280 billion enemies of Democracy were killed by Helldivers 2 players almost a year after the release of the popular TPS.

Statistics about the course of the Galactic War can always be viewed from the map level in the game, although these only recap the latest actions of the helldivers. Even though these numbers are impressive, they pale in comparison to the data presented by the Arrowhead Game Studios team on the new infographic.

The helldivers have not been idle - and not just in terms of the number of Super Earth's foes they've taken down. Players summoned Eagle-1 3.7 billion times, and it dropped a billion 500-kilogram bombs on the heads of bots, bugs, and squids. The brotherhood on the battlefield wasn't forgotten either: players hugged each other 275 million times.

Of course, it was not without the necessary sacrifices for democracy. Helldivers most often died in battles with Terminids: 1.5 billion times. The Illuminate harvested the smallest crop, which shouldn't be surprising - they only hit the game a few months ago. Unless we consider the players who "accidentally" eliminated 38.5 million helldivers (4.9 million of which were with mines).

The devs only included data collected up to January 31, 2025. Since then, we have had a massive mobilization of Super Earth forces in the fight against the Illuminate and the new strain of Terminids, as well as updates that allowed, among other things, to fight bugs in cities.
