With all these numbers, I determined that 11622.29 zombies are slain per peak concurrent player in Left 4 Dead 2 each day. With an average daily peak of 23133.88 players, this means approximately 268,868,662 zombies are shot, slashed, and blasted each day.

In February 2010, a few months after the release of Left 4 Dead 2, Destructoid reported that the game's total kill count at the time was 28,981,249,043. Using player count data from SteamDB, I was able to estimate the average zombies killed per player per day
