More Helldivers, make it even go faster, tested with 2 divers, and it was 10 seconds less (1.20 total), so every diver probably cuts down 10 seconds. So 4 divers saluting will make it raise 40 seconds faster. (1 minute total if 4 divers saluting) (This needs further testing I can’t say for 100% so take it with a grain of salt)
@RobertoTalasera Yeah of course- if you need help with this one: "night and day" is a popular English expression, meant to emphasize how different two things are. The joke is that the clips actually take place in night on the right and day on the left.
Well, about 10s:12*3600s Really more like 0.1% of a night and day difference. Not with learning a saying, without possessing the necessary level of comprehension to live life unlike these clowns
Four Helldivers can do this at the same time and it increases the flag raising speed by 16% per person. You can complete a good chunk of the flag objective with four people before the enemy even arrives.
I always salute as long as I can. surrounded by bugs and stand steadfastly. 😂😂 I’ll die saluting, if I know teammates are around fighting and keep the flag raising.
I genuinely want a flag stratagem that works like the one in the tutorial so you can carry it around and melee with it, and placing it down would… do something I dunno
I didn't know this happened! I just saluted it because the tutorial said to. I didn't question why, I just salute the flag whenever I get the chance because it felt right.
@@Wayra_ I like how it operates as a mechanic but have noticed that not once has an orbital strike origin point lined up visually with the super destroyer in the sky aside from the tutorial. Every time I've looked up to see shots coming in, they've always come from a point in the sky some distance from the super destroyer(s), and it breaks the immersion a bit.
@@Yorushima Very much not the case. As Wayra said, the shots come from your super destroyer. If that wasn't the case for you at some point then it'll have been a bug. Before rocket pods aimed for automaton cannon turrets I would always check the super destroyer's position to ensure my precision strikes came in at the right angle to actually hit them. Doing so nets 100% accuracy, not doing so meant it'd generally miss.
I did it once for fun but I SWORE I saw the flag start to raise faster. I stopped saluting then started again and I was certain I wasn’t imagining it. My friends and I started saluting the flag whenever we could on that objective and brought guard dogs, sentries, and armed resupply pods to assist. Glad to know we aren’t crazy, just patriotic.
You know. Seeing the start of the video I'm surprised that there isn't a "plant the flag" style objective where you need to enter a large base like one of the fortresses on level 10 and plant the normal flag in the center or highest point. Sounds fun
I KNEW it raised faster when you saluted to the flag. Because I noticed the bar on the top right moving just a little bit faster whenever I saluted, I knew I wasn't crazy!
Significantly reducing fatalities from most friendly bombardment around the Helldiver carrying the flag by avoiding direct fire on their position. With a Super Earth flag at the heart of the conflict mechanics and fleet personals are inspired to work harder for the heros on the ground. 10% cool down on other stratagems while flag is equipped. During extraction, the pilot is able to locate and navigate more effectively to the landing area with the additional data relayed from the Banner of the Patriots. 30 second reduction on extraction. But enemies will be more aware and aggressive towards the Flag carrier and anyone near it.
Dude. You have awesome Videos. I don't know if you ever covered this, but you can see the spare magazines of your Guard Dog in the Backpack. Starting with a total of 8 spares and every time it comes back to the backpack, it reloads one mag and you can see the process.
@@TheLukeHines Yep! The areas it plays in definitely fit, for sure. (Halo's older OSTs always had somewhat lighthearted tracks play over epic battles or tense moments).
It's been a while since I played the tutorial, but I don't remember that we could pick up a flag. Would actually like to have a flag as a stratagem or have it fill a weapon slot, and it would allow for your team to have a buff, whether that's while it's being held or when players are within a certain range of it.
This video made me realize that we don’t have a mission where we raise the flag with out own hands, carrying it across the map while being assaulted by enemies. Even though we have the animations I think that would be pretty fun twist on the “pick and haul the package” type of missions
It does also depend on team proximity. If your team is out of range killing shit to protect the one person at the point it is slower. The more divers near it while it raises the faster it goes.
So that's why that drone is there. Always wondered why there's a drone flying close to the flag. It's a drone camera checking the surroundings to see if there's any Helldivers nearby.
we should get the ability to find flags on the map and use them as spears maybe like 2x spear attack damage but they get stuck into the enemy so you have to grab it from their corpses to use it again so you can have it stuck into chargers or tanks
I saw another video on this a couple of days ago. I think it was every diver does 10 percent until the entire squad is doing the salute then it gets boosted to 50% So it would go 10-20-30-50
I've been doing it since i started playing, the National Anthem (or super earth anthem in this case) are meant to pay respect and remind ourself what are we doing here in the first place. For Liberty, For Democracy, FOR FREEDOM!!!
