I leave that one for the lower level players to take so they can feel like they’re contributing to that part.

Also, I die a lot.

I do the same thing. And then cringe when they take something else like decreased extract time.

What?! Extraction isn’t even required for the mission to count as successful!

Such undemocratic inefficiency.

Exactly! It’s a worthless stratagem from a democracy point of view!

And you can block patrol spawns right now by standing in the right spots anyway, so why bother speeding it up?

Yeah I was an embarrassing level when I found our resupplys are for everyone

Same. I thought I was being a cool guy sharing my personal resupply with the team.

I’m so used to playing with that booster on that it feels awful to not get full inventory on respawn

Honestly! Spawning in with only two grenades is terrible

Yeah if no one runs the booster, I immediately call in the resupply when we land. 2 grenades and stims is some bullshit.

Wait. That’s not how you’re supposed to play? Bullseye a bug hole/bot fab with your pod, clean up stragglers, drop a supply (on a hole or other stragglers) and then call for your support weapon/jetpack… Then, begin the mission.

Right? 🫠

I mean, 20 respawns, 4 players…

In a 30 minute match you’re getting a single free supply pack every five minutes. Max benefit averages over the team if you use all respawns.

There’s better options.

It’s almost always better to take something consistent than something that only helps after a certain thing happens.

Just like in the Magic the Gathering health is a resource, in Helldivers lives are a resource and I like to spend that resource.

I use the same logic when I throw my friend’s reinforcement on top of the bile titans.

So long as you get it close enough they can hit it, all good… Not much worse than dropping in beside a bile titan.

Gotta get that Hellpod Power Steering module. It makes it feel like you can hit anything you want!

I find it’s worth taking. There aren’t a lot of good boosters out there. So if the stamina and health ones are covered I’ll take this one. Missing out on 2 stims and 2 nades kind of hurts. And if you drop in hot or get reinforced in the middle of a firefight having those extra 2 stims can be enough to get out without dying again. Especially with random because most of the time that resupply will be on CD because some chuckfuck decided to go solo and call in resupplies who knows where.
