Summary

  • Arrowhead Game Studios reveals updated stats for Helldivers 2.
  • Unsurprisingly, players have been busy with 280 billion total kills in the game, while Terminids have caused the most player deaths.
  • Additionally, there have been 1.5B bombs dropped, 3.7B Eagles deployed, and 38M friendly fire deaths.

Helldivers 2 just dropped some impressive stats about the game, revealing just how many Automatons have been destroyed, how many Terminids have been squashed, and how many times players have died in their attempt to spread democracy. Kills, deaths, and Stratagem usage now rest in the hundreds of billions, proving just how massive Helldivers 2 has become since its release.

Few games have carved out their own spot in the video game world quite like Helldivers 2, which has remained at the forefront of gamers' minds for several reasons. First, Helldivers 2 sees pretty consistent updates and content overhauls. This makes sense, considering the game features a live-service model, complete with battle passes and other content. The game itself is also incredibly fun and rewarding, tasking players with invading alien planets and facing off against some truly intimidating foes, both organic and robotic. However, Helldivers 2's unique tone has likely helped differentiate it from the rest, with the game taking a satirical, tongue-in-cheek approach to storytelling and world-building. It's all part of the fun, with Helldivers 2 recently revealing some fascinating stats about the game.

The official Helldivers 2 Twitter account recently shared a breakdown of some of the game's statistics, ranging from total kills and deaths to certain Stratagem usage. There have been a whopping 280 billion total kills in the game, which is unsurprising considering how many enemies Helldivers 2 throws at players. On the flip side, there have been 1.2 billion deaths by Automatons, one of the enemy factions in Helldivers 2, and there have been 83 million deaths from the Illuminate.

Helldivers 2 Reveals Impressive Stats About the Game

Speaking more tactically, one billion 500K bombs have been dropped, and 3.7 billion Eagles have been deployed, showing just how important and popular Helldivers 2's selection of Stratagems is during battle. As stated earlier, working together as a team is crucial in Helldivers 2, but there's plenty of room for accidents, with the game seeing over 38 million deaths from friendly fire. There have also been 4.9 million deaths from friendly mine launchers and Helldivers 2 players have delivered 275 million hugs.

Helldivers 2 players can enjoy the Omens of Tyranny update, which brought several new pieces of content to the game. The update surprise-dropped at the end of last year, adding new mission objectives, new items, and a new enemy type known as the Illuminate. Helldivers 2 players can also work their way through the game's latest Warbond, Servants of Freedom, which includes dozens of new cosmetics and other items.

The Galaxy’s Last Line of Offence. Enlist in the Helldivers and join the fight for freedom across a hostile galaxy in a fast, frantic, and ferocious third-person shooter.

URGENT BROADCAST – SUPER EARTH ARMED FORCES
Freedom. Peace. Democracy. Your Super Earth-born rights. The key pillars of our civilization. Of our very existence. But the war rages on. And everything is once again under threat.

Join the greatest military force the galaxy has ever seen and make this a safe and free place to live.

BECOME A LEGEND
You will be assembled into squads of up to four Helldivers and assigned strategic missions. Watch each other’s back – friendly fire is an unfortunate certainty of war, but victory without teamwork is impossible.

LOADOUTS
Rain down freedom from above, sneak through enemy territory, or grit your teeth and charge head-first into the jaws of combat. How you deliver liberty is your choice; you’ll have access to a wide array of explosive firepower, life-saving armor and battle-changing stratagems… the jewel in every Helldiver’s arsenal.

REQUISITION
Super Earth recognises your hard work with valuable Requisition. Use it to access different rewards that benefit you, your squad, your destroyer ship and our overall war effort.

THREATS
Everything on every planet wants you dead. That’s what we’re dealing with. Each enemy has distinct and unpredictable characteristics, tactics, and behavior – but they all fight ferociously and without fear or morality.

THE GALACTIC WAR
Capturing enemy planets, defending against invasions, and completing missions will contribute to our overall effort. This war will be won or lost depending on the actions of everyone involved.

We stand together, or we fall apart.
