Nearly 2% of all player deaths in Diablo 4 have been caused by a single boss. 

It's already been over a week since Diablo 4 launched, and to celebrate, Blizzard has given us an insight into what players have been up to in Sanctuary over the first🦹 seven days, which includes being slain by the Butcher - 🐼the series' iconic and extremely tough boss - a heck of a lot of times. 

The Diablo 4 week one launch stats show that players met their end a combined 316,991,632 tꩵimes. 5,792,063 of these were at the hands of the Butcher, making him responsible for almost 2% of all player deaths in Diablo 4 so far. 

"I have added to that stat many times," one Diablo 4 fan wrote on Twitter. Another replied: "He is a damn sponge and hits like a truck. I leave the dungeon and re-enter. He has no business being that tough." A third revealed their rather unconventi🍌onal approach to encounters with the powerful foe. "I just put my controller down when I run into the But🌜cher," they said. "I literally can't touch him."

Elsewhere, Diablo 4 fans have played the action-RPG for a combined 276 million hours in the first week, defeated a whopping 2.73 billion monsters in the process, and the spell-slinging 澳洲幸运🦩5开奖号码历史查询:ꦓSorcerer has proven to be the most popular class. 6,263 players have managed to make it to level 100, and more impressive still, 163 have 🌸managed to reach max l🌳evel in Hardcore mode.

While these are undeniably strong figures, they're not all that surprising as Diablo 4 is Blizzard's fastest🅺-selling gꦰame to date, having grossed the "highest pre-launch unit sales ever 🗹on both console and PC" in just four days.
