Sorry, I come bearing unhealthy information. I do not simply say that as a result of it includes maths. Okay, perhaps I do. Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has shared some stats in regards to the quantity of stuff that is died within the Galactic Conflict to date, and it is seemigly come at a little bit of an ironic time, with Tremendous Earth wanting fairly on-the-ropes within the newest MO.
Perhaps it is pure this may occur after gamers have been rightly given a little bit of an auto-victory of their final order as a result of complete Galactic Conflict hiatus attributable to a pesky bug (not the Terminid sort). Or maybe that is why Arrowhead’s shared this knowledge – to attempt and function stat smelling salts and get everybody going once more.
Anyway, what to listen to about dying? Good, as a result of as of January 31, the Helldivers had killed 280 billion baddies in complete, whereas additionally wiping out 38.5 million of their very own troops through frendly hearth. That is based on a graphic tweeted by Arrowhead, which additionally confirms that the Illuminate killed 83 million divers in that timespan – so the roughly 50 days for the reason that faction debuted round December 13.
That is good going for a fairly titchy timespan, even when it is wanting the bots’ and bugs’ lifetime dying totals of 1.5 billion and 1.2 billion respectively. In the meantime, 275 million hug emotes has been dished out as of the beginning of February, and given how the present main order’s going that quantity’s most likely due one other huge bump quickly.
How do you want these numbers, Helldivers?

This order’s been a troublesome one, to be honest – fend off eight assaults from the Illuminate so as to cease the Meridia dying ball getting nearer to consuming a second course within the type of the planet Moradesh, whereas additionally wrestling management of Claorell from the automatons. As of writing, there are just below 24 hours to go, with solely two assaults overwhelmed, and Claorell sitting at round 75% liberated.
Taking the latter seems to be to be one of the best probability of pulling out a minimum of a partial victory, assuming the squids do not launch a bunch of last-minute offensives which are rapidly put down, however even that’ll be powerful going on the present charge. There are just below 20k divers on Claorell proper now, so here is hoping they’ll pull out the W.
Particularly since in-game propagand-, er information broadcasts have indicated that these “reasonably feeble younger adults” saved as a part of the final order are being educated to serve. Little bit of a crap instance to set them, getting beat, eh?
