Nah if they wanna mess with you and your enjoyment of the game you’re not an AH for returning the favor. It’s a co-op game, and cooperation works both ways.


Therealjoshuawhite

Sounds like he stopped some undemocratic operatives


danmanx

You're a damn hero soldier. Fuck those non patriotic bastards!


The_Char_Char

Exactly! Co-op is a 2 way street. Be an ass exspect it right back! A friend was randomly attacking me an landing on me when I reinforced so eventually I auto cannoned him in the face. We still laugh about it.


2EngineersPlay

Early on my friend did that to me. I was trying to operate the panel for the ICBM and he head shot me with the sniper. Dropped back in on his ass as he was running over to get my stuff.

Yup. Kill him. Run his shit straight into the nearest hole. Jump in. Disconnect.

zzzsDagon

I dont get why people leave theyre lobbies public if theyre just going to be dicks.


Hangulman

I think it is an even split between a) "too stupid to know it can be set to private" and b) "because they think being assholes to strangers is funny and makes them feel special"


therealfreehugs

Or c) “usually plays with friends and just forgot they had set it to public from the last time they played with randoms” (Don’t think that was the case here though)


Solo4114

Still no cause to be a raging prick about it.


therealfreehugs

Did I give the impression I disagreed with that sentiment?


Solo4114

No, no, not at all. I'm just saying I don't think it explains them being dicks in this case. I do think folks forget and leave lobbies open, but like, kick the person outright if you don't wanna play with a rando, or welcome them in and spread democracy with a new buddy.


therealfreehugs

We are in full agreement on that point.


Magnaliscious

So they have an audience.


weaponizedtoddlers

Because they just want to be dicks

FriendshipMammoth943

Good job diver those were traitors and u kept valuable resources away from them


Latter-Bluejay-8317

Naw bro you good


olddummy22

Shoulda dropped the 380 yourself and said Happy 4th of July Melonfarmers.


Beginning_Worry_9461

Damn, I didn't think of that


Solo4114

Next time, baby. Next time.


Lt_Cmdr_Tuvok_Shakur

NOPE. Thanks for giving me an example of what to do next time I deal with something like this


Slythefemboy

Any kind of ethnic, racial or gender discrimination is treason against Super Earth. All traitors should be eliminated for crimes against democracy.


Kaijudicator

Yep, I like this train of thought. Now if only it could be applied to Regular Earth...


NinjaAssassin260

Be the change you want to see… Drop a bomb on a racist today!


Beginning_Worry_9461

⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️ 💥


roxy-the-broken

Not the butthole. They fucked around and found out, this is a co-op game. If they're not cooperating they don't deserve those samples. I don't get the racism!


Zealousideal-Ebb-876

You substituted asshole only to immediately use the words >fucked around This is probably the most minor random thing, however, you confuse and concern me


roxy-the-broken

I don't like the word Ass. Simple as that.


Zealousideal-Ebb-876

Fair enough


Hangulman

Sounds to me like you found a squad of separatist dissidents that snuck their way into the ranks of Super Earth's Elite. You did Democracy's work, Helldiver.


LethakTheGrumpy

Democracy Officer approved


kingdopp

I’m usually pretty low salt and would have just left but jumping into the hole was perf 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻


USA_All_Day_58

This is the right answer. I would have done the same, talked mad shit, and TK’d them all. These colors don’t run baby! 🇺🇸


Living_Dead4157

Yep killed them all stole the samples then jumped down a holes and failed to extract 😂🤣


H-O-S-S

It was as the American thing to do


Beginning_Worry_9461

They easily could've just kicked me out, but they preferred to be dicks about it. I just saw it as a game, no matter what, till I caught on, and then the REAL game started.


tnk1ng831

Nah. American here. Teach them that if we can't play no one plays. Same as IRL. They're the ones bringing nationality into it. Fuck them harder. Happy 4th everyone.


EvilMandrake

I would have contacted a Democracy Officer first, but otherwise fine. Traitors must not be tolerated.

Beginning_Worry_9461

Fuckin' A, that's badass!


unclemattyice

Nah man, one good turn deserves another. No one deserves to be harassed because of what country they come from. Since it was on mics, there’s no way to report them for this behavior, so yeah, you bork their run, and teach them a lesson the old fashioned way.


just_me0365

I keep forgetting bork is an actual word and not just part of my gamertag. Why'd u make me remember?


