Fortnite enthusiasts outdo Helldivers 2's grunts, eradicate a mind-blowing 100 million seasonal glitches within 12 hours unprompted by a Major Command: "Impressive beginning to counter this onslaught"
Fortnite's latest season, titled "Shock 'N Awesome," has been unveiled on August 7, 2025. This season introduces a new theme, an anti-bug military defence, that has left players in a frenzy.
The season features a variety of explosive weapons and alien bug-type enemies that strongly resemble the Terminids from Helldivers 2. Additionally, supply drops and vehicles reminiscent of Helldivers' gear can be found, such as the "O.X.R. Drop Pods" similar to Helldivers' Hellpods and the "Hammerhead Choppa" akin to the pelican. These elements have sparked excitement among fans, fueling speculation of a potential crossover between the two games.
However, it's important to clarify that there is currently no official collaboration between Helldivers 2 and Fortnite Season 4. Despite the thematic and aesthetic similarities, Fortnite leakers and developers have confirmed that no crossover content has been announced or released for this season or is planned imminently.
Arrowhead Game Studios, the creators of Helldivers 2, have acknowledged the thematic similarities in a lighthearted manner but have emphasised that the two games are distinct and that no crossover is currently planned.
In a remarkable feat, players have already managed to squash 100,000,000 Bugs, as announced by Epic Games. This achievement is particularly impressive given that no explicit goal has been set for the number of bugs to be squashed and the number of bugs squashed by players is not independently trackable.
Despite the lack of official confirmation, it's worth noting that loyal Helldivers have performed similar feats for Managed Democracy in the past. However, it remains uncertain if something will happen if players reach a billion bugs squashed.
As players continue to fight through the bug-infested landscapes of Fortnite Season 4, the excitement and anticipation for potential crossovers and further developments remain high. For now, players are encouraged to keep fighting and see what feats they can achieve in this thrilling season.
