I leave that one for the lower level players to take so they can feel like they're contributing to that part.

Also, I die a lot.
- I do the same thing. And then cringe when they take something else like decreased extract time.
  
  What?! Extraction isn't even required for the mission to count as successful!
  
  Such undemocratic inefficiency.
- theyll just disconnect after their first jammed reinforcement.
- I just realized that the boosters effect everyone 🤯
  
  Yeah I was an embarrassing level when I found our resupplys are for everyone
I'm so used to playing with that booster on that it feels awful to not get full inventory on respawn
- Honestly! Spawning in with only two grenades is terrible
  
  Yeah if no one runs the booster, I immediately call in the resupply when we land. 2 grenades and stims is some bullshit.
- I mean, 20 respawns, 4 players...
  
  In a 30 minute match you're getting a single free supply pack every five minutes. Max benefit averages over the team if you use all respawns.
  
  There's better options.
  
  It's almost always better to take something consistent than something that only helps after a certain thing happens.
Run out of grenades

die

spawn with grenades

👍
Just like in the Magic the Gathering health is a resource, in Helldivers lives are a resource and I like to spend that resource.
- I use the same logic when I throw my friend's reinforcement on top of the bile titans.
  
  So long as you get it close enough they can hit it, all good... Not much worse than dropping in beside a bile titan.
  
  Doom drop for Liberty!
- Yeah, others' first.
I find it's worth taking. There aren't a lot of good boosters out there. So if the stamina and health ones are covered I'll take this one. Missing out on 2 stims and 2 nades kind of hurts. And if you drop in hot or get reinforced in the middle of a firefight having those extra 2 stims can be enough to get out without dying again. Especially with random because most of the time that resupply will be on CD because some chuckfuck decided to go solo and call in resupplies who knows where.
Stop shooting the Erupter near me then, I was fine before you decided to "help."
- I'm sorry I decided to take that, the grenade pistol, and the Auto cannon and have permanently rag-dolled you... But I like explosions!
  
  Well atleast its not the Arc thrower, Blitzer, laser pistol and tesla towers.
The game is all about movement so the must haves are always:

Stamina : Go faster longer

Muscle Enhancement: Go faster in more places

Vitality : Don't take as much limb damage, live longer
- Yep, I usually want those 3 plus the ammo perk.
I just die so much that I don't need the extra ammo and syringes
- It's like that Jedi bell curve graph and you're on the left side .
Real Helldivers pros use Increased Reinforcement Budget.
- Technically, real Helldivers bought Superior Packing Methodology and don't bring up the fact that it's inoperable so as not to piss off the Democracy Officer. 🥹😅
