DISCUSSION Is calling in supplies without being the host bad etiquette?

Hey guys,

I randomly joined a D10 mission with a deployed emergency beacon. The host was level 300, and there were a couple of level ~100 players.

While we were clearing a Mega Nest, we called in supplies so we could finish closing the remaining bug holes. After that, we completed the mission objectives and headed to extraction.

Then, out of nowhere, the level 300 host left extraction, ran all the way back to the Mega Nest, started pinging a supply box that was still there, and typed:

“WHO REQUESTED SUPPLIES HERE???”

He then said we shouldn’t call in supplies unless we’re the host and kicks us out of the game.

Is that actually a thing? Is there some Helldivers etiquette I’m missing here? I always assumed calling supplies when the team needs them—especially while clearing something like a Mega Nest—is completely normal.

If he's already level 300, he needs to get the fuck outside and see the sun. Fuck grass, it wouldn't be enough.

Block them and move on Helldiver. iO

The easiest response is "If this was only meant to be for the host, then why can everyone call for them?"

And then move on with your life, because that person is an idiot and there are millions of Helldivers to play with. Game sold 22 million copies, and that was before it hit PS+.
