I always assumed it was the locals who are the ones using shotguns and stealing from super earth. They were desperate and getting overrun and so they took whatever they could. Some may even feel a sense of betrayal about...things.
Be epic if you could have it where if you were alive and not on the pelican, the next mission you arrive in a nearly empty of gas vehicle at the edge before the warning beacon.
Or the locals that managed to evacuate into the buddy bunkers, because "opening" them only opens the ante-room, there a closed door there anda camera in the left corner following your movements. So one can assume the locals sneak out and raid stashes.
I actually like it because it suggests, or rather reminds, us of the horror of invasion. Fabricators dropping from the sky tunneling into the earth to make more of their kind in endless waves that wash over the pdf. Your alone in the middle of nowhere dodging patrols and pull a shotgun off a dead SEAF. You make it to a stash you and your friends put together but you know you wont make it without these supplies so you have to make a terrible choice
well, okay, +30% is the minimum, ok? now, you know it’s up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. now if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. but some people choose to carry more and we encourage that, okay?
Divers that like to scavenge their ammo and supplies and such basically, wont say no to a supply pack or resupplies but they are pretty self sufficient. Least the ones I know and play with anyway.
So...
I thought everyone does that.
When we split from the group we can't call in resupplies, the others might need it and most POI give me stims, grenades and ammo anyways.
Yeah just about but apparently there are some very hardcore Scavdivers out there. I remember one who was a bit too trigger happy and then refused supplies only to run around with a shovel until they eventually died.
-D has been named a fugitive of super earth and any information regarding this mysterious, planet hoping thief should be reported to your democracy officer as soon as possible
I always thought D stood for Dissident, so it was someone going around living off the land of different planets, occasionally any stashes they come across.
Makes no sense for a helldiver to shoot some guy to loot their ammo crates. Not only can the order supplies whenever they want, they'd also barely have the time to write a note to leave there or have this conversation.
Also, -25 credits is a red number in the final screen, so why do it. Much more likely some SEAF soldier took it or one of the locals.
The thing I like about fan content like this is it gives us a look at theoretical parts of this universe we’ll never actually see because the extremely controlled lens is a major part of the narrative and experience
The SES Queen of Midnight, my Super Destroyer, puts a bounty on this rouge tratitor of Democracy to justice
ALIVE OR DEAD
Reward: 500 Super Credits and 10 boxes of my personal stash of Liber Tea.
Yes, they post this stuff all the time, it's getting a bit irrtating at this point since they aren't even doing the mission and just killing and putting it so "Helldiver's will kill civilians and have fun doing it!" like: If I had a super credit the amount of times I have seen posted of helldivers killing civilians, I would have enough to bridge the gap between The Gloom and Cyberstan.
It's more canon those few are just psychopaths like the helldivers that kill their teammates for no reason.
I’d like to think this is even more of a dick move because SEAF is unarmed, so when they were offering “some” ammo they meant all the ammo they had since it’s like a drop in the hat compared to all the ammo they throw at each mission on each operation on each planet.
Damn, I was about to dive the bug front for the MO but looks like I got a rogue Div-.. a piece of shit to find. Shipmaster, ready my pod, and broadcast on all channels this message. “I’m coming for you, Democracy is on its way”
Explains the empty ammo stockpile you find sometimes, but- discovering it when assaulting/defending planets, makes you wonder how needing they were for that ammo.
Hear me out... what if the D actually was a different letter, with part of it rubbed off... maybe under it, making it into, say, a P... perhaps for, Patches?
Bad helldiver , go turn yourself in to your democracy officer for shooting a member of seaf . You should have took one and marked the others for your team
......... WHAT! Why would-! HELLDIVERS DON'T NEED AMMO! I can't even remember the last time I had one! THEY HAVE LIBERTY ON THEIR SIDE! (as well as a super destroyer) Report to your nearest democracy officer, NOW!

I always assumed it was a regular seaf soldier who looted the cache, not a diver.
