  • A quick overview and guide on the new flying bug in Helldivers 2 - Shrieker! Was lucky to find the new flying Shriekers during my solo runs so here is an overview of what I think might be useful!

    EDIT: Adding a list of things that works against the nest based on comments:
    - Well placed 500 KG bomb in the middle can clear all nests (though beware of the 500 KG bomb trajectory, may be blocked by one of the nests)
    - Autocannon in about ~10 shots
    - Recoilless rifle in about ~ 2 shots (approximated since EAT also uses 2 shots)
    Dealing with Shriekers:
    - MG or Gattling sentry can clear large groups of Shriekers effectively
    - Incendiary Breaker with a wider spread and burn damage can help pick them off
    - Staying in a prone position can help to avoid their hits
    Encountered the new flying Shriekers during some solo attempts and was able to record some footage that I think might be useful. I wasn't able to test everything out so it is not very comprehensive, but hope it helps! If you have any better methods to deal with them, please share it in the comments!

      It feels easier to shoot their wings off than trying to shoot center mass, try and let me know maybe it's just pseudo effect but the wings pop off and they die instantly.

    "Arc Thrower works, but the hitbox is not very reliable", that's just the arc thrower in a nutshell tho, nothing unusual there.

      Literally 😂 I was shooting at a bug from a good distance and was wondering “why isn’t it hitting him,” then the bug turns around to look at me and its head gets blown off in one shot 😂

    • @xD3viLz
      @xD3viLz  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yea fair point. Though I find the targeting more consistent shooting down from high ground when there's no bodies or terrain blocking you. So was thinking it might work better as well when firing into the air.

      @@TheMcstevester the 2 uses I've used them to great effect for:
      1. clearing out egg nests
      2. Helldive blitz "kill 500 terminids" mission easy mode (I'm not kidding). Everyone in the squad brings 380mm and their choice of other barrage/AoE strats like 120mm, walking, cluster bomb, laser, etc.
      Then simply chain your strats together. You'll die a bunch obviously but the bugs will die faster than your reinforcement count and you should have plenty to spare by the time it's finished. (plus this is a great way to get the "have 6 barrage stratagems active at once" achievement :D )

    A single well-placed 500 kg in the middle can take out all the nest in one go, I also find that using any shotgun works best on the flying bugs and spears have a hard time locking on the nest for some reason.

    With the new flying bugs, i find the sieg incendiary is better than the normal breaker due to its spread and mag size, u can point it up the sky and use it as make shift flak, which is super effective. Also 2 recoiless shot or 2 eat shot will take down 1 tree

      I'm not sure what's your point here - I don't think the devs will make significant changes just because of some youtube videos since they have their own game plan. The purpose of the video is to give an overview of Shriekers. I have tried it and I agree that they are troublesome to deal with considering all the things you mentioned. It is a new addition, so it'll take time for players to figure out the optimal way to deal with it. Kind of like the previous Major Order where you have to defend the silos - players were complaining about the difficulty, but once they figure out the strategy that works it became a lot simpler.
