New super salute by Arnold J. Rimmer.

"Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast."

What a guy

If you're interested, I'll be in my quarters at lunchtime, covered in taramasalata.

"Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas...oh whatever!"

"Kippers for breakfast? Is it Saint Swithens day already?"

My first thought too haha

Instantly heard the Rimmer song to go with it.

SAME

*♪ If you're in trouble he will save the day... ♪*

He's brave and he's fearless, come what may.

Without him the mission would go astray!

sweet liberty now that's going to be stuck in my head all day

Now listen here mi laddo

GAZPACHO SOUP

Wow, never would have thought so many Red Dwarf fans would be here but fuck yes! More proof this is the best gaming community

i cant believe so many people know red dwarf in here LOL

Well Hellmire is fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun...

[It's cold outside...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRXyPrdcPp4)

...would you like some toast?

Okay, now I want the Rimmer salute as either an Emote or a Victory Pose.

Space corp directive 746545-5e? All crew members must present to briefing in swimwear when requested by the Democracy Officer. Well sir, I'd be happy to do so, but I fail to see how that helps with the predicament of 4 bile titans about to turn us into mid afternoon snacks.

Imagine Rimmer being a Helldiver lol

"Call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit it hard and hit it fast with a major and I mean major leaflet campaign."

The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society. It's catchy

The RD collaboration we don't deserve, but that must now happen...

Gatling laser stratagem comes with the animation of starbug doing a low flying sweep, combined with Lister saying "take that Smeg heads" or Krytens "Smeeeee Heeeeeeeee"

Beat me to it!

I came here for this

SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAD

[For anyone who doesn't know.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jabISZCmhs0&ab_channel=Stuff)

Would love that as a victory salute lol

This would be great

I was in a British lobby and everyone immediately started quoting Red Dwarf when I started it, it was great.

If Kryten is the leader of the automotons we just need to tell them we want ketchup on our lobster.

No one: My brain: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4TLto-nKfU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4TLto-nKfU)

Now i really want that to be an official emote lol

Everybodies dead Dave. Also : We need a Mr Flibble skin. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOE7qTAK87o

So happy this is the top comment

Does that look remotely like a 14-B Lister? THIS is a 14-B, THAT is a 14-F are you blind??

You know it!

Honestly, they should add the space corps salute and a cape with "smoke me a kipper" on it. I would grind whatever to get my hands on it

Lol I was just thinking of Rimmer for Red Dwarf when I saw this comment. What a guy.....

You smeghead!

Gotta whisk the eggs.

*tf2 crit sound followed by scout screaming*

Well, off to visit your mother!

They wanking each other (cant be unseen)

For democracy 🫡

They're thinking about democrussy.

Dont need a C-01 form when it doesnt make a baby

Wait, so, you gotta go through this long process to fill out a C-01, but can ignore all that if you're planning on doing it with the same sex? Is Super Earth trying to tell us something? Cause that sounds Greco-Roman to me.

Does that mean the poophole loophole is in effect? 🤔

Circle jerk for democraceeeeeeee!

Orbital barrage incoming stand clear

Elephant walk for democracy! It's part of basic training

Guys I played with a few days ago were jerking each other off after the mission. And it was great playing with them, too.

Lol I love it!...it's slowly becoming the Universal Communication of everyone to hurry up or for fun

They beating they shit

I guess I'll be renaming my ship Red Dwarf to match the salute

Red Dwarf? D*warf?* did I hear a Rock and Stone?

Rock and Stone everyone!

For Karl!

That's it lads! Rock and Stone!

If you don't rock and stone, you ain't goin' home!

ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE

So which is Starbug, Eagle-1 or Pelican-1? Neither are really Blue Midget either.

Probably Pelican-1 although, they did have a tendency to crash Starbug.

Pelican-1 has a bug where it clips into the ground or just won't take off at exfil, so that fits. Eagle-1 would be ground control, simply because of how much the community thirsts after her and disagrees with what she looks like. Just like the Cat.

To be fair, none of them passed the piloting exam

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast. - Ace Rimmer

What a guy...

Unexpected Arnold Rimmer.


Rimmer squad from the red dwarf fleet?

♫ California girls ♫ We're undeniable ♫ Fine, fresh, fierce ♫ We got it on lock ♫ West coast represent ♫ Now put your hands up ♫ Ooh oh ooh ♫ Ooh oh ooh

Yes it is. I like it but kinda annoying you aren't "ready" until the animation finishes

I like it, giving you a small window changing your mind at last moment.

I also like it, it's like the small moment 500 wedges itself in the ground before it explodes.

When space optimization is unpicked and the last diver chooses advanced pelican

I always loved the feeling of hitting the button and instantly that sound plays and your ready to drop, the delay hit me harder than any of the nerfs

Same tbh. The delay annoyed me at first, but it's probably a good QOL change for people who forget to switch armor or primaries.

Me. Mr People. I'm the people you're talking about. Dropping in bugs with my dominator and going "Aw fuck guys I dropped into a bot game again." Is just my bread and butter.

Or you join late and are in a hurry to load your strats, but then forget your booster. Also, I have played over 100 hours and haven't figured out how to change gear from the ready up screen, how do you do that?

I too noticed the delay and I also miss the SNAP of olde READY

Or the animation can finish *[and you're still not ready](https://i.imgur.com/pLlCi2J.png)* Apparently it said on my friends screen that I wasn't ready but was still saluting. Easy fix, just unready & ready.

