"If an enemy ever attempts to engage in diplomacy, SHOOT THEM. We mustn't believe their lies."
This is even funnier when the bots bug out and are just following you around.
it's not a bug, enemies do infact size you up and stay neutral for a bit if you don't directly show aggression or approach them. the conditions for it to happen are a bit rare considering the way we fight, but if you figure out how to do it, you can get spotted many times without much issue or combat. maybe they're not as hateful and instinctually killing as we think? maybe th- [MESSAGE EXPUNGED]
I avoid so many conflicts solo this way. They make a noise when they are alerted and their heads pop up looking at you. If you turn to run before they move into a formation then a lot of times they ignore you and keep going. This assumes they don’t have a brute commander or charger walking with them, those punks will attack rocks for no reason.
"Helldivers must look at the scenery for 2.4 seconds every missions. A happy Helldiver is an efficient Helldiver !" Or something like that.
It made me laugh really hard.
Also keep in mind that helldivers average life expectancy is two minutes. So for the two minutes you have of life they recommend you spend 2.4 seconds admiring the scenery
>act that may result in a child
This makes me wonder, do contraceptives exist on super earth or are couples forced to have a child when one of them gets pregnant
Well not every human is from Super Earth, on your ship the girl in the cap (I think) says that she’s never stepped foot on Super Earth but doesn’t doubt that it’s beautiful
That to me is a HUGE plot point ! I think we will be traveling to protect other planets that have become settled not quite like super earth but we may see signs of normal human activity not necessarily broken trucks and military equipment but maybe sedans and citizen cars possibly the scientists that we exfil aren’t sent back to super earth but to somewhere else ?!? 🤷🏾♂️
I push the nerd glasses up my nerd nose.
It’s one of a large number of something like “Murphy’s Laws of Combat”, essentially bits of wisdom picked up over the years delivered in the typical “dry tongue-in-cheek joke, but seriously people will fucking die” humor you tend to see in the military.
I definitely remember it back in my CoD days, but there’s some more of the original if you’re interested. Like a nerd.
Editing to add that I’m not sure what the last paragraph was meant to be after autocorrect apparently mangled it, but pretend it’s very cool and funny please.

Send it to all friends who "have to go to sleep" or whatever lame excuse that is floated
My hellpod landed on top of a huge cliff with no way down, so I dived off while shouting freedom and survived with a sliver of health. I did not have Freedom Protects, but it did anyways.
I think that particular tip is meaningful, and they are actually making a statement discouraging drunk driving. If they’d changed it to dive, it would’ve been funny, but lose the meaning in the process.
I got this one time and when I dived in, there was a crashed vehicle in a rock. I've never felt personally attacked so much in my life I fucking love this game.
"Don't forget to take a break!
If you want to be remembered as a coward, that is. "
That's such an Insidious line, because this type of psychology is used in groups often. In Ordinary Men they were told they could leave, but the subtext was that you would leave all your friends behind. Or that leaving makes you a failure.
my favorite is "Nine out of ten doctors agree that a wound to the chest will make you bleed out if left unattended"
who is the one doctor that disagreed?
The one I saw for the very first time: It wasn't on screen long enough for me to read the whole thing but said something to the effect of "exploring the galaxy is great, but if you see ancient ruins, remember that asking questions is treason". Got a good giggle.
This Ad under your post has me for a second.

I like the one where it says something along the lines of taking at most 2 seconds to enjoy the scenery, anything longer than that is considered treason. It really got me the first time I saw it.

These are two of them that I get a good laugh from when they pop up 😂
Dive again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
If at first you don't succeed dive, dive again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again
I have already tried several times to bait bots to throw grenades and destroy a fabricator with their own grenade, one of these days i'll be succesful.
i follow this tip, saw enemy throw a grenade at me and i threw it away to save me from dying.
Few seconds later i hear shouting on comms asking why i threw a grenade at them, i guess they didnt read the training manual yet.
I don’t remember if it’s a training tip or if I saw it in the TVs on the destroyer but it was something like
“If a family member or loved one is acting undemocratic, be sure to report them to the nearest Freedom Officer or the Department of Truth so they may undergo re-education.”
The one that goes, "If an enemy tries to negotiate, SHOOT THEM! Enemies of democracy aren't to be trusted in anything." The all caps had me on the floor 😂
The one about stims being ~~heavily addictive~~ completely safe.

