    My ship is like Grandma’s house. Everyone boarding gets a hug. I’d make oatmeal cookies if I could.

    Everyone gets a hug. Pre-mission, mid-mission, post-mission, and just when I feel like it.

    Best emote.

    The animation is really surprisingly tender. The Helldivers even softly turn to gaze into each other’s eyes before breaking their embrace.

      Seriously! Especially when all the other emotes are like salutes and fist bumps, going to the hug gets me all emotional.

    Our group when not in full usually stand at the deck and have the hug emote ready for the random’s that join our mission.

    A fellow helldiver was calling the two button doors “Friendship doors” and needed help opening them. I decided to go over and help, and after I was done, I offered a hug and they accepted. It was the best.

    You jest, but it’s small things like this that make this already magnificent game even better. It’s also down to the community, which does seem to be, as a whole, a lot less toxic than most similar fandoms online, especially for competitive games.

    If someone does the scout handshake with you, offer a hug and when the animation starts presss S.

    Hug is even better as a jerk emote than the intended jerk emote.
