Ever wondered why Pelican 1 can be so finicky during extractions in Helldivers? Let’s dive deep into the confusing world of Pelican 1 and its extraction antics!

Summary

  • Uncovering the hidden cues of Pelican 1’s behavior during extractions.
  • Proposed solutions to address Pelican 1’s abrupt departures.
  • Speculations on whether it’s a bug or intentional game design.

Sannu91’s Insight

If the pelican takes too much dmg, it starts to smoke/burn, signaling it’s time to leave. An interesting strategy is to hand all samples to one person for extraction.

Rotmgmoddy’s Take

The mechanic around Pelican 1’s behavior seems poorly communicated. Adding a voice line for critical damage may improve player understanding.

Reggie-Quest’s Observation

Considering the possibility of a bug due to frequent occurrences even in safe extraction zones, it may be wise to prioritize specific extraction orders.

Herd_O_Angry_Turtles’ Humor

Perhaps Pelican 1 has had enough of our chaos during extractions and can only handle so much weight before deciding to fly off in frustration!

Please report impatient Pelican pilots to your local democracy officers. Jokes aside, it is probably a bug and should get reported.
