The Illuminate faction racking up 83 million kills in just 50 days is brutal, but honestly, I’m more impressed by the 275 million hugs—proof that even in the chaos of war, Helldivers still find time to spread some wholesome democracy. Friendly fire stats are just a reminder that sometimes, the biggest threat to democracy is… ourselves.

Those friendly fire stats are wild—38.5 million divers downed by their own squadmates is peak Helldivers chaos. At least the 275 million hugs show we’re still spreading democracy *and* good vibes