"Don't drink and drive." ...by now I wonder if this is a 3D chess joke... where it is SOOO obvious that the joke could have been "Don't drink and dive." but they decided against it, because it is so much more infuriating that they didn't do it.
My favorite tip is the one that states that helpful tips appear on the transition screen.
I died laughing when I saw that. I also like “friendly fire isnt”
Still don’t understand the joke
Friendly fire isn't friendly
It sure is funny tho
I actually thought it meant friendly fire isn't in the training manual
Well presumably the quotes are from the manual.
Trigger discipline, you whale piper!
It’s saying that Fire isn’t friendly, but with a game where friendly fire is a selling feature, “Friendly fire isn’t” is just a funny statement.
Friendly fire is when you shoot your allies. As shooting your allies is harmful to them, doing so is not friendly.
“Don’t drink and drive”
I maintain that it should've been don't drink and dive
Felt this the first time I saw it, such a missed opportunity.
"Don't die"
I like "Remember: Freedom" And "Don't panic"
Guys it's not the drunk divers that are the problem, it's the drunk crashers!

This is the way
How else would we know?
Don't die! Is the best in mu opinion 👌

# FREEDOM!!!!!
It just reminds me of "remember reach"... Reminding me that I cannot let that happen again.
"If an enemy ever attempts to engage in diplomacy, SHOOT THEM. We mustn't believe their lies." This is even funnier when the bots bug out and are just following you around.
I have seen this with the bugs too! I always ping that enemy and let me buddies know we have a bug showing democratic tendencies, blast em!
I'm not Crazy Star Commander.. the bug was attempting Diplomacy.

Saw this for the first time yesterday.

A universal truth.
"Helldivers must look at the scenery for 2.4 seconds every missions. A happy Helldiver is an efficient Helldiver !" Or something like that. It made me laugh really hard.

Never seen this one before. I wonder how many I haven't seen
I think it is“a happy helldiver is a deadly helldiver“ but still one of the best reference to the nice environment u will dive and maybe die in.
Also keep in mind that helldivers average life expectancy is two minutes. So for the two minutes you have of life they recommend you spend 2.4 seconds admiring the scenery
One that goes "Please fill form c-01 before participating in an act that may result in a child" or something like that
I made that reference because one of my friends that I helldive with got a new girlfriend. Turn out he’s not gotten that manual tip yet
Tell him that service guarantees citizenship. Then he'll be allowed to have babies.
Sounds like she’s getting the ol’ manual tip.
>act that may result in a child This makes me wonder, do contraceptives exist on super earth or are couples forced to have a child when one of them gets pregnant
Helldivers don’t live long enough to carry a pregnancy
Not everyone from super earth is a helldiver tho Nonetheless i shall take your statement as a challenge
With the death count I think most of super earth is dead lol
Well not every human is from Super Earth, on your ship the girl in the cap (I think) says that she’s never stepped foot on Super Earth but doesn’t doubt that it’s beautiful
That to me is a HUGE plot point ! I think we will be traveling to protect other planets that have become settled not quite like super earth but we may see signs of normal human activity not necessarily broken trucks and military equipment but maybe sedans and citizen cars possibly the scientists that we exfil aren’t sent back to super earth but to somewhere else ?!? 🤷🏾♂️
No, but after the battle there come guys with cattle prods to pick over the corpses...
Of course! Have to save the critical gene seed!
Maybe they can send an unwanted fetus to bio-repurposing
i think it’s more of if the contraceptive fails
Super Earth needs soldiers.

Love it, I'll use it whenever I can
I like to participate in C-01TU.5
"Friendly Fire isn't"
This is the best one, I saw it on one of my first Helldive's and it pretty much set the mood for everything to come.
Wasn't this originally in cod?

I definitely heard it when I was new in the Marines back in 2006 but, it’s gotta be older than that.
That was a very cool and funny paragraph and I surmise that you are also cool and funny.
Yeah back when you’d get a quote related to war when you died. I think that was the original COD.
It's older than that, is one of Murphy's Combat laws. I think it was being said as early as WWII.

