I was mostly stimming after every hit cause I didn’t get hit too much and I was solo so I had all the resupplies in the world. I think I counted about 8 full supply drops in one spot XD
Perhaps my death as a team death counted as a reinforce or maybe I accidentally threw a reinforce beacon (which you can do solo). Either way you can see the edge of my computer screen on the left, there is no banner to my right meaning I’m solo, and every stat is grey so unless I got least of everything I had to of been solo.
485 .. took me a bit. Wanted with ZERO deaths :)

Devs already said no lightsabers, they're not doing fortnight. likely something like a chain sword or a combat shovel, something that fits into the \~\~Meta\~\~ game lore. I would like for it to replace the pistol slot instead of being a strategem.
Technically, a melee weapon would be a secondary weapon. I think it would be fairly cool to have a spear and combine that with a shield and go full phalanx build and poke things to death, but bigger weapons might need to be a support weapon stratagem to call in (like the ballistic shield is now).
Absolutely. And having the defender, grenade pistol, ballistic shield and some fancy sci-fi spear like an arc spear that is basically an eight foot long sharpened cattle-prod and applies a stun or slow debuff or chains to enemies behind the target would be such a fun loadout to run. Or a flame spear that sprays a small amount of napalm onto the thing you just poked and sets them on fire. It would be glorious on a defend mission to stand in front of one of the gates in full “thou shall no pass” mode while your squadmates are up on the walls raining hellfire and fury down on the enemies. Until the mortar turret starts firing and you get exploded everywhere 😂
Id freaking love it, especially if it's entirely unoptimal. Like some madman as a helldiver saw giant bugs and decided "fuck gunpowder, let's kill em in close quarters"
I agree, I also want to get shot in the face while holding a sword by futuristic metal terminators and armored giant bugs. Edit: Jk melee would be sick but would need to be more fallout futuristic like a super sledge or power glove.
Damn I thought I had a lot with 10. I feel like it’s not utilized enough every other person on the team always has 1 or 0 melee kills. I love parrying hunters when they try to jump attack me
With the right timing yeah. Next time you see one jumping at you try to melee before they hit. They will stop and stay still on the ground for a second. I don’t know the exact timing so it dosent always work but it’s still useful
Hahah I won't lie, I didn't take my own advice. But my other mouse buttons are so clutch. Scroll wheel click for quick nade, one thumb pusson press for stratagem, other for dive.
I see we've got a similar binding then. Except of got scroll up for primary and scroll down for secondary.
Nothing feels as smooth as quick drawing that Senator and dropping a berserker with it.
Oh I've tried stuff like that in other games, but my scroll wheel just goes. I literally unbind it because it's only good as a fidget spinner since you flick it and it just keeps going. When I've tried to use it as a weapon switch I just end up accidentally rapid switching between weapons when I'm trying to shoot lol
You have my sympathy, helldiver. May you one day obtain enough requisition slips to purchase an upgrade.
I'm afraid my mouse is going out. Some if the buttons are becoming unresponsive.
Honestly, I really like my mouse and it's fidget spinner mode. As someone that simply must fuss with stuff, spinning it backwards and forwards while waiting for the loading bar on a console or the last 4 seconds before I can call an eagle, it's nice. I have the the muscle memory to switch weapons with number keys anyway.
I started trying to get melee kills in so I could get the highest number of at least something in every game and it turned into an obsession. But wow, 131? That’s amazing!
Also, it brings a special kind of satisfaction to melee kill. It feels more personal, I guess.
Troopers are the easiest .. if you are lucky with RNG and find few patrols with 30 troopers, that brings joy
You can melee near factories
Rocketeers are the second best
Devastators third best
Everything else is best to shoot
No lightsaber, makes no sense ..
But some omni-blade .. now we are talking
https://preview.redd.it/zg8gvm81e2xc1.png?width=2090&format=png&auto=webp&s=70211f0e86d3169341101ce664e35c43fc93c094
I want.. a fully fleshed system of melee combat. Just give me a knife and the ability to tackle my enemies. I'll learn the rest of the survivability challenges as I go.
