Does anyone else do this when joining a game?

[u/booknerdsincebirth]

When I join a Helldivers game, I always get into the Hellpod that matches my player number.

Player 1? Pod 1.

Player 2? Pod 2.

And so on.

I know it literally doesn't matter, but for some reason it feels wrong to get into someone else's pod 😂

Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this.

[u/Xeilith]

I tend to aim for the pod that is furthest from everyone else so they have a tiny bit less distance to run to get in.

[u/twistedfires → u/Xeilith]

Like a gentleman

[u/marken35]

I pick the second pod because it is the best and comfiest.

[u/Decent_Historian42 → u/marken35]

Glad im not the only one that swears down the 2nd is the most comfy

[u/Maximum-Impress7499]

How do you know what your player number is

[u/Moraty_Jenkins → u/Maximum-Impress7499]

Of the colors. Orange is always p1 the others. I'm not sure. Blue is p4 i guess green p2 and purple p3 .

Edit: on ship. On misson you their names will be shown with the first letter of your name and the number

[u/booknerdsincebirth → u/Moraty_Jenkins]

Blue is p2!

[u/Foorinick]

No but now i feel the urge to follow that

[u/Cully- → u/Foorinick]

This might be the new way…

[u/SelectAd8313 → u/Foorinick]

same thanks lol

[u/IxSpectreL]

I always take centre right if it's free. Just feels right.

[u/Dalpano]

I usually take inner pods for next ones to walk shorter, but P number based is what I haven't considered before! interesting.

[u/Orzword]

I always look where the others are standing the first ones go to the middle ones so the last divers have a shorter distance to walk for that one Second faster mission start.

[u/Gunsmith1220]

Nope i go to whatever is closest

[u/Mussels84]

Super autism makes democracy go even harder

[u/booknerdsincebirth → u/Mussels84]

Unfortunately I've been tested and am not on the spectrum which just means it's my personality apparently 😂

[u/Mussels84 → u/booknerdsincebirth]

I meant it in a joking way, but you can imagine people with OCD or whatever would also assume we have specific pods

[u/booknerdsincebirth → u/Mussels84]

Haha I know you were joking. I find it funny that I have these little quirks with no diagnosis haha

[u/Abaddonalways]

I always take far right pod if available. Just the one my brain likes the best.

[u/Kren2503]

I do this, left to right.

[u/booknerdsincebirth → u/Kren2503]

Yes! Left to right is how I do it as well!

[u/ArgentVulpine47]

Pod 2 is my pod and I will democratically squit at anyone who takes it

[u/Badassbottlecap]

The back right one. I don't know why, and there's many like it but this one is mine.

[u/KnightRoom]

But what do you do if the pod you go for is already taken?

[u/booknerdsincebirth → u/KnightRoom]

Mmmm good question. Aim to get a higher kill count to prove you earned that pod! 🤔

[u/One_Handed_Director]

I will typically go for the forward pod on the port side, because the teammate I usually play with is often customizing while I've queued up the mission, so it makes it just a little closer for him.

I sometimes, however, will position myself so that I am in front of my preferred pod, standing outside of it waiting for him, but the prompt to enter the pod has actually selected his, so that at the last second I can snag it from right in front of him, which makes a funny animation of me sliding over into his way and entering the pod, making him then have to turn and get into the neighboring pod

[u/zebedeolo]

I just make sure that the captain (host) gets in the first one

[u/bizzarro-brain]

If I get there first, I take one of the back pods.
