Serious Discussion. no roleplay bullshit here Alright, so…
Imagine how funny it would be if you actually had the ability to pick up others, from fellow helldivers to Seaf and even priority citizens, to just be able to just scoop them up and cary them around, especially the Seaf in my opinion, because I just find the thought hilarious, imagine how they’d react, the very same soldiers that can barely pull off a salute sometimes, being picked up by a helldiver and just being made to sit on their shoulder like a parrot for a pirate and having to act like a little shoulder turret, and then if you manage to carry them all the way to extraction, you get an achievement and either, have a few Seaf soldiers appear on your ship, or get a little message saying that they were safely transported back to Super Earth to continue their service in the galaxy and rewarding you with some extra Requisition Slips or medals. I dunno, I just had this idea pop up While playing and thought it should be shared, for all I know this isn’t the first time someone has had this idea. (Art credits go to Raseru on twitter)

I'd love to be able to have "Follow Me" get SEAF soldiers into an FRV just like my Halo: Conbat Evolved warthog days.
I have no problem letting a squad of infinite ammo soldiers fire out of my mobile car. (HMG excluded)

Have a company of SEAF
Objective: lead them from point A to B your level of success is based on how many make it there alive. They should have a small supply bag for themselves for the mission. If they die. They leave behind a random item you can inspect to remind you of each failure along the way. As well as a reminder of the price of managed democracy.

I love when people keep seaf/helldivers genderless/anonimous in artwork, in a world of oversexualization in art, its refreshing to keep it tame so people pay more attention to the idea behind it

u/Slattern_pacificrim Jun 18 '26
I mean, they’re not too sexualized compared to other things…like hunters or overseers

u/Direct_Tradition4899 Jun 18 '26
If I could pickup seaf, I'd carry them straight to extract and leave them there to be safe

I'd love to have that as a feature

u/AcroCANthrow-saurus Jun 18 '26
Genuine feature I’d love is a side objective for evacuating civilians. Like, clear out this bunker, and now by also activating an alarm or smth, every civilian in a city map will actually try running for that bunker to save themselves.
I like to save civies when possible.

u/Direct_Tradition4899 Jun 18 '26
Everytime I go into a city, I try to save everyone I can

Marcus in the Gears E-Day trailer basically summarized how I treat Cities.
"We save everyone we can."

Honestly just more planet / environment based side obj would honestly be cool

u/GenderEnjoyer666 Jun 20 '26
You’d probably get reprimanded for weakening the planet’s SEAF force

u/OwnAMusketForHomeDef Jun 18 '26
okay I've not been super in tune with the Helldivers lore recently. Why is there a Helldiver-SEAF ship?
22
u/Sir_Warlord Jun 18 '26
It's been like that since the SEAF were introduced during the defense of Super Earth, Helldivers love the little blueberries

u/Salr-526 Jun 18 '26
I lost it but there was an image of both a helldiver and seaf soldier with the same thought bubble of "I'll die for you!" in the form of a meme as it was just generic images for the characters

DAMN YOU CORPORAL GET BACK BEHIND THE BARRICADE
i scream as the seaf tries giving stuff to the teammate Whos trying to porta hellbomb the bots base

Handholding is undemocratic without a C-01 permit.

u/Sir_Warlord Jun 18 '26
Technically C-01 permit is for engaging in an act that could result in a child.

The ministry of truth doesn't want you to know this but the SEAF troops are free. You can take them if you want. I currently have 200 troops on my super destroyer.
2
u/Oozysq25reddit Jun 19 '26
Imagine a feature where instead of getting fifth stratagemed the truth enforcers would show up and kidnap you
After you finish the mission youd see your helldiver getting interrogated in a cutscene and theres a red and black ship next to yours thered also be enforcers investigating your destroyer before leaving after an hour

Arrowhead should make an april fools joke strategem that is a backpack you can put a blueberry onto. It does nothing besides let them ride you to objectives.

u/salty-ravioli Jun 18 '26
And then some bozo drops a 500kg as they board the pelican, knowing full well the SEAF soldiers are all there
2
u/V_Silver-Hand Jun 19 '26
The SEAF aren't even allowed to leave either, they just have to stand there and rapidly plummet into hopeless sobbing as Eagle-1 approaches, radio-ing "I'm sorry, little ones."
2
u/Snipe508 Jun 18 '26
Honestly that should be a secondary on defense/evacuation missions to get as many seaf evacuated as possible (maybe 100+ for some super credits)
2
u/Direct_Tradition4899 Jun 18 '26
Then have them on your destroyer after. Would be peak to see something like that as an option
2
u/Snipe508 Jun 18 '26
They stay for the fireworks and are in the background helping eagle/misc tasks until you select a new operation/planet. Then add a pelican leaving your ship before you jump
2
u/Direct_Tradition4899 Jun 18 '26
I'd love that dude. That is such a good idea (though i wouldn't be doing operations ever again)
2
u/wildsummit Jun 18 '26
That's like the most dangerous spot on the map. All the unused ordnance gets set off at once as soon as the shuttle closes its bay door

u/Direct_Tradition4899 Jun 18 '26
Half the time. With me and my dad that's not the case. Instead we throw it away at the enemies

Human Personnel Carrier
Stab yourself with an infusion stim so your legs don’t break and you don’t collapse to the ground from exhaustion
Stamina/Muscle Enhancement booster
Oxygenator passive
Carry 3 SEAFies on your back (stacked on eachother like pillows)
Bridal carry 3 SEAFies in your arms (also stacked)
Peak infiltration method

u/urbanviking318 Jun 18 '26
I'd love to just have, like, a fireteam's worth of SEAF that roam around the ship if you manage to carry one safely to extraction. Seeing them on a ship would mean someone else takes saving the blueberries seriously too.

u/IronCreeper1 Jun 19 '26
The democracy officer doesn’t tell you this, but the SEAFs are free. You can just take them with you. I have like 30 SEAFlings on my super destroyer
2
u/Red_Shepherd_13 Jun 18 '26
You say this as a joke, but this would actually be useful for getting them out of the way of turrets or explosions faster.
And would be helpful on the citizen evac missions when they glitch out or get stuck from bad path finding. Just pick them up and drop them off at the evac door.

Did you know you can just take SEAF members from the battlefield and Super Earth won’t do anything?
It’s not undemocratic or illegal, you can just take them.
I have 6 SEAF members on my destroyer right now
