Die in water - loose all of your loot!

[Rebel Drifter on YT]

This happened to me too many times now... I just run around at a small mini base where I find samples. I get spooked by tanks/chargers coming at me. I run and gun but fall into a very deep puddle and lose all my stuff after dying... You can't pick it up anymore either. It's too deep and there was no way of getting out of the puddle or mini ocean... Whatever you wanna call it. Please make it so that the loot floats to the top so we can grab it if we can get close OR even bettter, let it spawn at the side of water / land. Thank you.

I think that's a good suggestion. It reduces the avenues for griefing, and doesn't make you feel like a jerk for essentially being responsible for losing everyone's samples.

The same with holes but It's a part of the game..:-)

Holes I get... You die there as well if I am not mistaken. Never went into one. However you CAN swim in this game for a bit. Depends on your armor? But still... I'd like to see it fixed...

There is nothing to be fixed that's how the game works..

You would think that the threat of losing everything when making certain mistake would make someone avoid making the same mistake again...but apparently not.

We are Helldivers not Hellswimmers. We dive into battle, we don't dive into the water... fish pee in it.

This post has been reported to an officer of the Democracy Enforcing Division, given the subversive thoughts contained.

Have a cup of LiberTEA while you wait for processing.

How does one accidentally keep running into deep water? Do you also keep touching a hot stove to see if it's hot?

As Helldivers it is our task to deploy into hordes of alien scum, not to dive into deep water for lost loot.

As of right now the game devs have a hard time with matchmaking issues. They should priorise these technical issues and not invest time in ideas or suggestions like that.

For what reason should weapons or samples float? Would your car keys float if you throw them out of a boat by accident and they sink into a sea/lake/river? Its bad, but you can take care next time. You are human and allowed to make mistakes.

Learn from your mistakes and adapt to it. Its a game, so you cant always win, and you dont have to. You are not stuck in the middle of nowhere without car keys, you just respawn and do it better next time/round.

Loot doesnt need to float or gets pushed to the beach, just dont move into deep water when you carry tons of samples.

There is also no such thing as "griefing", the entire team gets the reward of samples and collected loot at the end of the match. The team loses points and rewards when players do not extract.

Wow the responses lol - So again - It was a base with a drop off and a small hole with water that I could not get out of.. No fun. It hasn't happened to me a lot but the game did let me swim a couple of times only to drown afterwards. The gear is apparently too heavy which is realistic in an unrealistic game. However... When one FALLS into a mini ocean and the edge / ledge is sooo small but I can't grab it and GET OUT OF said hole... it takes away a lof of fun. Dying is fine... respawning as well... but not being able to pick up my gear straight up sucks.

Put that in your LiberTea and smoke it ... wait... wha?

Don't worry about the responses @rebel drifter ... every game has got a simp squad ready to jump in to "protect" their game.

I have had enough griefing with people deliberately jumping in and losing rare/super samples.

I hear ya... I am reasonably okay though... I am not crying as of yet haha. According to Internet I am a basement dweller who lives with his mom... I don't care lol.

Thats not "how the game works".
It not only loses you the loot but also the SSDs, and you cant finish the mission.
They are also super glitchy and often the surfaces around them will "suck" you into the water hole or down the cliff.
Its dumb.
Not only that, you glitch out and enter a state where you arent dead but you are also dead.
Clearly bugged.
So yes, fix it. Its also bad map design/coding.

See, there's your problem: you can't swim. As long as you remember "I can't swim," you'll be ok.

But I know the puddle you're talking about, and I think they put it there on purpose. For laughs, I assume.
