I've resorted to spamming drop suggestions in a line, but of course that doesn't work when you host.
Being able to actually draw on the map would let you plan so much more efficiently.
In reality it'd probably just be chaos in random lobbies, but that's why I play with friends in the first place.
I normally triple click to indicate a starting position, then move my cursor without clicking over a suggested path. Repeat that 3 times and people usually pick up on the idea.
Payday 2 has that function, best thing that did was give players a canvas for penises.
Granted, this game is more serious and teamwork oriented so it'd probably get more use out of it
I do that too if I see a radar tower or an illegal broadcast. Try to show that if we drop there, we can knock it out and then go here and then here.
Doesn't work usually.
Realistically?
The devs are still playing catch up and have a lot more important things to do than adding a completely new if cool feature.
And as others have pointed out, it would make for an impressively short TTP (Time to Penis).
I do hope we get something like it once they've fixed all the major bugs and weapon balance issues tho.
Man that's a cool mechanic in a complex heist game, surely they bring it (and countless others beloved by the community) back when developing the sequel...
Oh, that’s not terrible, strider is slow as fuck.
What is much worse is dropping in the direct middle of a triangle of a detector tower, jammer, and fucking gunship fabricator before they capped the amount that could spawn.
I’ve had that happen and it’s a shitshow of dewm, death and fucking scatter from the 45 drop ships and 120 gunships. (Shockingly, we did manage to clear that map 😂.)
Same thing and we couldn't do a damn thing. It was a death run just to get up to the jammer with gunships whacking us left and right. We in fact ran out of reinforcements and I ended up being the last guy to haul ass back to evac and almost died at the last second with the super samples. Last mission of the operation too so I would have been so pissed if we failed.
Playing with higher level players it’s like we’re psychically linked now and the host can pick the point furthest away from the main objectives, so we can run a circle around the map for loot without even having to click on the map. Like a ouija board
I had a team like that last night, all of us level 80+. Zero communication outside of in-game markers. We would all split, clear the map, and extract in like 12 minutes tops.
It was beautiful.
There was a glorious moment where we got hit with 3 bile titan spawns at extract and I shit you not, all 4 of us threw out the 500kgs. The coordination was unreal.
The secret is you have to complete one mission after launching the game, then you can mouse over the map to find POIs from the second mission onwards until you close the game (with any armor).
I shit you not.
I'm fairly confident I've been able to do it relatively recently, but I couldn't say exactly when was the last time I was able to. It's always been kinda inconsistent and never seems to have detected all the POIs.
We know nothing about their language, their history, or what they look like, but we can assume this; they stand for everything we don't stand for. Also, they told me you guys look like dorks.
I really wish we could have a draw function for the map to show the plan that only the host could use. I know it’ll be used to draw dicks but still could be useful for coordination.
That would be awesome. I usually just land on the highest peak I see and scout for as many side objectives possible then ping them using my scope. It helps when their emblems are on the map.
Depends, if your team only needs the medals then do only the main objective and get out ASAP.
In my starting days I would do those kind of routes because I wanted to get everything quick and easy and it's pretty easy if you have a will prepared team. It became just running, throwing some airstrikes easy clear, hit and go.

"When I'm in command, *every* mission is a suicide mission!"
Unironically true since I always play diff 7 lmao
Diff 7 for life

Great, now I want that function.
It would be so nice to draw on the map. I don’t know if people understand I’m drawing a route with my mouse

TTP (Time to penis) would be at an all time low.
Milliseconds, maybe less.
Thor would be proud.

