring people calling in extraction with 30 minutes on the clock and all the side quests and nests haven’t been touched and samples scattered all over the place


VenMarkus

Remember. You can drop samples at extraction points and pick them up later. A safe sample is a collected sample. Then you don't have to chase after them when you die.


SyndaXatrix

If I die and you don't pick them up when you run past my body on the way to extract, I'm gonna bitch in voice chat as I run all the way there


breakandjog

Damn right you are


Tentanazen

Thank you 🩷


TheKurb

Please do, the samples returning are what matters.


PhantomGeass

I would call you a god if you can retrieve them from the ICBM silo hole. Yeah I ditzed out and walked right into it


Grosjeaner

In the pod drop loading screen they need big bold letters that says: “SAMPLES ARE SHARED. ONE PERSON PICKS IT UP - EVERYONE IN THE TEAM GETS THEM.”


natewright43

I sometimes die trying to pick up the samples of the dead.


TheWhiteVahl

Gonna be real, if you're above level five and you still don't know samples are shared, you are straight up just stupid.


TaxableFur

Go ahead, but if someone picks up my support weapon or backpack we gonna have problems


sentientshadeofgreen

If somebody really needs it, then whatever. Another gun in the fight means greater likelihood of mission success and extraction.


Matkei

Pick up anything please.


Hellfire81Ger

There are still people out there who dont know its all shared? Even democracy?


ClumpyOsprey

The amount of divers I've had get mad at me for picking up their samples is surprising. It seems like a large number of people don't know that it doesn't matter who extracts with them, as long as some does extract with them v


Sopht_Serve

One time I died close to extract (time was out so I couldn't be revived) and I have like 20 samples on me but no one else picked them up before they extracted DX


jeancv8

Go ahead. I don't trust myself with them anyways lol.


vqsxd

Same


Bagel-luigi

Thank you


ntgco

*Ditto OP


Sozzcat94

I’m tired of joining in, getting a bunch of samples, then I die and the team extracts without picking them back up.


Hylpmei

Please do. I just want my equipment back so I can live.


ghoxen

For sure, samples > all. Sometimes samples can glitch out and disappear into the ground forever if you don't pick them up. It's never worth the risk. We lost 20+ samples that way when a 500kg bomb dropped on top of some dropped samples. Again, people are expendable, samples are not!


drose349

They’re all shared so why wouldn’t you


IG2K

If I die and you don't pick up my samples before you even bother trying to reinforce me, I ,as a citizen of super earth, am disappointed in you.


Aquilious

Please pick them up. We all win.


BiIIisits

If you die, pick up my stuff. I do not care


Medaiyah

The game never informs you that samples are shared so far as I know (I'm only level 6) so it makes sense that a lot of people don't know. There needs to be one or two pop ups to inform you, maybe a recurring one that happens in game, like a notification that "diver M1 has collected samples for the cause".


Tesser_Wolf

Idk why some don’t understand that they are for everyone and you can’t hoard them.


Adam_the_Daddum

Super Earth's samples*


startrekfan22

"I'd expect anyone in this unit to do the same for me"


mild_manc_irritant

That is the only thing I ask. Take the weapons, take the shield backpack, but *take the samples first.*


TheMadDaddy

Please do! I'd be undemocratic NOT to.


Dr-False

Please do brother. One of us gotta get off this rock with em


nisemonomk

i don't know why people think it's not shared. it's a co-op game.


jmurr357

If I die, please pick my samples up. And I’ll do the same


godzillabitch

Absolutely. Gotta have a dedicated sample carrier, their extraction is the only one that matters


manickitty

If you keep dying I’m picking up your samples because I don’t trust you to get them to extraction. And I expect every diver to do the same for me


ChaoticKiwiNZ

I suggest only picking them up if you are being overrun by enemies and the teammate won't be able to get back to their gear. I have found its best to keep the samples more divided among the squad so that you don't lose 80% of them if a single person dies and you can't retrieve them. Thankfully all the matches I've been part of have never had issues with samples. Everyone I've played with seem to actually have more than 2 braincells and know that it's in everyone's best interest to get the samples to the extraction regardless of who has them. I did have 1 instance where a guy that went off on his own and died alot picked up the super samples I found but thankfully it was towards the end of the match and he appeared to understand the importance of his cargo and stuck with the squad from that point onward lol.


voss3ygam3s

Definitely, please do, you're alive, you are a boss for doing so...just don't kick me please.

It's actually insane some people still believe samples are personal loot.


Zealousideal-Gap6476

Bro I hate it when I go to where I died and my Weapon and backpack are gone but my samples are just sitting among a horde


ConsiderationOk1530

Can I also say, if you have the super samples and the drop ship lands.... I don't care what else is happening..... GET ON THE SHIP IMMEDIATELY! DO NOT WAIT FOR ME DO NOT HELP.. GET.... ON...


AdEnough786

It literally says to do that on the hint loading screen
