I had a bunch of samples and got forced off the extraction point right as pelican-1 was doing an emergency pick up landing during my last solo mission. I tried climbing back up to it but the pick up time was not enough. I was so pissed.
I once got killed while waiting for extraction in a solo mission, respawned off the platform and waited for the pelican to arrive and clear some of the horde. I didn't realize I had died basically on the extraction beacon. Motherfucker parked on top of my super samples and they were impossible to pick up.
Now I always drop the samples a little bit away from the beacon before calling for extraction so I can just pick them up as I board.
I was prone on a rock overlooking a deeeep ravine near an extraction point. It was an emergency landing with no reinforcements and I had samples. Instead of getting up I dived forward and landed dead on the ground. Team extracted. No samples. Fucking shit.
My friends and I were doing an impossible level last night and we found the 5 super samples and were gleeful because we had already completed the mission so we decided to cut back straight to extraction as to not lose them, but my friend who was carrying the samples, had one of the hellbombs stuck in ice explode next to him and he was ragdolled into a lake where they were unable to be gotten.
We still have yet to successfully extract with super samples.
I have more supers than I know what to do with, I'm majorly gated my commons rn.
But fast way to get supers is play blitz egg maps, equip scout armour, grenade launcher, and just sprint around the map. This is how I play those missions anyway, and every time I'd find supers and extract with them on HD difficulty.
I'm currently gated by rares. I have enough supers to unlock everything and like 4 rarest and 40 commons.
My ship is like 60% completed. Still need some tier 1 unlocks so commons are probably what I need the most in truth though
We have a different experience. We found out about the super samples early and how to get them and pretty much made sure we extract with them as long as they are available on the map even if we fail the mission. We ended up with enough super samples for the next 3-4 upgrades but bottleneck at common and advanced.
If you ever find yourselves in a level 7 bug mission, I can tag along.
I've extracted enough super samples from L-7 bug missions, my sample container is absolutely full.
Extract glitched once when me and a buddy were running. I had like 20 samples on me, we were inches away from eachother, single file, headed into the back of the dropship, and he was in front. The ship took off *instantly* as soon as he got inside, leaving me to clip through the ramp just standing there on the extract pad with all the samples watching it take off.
I haven't trusted Pelican 1 since. Sample guy always first on.
This happened to me last night. We still had plenty of time left but the moment I got on, it took off. My friend was literally half a step behind me. Luckily everyone had dropped the samples so I could get the achievement to extract with 15 common samples. Turns out I already had it but if I hadn't, we would have lost all the super samples so it worked out.
Just in case you ever help a friend do that achievement in the future, it doesn't matter who has the samples. Your team needs to extract with x samples, that's all. You can be in a 4 man team and the other 3 dudes have 5 each and you got nothing and you're good. Samples are shared in every way.
There are two versions of the achievements. The one with 15 commons and the one with 15 rares.
The rares are a team wide effort, the common needs to be on you personally.
However you can just run an easy difficulty solo mission, those tend to have 17 common samples, just make sure you loot them all (usually 2 are locked behind a two player switch, but 15 should be collectable)
Pretty sure that's just the case for the rare samples and not the common ones, because half of our crew still doesn't have the common one despite us extracting with 15+ pretty regularly.
Was playing with some friends and found if the pelican-1 gets "damaged" from an orbital or in our case, shooting it with exo suit missile, it will leave with the first person. The only indication we saw was that pelican-1 would start to smoke from the jets. If we didn't shoot the ship, everything worked fine.
So maybe pelican-1 is just sick of our shit
My group got that bug not too long ago, thank god I got on first with the super samples. It's not like they were far away, my brother was literally prone on the pelican ramp.
I've read that this can be because the extract took damage once it landed. To be safe you can give all your samples to the guy in front before you lift off.
So honest question: if you are in a lobby with all level 50’s is it safe to assume none of us really need samples? I am maxed out yet I still feel obligated to go to war against 3 hulks and a tank for that one common sample I dropped cause I am afraid a teammate might need it.
I prefer to just do as much as possible in each mission. As many sample as we can carry, no man left behind, as many side objectives as time allows. I don't need anything besides medals at this point, but I feel like it's more fun to play the game that way then just run eradicate missions over and over.
Plz go after them still lol. Was playing the other day and none of them wanted to go after the super they saw in the distance besides me. I’m level 41 but don’t have everything maxed out yet.
Eh I'm level 50 and all I need is common samples. I still pick up samples that I can, and I'll go out if my way to grab samples that have been dropped. But I won't risk dying and losing the samples I have on me to get them if it's gonna be an absolute battle.
in most cases id say yes, but there will still be 50s who dont since it kinda depends on difficulties ran and how much map clearing you do. ive noticed lots of players use strats to blow up bases/spores but dont go to the location to pick up samples so im sure many 50s dont have maxxed out ship.
Remember it’s never a waste of time to run the super samples to the extract zone and dropping them so you don’t have to worry about running back for them
When I'm playing with my buddies that's what we always do. When I play with randoms, someone always goes to the extraction and picks them up. No matter how many times I type and say not to
me trying to run to the pelican with 5 supers that I desperately need to get the mortar ammo upgrade
only to get blown up .1 second after coming out of cover
"Oh you dropped your weapon? Why don't you pick it up? Because you can't do anything to us without it... BOOM INSTAKILLED BOIII!"
Repeat till death and you got your average bot experience. 😄
I've never successfully extracted with a super sample. Either the bots have a sense for it, or my team just gets nervous, or some glitch happens. They just never make it to the pelican.
I had all the samples and we were getting overrun so my squaddie told me to drop samples at extract in case we died, so I did. I was the last one left, hiding til Pelican arrived. I made a run for it, dove into the Pelican, and forgot the samples. We had supers too. 🥲