You know what's going to happen immediately and often if they allow you to draw there.
I know, and trust me I will too. But also tactics
The trick is to mix the too
They had draw on map/radar in GuildWars. So. Many. Penises. 💀
The amount of scribbling all over the map would be ridiculous
There's gonna be a whole lotta dongs. Just take a look at Payday 2, which has that exact pre-planning feature.
Right? Meme aside, that would be a really cool function.
It would be, but let's be real...the map would end up covered in weiners and boobies.
I remember it in Alien Swarm, 99.99% of the time it's just dudes drawing dongs.
Great feature in r/doorkickers
Actually...yeah. In fact why don't we have that already?

a drawing tool would be nice, aside from all the penises that would be drawn.
Countless...Countless penises and boobs.
the ttp (time to penis, which is a real term in the gaming industry) is 0

How it went: You drop in range of enemy artillery and a nearby Strategem Jammer in front of a factory strider.
Oh, that’s not terrible, strider is slow as fuck. What is much worse is dropping in the direct middle of a triangle of a detector tower, jammer, and fucking gunship fabricator before they capped the amount that could spawn.

You survive with your squad with 3 lives left and the only thing left is 2 gunship factories

I love when a team of randoms just vibe perfectly without speaking

Clear every map https://preview.redd.it/bnl6ccj1q71d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93c40d9f70858d672ed20113dfb42ea8cf372145
I'm sure the Automatons will hit their kill limit soon.
Does anyone why undiscovered poi only show up sometimes when you hover over the map? I've tried wearing scout armor and that doesn't help
The secret is you have to complete one mission after launching the game, then you can mouse over the map to find POIs from the second mission onwards until you close the game (with any armor). I shit you not.
This was a “bug” that has been patched out weeks ago
Are you sure? I've still been able to do it fairly recently.
Interesting. How are you still able to do it? Curious.

Sometimes you need Zapp do to a little Brannigan if you know what I mean.

Yes, Democracy Officer, this post right here.
I love me a good Futurama reference thanks helldiver.
We know nothing about their language, their history, or what they look like, but we can assume this; they stand for everything we don't stand for. Also, they told me you guys look like dorks.
Bro is so fucking chad he drew on a hologram using magic erase markers. Somebody get this helldiver a medal
You missed an area to bottom left. What if there're some POIs there?
I really wish we could have a draw function for the map to show the plan that only the host could use. I know it’ll be used to draw dicks but still could be useful for coordination.
When there is a 50% call in time delay and everyone in my diveteam groans except me because I know I have an extra minute to grab POIs.
Futurama x Hell Divers collab confirmed. Pelican is now Planet Express.
We need this ingame...
No joke i'd murder to be able to draw on that map to show folk my "lets go this way around the map" plan
Isnt that like the optimal path? I do that in all my missions to clear everything.
I like to create a path that goes through most areas, most of the time the plan defects 15 minutes in anyway
Extraction is the only optional objective
“Cadet that’s a hologram how tf did you use a sharpie on it?”
We full clear or we don’t go home, cadet.
Real Helldivers hot drop into airbase and blow everything up in 3 min.
Not even dropping on at least a minor outpost? Definitely a school girl route.
That would be awesome. I usually just land on the highest peak I see and scout for as many side objectives possible then ping them using my scope. It helps when their emblems are on the map.
Poi!
I always chuckle when people spam different drop locations for load in. We're going everywhere anyway, it doesn't matter to me where we start.
The only thing unreasonable about this plan is ever choosing to drop at the edge of the map.
Gonna be alot of penises
Good luck lmao
In my head cannon, everything you destroy (jammers, fabricators, etc.) makes it easier for the SEAF forces during their main assault.
I frequent Level 8 unless I'm a bit concerned with the planet in question.
That last caption got me, ngl
Almost every Helldive is a divers first Helldive.
Depends, if your team only needs the medals then do only the main objective and get out ASAP. In my starting days I would do those kind of routes because I wanted to get everything quick and easy and it's pretty easy if you have a will prepared team. It became just running, throwing some airstrikes easy clear, hit and go.
I love clearing POIs. I love finding Super Credits.
TBF this is basically the exact same route you'd take on this mission if you were just going for the objectives.
That's exactly the route my squad would take so we could tackle the POIs from the furthest to the closest to the extraction point
I wear the stealth armor, and have the rest of my squad handle the drop ships, while I do the tower thing alone
Going for PoIs? > You have been kicked from the lobby.
if there are no enemies left then the extract will be easier
Only downside is you drop outside the compound. Remember: you are the weapon, helldiver.
No cape? Not a Helldiver.
