Why does no one look for the Super Samples?

[Grimno]

Feels like every match I join on Suicide or even Impossible I'm the only person who is actively looking for the Super Sample rock.
When you spend 30+ minutes doing a mission and don't even get the samples when you extract cause no one found it, I feel like I just wasted my time

[Jacodile]

I only look for them in my immediate vicinity while doing the mission, if I see the rock formation I'll then call it out to the team, and head there if not otherwise occupied.

I do not however suggest that we delay the mission to go daisy-picking if we haven't found it by the time we're done.

I do if I'm able but when there are numerous crushers and bile titans running around, reinforcements are on the decline, and that timer is under 10 minutes sometimes you need to cut your losses and get out of there.

[Espio0]

I have noticed that randoms just want to do the main objective and get out, hardly any secondaries or sample/points of interest hunting.

Probably the same issue as rare samples.

I currently have 110 rare samples, 70 super rare samples, and 0 common samples.

"Common" samples are the real super rare ones you'll need to upgrade all of your stuff, most people probably have already done half a dozen helldiver missions gathering the "super rare" samples so they probably won't ever need them again.

[BEEP!]

Main reason why I'm doing so many solo runs.

Basically do the same with group of friends I run with. If objectives are done then we'll go around lookin a bit but no point going out of your way if your main/secondary objectives are not done yet.

Ive done so many that collecting them is going out of my way xD

I need more common than anything.

We usually have about 10-20 green samples per helldiver run, and almost trip over them, so to speak.

I have 120 common samples. They drop a ton in the lower difficulty. Doing difficulty 4 or 5, I can get up to 15 common samples.

Just do a bug small arena defence, one of the arenas has 9 samples right in the pool of water right in the middle, and the other 6 out and around and with how pathetically easy those missions are you can be in and out in sub 5 minutes.

[Kashra Fall]

I look for them when I can as we move from objective to objective, but I don't go out of my way for them. They can sometimes be on the very outskirts of the map and abandoning my team to find them doesn't seem like a smart idea.

[Lunaire]

I guess, right now everybody is just trying to unlock higher difficulties. Therefore completing objectives, is the absolute priority + I'm almost 100% that most people don't even know there are different types of samples at that difficulty level OR even if they do: how to find them. So just let them know.

[Cellar_Cat]

That rock makes them super easy to find and you just don't need very many (so far anyway).

[Anzaman]

The game doesn't really tell you that they are at some specific rock in the map, where as previous two are randomly scattered. So I imagine some might not even know where to find them.

And just randomly running around map chasing unknown isn't that effective method when 17 Bile Titans are following you around.

[ZealousSteven]

I do with friends but as others have mentioned, if you already have enough, you probably won't care.
Also, pro tip, when you find the super sample, drop them at the extraction point. They will never despawn and you don't have to run the risk of having to go into a bad place for them later.
