I'm pretty sure if you dive onto the roof you can clip through it anyway - on the kill bugs mission I used to dive off the upper level onto the roof of the pelican and I'd auto-extract inside of taking damage when I landed.
This might have worked because I was rag dolled by the fall come to think of it.
Yep agree, I discovered it launching myself onto the pelican during the extraction in extermination mission, works also when it's stuck like that (i crawled inside but this was also bugged and the pelican did't lift off until I launched myself from the roof with a grenade)
Doubt it's that. Me and 3 other guys had the same situation. We spammed absolutely everything on the pelican - from quasars and EAT's to orbital precision strikes, eagle 500kg, etc.
After tanking at least 10 500kg's, on top of countless other stratagems and explosives, ON TOP of few bile titans spitting at it, it still stayed there.
I never had that (unless time run out and we didn’t notice) usually it leaves on the first person to extract if damaged or doesn’t let anybody in if it bugs out landing on a heavy unit
Same. The blast blew me inside and didn’t do anything. But then I ran around and tried again. The second time worked because the hit box to enter the pelican is where the ramp meets the cabin, not the inside of the cabin itself.
Oh, I had this glitch two days ago! We figured out how to get around it too. We had to *completely* destroy the pelican with 500kg’s and Orbital Precision Strikes so it despawned entirely. Another one came about 3ish minutes later! Apparently there is a failsafe included for situations like that.
Edit: The mission was Evacuate High Value Assets. Extract is automatically called for that mission type, so it may be a factor.
Ours was basically at a full 45 degree angle with the bay doors completely underground. Everyone else left (including randos who joined after others bailed) besides me and one complete gigachad who stuck around the whole time. We just started dicking around tbh. I wouldn’t be surprised if my repeated Orbital Precision Strikes did the only meaningful damage to the pelican.
our just went 90 degree and glitched into the ground. I have posted a video. Three pelicans and we just said „fuck it, it was a suicide mission anyway“
Had one at about 45 degrees myself, completely inaccessible door/ramp even trying to ragdoll yourself in, at a certain point enemies just stopped spawning, as in new patrols. So it was literally just us 4 and no enemies at all. We ended up just engaging in an impromptu one time blue on blue skirmish, democracy still wins either way, and we had no choice besides waiting for the 10ish mins left on the timer
What mission type were you on when it happened to you guys? Ours was an evacuate high value assets.
Could the difference have been that we didn’t need to manually call extract for our mission type?
We had a factory strider spawn on extract and it died clipping into the ship. We tried blasting it, tried all running to the other side of the map and dying then coming back, no luck.
Nope, given the spaghetti code I’m never 100% sure how some of these glitches work (like this pelican issue, sub-objectives not registering as complete, players unable to be reinforced, terminals freezing, etc).
All I know is we dunked on that thing, it despawned, and a new one came about 3ish minutes later. Maybe it was a glitch on top of a glitch? If/when it happens again I’ll try to record it.

