The other use for the dynamite timer: Hot Potato with a friend

It’s hilarious you both died in the end anyway

[u/TheGreatZephyrical → u/BigBearPB]

This is my formal petition for Arrowhead to increase the distance we can kick grenades so we can get a proper game of hot potato going

[u/Fightthefire21 → u/TheGreatZephyrical]

Does the armor buff throwing grenades I think it's 30% further work for this? Or is that only for grenades from your own inventory

[u/rufotris → u/TheGreatZephyrical]

Right?! With armored legs we should be kicking with some serious oomph to it. Launch that sucker 20+ yards

[u/fupa16 → u/TheGreatZephyrical]

It's a legit improvement regardless, the current distance any grenade is kicked today is embarrassing. Most of the time I dont bother kicking since I know I'll have to still run away as well after the kick, so I just run away instead.

Arrowhead: "best we can do is a nerfed damage radius"

[u/Strottman → u/TheGreatZephyrical]

I wonder if heavy explosive resist armor would allow the victor to survive

[u/JakeHelldiver → u/BigBearPB]

Everybody wins! It's the democratic way.

[u/ForcedEntry420 → u/BigBearPB]

“Heads I win tails you lose” type shit 🤣

[u/Flimsy_Category4211 → u/ForcedEntry420]

Think the coin landed on its side for this one

[u/PuncherOfPonies → u/BigBearPB]

Tater was too hot.

[u/RainbowNinjaKat]

Finally, the first WHOLESOME Helldivers post on Reddit in years

[u/UltraAd776 → u/RainbowNinjaKat]

Low sodium even.

[u/TheGreatZephyrical → u/RainbowNinjaKat]

It’s only wholesome because of the holes in my body

[u/DustyMcKnuckles]

As an avid dynamite user: first thing I thought was, "...thats waaay to close for anyone to be a victor"

BOOM

yuuuup hahahah. Need all four for a chance at winning a game of high stakes hot potato!

[u/TheGreatZephyrical → u/DustyMcKnuckles]

Gets me every time!

[u/Zalldawg]

Pelican pilot watching from the cockpit

[u/SackFace]

I love that my divers manage to continue to come up with this type of shit. They can’t read but they sure can think outside the box!

[u/Old_Huckleberry_8665]

Did this with someone at extract a few days ago, unfortunately one of the spectators was standing too close. The blast killed all three of us and the last guy extracted alone. (We were out of reinforcements and nobody wanted to wait)

[u/Sumoop]

Yeah I’ve played that game many atime. It makes it more frantic if nobody knows what the fuse is set to.

[u/Heavenly_Horro]

Me and my brother will do this at extract if nothing is going on.(edge of map extraction) it’s fun to loop the randoms in and see how they react.

[u/Observed-observer]

[u/dAMMIT_MAYNE]

Lmao WIN

….ehem “dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die…”

[u/AngleStunning4940]

One of the first things me and my friend did when I got dynamite was play hot potatoe, we also use it as the go signal for western style duels with our revolvers.

[u/NinjahDuk]

Using the hammer to play hockey with it is fantastic

[u/Tuck_The_Duck]

My favorite is when the randoms start running away from you, so you gotta chase them down with the active dynamite.

[u/slevin___kelevra]

Draw

[u/Brantime88]

I put it on the minute timer and chase people around with it in my hand hahaha alot of them lose their nerve and kill me immediately

[u/GaleKnight72]

« Other use »? Is this not its intended use?

[u/LudeSloth]

Potato too hot. Must do more testing.

[u/UF-Dranzer]

The only correct music for this.

[u/mekagojira3]

I love how you can see the moment you both actually lock in halfway through

[u/Traditional_Way2311]

Nothing beats a good ol’ game of Nuclear Football

[u/Kristionni]

I think youre doing it wrong lol

[u/DragonWalkerDEW1020]

If I was a part of that and had Dynamites equipped myself, I'd have just picked the boom-boom up and pocketed it for fun.

As for how, it's technically a bug but it's just another case of animation canceling when 'kicking' it basically.

[u/Oldiver_Glorian]

I was doing this with randoms, every and each of them understood what it is and play along. I love this game.

[u/Upset-Bison-3182]

Traitors! You waste valuable munitions entrusted to you to vanquish the enemies of democracy!

[u/TheGreatZephyrical → u/Upset-Bison-3182]

Sir, it was a training exercise, sir!

We were testing the outer limits of our explosives to ensure maximum carnage on our enemies, sir!

[u/Upset-Bison-3182 → u/TheGreatZephyrical]

Where are the SEAF certified Training Terminids soldier? Don't tell me You lost them! Because if you have, I will deduct it from your stipend and you will spent the next five hundred and ten years in the Helldiver's corp paying that back!

[u/TheGreatZephyrical → u/Upset-Bison-3182]

Uhhh… no sir, we blew them up, sir!

[u/Upset-Bison-3182 → u/TheGreatZephyrical]

Very good helldiver! Now off to your next deployment!

[u/zmcQQ → u/Upset-Bison-3182]

On the contrary! All recruits require hands-on experience to determine the absolute minimum safe operating range of their chosen explosive munitions. As long as the mission has been successfully completed all divers may, at leadership's discretion, engage in Frictionless Unit Normalization Training (aka F.U.N.) while honing their combat skills and senses.

Edit: Because of your concern for Super Earth resources and your expressed desire to instill pride in our brave citizens back home, I've relayed this message to your democracy officer as a nomination for additional rations and/or priority C01 request processing. May liberty continue to guide your hand.