Yes this game mechanic works by every 1 Helldiver makes it go 13% faster and on top of that its stackable meaning if all four players salute it takes half the time of 52 seconds!
Over here still showing honor to Super Earths flag and think "we got this! I dare them to stop us!" To actually have it speed up the flag? Gonna love helldivers.
For me I couldn’t play the tutorial at the time because the game just launch and it was broken and in one section I could not pass it, i had no chose but to skip it at the time.
“We hold this ground in the name of super earth! If we die we die with freedom on our lips!” “Freedom!” *bot ships* “There’s no end to them!” “There is and we will find it!” Also I think it’d be best if they had capture the flag as a side objective like how destroying a fortress you can get confidential intel as a bot head, in something like an illuminate stronghold you can retrieve a flag and return it to extract
I see super Earth rewards us for our loyalty with quick and fast results and I'm not saying that because I may or may not have a super Earth government agent watching my location at the moment?😅
More Helldivers, make it even go faster, tested with 2 divers, and it was 10 seconds less (1.20 total), so every diver probably cuts down 10 seconds. So 4 divers saluting will make it raise 40 seconds faster. (1 minute total if 4 divers saluting) (This needs further testing I can’t say for 100% so take it with a grain of salt)
And there’s no helldivers to cover each ass
and 40 seconds is an eternity on higher difficulties
o7
Just as i was about to ask!!!a full sentry team may be suffice!!
Good to see someone was paying attention in the Tutorial.
So if the entire team salutes at once...
I always did this just for fun and role play.
Knowing it actually does something just makes me salute even harder.
salute!
*salutes
salute harder!
D:
THATS THE MOST DEMOCRATIC AND PATRIOTIC THING IVE EVER HEARD TODAY DIVER !
Im saluting so hard right now
Supering my Earth rn thanks to this comment
Who up saluting their flag rn
If more than one Helldiver salutes, the flag raises even faster
its impossible to hold even 1 salute, so much enemues coming
@votpavel Impossible? No. Stressful ignoring until the last second? Yes.
Tower Control ahh logic
@@votpavel last night while doing tier 10 squids i held the flag with 0 enemies coming near it, so i call it a super skill issue on your end
@zenqmeister squids are the easiest and i held it there fighting solo or even sneaking around, try bugs and see how long you last
1:02 the difference is truly night and day
Underrated humor
Lol awesome pun, I salute you for that one.
@@cksupreme Is there any way to explain the meaning of a joke to a person who does not understand English?
@RobertoTalasera Yeah of course- if you need help with this one: "night and day" is a popular English expression, meant to emphasize how different two things are. The joke is that the clips actually take place in night on the right and day on the left.

Pre-position turrets and have drones around and they'll buy you more time until the heavies drop in.
@@SSgtJ0hns0n we have sentries for heavies too
I always salute as long as I can. surrounded by bugs and stand steadfastly. 😂😂 I’ll die saluting, if I know teammates are around fighting and keep the flag raising.
I genuinely want a flag stratagem that works like the one in the tutorial so you can carry it around and melee with it, and placing it down would… do something I dunno
Damage boost, or passive health regen.
@ team health regen could be quite cool
It could be a support item that gives a boost to other divers in the vicinity to "hold the line"
I would climb to the tallest perch of an automaton fortress or an illuminate encampment, then plant it down after we liberate it.
@@P.H691 the only correct use of the flag
"Cover me, I'm saluting the flag"
"What?"
"Actually, everyone come salute the flag real quick before the enemy overwhelms us."
"... What?!"
They’re questioning why they should salute the flags?
Such undemocratic behavior,truly sickening.

@@jaxonhumphreys671
There are giant bugs about to eat our faces off and you want us to turn our backs to salute the flag!?
I'm saluting my flag... oh wrong flag
I hope you contacted their democracy officer
Flag spear as a melee weapon would be dope.
said this exact same thing a minute ago
So me jokingly refusing to move while saluting the flag as all hell broke loose around me and my friends fought for our lives actually helped? Nice.
