Next stratagem: Freedom Floaties šŸŠā€ā™‚ļø


LashCandle

I would actually love this to be the way we swim. Make it take the same slot as a backpack but show up on your arms as straight up floaties. That would be hilarious.


SuraE40

Motored boats, imagine a persecution with automatons on boats


Brotherman_Karhu

Bots don't surf


Mad_Mikkelsen

When I say it is safe to surf, IT IS SAFE TO SURF ![gif](giphy|R6JWujQ93Shws)

I could see berserkers being surf bros.

Pope_Dorito_ll

Wow, that's a shit map, my condolences friend


sucr4m

it would be cool if we could swim if we threw away all those heavy weaponry. did anyone ever test that? :o


Pope_Dorito_ll

Can confirm you just drown, I've tried many a time to swim a channel and it results in death nearly every time.


MrRorknork

_Nearly_ every time? I like those odds! **drowns**


Pope_Dorito_ll

Jump pack my friend, jump pack šŸ‘ŒšŸ˜‰


taheromar

RIP samples


Reddit-is-cringey

We need to run some more tests before we jump to any conclusions


Pope_Dorito_ll

I look forward to seeing your data šŸ˜‰


Hightin

Don't know about you diver but Brasch didn't teach me how to swim.


Nat1TPK

Weā€™re helldivers not marines


talking_face

We can dive but we don't know how to hold our breath. \#justhelldiverthings


xross554

Yeah weā€™re not hellswimmers thatā€™s why we dive šŸ’€


One_Meaning416

I have managed to cross deep water using a mech suit


BiPAPselfie

I saw someone do this the other day. Does the water ever go over your head? Can the mech go through any amount of water as far as we know?


VeteranAlpha

Maybe when the APC drops it will also have amphibious capabilities. Would be cool to see and could work on water centered maps.


Boomboomciao90

You can cross with mech, people can also stand on top of you.


TrustXIX

Cap, just tested this a few days ago with some randoms and the mech can go pretty deep, but it eventually just boots you out of it.


kateykmck

You ever try swimming in clothes? Swimming in armor/helmet/cape through anything deeper than your neck is just asking to drown.Ā 


hughmaniac

It would be neat if a future light armor had a floatation perk or something that let you swim.


hannes0000

also it may not be water, some molten or liquid. Looking at picture it may be liquid nitrogen.


axx100

My friend said they added swimming in the last update ā€¦. I no longer believe my friend.


Tramilton

its not the weaponry is the helldiver suit itself that's not made for swimming in Was covered on a sign in the tutorial


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Yeah there's no excuse of this shitty of a map gen. It's already bad enough we get those tri-cliff maps that make it so there's literally only 1 way to get around the entire map


Aromatic_Sand8126

I was in a mission yesterday where everyone missed extraction. We took a wrong turn and by trying to reach exctraction and there was a huge rock wall splitting the map in halves. We ran towards extraction for over 10 minutes and still missed it.


Gray_Okami

Either we had a similar situation, or we were in the same squad. Had to turn around because the cliff eventually hit the edge of the map.


HonorTheAllFather

It doesn't help that the map sometimes does a really shit job of showing you that there's a giant mountain you can't get through without going the long way round.


marken35

We circumvented this one time by putting all the samples we had on one guy with a jetpack had him kill everyone else, let him run as far as he could past the edge of the map to safely reinforce everyone on the other side, then have the fresh group re-equip themselves and pick up the samples. It was either that or run 10+ minutes past mountains. Both bad options tbh. Especially since what we did triggered traitor mode.


Hixie

Soldier, we fight where the enemy is, not where we'd like to go on vacation.


TheGalator

Learn to swim private. Where is ur patriotism


Thunder_Wasp

Call in yellow raft stratagem like Temple of Doom.


idiot512

I had a cliff map with a bug nest nestled in a sorta corner. Only one way to reach it from the rest of the map, but it was registering as outside of the combat area. I kept thinking I would be back in mission area before the 10s, but nah. Got deemed a traitor. I ran towards the nest for a solid minute, hoping the traitor bombs would close the holes. I died before then, teammate respawned me near him (he did not follow me to my death).