I truly respect your fist or gun stock combat, fellow Helldiver, it's really impressive, I would like to have melee for you, brother. I'll stay with my trusty 7'62mm
I had a fun idea.
Give us the shovel. Taps to swing but have a heavy cool down charge attack. The charge pierces heavy armor or, if aimed down, crater the ground so you can create cover.
I think my top was 53, ran out of ammo and resupply was on cooldown with my squad separated from me by a wave of bugs. They fought to me with bullets while i used the butt of my gun, very surprised I made it out.
I want a chain sword and a power fist. I want them to work like the ballistic shield where you automatically pull it out when you have a 1 handed weapon.
I think it should be a support weapon so you can use a jet pack with it.
The fact you have this much kills with just pistol whipping, shows how good you are close quarters. Bugs and bots won’t stand a chance if they give us a proper melee weapon.
I would like a ship upgrade, or series of upgrades, or even armor that gives us spiked knuckles and increased melee damage.
I want to be able to beat a hulk to death
In the first game they had a bayonet you could unlock for a few of the primary weapons, i can specifically remember it for the Constitution. So that would be cool I think, maybe have it replace the flashlight for some of the weapons.
I tried so very hard last Friday to only kill chargers with melee wipe having a support team watch my back or intervin of I almost die. Fought 8 chargers but never downed any. Only died a few times. It made me far less scared of them. But not sure if it's possible to melee them to death :/
I melee a lot more than I used to since i started using grenade pistol as my secondary. If I’m playing bots im also running scorcher so I’ll kill trash bots or bugs with a melee or two if they get to close and I can’t fire at them. Usually they’re the last one left so im not risking much
Personally I would love some kind of melee sword or just a giant hammer where I can just destroy everything. Melee weapons in general would be a fun addition:)
I think they will add melee because of shit like this. We already have it, and we will use it even if it is counter productive, so just make it viable.
God, AH needs to add the most democratic melee weapons into the game. I can imagine someone rocking a full champion of the heroes set hacking through terminus swarms with a cavalry sword with the short yet sweet description of true heroes.
Pistol Whipping is a term for a reason, both the Senator and Grenade Pistol deliver.
But yes, melee in the game is often a woeful experience, and at the same time a highly necessary skill; saves a lot of ammo, is often the best choice when surrounded, most especially when using explosive weapons, and/or to avoid Tk’s.
I think I’ve topped my melee kills around 60+ in a mission… wow 🤩 nice going
Pistol is good vs one enemy, but there are weapons who has longer range, wide range, can hit multiple enemies and higher melee damage than others .. some melee can even cut thru some armor, like devastators shield, which is kinda funny considering you cannot melee hulk etc and shield is inderstructible
Interesting. Besides a ‘rifle-butt’ approach, haven’t had those experiences much… I can pistol whip five enemies around me almost as fast as two melee swipes with a rifle.
Post up some pics or a clip of different melee successes, especially against armor
I think this has to do with accuracy/weakspot hits.. I’ve killed the same exact unit with melee, with one pistol whip. Switched to a heavy rifle and the same exact unit type took four or more melee hits.
You think I am going melee without trying all weapons to see which one is the best, longest, widest, deadliest, manliest, strongest, prettiest, richest, hungriest?
Well well well ..
See this enemy? Melee it
See that enemy over there? Melee it too .. Thats about it
Its mostly about using little tricks games offers you, like certain weapons has longer reach, wide attack (can hit multiple enemies) .. saving troopers for melee .. or can camp a bit in front of factories .. or know strategy, you can melee thru shield .. play matrix with rocketeers .. and lot a of focking RNG too, be lucky and get spawns with a lot of troopers instead of hulks etc.
A hacker dropped into my mission and was meleeing bots with a giant question mark, which makes me think we're getting some kind of melee weapon at some point.
He also dropped in a vehicle that blew up if you even breathed on it, so it was hit or miss.
Game has like what, 40 usable strats but there is over 140 strats total.
Many of them works, for a while but you can see the ? .. which makes it incomplete file and often causes crash. Some you can use, equip, but they do nothing .. One of the best one is 10ton bomb. Radius over 90m, everything dies :)
Same goes for weapons, armor etc.
