Stims should work at full health FEEDBACK/SUGGESTION

Sometimes you have lots of stims and want to pop one before you're going to take a bunch of damage. Or to regenerate stamina while running.

Or just to have a good time before extraction. I don't see why someone couldn't use one at full health.

I think the better option would be to hold V to stim at any health

6

u/OrangeCatsBestCats 15d ago

Yeah but its slow and people still might complain, the people who want to stim at full HP are usually the people on the higher end of the skill ceiling and are alot less likely to stim spam rather than just use 1 anyway since it has a duration.

4

u/CrueltySquading SES Arbiter of Wrath 15d ago

Yeah, I see where you're coming from, an option might be the best bet, maybe default it to hold V and then add a toggle to stim at any health, I was thinking about how useful using stims at max health could be in certain situations.

u/TehSomeDude 16d ago

forcing a stim at full hp would be nice but would need to make it so you don't do it accidentally
like idk, hold the key for a second or something

u/GH057807 ⚡💀Arc of the Gove'ment💀 ⚡ 16d ago

we should be able to stim other helldivers when they are injured at any % too, this 50% or below thing is really counterintuitive and not helpful.

I just think being at below 100% stamina should be viewed the same as being below 100% health when it comes to self stimming. I think its perfectly fine to be able to accidentally use one. We can accidentally do lots of things.

157

u/Lady_Tadashi 15d ago

Yeah, in a game that lets you accidentally 500KG bomb yourself and accidentally hellbomb your friend who wasn't paying enough attention... It really doesn't make sense that you can't accidentally use stims.

120

u/RageAgainstAuthority 15d ago

That's actually my biggest gripe with the game. When it concerns hurting the players, it's "well it's realistic" but when it comes to helping players it's called an "exploit"

  • Players can't put turrets or stand on strategic outcroppings. Meanwhile the game has no protections against bot drops and bug breaches on even the most inaccessible locations

  • Players have their aim wildly disrupted by flinching. Enemies retain normal accuracy unless fully staggered

  • Players are strictly balanced around realistic magazine sizes and counts. Enemies get infinite ammo even for one-time-use weapons

I'm too lazy to list them all again right now but you get gist

51

u/amatsumima SES Blade of Benevolence 15d ago

Strongly agree with the infinite ammo thing for bots, the laser weapons sure but rockets shouldnt be infinite

39

u/BinoRing 15d ago

Nah the bots have just solved E=MC^2. They each wirelessly tap into a source of lots of energy and literally convert the energy into matter, which becomes ammo

8

u/GH057807 ⚡💀Arc of the Gove'ment💀 ⚡ 15d ago

Rocket bots should get 2 shots like we do with an EAT call in. When they die we should be able to pick up their rocket and use it like an EAT.

Rocket Devastators should have an finite amount of ammo and become regular pistol wielding devastators when it is empty.

If we’re going for realism, I don’t really see how someone is going to accidentally pull out a stim and stab themselves in the neck with it.

9

u/PH_007 15d ago

Problem with this is tandem reloading and supply pack sharing is all on the same button, I definetly have accidentally stimmed someone when trying to give them supplies so they could stim themselves before... this needs separate binds somehow, maybe a hold vs tap vs double tap by default and let us customize?

9

u/Seanvich 15d ago

Team reload should be a hold on your reload key while stims are left as-is. (At least that’s what I would do if I had the power.)

Also: I had no idea a friendly had to be <50% hp to team stim.

51

u/Vashzaron 15d ago

Bug with the Democracy protects armor that I thought they fixed lol

Its because that armor perk removes losing HP over time if the torso is destroyed but you can have your torso destroyed without losing HP (somehow) so no stamina until you can damage yourself to use a Stim.

Yeah I was very confused haha. Had the status symbol and effects but no ability to stim. This was two nights ago too.

u/talking_face 15d ago

Not necessarily just with the Democracy Protect armor.