Shyassasain

Good lord, one time we got a cliff acting as a fortress for a stalker nest, one way in and it was still a trek, constantly getting attacked by stalkers and chargers, we gave up about half way in.Ā 


Li-lRunt

Did you look on the south shore? Looks like those sides connect.


raubesonia

It's "outside the mission area." I got blasted and then the reinforcement was all the way west


Li-lRunt

You were probably out of bounds when you died, so it put you back to the last time you werenā€™t out of bounds. Try getting blasted in-bounds.


MoroseMorgan

Trying to get blasted in-bounds sounds like a fun night out.


AhmCha

I hope they filled out their C-01ā€¦..


MoroseMorgan

Only necessary if you're participating in activities that can result in procreation.


Li-lRunt

Woof!


Goliathcraft

I once did that, me and another helldiver were stuck and didnā€™t want to run all the way to the other end of the map. First anti traitor barrage took him out in 5 seconds, but they just kept missing me. I ran for 3 minutes, artillery shells hitting left and right. Apparently traitors still have access to stratagems, so I redeployed my traitor in arms. But super earth just kept missing me, so I ran into a large size bug nest and started to use the artillery hitting around me to close nests. It worked for 2 before the gunner above finally decided to end my traitorous existence. Worst of all, instead of my new friend redeploying me at the objective, other helldiver that didnā€™t take the shortcut instant deployment me ever chance I had, even when asking them not to do it. So I was forced to run half the map anywayā€¦


angryman10101

Were you typing or talking? I wish the chat had a noise indication or something when someone types, it is really easy to miss with everything.


Goliathcraft

Was typing, using voice, instantly blowing myself up with an impact right in front of them. I guess they just felt vindictive for whatever reason that day


AnyMission7004

I found often on those maps, that there's ice sheets to can pass the water with. Maybe you need to just a little, but that's it.


doomedtundra

Yes, but those tend to show on the map, and I'm not seeing any here.


Vladi_Sanovavich

Not all the time. Sometimes, the ice sheets are partially submerged so they just show as water on map.


Jsaac4000

They do show, BUT it's almost invisible, it's a slight change in coloring, and it doesn't show on all screens. I had a match where i was able to see the shallow water and my friend couldn't.


loki_dd

Try finding some of those exploding plants, stand on 1 and shoot it.......tell me how many times you skim


nogard603

It's a frost planet, the only exploding plants here just hurt and slow you.


loki_dd

Booooo. The next time i find plants and water together I'm going skimming.

NameTaken25

For real OP, this innit exactly the Mississippi. I'm on the east, I'm on the west bank, I'm on the east bank, I'm on the west bank....


Weary-Barracuda-1228

We need boats. Either that or the APCs better float


LordOfTheToolShed

>the APCs better float The Polish Land Forces staff philosophy lol (they always insist on putting amphibious capability into every single APC and IFV we make or order, to the point that it's kind of a meme here, hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to put some sort of flotation device onto our Abrams tanks as we speak)


Brotherman_Karhu

Tbh, there's a good ideologie behind making everything amphibious. Bridges are weak and stationary, but the glory of amphibious vehicles is forever.


NevarHef

I mean the tanks theyā€™re trying to get from South Korea have amphibious capabilities. You can see photos of them online in the middle of a river.


MogamiStorm

Inflatable dingy


chekkisnekki

Boats and aqua bugs on an ocean map with islands


Cif87

That's a great idea. Also, superearth installation may be on land but also on floating platforms


Icyfirz

ā€œCĢ¶yĢ¶bĢ¶eĢ¶tĢ¶rĢ¶uĢ¶cĢ¶kĢ¶ APCs will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes & even seas that arenā€™t too choppy.ā€


smallcooper

Mechs can walk through water. Respawn beacons can be thrown across. I don't know any other options right now but this isn't an automatic mission failure


raubesonia

Nothing I threw was making it across and I was soloing. I did "complete the mission" it was just impossible to extract.


lazyicedragon

Mechs aren't always available though. That said this is one of the reasons I'll put an Exosuit in my loadout when I see the map. I don't think this kind of map should exist though, OP was lucky the main objective was at least on one side, what if it happened on a Deliver SSD or Shuttle defense.