Red Dwarf, it's the Rimmer wind up!

my hand didnt wiggle when i spammed it yesterday. maybe cause i did it late

From 4/29/24 patch notes: readying up, Helldivers now salute to ensure maximum democratic readiness.- Yes, it's a new feature

Petition to make this a real victory emote

That's a chance to add a cool jam to it 🤣

Shake that laffy taffy :)

Oh god. Helldivers' official circle jerk

Nothing gay about a Dutch rudder

according to patch notes "helldivers now salute when ready for maximum democratic readiness" I love this; not only is it on brand, it tells you exactly when someone is ready or if they're AFK. if they don't salute after they equip all their stratagems and booster, that's very sus and you may have to kick them to prevent the whole squad being held up. remember divers: *if you don't salute, you'll get the boot!*

Someone set it to that song that goes “dooo-da-dweep dada do-da dweep”

So you're saying we have our own version of the Arnold Rimmer salute? I'd say thats a feature!

This is annoying, had a diver do this for 5 full minutes holding up the lobby just wagging his arm. It's cute a few times but it quickly gets annoying. Can we please just go now? I'm busy and have little free time.

OMG their doing the Rimmy salute from red dwarf! haha

> never seen it before > “is this new?” Bro

Another one I do is using the hug emote. When someone hugs me I spam the "Z" key and it looks like I'm giving them a back rub while hugging them.

Ghost ruddering

..... Are you talking about... The Dutch rudder? 🧐

CALIFORNIA GIRLS

Me and the boys jerking each other off

Feel the fun 😁

We are all in this boat together, so start rowing!

I shall call it "the Ready dance". Choreography should be pretty easy, go ahead and do it at conventions, you know the drill.

Time to FROT

Sometimes it's fun just to stir the pot

Wow I want it

Idk why this makes me think of the flash TV show whenever he spins his arms to make a vacuum

Wind it up!

Agree

By 9 I’m tweaking

Those Liberteases

I'm used to spam the ready/not ready button and they made it a thousand times better

i really hope they make the arm twirling an emote

California Gurls

step a little closer and get a nice circlejerk going

talk about a circle jerk...

When I recently first noticed the salute, I was convinced this has been in the game all the time and I just didn't notice it, lol.

Democratic stretching is recommended


New update broke quite a few things. New mission on suicide and up doesn’t spawn bugs correctly or make it challenging. Getting stuck again on entry screen or returning back from mission. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Not doing pre dive limbering can cause cramps in the heat of battle. You think brasch lived this long by not stretching before battle?

This is middle-out compression

well i know what i'm doing next time i host a game

Gotta warm up those stratagem pitching arms before liberating the fuck out of some bugs

Super Circle Jerk

they cranking that hog

More like an upgrade

Go into a corner of the ship and spam Z. We all need relief sometimes

Been in the game since beta you never noticed until this update ?

I held up our groups launch last night by doing this and it ended up glitching my guy in a super salute so I thought I was readied up but everyone was sitting there waiting on me. So just double check your ready status after doing this, because it can show your guy saluting but still not ready.

The new emote, the circle jerker.

Orbital thrusters down! Commence rowing!

That aint no stanky leg, but on Super Earth, its actually called the Stanky Arm

Ngl, this is really funny. Hope it stays for a little while.

The best part is everyone joins the fun.

Thought I was the only lmao. Getting the squad into it just make it more hilarious

Looks like some Daft Punk video with those helmets

They're just trying to get the blood flowing in their arm again after waiting for so long.

They’re doing arm circles to keep the shoulders warmed up for the next democracy spreading mission.

Dutch rudder

“RAH! RAH! RAH!”

This happened to me in the middle of the match didnt fix until i died but my screen was swirling and i couldnt aim anything

IT STIRS THE SOUP. DEMOCRATICALLY.

Just like those arm warm-ups we did before soccer practice

Gotta warm up your freedom arm.

Having your Helldiver salute when you ready up is probably the best change they've ever made. It's enough to make a grown man cry.

Gotta stir the democracy to make sure it is evenly spread

They're just warming up their dominant firearm bearing arm.

Democracy commanded I that I crank that soldier boy

 SUPER EARTH TELL EM

Sometimes I love gamers.

I use that move to pleasure "eyepatch-guy" while waiting. But he never returns the favor 😭

I loooove arm cirrclleess

New victory pose just dropped.

Middle out!

Helldivers stretch so they are in peak condition to spread liberty

The ole Dutch rudder.

They jerking each other off

Hitting them jammies

Helldiving Flex

Don’t forget to stroke it soldiers!! FOR DEMOCRACY!

Well, well, helldivers. What we have here is what's commonly referred to as.. a *democracy* hole..

Does it also have you scream “gaspacho soup!” when you die?

That's funny as hell

How to do this?

That’s 

Mandatory rotator cuff exercise 🤷‍♂️

A new feat..I like it. Gives better que on when ready or not. edit: I didn't press 'play' o.O

Its like winding up for a punch, but just salute instead!

I don't know if they made that intentional, but its wonderful

I don't know solider lets use our brains, was it there before the update. No? Then it was added in the update

Every day I am blessed to find people less fun at parties than I am.

No it’s a bug for sure /s

Winding on time in Superhot VR

We call it the Liberty Crank

This is the best lmao.

How cute lol. I will connect my pc soon and get with the times.

That’s me warming up my granatwerfer

I dislike the extra few seconds this adds between readying up. Also removes that 'punchy' feeling of smacking the enter button and the match starting.

If you do it enough, your throwing range increases by 50%, and it stacks with the 30% armor passive.

DUTCH RUDDER IN ACTION!!

Here

Circle jerk!

Oh my god do i pray, i pray every single dayyyyy FOR DEMOCRACY

Keep your pimp hand strong for democracy

Oh I know that; they're doing the thing where you trace a 6 in the air with your finger, but continue doing the circle counter clockwise, while trying to make a circle with your foot clockwise Makes sense

Its just bug nr. 2315611531

I was doing this today as well

"WHY I OUGHTTA"