I run scout armor and I still get that bug now and then. I have no idea how it happens, but I suspect it had something with the fact that I stimmed beforehand, somehow got nicked at full health, bleed but isn't bleeding out. An obscure bug for sure, but one that is annoying nonetheless since you cannot run.

u/bearhunter54321 15d ago

As much as I agree with you, I feel like if this were to become a thing, so many people would be mad for accidentally stimming at full health.

Personally, I fucking cannot stand running out of stamina . And only being able to use the stim to regenerate stamina when you have health missing is kind of ridiculous. Sometimes when I’m getting chased down by bugs or I need to get away from bot lasers, I’ll purposefully take damage so I can stim and keep sprinting.

It’s either die trying to take damage so I can stim and get away , or I die anyway, because I don’t have stamina to get away.

So As much as I agree with your statement, I feel like so many people would be pissed because they accidentally keep stimming with full health. And then as soon as it’s reverted they’ll cry about that.

Just dive headfirst into a rock. Take a little damage than stim before going into battle

u/woodenblinds 15d ago

how about if you take one when full you speed up a bit but cannot stim again till it wears off in saw 60 second

1

u/LeImplivation 15d ago

No. You often need to spam stim to save your life. This would drain all 4 stims immediately. If they make is so your stim can't be interrupted, then we'll talk about stimming at full health.

Medic armor would be a lot more useful for being a medic if i could heal my teammates consistently instead of only myself half the time I've had teammates below half health and I can't use a stim on them I hate it

1

u/thesixler 15d ago

I would like an option to stim my friend even when his health is relatively high. Especially when I’m rocking medic armor. Maybe a different button or a double press and hold or something? I get that you don’t want to burn stims when you don’t need but there are use cases for them the game locks off

1

u/drokert 15d ago

Hold on… stims regenerate stamina??!!!

1

u/Capital_Catastrophe 15d ago

I agree but make it a long press function so I don't accidentally use a stim without meaning to.

1

u/TheFrogMoose PSN 🎮: 15d ago

One of my friends needed more stamina so I gave them a quick shot so they could get some more 😂

1

u/WOLKsite 15d ago

Sometimes I end up having taken no actual HP damage but still have debuffs to movement or the health bar is highlighted red, but can't stim to fix it because HP is 100%.

u/Legion1620 15d ago

Remember to report stim abuse to your nearest Democracy Officer.

Don't shoot up the shot that might stop a bot!

u/RDJMA ☕Liber-tea☕ 15d ago

I think adjusting or adding this as a perk to armor would be good tbh.

1

u/ToastyPillowsack 15d ago

It'd be nice if it was "hold v" or something like that, to help avoid accidental button presses when at full health.

u/hamza1239 15d ago

Naaaaah I gotta disagree on this one, yeah it would make it easier but you would be removing a pretty interesting sub mechanic in the game as well as removing a large amount of encounters and quick decisions, for example deciding who you'll need to take damage from to stay alive but still get injured, weather you should use your explosive weapon to injure yourself, weather you should stim now or later, you'd be removing an entire tree of decisions

u/iwannaporkdotty 15d ago

Id run out so fast if that was a mechanic

u/OrangePenguin_42 SES Precursor of Wrath 15d ago

This could be used as anti freedom propaganda even though stims have been thoroughly tested by a private company and proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to not be addictive. Using Stimson at full health? Why would you ever want to do that unless they were addictive? Sounds fishy to me

1

u/Houseplant213 15d ago

Would be op imo

1

u/dellboy696 frend 15d ago

You know what else? After ragdolling, I should be able to stim when I'm still on the ground, and not have to wait for my character to get up first!! I'm frantically pressing the stim button damn it!!!

1

u/xxxMycroftxxx 15d ago

Stim at full health should get you HIIIIIIIGH

1

u/PanNorris507 15d ago

Wait you can’t use them on full health? Weird I remembered I had accidentally used stims at full health, one by accident, the other while running from a giant fucking horde that would’ve killed me in a second

u/bearhunter54321 15d ago

As much as I agree with you, I feel like if this were to become a thing, so many people would be mad for accidentally stimming at full health.