I didn't know this happened! I just saluted it because the tutorial said to. I didn't question why, I just salute the flag whenever I get the chance because it felt right.
Not questioning things and just doing what you're told? Sounds like a model Helldiver to me!
Yes Democracy Officer. This one right here. They deserve the highest possible medal and Class A citizenship.
I just wish we got the actual tutorial flag for the objective rather than the slowly extending pole
but the comically slow extending pole while the obnoxiously loud anthem plays is hilarious.
The extending pole make for a good elevator tho
I want my deliver the super earth flag missions, make it a melee weapon so I can stab the butt end into bugs
Like in space marine 2, give you health Regen or does little damage to enemies would be good
Wish we get both: find flag, carry flag to platform, platform raises into position

Huh, I thought it was a fixed position. That's pretty cool
Yep, kinda like a boat in the ocean
Yeah they drift a little
it also impacts the angle of orbital strikes. if you orbital strike and its like, behind a mountain low angle it may even just completely miss

I FECKING KNEW IT 😂!! I always show my faith in democracy when performing these missions I am glad it has its benefits.
Its the little stuff they add that truly makes this game awesome

Sounds fun
In short, when doing Raise the Flag missions, bring sentries so you can focus on saluting that glorious flag.
And bring Guard Dogs to defend us as well
I KNEW it raised faster when you saluted to the flag. Because I noticed the bar on the top right moving just a little bit faster whenever I saluted, I knew I wasn't crazy!
most treacherus objectives on super helldive 10
They told me I was doing it for nothing; they called me a mad man.
New meta is 3 Helldivers saluting while 1 actually defends
shared this during a session earlier. teammates were mindblown.
democracy successfully managed!
I use to joke with my fellow divers about this. They never believed me of course. I had no idea it was true though.
My favorite addition was the new animation for falling to prone if you’re running, idk why but it looks so good just hitting the dirt lol
Support equipment: Rising Banner of the Patriots

Every time I hear Peril from halo 2 in a Helldivers video, I know I'm in for a good and informative time.
That song is called Peril? It always seemed like one of the more lighthearted and playful Halo tracks lol
@@TheLukeHines Yep! The areas it plays in definitely fit, for sure. (Halo's older OSTs always had somewhat lighthearted tracks play over epic battles or tense moments).
In my eyes, the salute just takes precious seconds away from glorious carnage.
4 dogs and turrets means you can do this with the whole team as stuff just gets mowed around you
This is probably your most helpful video yet
I’m glad more people talking about that. This hidden detail alone make me so happy
I've always just done it because it's the right think to do. Nice to know there's added benefits lol.
I mean... I like the music, a tough encounter with it playing just truly hits democratically different
Crazy,
Never recognized that.
Thank you!
It's been a while since I played the tutorial, but I don't remember that we could pick up a flag. Would actually like to have a flag as a stratagem or have it fill a weapon slot, and it would allow for your team to have a buff, whether that's while it's being held or when players are within a certain range of it.
How did I not know this. Thanks for the info!
As someone who just did that wheb we set up turrets and mines, its nice that it does something
EVERY Helldiver needs to know about this!
I always thought it was just distance based, the order you get the faster it is. Never knew if you salute it increases too.
Awesome tip
It raises faster the closer you are too it. Not if youre saluting.
Your democracy officer would LOVE to have a word with you!
I sincerely don't know if i should be pissed off or admired by this detail
This video made me realize that we don’t have a mission where we raise the flag with out own hands, carrying it across the map while being assaulted by enemies. Even though we have the animations
I think that would be pretty fun twist on the “pick and haul the package” type of missions
I didnt know it raised faster when saluting it i just saluted it out of respect
this would have made my missions go so much faster how did i not figure this out
Saluting the flag for faster time ❌
Saluting the flag because that's what super citizen do ✅
It does also depend on team proximity. If your team is out of range killing shit to protect the one person at the point it is slower. The more divers near it while it raises the faster it goes.
Ain't no way, that is awesome.
The fact that you can cover your fellow Helldiver so the flag raises faster is hilarious.
So that's why that drone is there. Always wondered why there's a drone flying close to the flag. It's a drone camera checking the surroundings to see if there's any Helldivers nearby.
Does it work for any other emotes, like for example the "at ease" one. My absolute favourite.😅
Yes… the developers really added this for us to find..
we should get the ability to find flags on the map and use them as spears
maybe like 2x spear attack damage but they get stuck into the enemy so you have to grab it from their corpses to use it again
so you can have it stuck into chargers or tanks
I wasn't aware this was a thing. I always salute because that's the most democratic thing to do.