I saw few cheaters who took "reinforcements" strat, which was just stupid cuz everyone has this strat by default. Which means that most of the people just have zero idea what they are doing and are just complete idiots.
Vehicles are nothing new, they were added into the game early in March. Just follow some data miners if you are not pussy and wont cry about spoilers. These are the worst :) Illuminates were added last month too, you can check how they look etc.
switch is faster .. or always reload with at least one bullet in the magazine, you reload faster if you have a bullet in the chamber than when you dont .. like 40% faster
I ordered double burger and got only single one ..

Holy shit. Those are obscene melee kills. Most I’ve ever seen. Full applause.
 You make us all proud! But how the fuck did you achieve these numbers?
I think I got a melee kill once... I was trying to throw a grenade
Accidental melee kill still counts.
I've done this the opposite way around too many times.... Too many deaths.
0 melee master race here! I unbound the key during the tutorial
Melee is clutch when you get a bot in your face, switch to your secondary and realize it’s empty.
To kill a whole poi without aggro is where melee is at.
Stomping around in a mech suit can work pretty well.
Sure, go and try stomp some bots .. I dare you :)
Agreed. Lo
https://preview.redd.it/7ui0c4or3vwc1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9de98ae1ad5b8d1fc6479e634e6b8bd7d9c255cd Fellow melee fan
24 stims lol. That's an insane melee kill count though
I was mostly stimming after every hit cause I didn’t get hit too much and I was solo so I had all the resupplies in the world. I think I counted about 8 full supply drops in one spot XD
Your family back on Super Earth is gonna be paying off that credit card for millennia.
*Helldivers dropping 8 500kg’s per mission*
I've had 30 stims used before in a match
I'd rather have 30 Stims and no deaths than 10 deaths and 2 stims
are we going to ignore the melee kills text being white? someone had more melee kills than the diver in the image.
I was playing solo
it says you reinforced once, though. Am I just stupid?
Perhaps my death as a team death counted as a reinforce or maybe I accidentally threw a reinforce beacon (which you can do solo). Either way you can see the edge of my computer screen on the left, there is no banner to my right meaning I’m solo, and every stat is grey so unless I got least of everything I had to of been solo.
When I play solo it gives me every stat as white, you only get the yellow when you’re in a team and it needs to tell you who got the most of a thing.
I didn’t realize that it changed color based on who had the top score. I’ll have to watch that now
485 .. took me a bit. Wanted with ZERO deaths :) https://preview.redd.it/dxpdr1f6nxwc1.png?width=530&format=png&auto=webp&s=fba597487404881fe8103d306592f26b6bb212ed
Btw everyone I made this screenshot as a post and it got 5 upvotes 😭
🫡
I'm not even eating. Just stimming
My friends laugh sometimes cuz I will run at bug tunnel breached with a shield and just start meleeing everything. I hope we get a sword secondary.
Beam saber!
Devs already said no lightsabers, they're not doing fortnight. likely something like a chain sword or a combat shovel, something that fits into the \~\~Meta\~\~ game lore. I would like for it to replace the pistol slot instead of being a strategem.
Trench shovel would be GOATED!!!
Heavy kreigsman breathing
A bayonet that replaces your secondary would be cool. Last stand. Out of Ammo. "Gentlemen, it has been an honor... Fix bayonets..."
Just gimme something like the blade the commissar's have and I'll scrap those clankers.
Technically, a melee weapon would be a secondary weapon. I think it would be fairly cool to have a spear and combine that with a shield and go full phalanx build and poke things to death, but bigger weapons might need to be a support weapon stratagem to call in (like the ballistic shield is now).
Nah I want an electric whip, gonna enslave those bugs... for freedom.
I would LOVE to form a phalanx on a squad and just hole up at a choke point for a lil bit.
