Bad Teammate Moments Anyone?

[Cloud Roller]

Anyone ever have one of those matches where you have a crap ton of samples and making your way to extract, encountering little to no resistance while the Pelican is coming in, only for your teammates to immediately get on the Pelican while you're not close enough to make it before the 20 seconds are up, despite no more bots approaching them?

Ya, had this one match where I, a level 79, had a crap ton of common (at least 20), rare (around 10-15) and all 3 Super samples (This was difficulty 7). I was checking one more place of interest that was about 100-150m away from extract. I was about to finish off the bots there and search for anything valuable, only for my teammates to immediately get on the Pelican, despite there being no bots, nor dropships, so I had to bolt for the ship, knowing I won't make it on time. Having my back turned, some rocket and shield Devastators killed me, dropping all my samples as the ship was seconds from leaving.

These players were between ranks 30-45 and I had never experienced such incompetence from fellow Helldivers, not just because of the extract, but throughout the whole mission. This includes moments like running head first into the enemy, not using Stratagems at the right time, effectively or at all when needed or just ignoring sample deposits. I question if they really finished the training simulations on Mars and why Super Earth deemed them worthy of the Helldiver title.

I get you.

I had one that threw a barrage at the extract because they presumably saw a large blip and thought we were struggling.

In the end the barrage landed, killing us all - including the host, who carried the samples. There was no reinforcements left and the pelican landed. The player that threw the barrage ran straight into it without picking up the samples on the ground.

Host kicked the dude since the entire mission was completed on the spot with no samples collected.

Dude, that has to suck so much. Makes you wonder if these Helldivers even think before throwing a Stratagem, let alone the right Stratagem.

Maybe some of them had an urgency for a toilet...

It does. But its just one of the few instances because most of my matches go OK. I play on level 7-9 diff against bugs mostly though I do bots if there are MOs.

Pretty much 9 out of 10 players that use the flamethrower are more of a liability than asset. However, to that 1 out of 10 that actually knows how to use that flamethrower well without constantly murdering your teammates, you are awesome and a huge help on bug missions.
