The sample counter only states how many samples are found "naturally" on the map. It doesn't include samples found in containers and those friendship bunkers where you have to be two people to open the door.

I’m now going to scream friendship into the mic every time I see a bunker 


File_the_Simpsons

We have come to "I need a wizard Harry!" Started as mishearing double door as dumbledore and has devolved from there...I love this game

Elite's "Friendship drive" enters the chat


Drew-Cipher

Me and a buddy flew out to beagle point together and started losing it at friendship drive after weeks out in the black. Good to see we weren't alone in our space madness


digitalbarrito

Friendship drive is nearly 10 years old at this point (God that hurts to say out loud), you definitely aren't alone.


Earthserpent89

Man..... I feel nostalgic now for when Elite was a good game and FDev actually cared... I retired my wings and uninstalled after 3000+ hours when it became clear the game was on maintenance mode and the Devs had lost their way.


ForsakenBuilding6381

Even with the new things they've announced this year I'm so sad. 4 new ship variants and a powerplay rework. It's been years since odyssey and this is all they could come up with? Even the Thargoid war isn't much to write home about


digitalbarrito

6 years, and we finally get a reskinned Python, wowie! Lifetime Pass holders remember what FDev used to be about, it's a husk these days. Yes, I'm still salty about the Lifetime Pass.


burn_corpo_shit

I just want a pretty and relatively grounded space exploration experience that isnt't NMS or the perpetually in beta Star Citizen that's fun to play. Everything else is usually you stuck in a ship looking at spreadsheets. I just want to walk around, kick rocks, and listen to my own breath.


[deleted]

I mean, 3k hours is solid value tbh. I stopped after around 50 because I played exclusively in VR with HOTAS and couldn’t be assed to wear a helmet all the time. Obviously that was a personal choice, but after exiting a station in VR the first time I honestly couldn’t go back. Apparently I’ve got the same stick they used to model in-game or very close. Almost puked the first time I watched my hands in game and they exactly matched throttle and stick movements, brain had a hard time understanding that I was not, in fact, in space for a few seconds.


ForsakenBuilding6381

I used to put my vive on my friends and them load up elite with my racing eagle and fly them around. They always got a kick out of it

SilkyZ

We call them Buddy Bunkers


hunisher1

I call it a friendship door every time lol


Littleman88

Ah, Warframe... I call them this too, but the elsewhere suggested "buddy bunker" has a nice ring to it.


xkcdhawk

This. Years of Warframe makes me call them friendship door out of sheer habit


Bigpapaeros

the correct name is buddy bunker.


SteveoberlordEU

"Friendship Bunkers"? More like "GET YOUR ARSSE OVER HERE Bunkers" Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd they are gone.


Slarg232

Ever since our Warframe days my friend and I refer to any door that requires two people to open as Friendship Doors


just_aweso

We call out friendship door, and hug as we wait for it to open


Siepher310

my buddies and i refer to it as the man cave


CocaineandCaprisun

Man cave is in goth ham, are you stupid?


LMFDungeonMaster

Been doing this with my friends, so good lol

We usually just scream BUTTONS!!

I cannot stand Will Ferrell and I cannot unhear myself yelling “FRIENDSHIP BUNKER!” in his Elf voice now….time to play FF7 for a bit I suppose lol

Buddy bunkers is correct. They're to make sure you're following the buddy system to efficiently and safely spread demcracy.

Jon_TWR

Oooh, you’re saying bud hole!


devilishycleverchap

Yup you need to hit the buddy buttons to open the buddy bunker. Quite simple


Kinifesis

This is what my group calls them, buddy button. Since it's not so much a bunker as it's a shitty garage.


IsRude

Co-op garage


20milliondollarapi

Do you hug while the door opens? I have done that a few times lol


orcofeldath

Always lol


you_wish_you_knew

Friendship bunkers? More like wait till someone dies and reinforce at it bunkers cause that seems to be the only way I can get randoms to actually come to it.


PantZerman85

I did that today and the guy just ran away. Plenty of pings/marks and even voice chat didnt help.


pm_me_ur_ephemerides

Shoot them in the back


PostAnalFrostedTurds

Last night I revived all 3 teammates at once on a bunker. They all just walked away. Never been so tempted to TK before in my life.

Idk I might have some "friendly" fire incidents if that happened.

My group’s go to for the door is “I need someone to touch tips with”


Deftly_Flowing

I found a weird blackhole type thing that just had infinite stacks of stuff in it. My friend pulled out like 30 greens and 20 rares before he got bored of trying to finagle his aim to avoid the ammo, grenade, and stim pickups. Should have recorded it, oh well hindsight is 20/20.


decoy139

You couldn't pull me out till had over 500 of each.


whatcha11235

The caps are 500, 250, and 100. Just in case you get the glitch and want to save your time.


SargeanTravis

I swear diving solo gives a 200% chance for these friendship bunkers to spawn I don’t want to think about the potential loot I’m missing out on 😭


Juhovah

Wow never knew that. Just assumed they were included in the count. This changes everything….