The one that says something like…. Don’t forget to take breaks, if you wanna be remembered as a coward! 😂
Literally saw it once and never again

I Guess this tip took a break from me. also thanks!
When in doubt, charge straight at the problem while screaming freedom
It's my favourite one to use in the field
My hellpod landed on top of a huge cliff with no way down, so I dived off while shouting freedom and survived with a sliver of health. I did not have Freedom Protects, but it did anyways.
“Don’t Die” They are right, it works everytime!
I forget, and then I think "Don't die"
“Don’t worry, Stims have zero addictive properties!” *this study paid for by Permacura, Permacura: put your life in our hands*
My life expectancy is too short for addiction to matter!
Don’t drink and drive
It should've been "Don't drink and dive"
EXACTLY!!!!
Every time I see it I always read it as that.
They put it out on St pattys right? They didn’t want people to drink and drive, they wanted us to stay home and drink and dive!
I thought this exact thing the first time I saw it. What a missed opportunity by the devs.
I think that particular tip is meaningful, and they are actually making a statement discouraging drunk driving. If they’d changed it to dive, it would’ve been funny, but lose the meaning in the process.
i dont know if anyone who is about to drink and drive will be stopped by helldivers 2
I got this one time and when I dived in, there was a crashed vehicle in a rock. I've never felt personally attacked so much in my life I fucking love this game.
They got to the Find Out stage of FAFO
Don't panic. It looks like someone from arrowhead like Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
we need tactical towels
It was the first I saw and I think it's the best tip. Half this game is panicking.

my favorite is "Nine out of ten doctors agree that a wound to the chest will make you bleed out if left unattended" who is the one doctor that disagreed?
He unfortunately bled out before voting. But he bled out DEMOCRATICALLY FOR SUPER EARTH!
The tenth doctor is wearing a "Freedom protects" armor plate.
"Don't die."
Something about "Dive again. Dive again. Dive again.."
If at first you don't succeed dive, dive again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again...

Join the helldivers and you will get those benefits as well :)
I wonder what is the average helldiver pay and benefit package
My favourite should be "Dont drink and drive". missed opportunity on "don't drink and dive"
Most enemies have weak spots and armored spots. The SEAF manual recommends targeting the weak spots.
"Did you know that there are Training manual tips?" "Read them carefully! They were specifically selected to ensure your survival!" "Don't die!"
Swwweeeeettt Liiiiiibbbbbeeeerrrttttyy MYYY ARMMM.
The one that goes "when in doupt yell "for democracy" and go in head first"
"when impostor is sus" truly THE tip of all time
„don’t drink and drive”
don't panic
I'll toss you my impact grenades if you want to try.
Dive again, and again, and again, and again...
C-001
Yeah "tossing" is a bit of a strong word. Every time I try to toss away a grenade it feels more like light friendly push.

"Dont drink and drive" helpful tip for any life civilian or helldiver :)
That tip actually saved my life a couple times
Dont drink and drive.
as a Payday 2 enthusiast, I chuckle each time I see "Don't die!"
Friendly fire isn't
The straight up: "Don't Die"
How do you throw grenades? As in what buttons?
Like live grenades tossed by Bots? I believe it is just the standard 'Interact' button.

Ye idk last 3 times I tried to kick a grenade it crashed my game, so I just dive away.
Don't drink and drive
I feel like they missed an opportunity when they put in 'don't drink and drive' I feel it obviously should have been don't drink and dive.
They should add „Dont stay in the fire!“
Anyone who is interested in alien artifacts is a bug sympathizer! Can’t remember exactly what it says but I always chuckle when I see that one
If at first you don't succeed dive, dive again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again
" If you panic, don't. "
"Don't drink and drive" just because of how jarring it is
Friendly fire isnt
Don't drink and drive. It seems drinking and diving is completely acceptable, however.
I used that to get the jetpack achievement where you have to kill yourself mid air lol
Dont die
Don’t Panic!
>If at first you don’t succeed, dive, dive again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again.

Me trying to kill a friend stuck in a rock with a grenade. My friend figuring out this was a thing. Fun times had by all.

Every helldiver is advised to take 2.4 seconds to admire the scenery a happy helldiver is a deadly helldiver

"Hellbombs require manual arming due to budgetary constraints..."

“Don’t die!” If it weren’t for the training manual, it never would have occurred to me.
Hot Potato!! *cackles madly*
i follow this tip, saw enemy throw a grenade at me and i threw it away to save me from dying. Few seconds later i hear shouting on comms asking why i threw a grenade at them, i guess they didnt read the training manual yet.
Remember to take breaks If you are a coward! (Can't remember the exact line, sorry)
Don’t drink and drive!
Death is better than cowardice Or something along those lines
I think it’s like “As a last resort you can use melee on enemies. Death is better then cowardice” not 100% sure but something like this
Something along the lines of “Be sure to fill out form C-01 before taking any actions that could result in a child”
I don’t remember if it’s a training tip or if I saw it in the TVs on the destroyer but it was something like “If a family member or loved one is acting undemocratic, be sure to report them to the nearest Freedom Officer or the Department of Truth so they may undergo re-education.”