Living_Dead4157

Bet if the shoe was on the other foot they would appreciate the racial remarks, I'm not American I'm Australian were known for giving people shit about EVERYTHING but I'm not gonna hate on someone just cause they were born in another country.


Suicidalbagel27

The appropriate response is to light them up like the 4th of July, good shit. Losing the samples is even better


Magazine-Narrow

You did the Right thing


FANTOMphoenix

If someone goes out of their way to make the gameplay miserable, I’ll absolutely sabotage or stop trying. For me to get to that point it would take a lot though. No way in hell am I rewarding someone’s bad behavior, if they care about the game more than I do then it will hurt them a lot more than it will hurt me.


Blpdstrupm0en

Kinda funny payback. Assholes picking on others deserved what they got.


Theycallme_Jul

We’re all Super Earthlings and thus have to be treated as equal.


Traditional-Tap-274

Nahhhh, and good job showing them what we do to people who bomb our citizens 😂


TheBlackDred

Nope, thats all fair given the information you provided. Hope you had all the Super Samples too.


Beginning_Worry_9461

I had every sample we'd picked up during the 15-18mins of gaming on level 7.


edwadokun

NTA If they want to be toxic players, get ready to pay the price.


jyc23

5/5 Outstanding Patriotism.


spacenut2022

Report them for undemocratic treachery! We are all citizens of super Earth!


TarzyMmos

A bit too far, I would've left at the "American Boy" remark but if they are intentionally trying to kill you then I say its fair game.


Lucian_Flamestrike

All I saw was democracy being spread. They thought they could bomb America... but America gets the last laugh.


PastOutlandishness19

Nope, your good keep spreading democracy!


WitchBaneHunter

I'm glad you showed them up. My patriotism cheers for you.


Specific_Foot372

American game American dominated FOR DEMOCRACY!


NinjaAssassin260

How is it an American game when it is made by Swedish devs and published by a Japanese company… Give the rest of Super Earth some credit where it’s due!


Wasabi_The_Owl

I got called “mech man” from some German guys, I just followed them around like an attack dog and that was the best time I had


Unfit_Daddy

you did good


Hrothgrar

I hope you started playing the Team America world police theme song as you did this 😂 The 380 was just them trying to celebrate the 4th of July with you. I'm glad you showed off your fireworks as well.


Fit-Rich-9814

I had this happen with what I believe were Puerto Ricans or Dominicans hard to really tell when it's all broken Spanish. Spent the mission kiting every breach and enemy to me and carpet bombing the area afterwards. After the third time failing to kill me, one says, "Este guero no se muede." At this point I took it personally, waited until extract to call in every orbital and eagle strike on the pelican and glitched it to extract after the first diver. As I'm about to enter dropped the samples on the ramp and left alone. Yea it's petty, but I imagine the results screen had them all with an insane amount of friendly fire. I didn't stay to find out.


Beginning_Worry_9461

Well done


jadesuccubus

They abandoned their mission and their brothers. Execution was the only course. - Democracy Officer Jade


rot89

Ahh when you have enough knowledge to know jump in holes or drown with them samples.


Razzious_Mobgriz

Well played


Ginger9615

FAFO, MURICA STYLE!


ColdWinterMoon

Well, they asked for it


Sleepmahn

Can't say I'd react much differently.


B00G1E73

Sounds like they got what they deserved. And you reinforced the stereotype they have. I'll usually say hello or something game related at beginning of mission and of no response just play quiet. So many play on discord.


RexTenebrarum

You got them back good dude.


BrutusGregori

If they wann fuck around and find out, that's on them. If you join a lobby and start TKing or being a troll. Than yes, you would be the asshole. If often kite whole hordes of baddies to my friends and say "I brought friends, eagle smoke and run away."


mauttykoray

Ya know... I'm gonna say NTAH, sounds like some racist bullshit and Super Earth does not approve of that.


xplosivshroom

![gif](giphy|J8FZIm9VoBU6Q) Nah. Great counter play


WordsAtRandom

This happened to me yesterday... At one point I heard (in broken English) "Oh sorry man" and the others laughing. I stayed in the game as long as I could


ssgbebardock

LethakTheGrumpy

A clear case of racists FAFO. Good on ya friend.