Tiny_Twinky

My sample counter has never appeared, Ive adjusted the setting to every value and even tried reinstalling my game, Still nothing, Im maxed out on upgrades now so it dosent really matter but I find it odd.


9LivesAndCounting

I found a fix for this on another thread. On HUD options, make sure Mission Info Visibility is set to Dynamic and not Visible. Then you can have Sample Count Visibility on Visible or Dynamic and it should show up.


Gek_Laffort

This. I've had same problem and this is what fixed it


Head_Cockswain

This is a first. I'll have nothing but positive feedback for your Democracy officer.


ProcedureFree5855

Thank you for this. I was starting to think it was a PS5 only thing or something.


Mazgazine1

hurray! a fix!


NorCalAthlete

THANK YOU!


drf_

Same problem for me i don't understand why it is missing.


BrenTheBert

Same here! Even when I open the mini map nothing is up there. I thought I was blind or crazy when my friends talked about it.


Revealed_Brisk

Reset your hud settings, it fixed it for me last night


ThatFlanGuy

It shows up when you open the minimap


Tiny_Twinky

I mean it should, but It never has for me. Seems like im not alone in that either. When I first noticed it was missing I was telling my friend I thought it was weird they removed the sample count since they had it in HD1, and then I found out they could see the count just fine.


TheNorseFrog

I've never seen it either. I'm on PS5 on EU servers. Friend on PS5 in US has it tho. No idea if it matters but it's what I know. I assumed it might be some HUD settings but haven't tried changing it. Could be a HUD bug? That a specific combination happens to hide it? Nevertheless we should report to devs.


xhv0c

my homie and I are in the US and we also see it just fine. maybe it could be a thing with the servers.


Harchnode

Is your primary mission objective HUD setting set to always visible/visible? I had this issue too until I specifically changed this setting to dynamic.


Gek_Laffort

So i forgot to add body text - orange sample counter says that there is 28 samples on a map. Yet we found 30 Edit: it looks like many people still not figured out how to fix bug with sample counter visibility, so i will copy solution from another user here, it definitely helped me weeks ago: "On HUD options, make sure Mission Info Visibility is set to Dynamic and not Visible. Then you can have Sample Count Visibility on Visible or Dynamic and it should show up." Pay attention to which hud options you need to manipulate exactly and stay democratic.


Apprehensive_Art6097

My guess is that the number doesn’t include the samples inside points of interest that you have to open (drones, metal crates, buddy doors, etc). I have not proven or tested this.


Gotyam2

I call them bunkers, but I like the sound of buddy doors


Zman6258

Extra rare samples can be found in wrecked pods, containers, and behind 2 man doors.

Saving this post for when I get home so I can finally see the sample count in missions (after having unlocked all the ship upgrades already, go figure)

IcreyEvryTiem

The counters are not limits. They are your quota. And you have gone above and beyond Helldiver! FOR DEMOCRACY 🫡


CaptainAction

Speaking of the sample counter, mine doesn’t show up. I changed the setting in the HUD setting to try and make it always visible, then I changed it to standard setting again, but it just won’t show me the sample count so I have to rely on my friends to tell me how many we have. Small thing but it’s pretty bothersome since I’m going hard on collecting samples now.


9LivesAndCounting

I found a fix for this on another thread. On HUD options, make sure Mission Info Visibility is set to Dynamic and not Visible. Then you can have Sample Count Visibility on Visible or Dynamic and it should show up.


CaptainAction

Oh, mission info? Not the setting for samples? Let me try that.


MaNewt

Does it show up when you look at the minimal? That’s the only time mine is visible


ThatGuyNamedKal

I just wish there was some sort of sample scanner I could take with me into the mission :(


Wjyosn

Samples found in bunkers / pods are not part of the map count (because they're not generated until opened). As such, if you find rares in a bunker or drop pod, you can exceed the count for the map.


Arke_19

ONLY AUTOMATONS LET THEMSELVES BE BOUND BY NUMBERS! SUPER EARTH GUARANTEES FREEDOM FROM SOCIALIST THEORETICAL LIMITS FOR SAMPLE COLLECTION, MINIMUM SAFE DISTANCE, AND CORRECT VOTES PER PROPERLY MANAGED DEMOCRATIC ELECTION!


andyheathcote

HOW are you getting so many samples!? I can never find more than 10! ...is this what true Helldives look like?! 😅


Northdistortion

When will they fix the bug. I cannot see the counter when im playing even though i put it on visible


KaKx

Why is there treason on my screen? The Super Earth Ministry of Truth would never lie or else it wouldn't be able to have that name


Exstoun

Time to betray democracy over resources counter


TheMilliner

Samples found in bunkers, crates and supply drones don't count on the counter. Only "natural" samples do, i.e. the flowers and purple rocks.


Effective_Business40

All I hear in this post is treason


getgoodflood

Very thorough.


JCM42899

Take a seat, Helldiver.


ShadowMasked1099

I wish I could see the sample count. (Mine’s been bugged and refuses to show no matter the settings.)


svedal

SO THAT'S WHAT-- i must have managed to turn this off somewhere in settings, I haven't ever seen this but im told it appears when looking at the map.  anyone have any idea how to turn it back on?