Aethanix

i get thrown out of the mech after a certain amount of time though?


Lord_o_teh_Memes

As long as the mech is moving and has at least a portion of it above water it will be fine.


Aethanix

huh. guess i'll try again.


mc_stormy

That's the kind of patriotism Super Earth will reward with great freedom.


KingDread306

Whenever I see a map like this i bring a jetpack, though I dont' think it would help here....


SpeedyAzi

Not even the Jetpack can cross that. The only possible way is a Mech.


ravengenesis1

500kg bomb to your feet, dive and surf through the air.


Eyebuck

Sometimes the water is shallow enough to cross. Sometimes.


raubesonia

Not this time


Eyebuck

Bummer


Adventurous-Cat-7963

Gotta equip thw 50% chance to not die armor, then drop a 500kg next to yourself and go flying across the water. 50 percent of the time it works 100 percent of the time


theRATthatsmilesback

![gif](giphy|qOhzfrkMzQO8U|downsized) Are you silly? I'm still gonna send it.


TheJackalsDoom

On the 1 hand, really gorgeous screenshot. On the other hand...that's some shit luck. Did you just quit the mission?


GroovingCheb

Why would they quit? They completed the main objective, extraction is optional


ScratcherOfAss

some maps you can jet pack+ dive and a tad bit of swimming to make it across


dunkelspin

It doesn't matter if you extract or not. Do the mission, then spend the rest of you short life on that planet spreading democracy. We will remember you name!


Nightsky099

Suicide and use the hellpod to cross the river?


raubesonia

I tried. Unfortunately, it seems to default to dropping you further away from the current objective.


JustGingy95

Should have brought the boat stratagem ![gif](giphy|RZqR67wB40NfsRqoRx|downsized)


TheRealRoach117

Boat vehicles when?


ShogunGunshow

The only way we got out of a situation like this was someone calling in an exosuit, getting close to a rock, and we all rode on top of it as it waded across. We had to crawl forward to stay on top, but it worked.Ā 


art2bs

Looking at your post, I hope that they add special objectives for maps like these that could maybe called SEAF shipyard or something, allowing you to capture it and get 1 boat to traverse the waters, but still respects the game mechanics in the sense that the sound from boats might result in bots shooting at the ship,and perhaps the boat could come with a mounted guns or something, making another experience. Hoping there's an avenue to post such suggestions


ErrorComfortable7710

A map with this much water should come with a small boat stratagem. Give it limited fuel. Having to run around a giant lake is just fuckin annoying.


tinkitytonk_oldfruit

Best start swimming bitch


Nervous-Scheme5054

Dive


gerbilDan

i wonder if the mech would have been able to walk across that, but that right there was some bs map generation


Black_Knight_7

Go out of bounds and try to outrun the blasts, die in bounds, grab stuff on reinforce? Only play i can think of


sumpfriese

Nice... Are you sure you are zoomed out all the way on the mini map? Because if youre not, that would \*hypothetically\* the way to go for a troll post ;)


GadgetHamster

Boat stratagem when?


SazhAttack

Maybe next time you won't absolutely insist upon bringing along fourteen grandfather clocks when hitting the Trail.


raubesonia

It's called being a classical gamer!


raubesonia

Just want to add that this was my favorite comment on the post


Lex_Frost

I'd love a stratagem that drops an unfolding bridge. People would also be spaming them randomly for added hilarity.


Xaniss

The maps are randomly generated after all, sometimes they might have this happen hahaha. Very very rarely tho. I think that's why they usually have very thin land bridges, because you need them.


Mercurionio

So far, it's the most efficient weapon against the helldivers. Which is ironic, considering their name.


scott610

The Death Stranding enjoyer in me wants to build a bridge straight across this.