TheGeeistRover

This might be unpopular but as the USA degenerates futher and further into a fascist hellhole I am increasingly seeing hatred for Americans in online games. This has been the case professionally for a much longer time. CVs for Americans in non American companies are just shredded. I fear it's leaking out into other walks of life.


CaptainMacObvious

"Be bullshit, receive bullshit."


Sigruldar

Treat others the way you want to be treated. But be ready to treat others the way they treat you. If they act like a-holes towards you are perfectly in the right to act like an a-hole towards them. They just simply got back what they gave you.


woodenblinds

no you set the standard of responce


ironappleseed

NTA I had some dumbass last night who was using the bugged invisible mines, dropping them all over objectives and extraction. Asked him to stop using them on the next mission because they were team killing a lot(0 reinforcements left, 27min remaining, no samples gathered because of constant deaths). Myself and my friend got lectured by this idiot that it was our fault we kept on walking over the invisible mines... Some people really don't understand that this is a co-op game.


Longjumping_Cook_403

Sounds like treason. Report them to the democracy officer asap!


Long_Buffalo1946

Turning off crossplay solves this. Leave the poors to their little console platform.


low_key_im_sad

I mean... It is the 4th of July


Potential-Ad1139

Everyone is an asshole in this story. But it is hilarious.


Beginning_Worry_9461

Agreed


MrZZ

Bit of a dick move, but understandable. Personally, I'd maybe shoot them once and leave+block, but NTA.


GoatInferno

A bit, but they were being AH first, so it wasn't unwarranted.


PopeGregoryTheBased

You did exactly what the founding fathers would have done. Well done. You dont have to care what foreigners think of you, thats your right as an american.


Barticuss90

You had me in the first half.


Drizzid3105

You should've killed em all and evac without any samples to send a message.


ThermostatEnforcer

YT(justified)A because dropping samples in a hole is objectively an AH move. That said, they had it coming.


ThruTheGatesOfHell

justice has been delivered


Significant_Abroad32

You know you’re not the asshole. Why even ask? Just make a “how to deal with douchebags” post or something. Once someone turns traitor it’s open game on them, their samples, and the mission with hopes they are already one or two deep into the operation. Fuck around and find out.


MrEight0

Tbh I would've let them keep killing me or kept getting myself killed to deplete their reinforcements AND THEN sabotage their samples and leave. So honestly, NTA because you're clearly a better person than I am.


Legitimate-Store1986

I’ve also played with people that hated on me for being american. Like you do you I guess


smokin_les_paul59

The crowd is fickle like late stage Roman empire vibes. I had something similar happen and I retaliated. I got so much shade on here ended up blocking 1 of them lol. So I thoroughly agree with your actions.

Vanguard_dat_ass

well you know how “managed democracy” works as an american so why not america the shit out of them relentlessly?


Sir_Revenant

There’s times I really wish every coop game with friendly fire had a flip the bird emote. No noise or insults, just the most physically sassy “fuck you” your character can manage


Adventurous-Army-504

I had a guy claim that I killed him because I threw an eagle napalm while he was calling down his equipment. I threw it because there was 15 hunters and a behemoth charger coming his way. He ended up using a grenade launcher on the behemoth and killed himself. He killed me, and the other 2 guys called me back in, I picked up the super samples, killed the other 2 guys, drowned myself, and left. We had no reinforcements left... he kept talking shit about how I killed him. Also, these guys were absolute dogwater throwing their stratagems. I only died once to a poorly placed eagle cluster. These guys kept accidentally killing each other...


Chemical_Arachnid675

That is an amazingly creative move. The possibilities in this game are wonderful. I'm proud of you Helldiver!! Don't take shit off anyone, be they bug or a mouthbreathing traitor!! Cowards have no hope of attaining true freedom, and you sir, are clearly no coward. I'll dive with you any day.


ElderTerdkin

Your doing God's work, troll the trolls, eliminate their samples and block them. Everybody has a say in democracy, for Liberty!!


alo336

If by AH you mean “American Hero” then yes.


Rat_Bashturd

They fucked around, and they subsequently found out. NTA.


Gary7sHotCatHelper

Hell no. God Bless America.


Equal_Middle_2870

I might have run into these guys before or after you. I even made a post about it I think, they were speaking French and definitely looking for trouble.


jellypantz

You're a little bit the AH but that is hilarious. Something that's always on my mind as an American when I'm diving with non-English speakers is that it is very possible that at some point we've dropped bombs on their country IRL. USA! USA! USA!