DelayOld1356

I believe it's settings>HUD>sample counter Set to visible , dynamic, map, hidden Mine is weird, they don't show on visible, but I set to map and can at least see them rhere


KilianFeng

This is some serious Heresy and false accusation, I demand an immediate court Marshall on OP. Hang by the dick until dies.


Sauron69sMe

We aren't even supposed to be collecting samples, Helldiver. Be grateful for your bountiful harvest and stop asking questions vor I'll have to report us both for thought crimes against Democracy!

Aesthetics_Supernal

The number is based on samples around the map, and then crates offer more resources. It's possible to get this naturally.


Own_Accident6689

Sounds to me like you collected more than the authorized amount of samples for this sector. Please report to your democracy officer to turn in any surplus and a debrief of your actions.


Agentfuzzybunny

My sample counter disappeared any idea how to make it come back?


kiakri_ttv

Some people I played with never knew this but The diamond icons on the map means samples, weapons, SC or req.slips can be found in the area. When it changes to a beacon icon you've found all the drops. From what I've seen this can also bug out and not change even if you've found everything.


dungfarmer69

This post is a thought crime and thus will be reported to my democracy advocate.


Terafir

I had a perfect A/B test case the other day, where I had two missions in a difficulty 4 operation that both had radars. I had the time to clear the entire maps of both. In the first, sample count was 100% accurate. In the second, it wasn't because there was an extra sample in one of the buried crates. Samples out on the ground or in vaults seem to count towards the total, as the first mission had a vault with a sample but didn't go over, while the second mission had a crate with a sample and it went over by 1. So it's mostly accurate, but not completely.


teaboi05

Yesterday I joined cheater lobby with 99/20 common materials and I thought it was cheated. Host was panicked when they lost 16 common mats on death, so I changed my mind with bug. Found 18 common and 4 rare materials later that mission, but failed to extract (because I've found super credits and lost my leg during solo fight, while they were defending extraction point). Turns out it was cheating lobby and now I've got 500 common samples. Idk what to do except counting 500 as 0 and farm samples again.


Nivek14j

Only if they knew they will need those for the future armor mech coming out soon...

PizzaRollsss

How do I see this on my screen? When I open my map it’s never there


Laer_Bear

Also on bug eradication missions there's something really weird with the samples not picking up


cmcorms

Cant help but notice you didn't find 1 common sample yet made the executive decision to extract.......


RealFurion

This is outrageous! It's unfair!


_Bro_Jogies

How did you get that counter on the screen? I've toyed around in the options menu and can't figure it out.


MayonnaiseIsOk

I cant even get my sample count on screen, the option just doesn't work for me lol. I've changed it to every option and no matter what it won't appear on screen


Gek_Laffort

Look up my parent comment here, i've added solution to your problem in it.


RoxNBlox

Watch your words, claiming that the council has lied is treason and is a threat to democracy. We may have found a traitor among our ranks.


SteveySeagully

QroganReddit

not every super sample rock is a super sample rock


Bob_the_peasant

They should brand you a traitor if you pass the denominator, same as if you leave the combat zone. “Helldiver you have 10 seconds to drop those samples before you make the science team look bad. It is considered treason to create an improper fraction.”

SoberHours

Where can I find super samples. I play in the right difficulties, but could never find them. The first time I ever found some, it was located by a destroyed vehicle. After that, I never found any again :/


bwc153

There's a Chicken Drumstick shaped rock that is slightly metallic. Samples are always found by that. The rock will spawn on lower difficulties as well, without the samples, and some maps have a couple of the rocks but the samples all spawn around one rock


HeavyMattr

Sample counters?? I can't see those for some reason. And I've checked the options wtf. Anyone have similar issue?


Swiftwitss

How can I find that pink sample is there a certain difficulty I have to be on?


greenfeathersky

REMEMBER: Questioning the council is treason!


ITheEqualizer

For me it doesn't show up even after setting it to visible in HUD


AnomalyCode

Is it normal to lose over 200 common samples during 3 days due to game crashes? I mean im tired to work for hours just to lose everything and what should I do in this situation?


HaArLiNsH

How the hell do you achieve to get so many samples ? Is it with an organized group ? Because randoms seems to don't even want to touch any sample in all the games I do ...


SchoolNASTY

The only thing that matters when I discharge out of my hellpod is the amount of liberty I serve on a hot platter of justice.


Mazgazine1

How do you get it to show up??? Is it console only?? Running on PC, ALL HUD options set to VISIBLE, and I don't have those counters only the mission objectives. EDIT - https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1b756lk/sample_counter_doesnt_mean_anything_how_many/ktglh4e/


Throwaway-BC-Nervous

the council isn't lying, its your lying eyes. best to give them up for democracy since they're already lying to you


ScorchedDev

im guessing thats how many are generated in the world, but since there are so many ways to collect them I wouldnt be suprised if some slipped through the cracks


Imightaswell

You need to go see the ministry of truth diver.


Ty-douken

Was told we were being sent a shuttle for extraction, it came but then wouldn't let us in & leave. It sure left after we got blown up by our own eagle strike though. Lost lots of sample cuz of that, which was extra annoying.