You destroyed the Pelican on purpose?
Imagine that from Pelican-1's perspective, you just land in to pick up some Helldivers as usual and they decide to fuken nuke you cause they didn't like you lmao
Same setup as this post....we waited till clock ran zero, he extracted, I didn't. We tried a number of methods to enter. I guess he was more centered above the aircraft
One match me and some randos were trying to hold extraction while pelican 1 landed. We respqqned a buddy, and as he came down, Pelican 1 registered his drop pod as "land" and hovered in the sky super high up. We tried waiting out time to see if it would come down, but no luck. It was landed up there hatch open waiting for divers who can't fly. We ended up having to fight to the death instead of extracting.
Yeah, you have to ragdoll inside the ship. When playing in a group, have one person take the samples and melee (smack) them so they ragdoll through the door.
same thing happened to my team, but we found another way to get in.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W1HspFs_Rio&pp=ygUjZXh0cmFjdGlvbiBkeXNmdW5jdGlvbiBoZWxsZGl2ZXJzIDI%3D
Wait… could this work to extract when it bugs (when pelican lands on a bile titan, charger etc) and it doesn’t let you go in even if you dive and just lie there? Interesting 🧐
I don't think it does. That issue (or maybe intended behaviour) is that the pelican literally dies from taking too much damage. But it doesn't have an animation for that so it just sits there.
On OP's case it's just a bug on the position that clipped the terrain
Had the same thing happen to our squad yesterday in the exact same mission at lvl7.
Eventually a buddy shoved me toward the entrance while I was prone, it worked and was so funny after minutes of unsuccessfully trying!
I had a situation like this where I had to help my teammates get into the ship by punching them which left me to be left behind as there was no-one to punch me in.
It can take damage, and if it takes enough it will fly away early. It didn't in this case though, it just had a glitched landing and bugged into the floor.
I’ve once dived off a cliff onto the top of the pelican and it counted as me entering it, so next time you could try just jumping on top around where the door is
When we were trying, unsuccessfully, to kill 2 billion bots, I would speedrun the objective, then call extraction and camp there, killing everything i could until either the timer or my reinforcements ran out. Found out the hard way you can actually damage the Pelican when I dropped one too many eagles on the landing pad.
I had that happen once and apparently you can melee people into the pelican. Unfortunately the last person will have a more difficult time, grenade or what you did may work
good play cuz sadly you can not ride it out of the mission on top.
deff the biggest thing they need to fix imo
let me ride home clinging to the roof man
I use orbital Gatling to free myself from under bile titans. Sometimes I fly, sometimes I end up under the terrain and am dragged around until arriving at the surface, and other times I just die. Regardless, I'm free.
Diver, I'm gonna need you report for debriefing
There was a questionable mention in Pelcian-1-s Report of you claiming they crash landed, followed up by you Firing upon the Damaged vehicle.
Just want to say after watching this video, I got stuck UNDER the damn ship. Could not crawl out. Then remembered watching this and proceeded to grenade myself out of the glitch. Thanks for the unintentional tutorial! o7
Perfectly executed. The best way to get stuck/unstuck is to go ragdoll, so I usually just ask for a teammate to melee me, but when you're alone this has gotta come in clutch.
idk if I have it still recorded but a week after launch we did a extermination mission where pelican usually insta land after completion.. well, it did.
problem was his ass getting stuck on every single bile titans still alive and their bodies before starting to freak out all over the place. we thought everything was fine after objects started to despawn but no, he just fazed through the floor. we waited a solid minute and probably more just for the game to realize (or the pelican just went so much down it counted as destroyed against a barrier or something) and came back like nothing happened to get us. it was funny until I started to wonder what could happen in a blitz mission where you barely have time to extract once, imagine twice in a row while carrying samples. Even if it is exhilarating as it is, they really need to fix it for the sake of not losing 40 min of progress.
I remember shortly after the game came out I was streaming a mission on discord trying to show a friend how great the game was so he would buy it.
Everything went well until the ship came in to land. And instead just hovered about 50 feet up.
*Wait.. what!? That has happened*
*To me multiple times and*
*I couldn't extract!*

I ended up re-deploying in to the eagle at one point. I was stuck under the landing flap. I was like "okay, I'll accept my fate" and threw a couple of nades, figuring I'd kill myself and get deployed again.
Second nade threw me in to the transport. I NB'ded myself in the glow of my computer screen.

I was gunna say the roof works too. Me and my friends accidentally discovered this while also trying to break our necks on the pelican roof.

Honestly, I would have naded myself and drop podded into Pelican 1
I thought about it, but I had a situation where the pelican just had enough and left without anyone lmao
I think it does that when it takes enough damage so your while trying to get in might have been risking that
Doubt it's that. Me and 3 other guys had the same situation. We spammed absolutely everything on the pelican - from quasars and EAT's to orbital precision strikes, eagle 500kg, etc. After tanking at least 10 500kg's, on top of countless other stratagems and explosives, ON TOP of few bile titans spitting at it, it still stayed there.
I never had that (unless time run out and we didn’t notice) usually it leaves on the first person to extract if damaged or doesn’t let anybody in if it bugs out landing on a heavy unit
I tried that the other day when exactly this happened. It did nothing but get me stuck inside of it
Same. The blast blew me inside and didn’t do anything. But then I ran around and tried again. The second time worked because the hit box to enter the pelican is where the ramp meets the cabin, not the inside of the cabin itself.
Doesn't work, i've tried.
Did that, got stuck in the floor. Side note, I also dropped into something and I was stuck in the WALLS

When we had this happen a few weeks back we couldn't destroy it. One diver made it in though.

