Many claimed that the rumors of flying bugs were nothing but bug propaganda, trying to scare Helldivers and stop the TCS Major Order. The same Helldivers are now finding out that they don’t know how to kill Shriekers in Helldivers 2. These flying bugs are now appearing more and more in every mission after the rumors turned out to be true.
How To Find And Kill Shriekers In Helldivers 2
Shriekers can be easily shot out of the sky using assault rifles, marksmen rifles, and sniper rifles. Using the Guard Dog and Sentry Turret Strategems works wonders as well. But they will keep coming until you destroy the nest, similar to a Stalker Lair.
Shrieker Nests are sub-objectives that appear on Challenging difficulty or higher and are comparable to rogue station side objectives that require you to call in a Hellbomb to destroy it. You will have to explore to find them as they won’t be marked on the map.

To get rid of the Shriekers for good, you will have to get close to the nest and call in a Hellbomb, the nests look like mini Spore Towers and will have Shriekers flying above it. Once the Hellbomb drops, activate it and get to a safe distance but keep an eye on it and don’t let get deactivated by Shriekers or other Terminids.
Alternatively, you can also use an Eagle 500kg Bomb Stratagem but you will have to be extremely accurate with it because of its small explosion radius. The Hellbomb does the same in a much wider radius and will ensure all nests are destroyed.
Be careful when approaching Shriekers though as they can one-shot you in a single dive attack. So, be ready to time your dodges perfectly.
