Way to disable SOS strategem

[Sitek]

When playing with friends i often use SOS instead of Revive strategem what summons random people to my "friends only" game. Is there a way to disable it for myself?

62 hours and you can't memorize the reinforce code over SOS?

I memorised reinforce code but mistakes happen. Would you like to join FRIENDS ONLY game of someone who did not want to invite you?

Asking community if there is option to disable something and seeing people be angry at you and telling "git gud" is not fun way to use forum. Instead of saying "Nah there is no option to disable it" better say that someone is bad at game... what a community.

Yeah I dunno man, if you have empty slots on your team and you accidentally call in someone, who knows? You might just happen to invite a really cool person by accident and make a friend, or, you might happen to get a brand new player who might appreciate a veteran taking them along for the ride :D

Being the holidays its pretty likely that many new players were gifted a Liberator for Christmas!

Until you get used to throwing your strats perfectly, think of each accidental random reenforcement as an OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE LIBERATION!!!

If the rando hops in and starts TKing or being rude, kick them.

Happy Holidays o7

I cannot believe there are so many people dogging on OP lol, I've got 447 hours on this damn game and still sometimes accidentally call it down instead of reinforcements, the codes are extremely similar, and I've memorised the reinforcement strat so I type it super fast, *sometimes* I miss a step!

HoooOOHHH MY GOD! CLEARLY I SUCK!

No, its called a *mistake* you miserable goofs.

Jesus christ, what a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ laughable community this has turned into.

a mistake is still a mistake. Still doesn't excuse you from accidentally putting it down.

I got almost 100 hours in the game but still haven't called it by accident so it's probably skill issue in your part.

Nope!
You can huff all that delicious copium all ya want big man! Fact is, you type things fast, sometimes you make a mistake!

I'm just not humouring that "skill issue" crap, and frankly, do not believe you for a singular second that you've not done it at least once or twice. You can go right through the window and miss me with that.

In fact, if you are *going* to just splurge words like they're prompts, copy pasting "skill issue" go right ahead and spare me the pretentiousness lol

(Its hilarious you want people to believe that if they can't *not* mess up a stratagem that has a similar code every so often, not frequently, just *sometimes,* that suddenly the consensus just drops to "Ah yes, clearly you just suck")

Does the setting "Matchmaking privacy: friends only" not work?

I'm with you on this. I've done it twice now. Really doesn't help that the sequences for it and Reinforcement are identical safe for one command.

And to the people saying "just don't call it" - you think I did it intentionally? In the heat of things when I'm the last one standing and I have to get the Reinforce stratagem out, I'm not gonna verify each input to make sure I do WSDAW instead of WSDW. If anything, the SOS command should be longer than Reinforce.

How do you put in the wrong code.

I'm amazed you people haven't called in hellbombs or artillery on your own judging by these comments.

The beacon overrides your privacy setting and lets anyone join.
Normaly that would be seen as a problem with the design of the program and having the codes be so similar would be a UI problem.
But gamers just go Hurr Durr sKiLl iSSuE

Look at all of you necroing in this thread. Take this improved SOS beacon ↑→↓↓↓

Once you throw an SOS beacon, it overrides any "private" or "invite only" options.

Yup, sadly there is no way to disable it for host. Drunk diving sometimes will spawn those SOS things around me.

People already said "No" and you've had approximately two people say "just put in the right code".

It's a little silly of you to go "this community bad" because you refused to accept the initial answer.

The community IS bad. ffs over 75% of the player base dropped the game because of a flamethrower bug fix but everyone took it as a nerf despite all the concerns being immediately debunked. They threw a massive fit about the "nerfs" and completely ignored every single buff as if they never happened, and act like the game isnt swamped by bugs/glitches.
I'm sorry but the majority of the helldivers 2 community are idiots. When you're in the top 3 difficulties and you're trying to call in a reinforce as fast as possible, accidents tend to happen. Not everyone puts them in slowly as they are staring at the inputs. Plenty of people have gotten used to doing the inputs fast without looking. The issue is its really easy to make a single input mistake and it turns into an SOS you cannot disable once its thrown. Its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying and there's nothing wrong with finding it annoying that there's no option to disable it if you have no intentions of using it. Let us retract the SOS, or just change the inputs. It shouldn't be identical to reinforce. Its bad ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ design and people need to stop defending this buggy and flawed ass game like its gods perfect gift to gamers after its had months to improve and it still hasn't.

The community is bad and toxic. "Get good" or "Stop having spastic hands" is never a good response to someone asking if there is a setting to disable SOS. And this is not an isolated case. Everywhere on Reddit and on Steam forums people are asking legitimate questions about the game and getting told "Just get good" or "You just need to stop sucking to counter X enemy". One of the most toxic communities i've seen in a recent videogame.

Okay, first... Why not just let an old thread die? It had been four days already. He has probably overcome his problem by now.

Second, the SOS is a completely different set of input. "How can you ... that up" is not an inconsiderate answer because... Well, you pretty much have to do it on purpose or spam all your keys hoping to hit the right sequence to mock that up. That's also actually part of the game skill set to memorise those stratagem so you can execute them faster or on the spot when you need them.

Third, as an added slap on the community face, you can actually hold the stratagem you just called in your hand before throwing it and it will tell you exactly what it is topish left of the screen and you can totally cancel it if you messed up or it is not the one you actually wanted. This is also how how you manage the scrambled campaign condition which make it so you don't always get the stratagem you called for. So for OP problem to arise he has to go thru two rather easily overcome conditions: 1) just do the right combination from the get go. If you can't do it fast enough just slow down. And 2) he probably just swing it on the spot the micro second he has it in his hands without an afterthought.

So as you can see this is pretty much a him problem. And asking it to be changed just because he can't personally put it with it is like asking to add an easy mode to the game. In other words, he's asking for a cheat.

And this is why this demand is met with so much hostility.

You are objectively wrong. Plenty of other people have had this problem. If the solution is to check your hand/top left of the screen before throwing it, thats idiotic. The game gets chaotic in the higher difficulties and people try to get the reinforce out as fast as possible without worry of accidentally calling in something else that has identical inputs. Its bad ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game design and people need to stop defending this game. Bringing back a teammate should not be one input different from permanently changing the lobby settings for the whole match. Accidents happen. Its why people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate laptops where escape is right next to a power key with an identical feel that nobody asked for.

♥♥♥♥ I must be an idiot then cause the weapon nerfs were absolutely cancer, and changing the way fire works ultimately making it worthless right as you add a fire based warbond is simply a poor decision lol

I play using a wide variety of weapons and hated how weak everything was, made the game feel boring cause I was forced into using a specific set of weapons, else suffer the entire game!
So I, and everyone else left to more fun games until stuff changed, and thank god they did cause the game is fun again, albeit still full of problems.

"Act like the game isn't swamped with bugs" What? Aside from people whining about the game being "toO EAsY" (the game *absolutely* has alot of problems with bugs, likely due to the fact the engine for this game is d e a d?)
bugs were a big talking point, typically shut down by the toxic positivity crowd.
Most buffs were "ignored" because the nerfs heavily outnumbered the buffs at the time.

Sorry, but you "The guns never needed to be buffed" / "The community is a bunch of whiners / stupid poo poo heads" crowd are wrong on those fronts. While there are those who absolutely were disrespectful rats, I can also recall every single "These weapons need to be buffed" thread / opinions being met with nothing but insults lol (IE Rec rifle / ATs) End of discussion.

However, on the topic of the SOS beacon, I *do* agree! Admittedly though I've gotten a bit better at it, but I've still managed to accidently call it in 2 out of every other time lmfao