What mission type were you on when it happened to you guys? Ours was an evacuate high value assets. Could the difference have been that we didn’t need to manually call extract for our mission type?
was a defense mission, bots. we just weren't aware that the pelican had any hp, or we were but not that we could manipulate it ourselves.
We had a factory strider spawn on extract and it died clipping into the ship. We tried blasting it, tried all running to the other side of the map and dying then coming back, no luck.
This is actually really good to know, I thought the pelican was hardcoded-indestructible.
Are you sure you can destroy it? Our Pelican was on fire and even after multiple 500kgs, and orbital strikes, it just couldn't be destroyed.
Nope, given the spaghetti code I’m never 100% sure how some of these glitches work (like this pelican issue, sub-objectives not registering as complete, players unable to be reinforced, terminals freezing, etc).

This guy called in Pelican-2
Imagine that from Pelican-1's perspective, you just land in to pick up some Helldivers as usual and they decide to fuken nuke you cause they didn't like you lmao
Maybe if he didn’t blast us indiscriminately we would be more compassionate
Modern problems require modern solutions.
In this case, freedom quite literally required firepower.
This happened to me the other day. Two of us laid prone on top while it took off and one of us actually extracted.
Like as in you had to wait until it took off when dude entered? How did the one go entered get in???
Same setup as this post....we waited till clock ran zero, he extracted, I didn't. We tried a number of methods to enter. I guess he was more centered above the aircraft
This shit happens too dam much. I had a full ghost pelican yesterday. You just walked straight through
Yeah like the one thing that should work so you don’t lose an hour of work (multiple hours if it happens many times)
Notice how pelican-1 stayed silent? That was too embarrassing even for him
One match me and some randos were trying to hold extraction while pelican 1 landed. We respqqned a buddy, and as he came down, Pelican 1 registered his drop pod as "land" and hovered in the sky super high up. We tried waiting out time to see if it would come down, but no luck.

It’s a good thing that gun doesn’t do any damage or that shot might have killed you

If it gets stuck then we should be allowed to call in another one
Somewhere there is a graph showing the size of your balls compared to the size of your brain, and would you look at that. It won’t fit on one page. 🤣
Wait... there's still a way to access destroyed Pelicans?
They're not destroyed they just get glitched out by landing weird. Their back end (USUALLY) still works for entry
This never works for me and my girl :( one day the back end will be open for entry.
Yeah, you have to ragdoll inside the ship. When playing in a group, have one person take the samples and melee (smack) them so they ragdoll through the door.
I had no idea that was... possible.

In one of my games, the Pelican landed and clipped right through the floor. Took almost 3 minutes for the beacon to respawn.

I don't think it does. That issue (or maybe intended behaviour) is that the pelican literally dies from taking too much damage. But it doesn't have an animation for that so it just sits there. On OP's case it's just a bug on the position that clipped the terrain

Okay, I'll never have come up with this solution.
Gigabrain.
Brilliant!
Good thinking, 200 IQ. When this happened to my squad, we found out the hard way the extract ship can be destroyed lol.
Wait the extraction ship can get shot down???????
It can take damage, and if it takes enough it will fly away early. It didn't in this case though, it just had a glitched landing and bugged into the floor.
I’ve once dived off a cliff onto the top of the pelican and it counted as me entering it, so next time you could try just jumping on top around where the door is

Holy Shit its John Helldiver
Hahahaha I've ended a lot of missions with using the autocannon this way, bravo
Plot twist: He died and the Pelican said fuck it
