It's pretty quick wdym
I just hate when it gets interrupted, but the sound still plays, so you're unsure if it actually worked

[Firecam]

It's fairly instant, the 2sec delay is most likely due to lag or server issue.

Very rarely it even consumes a stim charge but doesnt heal you.
Have only noticed this once or twice and always while being pounded by hunters. :D

The issue isn't the animation itself, the issue is the game lying to you when it plays the stim sound... and it didn't actually start to heal you.

So you solve that lack of polish by mashing the button, not skill.

Now watch somebody cry that mocking the fact you can be interrupted stepping on a small rock in an out of combat situation with no enemies attacking you means "You just want a power fantasy"

Some kids just don't know what a challenge is anymore I guess, if putting up with inconvenience gets them so proud of themselves.

I mean yeah, it doesn't consume it, but it may cost you your life if you rely on sound ques too much

Could you bring that zest to the Devs the next time they have bad internet with their servers? Or are you going to back down and hide when calling out bad internet counts the most.

No.. thats what i mean. It DID consume it. I heard the sound my counter went from 3 to 2 and i thought i was set only to realize shortly after that my health wasnt improving.

Its rare tho. The last time it happened was yesterday but thats also when the game had massive server issues so it might be related.

I gotta spam the keybuttons to make sure it goes through, that's my only complaint

[BaconX]

Sounds like a you problem, it's plenty quick enough.

my main issue is there are so many times where my character is locked out from doing any action but is seemingly fine, meaning it looks like im just running around doing nothing but my inputs dont do anything, obviously my character is staggered in some way but there is little to no indication for it

and yeah, although pretty rare i notice that my stims will get consumed even though the action never actually happened, i even once threw a mag out but was left with a few bullets telling me i didnt actually throw a mag but i was -1

Dive and make sure to keep pressing that stim button. The corners in your screen with become brighter on a white blue color. (You won't consume more than 1 since when in stim effect or full health, you can't use stims because Helldivers are programmed to not be addicted to it).

Sometimes you see the animation and sound, but it didn't go trough! Same happens for supply pack... other than that, you can get staggered and it will interrupt it.

Sometimes it helps to use them early, so that if you know you're about to take a lot of dmg (maybe), it's already activated and ready :3

Better just spam stims, you get more when you respawn anyway (if you die) so no point in saving them too much, not to just throw them away, but lots of people die while still having stims they could use.

I don't mind the speed but it annoys the ♥♥♥♥ out of me when I hear the sound of the stim completing but somehow being hit knocks you out of it at such a late stage.

Then the only thing the devs could do is to fix either the animation or the sound input.
