Helldivers 2 Patch Adds Terrifying New Flying 'Shrieker' Enemy Bugs, Alongside Major Community Event
-
Helldivers 2 received a new patch that nerfed some enemies but also stealthily added terrifying new flying Shrieker bugs that dive from above to attack players.
-
Shriekers are encountered when the map has one of their nests as a destroyable side objective, like the mushroom-shaped Spore Towers.
-
Shriekers are nimble but have low health, so rapid-fire guns and automated drones/sentries are a good strategy against them.
-
Arrowhead's CEO jokingly claimed on Twitter that "bugs can't fly" and that Shriekers are propaganda, playing along with the stealth addition.
-
The patch and new Shrieker bugs arrive alongside Helldivers 2's biggest "Major Order" community event yet to liberate planets from the bugs.
