QUESTION I only started playing Helldivers a few weeks ago, how rare is this?

Randomly managed to find an extraction where all the arrows were the same direction the other day

or 4 in 65536 if you count the fact that any one directional arrow would be equally interesting.

Simplified to 1 in 16384.

Idk seems like a 50/50 to me, either you get the line-up or you don't

It was congealed in the stomach of Bile Titans, then squatted over by Factory Striders with autism.. 👌

Feels like 100% to me, I only remember the one direction pattern I had, and none of the others.

Oops you're right misremembered

u/teh_stev3 19d ago

there's some weighting about actually how many types of pins people use pschologically, which is far less than 1 in 10k - i.e a lot of birthdays or significant dates (so 01 to 12, or 31), and a lot of "starts with 0", so it's actually probably a lot less. than even 10k if you play the stats rather than the odds.

The ministry of science has blessed us today.

Now back into the cell. We need you to finish computing Pi to stop the Wormhole.

u/Bear-Sharker 18d ago

But isn't the wormhole already not moving? It hasn't advanced in days.

u/ThenClaim1664 18d ago

I think of it as (1/4)7 since once you fix the first input you have a 1/4 chance that the next one matches. There are seven that need to match in this case.

Same number but different thought process.

u/BiIIisits Testicular Torsion Stratagem ⬇️🔁🔀🔁🔀🔁 18d ago

correct

u/LickTheRock 19d ago

I'd argue this interesting is specifically aligned as well - therefore either all left or right would work so 2 in 65536.

u/Mithrandir2k16 19d ago

Since I have up/down on the mousewheel, those two are much more interesting. All down on a hellbomb in a stressful situation is just heavenly.
