Rejoice, for Liberty Day 2025 in Helldivers 2 was a resounding success for all. To mark the occasion, all players will receive a commemorative cape, to signify their participation in another glorious day for democracy. What were the exact margins, you may be asking? Don't worry about such frivolous concerns, there were enough dead bodies, I assure you.
Or, Arrowhead Game Studios assures everyone. The overall objective and whether or not it was accomplished are slightly spurious. The mission was to get 40 million combined kills across the whole community using the R-2124 Constitution.
For the 'official' readout, according to a dev on the official Discord, the team went with bullets; gunfire, as that was likely to be the majority of what people used. But that excludes a significant amount of bugs, androids, and other slain adversaries because of the bayonet - perhaps even leaving the global community at a deficit.
The remedy is simple: act like everyone got over the finish line as intended and give out the award to all. As a Reddit commenter points out, it's a classic faux pas often solved in table-top games with the GM rolling some hidden dice and just having over the win because they've realized there’s a quirk in the mission they hadn't thought about.
These things happen, and at a time when Arrowhead could do with some goodwill, this is definitely a good move. For liberty, in our shiny new capes!
