Fortnite players do Helldivers 2 grunts proud, squash 100 million of the new season's bugs in 12 hours even without a Major Order propelling them: "An incredible start to repelling this invasion"

Fortnite's not-actually-Helldivers 2 season is here, and battle royale players have already fully thrown themselves into the chaos of the "anti-bug military defense force" (not sponsored by Super Earth) by splatting 100 million of the creepy-crawlies in just 12 hours.

With an infestation of alien-like bugs to fight off with a whole host of explosive weapons, Fortnite Season 4 of Chapter 6 may look like Helldivers, and it may sound like Helldivers, but it notably includes no actual Helldivers, despite how perfect the setting would be for a crossover. Even so, Fortnite players haven't needed Super Earth's General Brasch or the motivation of a Major Order to spur them on to fight valiantly against the bugs.