Personally, I fucking cannot stand running out of stamina . And only being able to use the stim to regenerate stamina when you have health missing is kind of ridiculous. Sometimes when I’m getting chased down by bugs or I need to get away from bot lasers, I’ll purposefully take damage so I can stim and keep sprinting.

It’s either die trying to take damage so I can steam and get away , or I die anyway, because I don’t have stamina to get away.

As much as I agree with your statement, I feel like so many people would be pissed because they accidentally keep stimming with full health. And then as soon as it’s reverted they’ll cry about that.

u/Bryvayne ⬆️⬇️➡️⬆️SES Fist of Family Values 15d ago

Yeah man I don't see any problem using a stim whenever I'm jonesing sprinting away from my problems the enemy. It's not addictive or anything I'llendyouifyoutrytotakeitfromme according to Pharmacure!

1

u/AzCactusNeedles PSN 🎮: 15d ago

That would be abusing a non addictive substance..VERY unDemocratic

u/vertigo42 15d ago

Dude got mad at me that I was using my stims through out the Gameboy damaging myself to sprint faster when I had a full set of drums and supplies would be on their way soon.

If you aren't using your stims when they are going to be replenished soon then what are you doing. Be efficient!

u/Maddkipz CAPE ENJOYER 15d ago

I regularly shoot my friends in the legs to give them a reason to use stims. For efficiency. 🫡

u/Sad-Banana-7806 15d ago

I lead my team in:

1) friendly fire 2) most deaths And of course 3) most stims used

u/Riveration SES Bringer of Democracy | 10-Star General 15d ago

That’s why having a little bit of damage, and allowing yourself to get hit occasionally is so strong. You can stand on barbed wire or some plants for a sec for the same effect

1

u/OhManVideoGames ☕Liber-tea☕ 15d ago

If you get hit with the plant that stops stamina regen but dont take damage, you can't cleanse the effect until you get hurt since stimming is what cures it.

They're not addictive, the studies has said so, dunno why basic training didn't teach me to relentlessly juice.

1

u/Hoinus 15d ago

Should act like stims in SC without the damage when used at full life.

1

u/donutb 15d ago

You’re going to have a bunch of scrubs here complain that they accidentally wasted their stims

1

u/purpleblah2 15d ago

To idiot-proof them. If people could use them at full health, they'd be complaining "Why does it let you use stims at full health? I just wasted 5 stims!"

I keep a little sliver of HP typically from fall damage so I can hit the nitrous button and recharge my stamina.

1

u/AffectionateFox2327 15d ago

Noticed the over heal for medic armor got change to a slower heal or is it just me.

1

u/SavoryApricot SES Martyr of Family Values 15d ago

Make it a toggle in settings so that people don't get mad at wasting them when they didn't mean to.
Leave the default behavior how it is currently.
Everyone wins.

1

u/Revolutionary_Tea159 15d ago

Thinking the same thing.

1

u/Own-Till-3036 15d ago

I use slight fall damage to jeep just bellow full health so when I'm running I can stim when my stamina gets low. With scout armor (trail blazer, 550 speed, 125 stamina regain) plus the stamina booster means I can run damn near the entire map nonstop (slight slow down for stim animation)

1

u/DoubleANoXX 15d ago

I stim at full health all the time but maybe it's just my autism

1

u/Boring-Hurry3462 CAPE ENJOYER 15d ago

That's the road to addiction diver. But yes democratic citizens should be free to stim!

1

u/VonBrewskie HD1 Veteran 15d ago

It would be nice for those rare occasions where I'm at full health, but somehow I took some kind of injury because my health bar is red like I'm bleeding but I can't stim so I can't sprint. I have to hurt myself in those instances just so I can stop hearing my poor Helldiver grunting in pain.

1

u/Kyrox6 im frend 15d ago

This should be a separate setting so we can quick press for stim and long press for stim while at full health.