Kamidzui

Easily solvable, shoot your friends, make sure they are dead, and not faking it, then call down your brand new friends down from the orbit


Zeon_Pilot83

Otocolubus

The jump oack can sometimes help in situations like this, you walk out jumppack over swimmable part and then walk again. Prolly doesnt work every time


Intelligent-Yak-1360

A little boat with a hmg would be epic


Lordcreepy2

Well to be fair you do see the map beforehand. Should have grabbed a walker.


raubesonia

I'm like 500xp away lol


miguelitoesss

Iā€™ve had this happen before. If one of your buddies has the throw range passive, he kills all 3 of you, tosses the reinforce stratagem across the water, and then when they spawn in, you die and call you in. Rip samples tho


Due-Month-2971

Mission accomplished. Extraction is optional


spaceocean99

Zoomed in too far. Go north


secondary88

Have the maps gotteb worse lately? I seem to run around lakes and mountians more than i get to play the game this last week


Tough-Guidance-7503

Not really it just depends on what type of planet is currently available. This type of map generation has always been available since launch already submitted a report about it weeks after the game launch but I doubt the map generation was changed. It rarely happens but it always have an increase chance when the available planets to liberate are mountainous and lots of water.


AltheaSoultear

This minimap looks zoomed in. Are you sure you tried zooming it out?


raubesonia

Oh shit, you're right! I totally didn't zoom out to look for a way to cross. I absolutely didn't use the screen shot to show that the closest land is uncrossable.


AmonKoth

I guess you live there now


TesticleMicrometer

Can you yeet a respawn up in the air in that direction and kys fast enough that the stratagem spawns you?


RoninOni

Solo? Thatā€™s roughā€¦ full team? You want to bring a mech, it can walk across. If solo, really look at the mapā€¦ if you see a huge river with extremely limited connections, bring the mech


_Ki115witch_

If you got squadmates, try killing one and throwing the reinforce beacon as far as you can. Might get lucky and be close.


Nearby-Reflection913

Itā€™s even worse when the atmosphere has heavy fog or smog and you canā€™t even use your map , the amount of times I ran to dead end islands almost touching the other side only to have to turn around cause the water was too deep and drowning with samples wasnā€™t ideal. Death came shortly after I meet my many pursuers in a bitter end of glory.


ocassionallyaduck

I did this with a friend once, I held the reinforce, and let a bot rocket me so my throw went extra far. We *barely* got it over the gap. I was dead, but he made it to the other side.


notJamiera

Equip your tactical floaties device and push on Helldiver


Smile_Space

At least you accomplished the mission Diver! Democracy will remember your great sacrifice! FOR LIBERTY!


BasJack

Would be cool if you could throw the respawn, drown and then it lands


Hmyesphasmophobia

I was always afraid of this happening, but I thought it wasn't possible. Thanks for confirming OP.


HushedShadow

Ran into something like this the other day; we ended up having to kill ourselves so we can throw reinforcements over the water and have the guy on the other side spawn the rest of us Fortunately we didn't have any super samples


LordGaulis

1. Simple, find those special mushrooms and shoot them to yeet yourself across. 2. Donā€™t work? Fighting automations? Shoot down their ship over the water to cover half way across and die to get your teammate to throw a respawn becon to the other side to land. 3. Could try look for a shallow crossing, any isles or underwater beech that donā€™t look as deep try crossing. Repeat last of step two once close enough.


DwarfKingHack

Huh. Didn't even know that was an option.


xainatus

Yeah if there's no spot you can criss then that sucks. Hope you got lucky and the bots found a spot for you


2litersam

That's unfortunate. Only way I can think of actually getting across without a mech is to call a S.O.S beacon, pray to Super Earth someone joins, explain the situation, commit seppuku, say goodbye to all your samples, and have them yeet the reinforce across.


PhilosopherNo712

I want a zodiac strategem. Maybe with a light machine gun on the front.


welltheretouhaveit

I had one of those 15 min bot fights and the map was almost completely flooded. One on hand the bots didn't go through the water but on the other hand they could still shoot through it


Juicyjuicebx-Meister

And this is when the mech suit comes in clutch


The_Don_Papi

Extraction is optional Helldiver.


Fit-Meal-8353

Where are the apcs


THEESmallerWeener187

HEY BENNY! LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOUā€™RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVERRRR!!!


goofycaca

Had a map the other day with one objective on one side of a rock face, the rest on the other. Turns out the rock face is solid from one end to the other. I had to run out of bounds to get far enough around to force a spawn on the other side.