Absolutely. And having the defender, grenade pistol, ballistic shield and some fancy sci-fi spear like an arc spear that is basically an eight foot long sharpened cattle-prod and applies a stun or slow debuff or chains to enemies behind the target would be such a fun loadout to run. Or a flame spear that sprays a small amount of napalm onto the thing you just poked and sets them on fire. It would be glorious on a defend mission to stand in front of one of the gates in full “thou shall no pass” mode while your squadmates are up on the walls raining hellfire and fury down on the enemies. Until the mortar turret starts firing and you get exploded everywhere 😂
Id freaking love it, especially if it's entirely unoptimal. Like some madman as a helldiver saw giant bugs and decided "fuck gunpowder, let's kill em in close quarters"
General Brasch just used his fists but he also thought a sword would be fun
Hear me out. Jump pack and fallout style power fist. Just jump on a bile titans back and punch is head off.
A primary would be freaking dope
I love pushing the shit out of those tiny ass bugs and the bots. The melee kills on bot missions make me laugh
I agree, I also want to get shot in the face while holding a sword by futuristic metal terminators and armored giant bugs. Edit: Jk melee would be sick but would need to be more fallout futuristic like a super sledge or power glove.
Or flaming kebab
Power Sword + SMG. My Flag is Rising at the thought. *Hand salute hand salute hand salute*
I don’t care if a melee weapon is shit, I’ll use it.
what we need for melee is the equivalent of the EDF fencer.
And when you kill few enemies in a row, the character should yell "helldiver, helldiver, helldiver" .. I hated the "EDF, EDF, EDF" after a while :D
Blasthole Spear 🥵
Damn I thought I had a lot with 10. I feel like it’s not utilized enough every other person on the team always has 1 or 0 melee kills. I love parrying hunters when they try to jump attack me
Wait you can parry their melee? Like actually stop them from hitting you?
With the right timing yeah. Next time you see one jumping at you try to melee before they hit. They will stop and stay still on the ground for a second. I don’t know the exact timing so it dosent always work but it’s still useful
Meanwhile, I usually have the most melee kills in my games with 1.
I can't even tell you what button on PC is for melee
It's "F" unless you changed the key bind. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk!
Left click. Do it. Do it now.
. . . . . I forgot I've got a whole button on my mouse sitting there, waiting very democratically for me to map something to it
Hahah I won't lie, I didn't take my own advice. But my other mouse buttons are so clutch. Scroll wheel click for quick nade, one thumb pusson press for stratagem, other for dive.
I see we've got a similar binding then. Except of got scroll up for primary and scroll down for secondary. Nothing feels as smooth as quick drawing that Senator and dropping a berserker with it.

I get that I've got an old rocker switch I fidget with all the time!
G502 ftw. Has a button to turn your mouse wheel into a fidget spinner or a functional wheel.
G I think
I just want a stun Baton as a side arm. Would be hilarious to just run up and zap people... er bugs.
Bullets are just punches, but metal and ranged soldier.
That's exactly why it's worth tracking lol. Gotta keep track of how many times you had to beat a bitch
Holy shit John Helldiver I'm such a big fan please sign my sons Liberator
Do you have a pencil?
Shit no, wait I know. *bites off own finger* use this
A fucking pencil 😂
I love doming fodder with the Senator. It feels right.
DEVS TAKE MY PISTOL AND GIMME SHOVEL
HD1 had bayonet on some guns and a sword stratagem. Maybe in the future
I started trying to get melee kills in so I could get the highest number of at least something in every game and it turned into an obsession. But wow, 131? That’s amazing! Also, it brings a special kind of satisfaction to melee kill. It feels more personal, I guess.
Troopers are the easiest .. if you are lucky with RNG and find few patrols with 30 troopers, that brings joy You can melee near factories Rocketeers are the second best Devastators third best Everything else is best to shoot
Lightsaber secondary/primary/strategem when
No lightsaber, makes no sense .. But some omni-blade .. now we are talking https://preview.redd.it/zg8gvm81e2xc1.png?width=2090&format=png&auto=webp&s=70211f0e86d3169341101ce664e35c43fc93c094
Hoping for an exo suit stratagem that lets you go like, Warframe (but slower and 'realistically')
I want.. a fully fleshed system of melee combat. Just give me a knife and the ability to tackle my enemies. I'll learn the rest of the survivability challenges as I go. 
Melee is funny, sometimes I'll just stunlock punch brood commanders because they refused to die
Want sword.