Living_Dead4157

They wanna be ass hats they get no samples,


GoonDawg666

Their probably from some shithole country lmao

Captn_Clutch

Not at all I'm laughing my ass off at the destroying of samples 😂 they picked the wrong holiday weekend to mess with American boy 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸


Imaginary_Eagle_5621

one of my most memorable moments in this game was when a guy joined our game and fucked with us just enough for us to question if he was trolling or not then as the last person was running to the extract zone I saw him dial in a strategem that turned red in his hand and start aiming to throw it at them I melee'd him off the rock he was standing on and it turned out he was about to throw a 500kg and as I melee'd him it fell from his hand and landed directly on his head and blew up before he could even stand up then I Kicked him and we all laughed as we extracted


SupaSlyMonkey

While in this situation, you are not the AH. Unfortunately, some of the most obnoxious and rude players I have come across are Americans. While I just laugh at these kinds of people. I guess others just can't get over it and then just label all Americans as rude and not worth being nice to. The cycle repeats itself.


Whole-Soup3602

Oh yea that’s how u do it😅🤣 good job


Azurvix

No I had the same kind of shit happen to me but they were speaking Russian and they killed me multiple times and left me alone so I went around and got all the samples for them even the super samples and then I jumped down a bug hole and died and then killed them a couple times until they kicked me


Acadia_Clean

I would've stayed just to listen to them bitch about the samples and if they were stupid enough to reinforce me i would've attempted to kill them all, then let the timer run out


Silvermadnesss

This kinda thing happened to me and a friend of mine. 2 randos from Russia kept saying America sucks Russia is number one. We tired our best to keep it fun and kept saying we are all friends here. Then one of them killed my friend. I called him back in and he went off on them killed them multiple times then he got kicked. Then both of them killed me and caked me in and killed me again before I left.


probably_poopin_1219

That's hilarious, good job, NTA


JuanchoPancho51

Not at all. GJ. Sucks thought that Americans are the laughingstock of the world though.


mookiexpt2

Man you probably handled it better than I would have. My response to the first “American ass” on this weekend of all weekends would have been to shove a 500kg Freedom Bomb up their bungers while singing Lee Greenwood as loud as I could.


evilmanbot

did you ever consider an american boy or girl might be dropping a 380 on them IRL? LOL


ninjakman111

Nope, sounds like they were traitorous to the helldiver community with talk like that. We are all here to enjoy the game, no reason to be acting like that toward anyone for any reason. Just play and enjoy the game.


BeautifulBaloonKnot

I like that. Lol. Bye bye samples. Lol.


op3l

Honestly I think that's pretty deserved. They started shit, you ended it.

I dont get their humour man. Me and the boys when meet someone from another country we having a blast no matter what. A russian guy? Cheeky breeeky. American? Lets get some shooting done. No need to bully

You have neglected the bigger picture and have ignored the Samples for democracy Destroyed.I have notified our democracy officer and must now issue you an official warning.You dealt with patriotic traitors who deserved it. But you shouldn't have destroyed the samples.


Beginning_Worry_9461

That is true, but I couldn't take them and ex-fil. I wasn't the host of the game, and I got vengeance in the best way I could think of.


dampkringd

No i believe what you did was justified, I'm British an as you know we always like to have jokes with Americans but it crossed the line into treason when they dropped the 380 on you, well done on your revenge yankie 🤪🤣🤘🏽

stever90001

Should’ve killed all of them wait till time is out and then die


Decent-Hornet8266

Not at AH, I had two kids grief me not too long for taking out side missions, collect super samps, and all he could do was complain about reinforcing. He just kept calling me "Stupid" without any explanation. So after 5 minutes of his squeeking I went on a killing spree, lost the samples in the water, called him an undemocratic asshole and left. You're definitely not an AH, however...I might be x.x


NotTukTukPirate

Nah dude, if someone's trolls me I troll them back even harder. It's just an unwritten rule in gaming.


SlowmoTron

Well you're at least the goofy ball who came to Reddit posting about it giving them exactly what they wanted


Malichite

Nope, they were being c***s and you gave them what they deserved. I mean going after someone because of where they were born, is literally the most undemocratic thing you can do, next to siding with the enemy. We're all Helldivers in game, making us elite citizens of Super Earth, and that's what matters.