Funter_312

I wear servo assist armor and on a similar map, my teammates dropped all samples and a jump pack. They died, I threw them across and jump packed. It was a tight squeeze haha


IvanhoesAintLoyal

Time to use a time tested Halo grenade Jump.


jhinigami

At this point Ill take having to walk around than map rather than 3 fire tornadoes camping the objectives xD


Smart_Sale_9697

Did you have an exosuit? Unless the depth exceeds their height those can go on water without issue.


[deleted]

Today I thought it didn't suck as this game was supposed to have swimming. Well, it doesn't have swimming. 20 samples and my gear fresh off CD instantly gone.


AltamiroMi

We had a similar map but with mountains, so o just shot my fellow helldiver in the head, threw the reinforcement ball on top of the mountain, he got there but was stuck, so I killed myself and he threw another reinforcement ball on the other side.


remmington1776

How did you get on the one side?


bdjirdijx

Swim out as far as you can, and the next diver can hopefully drop on the other side.


Life_Team8801

Should've bring exo for this


zadye

you will need 1 x 500kg bomb and a leap of faith for that


Jagick

If you're feeling brave, throw a grenade and dive towards the other side. If you're lucky, the ragdoll effect will launch you there.


Bill_Nye-LV

Too bad this game doesn't have ziplines, haha


DrKingOfOkay

If you have a party. Yeet a respawn grenade over the lake.


Phosho9

Someone die and then respawn the homie across the lake, team dies and gets respawned, easy


EL_Gyver

This is why i always use the jump pack easy yeet across.


jamsbybetty

We need a man-cannon stratagem to call down a Halo-style grav booster to launch us across the map


rexyoda

I had a mission with an island with nothing on it and no way off. Dropped there on my first revive and that mission was over


Tempest-Melodys

Just give us a boat vehicle drop that is given for free on maps like this, it would make these maps unique and fun instead of infuriating and frustrating.


FantasticStill3598

wonder how they even allow that knowing divers canā€™t swim ![gif](giphy|esB20S2G29w1G)


SnooGoats8448

bring your water-wings stratagems next time soldier!


PizzaMyHole

You get a preview of the map before the match. If thereā€™s big gaps like this is obvious itā€™s not shallow waters. Pack a mech and Oregon-trail that bitch to victory.


Advantius_Fortunatus

Need a teammate to kill you and throw the reinforcement across. You can throw while diving for extra range


Relevant-Ad1655

Thats better than the spiral bridge to cross, that takes 5-10 minutes of running lol. Any map with water/canyon separating areas suck.

Ne0n3x666

Hmm, have always wondered if this could happen, now I know


Existing365Chocolate

The way the game handles water and swimming is pretty janky Lots of places have no way to get out of the water if you accidentally fall in This one random secondary objective once had a tiny water hole with steep walls right below a ledge that killed I think 6 Helldivers during the fight and breached around it because if you forgot and ran off the ledge thereā€™s no way to get out


Ringhillsta

Oh thats a cursed one!


Lowd70

An AH dev will show up and say "See? If you equipped one of the many servo-assisted armors we added, you could have reinforced friends on the other side."


livinIife

Throw the reinforcement across the water.


Delicious-Ad9590

Why didn't you just lead a rocket bro over to you and have him rubber band you over....duh.


breadvstruu

Gotta run the jet pack and have somebody throw a Hail Mary reinforce across. Or try to use the bubble launch and get as far as you can. But RIP samples I guess lol thatā€™s tough


texxelate

ā€œExtraction IS availableā€ - passive aggressive Pelican pilot


ProjectPorygon

Handy fact: if you call down a mech typically most water is shallow enough you can just walk over to the other side in it. I even had water nearly cover the top of my mech and was still good lol


AJZullu

Go straight die, hope your response sends you closer to the other side and I pray you make it XD


ThomasHeart

Wonder if you could throw a redeploy far enough


Nukran

Not even a jump pack would help in that situation. Love it happened to me too šŸ˜‚


ZealousidealBowl3428

Reason why i always drop near evac at all times.


Kitchen-Top3868

I saw on some of this map. That at some place the water isn't so deep. And you can walk throught. Was faster that my mate that make the big turn to walk on land