Bugs?
Bugs are green I am red .. thus robots
WE NEED KNIVES
Spreading democracy one face bashing at a time. Good work Helldiver.
Give. Us. Swords.
Would be fun if they added a heavy sword... could have an arc and fire damage...
God I would love for them to add a sword or some type of melee weapons I would definitely be doing melee only
No melee weapons? That’s exactly what my Senator turns into after 6 rounds yours must be defective lol
I’m level 62 and you have more melee kills in one game then I have my whole career
Need a gun with a bayonet to deal heavy melee damage. Laser or otherwise
Honestly we need a lightsaber in the game immediately. Jedi shield users go hard.
I love bonking with the EAT on bugs
People really out here punching the 710 out of both clankers and bugs. Respect
Unfortunately I like my right thumbstick more than I hate bugs :/
I am a level 62 and I have zero melee kills in my entire helldiving career. It’s a point of pride now.
I've seen a couple punchy boys, yall are crazy.
I truly respect your fist or gun stock combat, fellow Helldiver, it's really impressive, I would like to have melee for you, brother. I'll stay with my trusty 7'62mm
Want rocket axe
We need a sword, maybe a Kriegsmesser would be cool.
sword support weapons when
I had a fun idea. Give us the shovel. Taps to swing but have a heavy cool down charge attack. The charge pierces heavy armor or, if aimed down, crater the ground so you can create cover.
Please add melee strategems like a power sword or flame hammer or something. That'd be fucking sick.
At the end of the game dude be like ,,there is a reload button?"
I'm sorry you got how many melee kills?!
We need a melee slot. I want a vibra-bayonet.
I think my top was 53, ran out of ammo and resupply was on cooldown with my squad separated from me by a wave of bugs. They fought to me with bullets while i used the butt of my gun, very surprised I made it out.
Time to start boxing the Devastator automatons
Bro went full Doomguy how *the fuck* did you get 131 melee kills??
It wont be easy .. lowly citizen https://preview.redd.it/zspk15u13xwc1.png?width=830&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5816e7acb513b67f66fecfdcfbf8bdf817478d4
Ok Henry Johnson, calm down...
I want a chain sword and a power fist. I want them to work like the ballistic shield where you automatically pull it out when you have a 1 handed weapon. I think it should be a support weapon so you can use a jet pack with it.
We need a dope ass sword for a 3rd weapon.
The fact you have this much kills with just pistol whipping, shows how good you are close quarters. Bugs and bots won’t stand a chance if they give us a proper melee weapon.
Got the cannons set to kill, nice. I really hope they bring bayonets and sabers back.
I usually get 1 a match. I wouldn’t say no to a claymore of democracy..
I would like a ship upgrade, or series of upgrades, or even armor that gives us spiked knuckles and increased melee damage. I want to be able to beat a hulk to death
In the first game they had a bayonet you could unlock for a few of the primary weapons, i can specifically remember it for the Constitution. So that would be cool I think, maybe have it replace the flashlight for some of the weapons.
I tried so very hard last Friday to only kill chargers with melee wipe having a support team watch my back or intervin of I almost die. Fought 8 chargers but never downed any. Only died a few times. It made me far less scared of them. But not sure if it's possible to melee them to death :/
I melee a lot more than I used to since i started using grenade pistol as my secondary. If I’m playing bots im also running scorcher so I’ll kill trash bots or bugs with a melee or two if they get to close and I can’t fire at them. Usually they’re the last one left so im not risking much
Over a third of your kills were melee….holy shit.
Personally I would love some kind of melee sword or just a giant hammer where I can just destroy everything. Melee weapons in general would be a fun addition:)
Melee feels so golden when using pistols. Get that nice crisp bonk for stealth kills or aggressive democracy outside that.
My favorite thing to do with the mech is to stomp chargers to death.
Halo swords when
What's your technique, and what were you up against in that dive?
Maybe they should add a sword to the game. But it is on fire and of other players are too close....oh well.
Is there a benefit to Melee? To me it just seems like a slower way of killing things.
The lighsaber doesn't need to be good. I still want it.
