Helldivers 2

Last night I was playing with a random group of people on a suicide mission. I found the super samples and said in voice chat that I was going to drop them at extract. A few minutes later, a level 23 guy ran to extract and picked them up. I said in voice chat, "hey, can you drop those samples back on extract so we don't lose them if things get rough?"

No response. I figured he must not have voice chat turned on. Oh well, I'm sure we'll be fine. We start doing the rest of the mission and about 15 minutes later, I see that he dies and has dropped the samples. I'm not with him at the time, but I figure he'll pick them up when he can. Things get hairy for a bit and everyone dies a few times, but we finally finish the last objective.

Then I notice we don't have the samples. I check the map and see there are some sample icons, so I figure that one of those must be the super samples. But after running to pick them up, we still don't have the super samples. So I say in voice chat, "Did anyone see where that dude dropped the super samples?" And it turns out he DID have voice chat turned on, because he responds, "Sorry I lost them."

I will admit that I lost my cool. I didn't say anything, but I kicked him from the game. I probably shouldn't have, since I should have used it as a learning opportunity. I was just frustrated because I specifically said what I was doing, then when he made a mistake and took the samples, I told him immediately and he didn't listen.

Accidentally picked up samples, didn’t realize I was on extraction. Instead of talking on chat or typing in chat, I get shot in the back of the head and booted. My bad, didn’t know my slight lack in situational awareness totally ruined your playing experience.

Just say something, don’t kill and kick.

Man, super samples was such a a hassle till I bit the bullet and went to level 9.

Level 7 is swamped with people who shouldn't be there, but are just for the super samples.

9 actually seems easier, because the people there tend to know what they're doing. Soloing an objective when 3 titans show up isn't great, but surprisingly manageable if you're good at kiting and can hit headshots with the quaser when they start to spew.

this mfer watches me drop the samples as we hunker down for extraction, walks over and picks them up right in front of me with a fresh EATs in my hands. one guess as to what happens next.

Literally just happened to me. I was so mad.

Just had the host leave at mission 2 of 3 (level 7) we hadn't even gotten any SS yet.

I think I'll be pushing to lvl 9 soon

When I was a lower level and first started playing on suicide a dude got on the chat and said "I dropped the samples at extraction" I thought he died on his way through on the way to the next mission and got called in somewhere else. I didn't put two and two together that he did it on purpose. So on my way through I grabbed them. A couple minutes later my brain made the connection, and i just kept my mouth shut and decided to protect them with my life. To add to this story, I am a firefighter at a quiet station, during down time we play games but in the off chance I get a call I have to leave. So.... 10 minutes later, I got a call. So unmuted my mic, told them I had them , and told the dude I was standing next to that I was dropping them and I have to leave and before I even opened the menu to drop them every one of them emptied their guns into me and took them. And I closed my laptop. I found the whole situation funny. Especially when you are first playing on suicide it is PURE CHAOS and your running around screaming.

"Ya know what, I'm gonna drown it even harder"