OUR WAY OF LIIIIFE, GALAXY WIIIIDE 🗣🗣🗣🗣
Just bought the game for the low low. Good info to have. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure the flag also raises faster the closer you stand to it.
15 seconds shaved per Helldiver. That's significant
Waiting for a salut voiceover singing
"OH SAY CAN YOU SEEE
SUPER-EARTH'S EARLY LIGHT..."
We all done this for roleplay at the beginning but now it has a purpose.... DEMOCRACY.
I saw another video on this a couple of days ago. I think it was every diver does 10 percent until the entire squad is doing the salute then it gets boosted to 50%
So it would go 10-20-30-50
I've also heard whispers that the ICBM raises faster if you salute at it but I haven't tested it myself.
I believe that the effect is cumulative (more divers saluting == more speed), and also increases with proximity.
AH NEEDS to add the Flag as a melee weapon.
I've been doing it since i started playing, the National Anthem (or super earth anthem in this case) are meant to pay respect and remind ourself what are we doing here in the first place. For Liberty, For Democracy, FOR FREEDOM!!!
Easy to say when youre not getting swarmed by hundreds of enemies
I'm also highly positive standing at attention also counts.
I will never salute super earth! For the chaos divers!
Yes this game mechanic works by every 1 Helldiver makes it go 13% faster and on top of that its stackable meaning if all four players salute it takes half the time of 52 seconds!
They were causing a stir in some areas
(Caugh) Ezra and Sabin
Throw down a couple sentries and pop your salute!
Over here still showing honor to Super Earths flag and think "we got this! I dare them to stop us!" To actually have it speed up the flag? Gonna love helldivers.
REAL Helldivers salute the flag without knowing that it goes faster.
I’ve done that once in another mission I don’t know what type of mission it is where I had to pick up the flag besides, the one with the robot does it
Dude I completely forgot we can carry the flag in tutorial this should be used in a mission
For me I couldn’t play the tutorial at the time because the game just launch and it was broken and in one section I could not pass it, i had no chose but to skip it at the time.
I’ve always saluted the flag when i get the chance, i thought i was being useless doing it and wasting time, now i learned it wasn’t for nothing
Now to play my new favorite minigame: Does It Stack?
Yes
@ultimat3lifeform Always important to know.
They should make a mission where you have to bring the super earth flag to a certain area
It raises faster because with helldivers saluting the camera drone that comes with the flag gets a better footage for propaganda purposes. Probably.
I just do it because Democracy, but nice to know it does something
“We hold this ground in the name of super earth! If we die we die with freedom on our lips!”
“Freedom!”
*bot ships*
“There’s no end to them!”
“There is and we will find it!”
Also I think it’d be best if they had capture the flag as a side objective like how destroying a fortress you can get confidential intel as a bot head, in something like an illuminate stronghold you can retrieve a flag and return it to extract
Your telling me all this time me saluting while standing on too of the flag while its “rising” it goes up faster I’m democratically motivated!
I see super Earth rewards us for our loyalty with quick and fast results and I'm not saying that because I may or may not have a super Earth government agent watching my location at the moment?😅
I knew i wasn't crazy, holy shit
I installed a mod that changes the flag raising music to the one with lyrics so you get 10x more democratic
It can be faster up to 50% for 4 Helldivers. Technically 12.5% per Helldiver saluting.
I wonder if it scales based on how many players salute the flag.
non saluting: mission complete
saluting: mission fail because you died 20x
This is actually pretty neat
Only traitors dive without their capes.
I’m surprised they don’t have an objective where you actually pick up the flag and carry it to a spot besides the tutorial.
What the hell, great, my death count is going to be even higher now.
Funny, I used to salute the flag anyway just for fun. I did not know it was functional other than opening escape pods.
10 seconds.. kinda wish it was more.. or hell, if it was stackable per person
Does it have to be specifically the salute, or can it be something like the hug before someone else joins in on it?
Does it raise even faster when there's four people though? 4x Democracy?
Yep, it stacks.
Man i wish i could carry the flag by hand like the training, take it up a hill while fighting for dear life while planting it down
I never noticed. but if I can I always salute it just cause
Huh. Neat little detail.
Like, the emote, or is there a prompt