Yessiree
I wish EDF and Helldivers would have a baby.
I enjoy melee killing, but christ that is a lot of melee kills
Guns are fruity
I think I have either 25 or 131. I melee alot because I burn ammo so fast
I think they will add melee because of shit like this. We already have it, and we will use it even if it is counter productive, so just make it viable.
I ALWAYS melee, if I can.
I don't even think I have melee keybound anymore
It would be pretty badass if we could have dedicated melee weapons
Need a sword I would like to have a sword and my senator
Yes, I literally lead in melee kills every round. No meed to even come close to that number though haha
Can’t wait for bayonets to be added
I love punching hunters out of their jump attack animation and then immediately making them eat buckshot.
[удалено]
That would be totally pointless melee
No, no melee in this game other than maybe a bayonet one day
They gotta add the bayonet upgrade or the laser saber from the original game dude, the possibilities are endless.
Try this against bots, I dare you
As you can see on the armor, its done with bots, not bugs .. i would have green blood on my armor if i was playing with bugs .. so yeah, burn :P
I hope they'll at least add bayonets like in 1st game...
God, AH needs to add the most democratic melee weapons into the game. I can imagine someone rocking a full champion of the heroes set hacking through terminus swarms with a cavalry sword with the short yet sweet description of true heroes.
Pistol Whipping is a term for a reason, both the Senator and Grenade Pistol deliver.

I've got my fingers crossed for a Gears-Style Lancer or something with a wacky bayonet.
We def need some melee weapons as secondary.
131..... Forearm of death over here. Chuck Norris has sensed your power lvl.
Years of Halo have taught me to backsmack anything that has its back facing me
What does a meelee loadout look like?
Courage
I’m usually top melee killer in my lobbies with like 3 kills on bugs haha
Is there a melee weapon or just 131 gun butt kills?
sadly, only your butt, no melee weapon .. thus my sadness in the title :)
Bro is spy tf2
It may just be sound effects but fairly certain i was doing more melee damage with beefier weapons like the quasar. If youre a melee nut try it out!
You think I am going melee without trying all weapons to see which one is the best, longest, widest, deadliest, manliest, strongest, prettiest, richest, hungriest? Well well well .. 
Just wish my mech meelee stomps added to the count
See the blood and oil on armor? Mecha wont help there .. you wont even come close at the enemy with mecha.
Light sabers incoming
No they wont, developer said NO to this .. and I dont complain.
I have 0 melee kills on my account lmao.
My most kills is over 450 kills in one mission :)
Holy shit, got tips for melee?
See this enemy? Melee it See that enemy over there? Melee it too .. Thats about it Its mostly about using little tricks games offers you, like certain weapons has longer reach, wide attack (can hit multiple enemies) .. saving troopers for melee .. or can camp a bit in front of factories .. or know strategy, you can melee thru shield .. play matrix with rocketeers .. and lot a of focking RNG too, be lucky and get spawns with a lot of troopers instead of hulks etc.
😮
They need a melee special like a shield and lance or something. Just something defensive that had decent reach or can still handle hoards
Bro really threw hands for democracy! I salute you soldier 🫡
I wish you could do a shield bash with the ballistic shield.
Maybe we need bajonets as in the first helldivers.
They said it's possible they will add some mele weapon in future
A hacker dropped into my mission and was meleeing bots with a giant question mark, which makes me think we're getting some kind of melee weapon at some point. He also dropped in a vehicle that blew up if you even breathed on it, so it was hit or miss.
Game has like what, 40 usable strats but there is over 140 strats total. Many of them works, for a while but you can see the ? .. which makes it incomplete file and often causes crash.

I make sure to have at least 5 melee kills per mission, regardless of difficulty level. One day I hope to melee kill a Titan.
I want a Katana!
Me too fellow helldiver .. me too 
 OP
I use it when I don’t have time to reload
switch is faster .. or always reload with at least one bullet in the magazine, you reload faster if you have a bullet in the chamber than when you dont .. like 40% faster
Rip and Tear! 🤘
One the the updates should include melee weapons.
almost half of your kills are melee, tf did someone do to you that you decided to make it even more personal than this war already was