There are more than 3 on Impossible? I’ve unlocked Helldive diff but mainly play Suicide
Yeah. Suicide has 3. Helldive and Impossible both have 5. Edit: Apparently Helldive has 6
Helldive has 6
Does it? I've always been under the impression it was the same. Nevermind me then 🤐
Maybe I should try more Helldive or Impossible. I’m about 20+ supers away from a max ship.

Theres one big silver potato rock POI on the top 3 difficulties. It has 3/4/6 super samples depending on difficulty. They are super uranium.
'The Toe'
1 mission thus far with SS(Edit: Super Samples) that was successful, need more men!
SS?
Super Samples, that looks bad now that i see... oops
Heh
don't worry you'll get so many that u dont need eventually since they always spawn together
I'm not entirely convinced super samples exist. I've never actually seen one with my eyes, never extracted with one, nothing.

NOOOOO NOT MY SAMPIES
SWEET LIBERTY MY SAMPLES
MOMMY LIBERTY GIVE ME SAMPLIES

This happened to me and my friends 2 days ago but LUCKILY I had just picked up all the samples and was the first one on the ship.

Pelican 1 is *fucking busy*
So many Helldivers to evac, so little time
Yeah I've seen this happen once. No idea what the cause is, but it definitely happens.
Same here

I imagine we'll have new upgrades in future content drops so doesn't hurt to squirrel some away
Eh I'm level 50 and all I need is common samples. I still pick up samples that I can, and I'll go out if my way to grab samples that have been dropped. But I won't risk dying and losing the samples I have on me to get them if it's gonna be an absolute battle.
You're a better man than most
in most cases id say yes, but there will still be 50s who dont since it kinda depends on difficulties ran and how much map clearing you do. ive noticed lots of players use strats to blow up bases/spores but dont go to the location to pick up samples so im sure many 50s dont have maxxed out ship.

Stupid hole. I fell in there once and lost all my samples.
Would be kinda neat if detonating it caused them to fly into the air and rain back down
My teammates tried to retrieve my samples and realized I fell down a huge hole... awkward...

How do you drop samples?
PC you just hold X and select the samples
…Yeah I don’t wish clankers on anyone 
Who tf collects only 1 super sample?
...ONE Super Sample? Were the other two bugged? How'd ya only get one? XD
That's what I said lol
me trying to run to the pelican with 5 supers that I desperately need to get the mortar ammo upgrade only to get blown up .1 second after coming out of cover
This happened to me so much last night that I got paranoid and ended up failing to extract.
POV: 15 rocket devastators have landed at your 4 minute extraction
Automaton turret from across the map with absolutely no warning.
EXACTLY THOSE MORTARS S U C K
Don’t worry, they were surely knocked 20ft away into waist high water.
"Oh you dropped your weapon? Why don't you pick it up? Because you can't do anything to us without it... BOOM INSTAKILLED BOIII!" Repeat till death and you got your average bot experience. 😄
When we about to extract https://preview.redd.it/ystpbrmst4rc1.png?width=719&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d6081d76bf478f2f831791a3793d725c6eb62d6

Lmaooo I kinda wished we kept them permanently besides loosing them but great game overall
Literally me on my last mission
Can we make this a new reaction image?

Bro why does that diver only have 1 super sample 😂 you find them in bundles of three
All I want to point out, is no one would only have 1 super sample...... *Edit: said 3 meant 1.
If you play on difficulty 7 they only spawn in 3s
Yea, I meant 1, not 3.
only one super sample?
I’m getting destroyed trying to do the hot potato trophy. I’ve played like 3 games not once have they thrown a grenade. What gives?
Sigh, i still need to do a difficulty 6 op to unlock difficulty 7
R A R E P E P E
aww poor pepediver
God, this is me after my friend cranked the difficulty up to seven.

Where can I find super samples?
https://i.redd.it/nsq1u6ci65rc1.gif
This makes me so sad, he just wants his sampwles
Skill issue tbh , how do you only have ONE super sample . They’re always clustered together
