Reports from Helldivers 2 players suggest a new type of enemy has joined the frey: a bug breed possibly called the "Shrieker."
That's all been gleaned from a video shared on the Helldivers 2 subreddit by user Projectpatdc, who appeared very surprised to suddenly be attacked by an unknown Terminid foe.
On Reddit, user Litnos has also shared a sighting, adding that the "Shriekers" appeared for them as a random side objective similar to Stalkers.
In the Reddit clip, Projectpatdc is in the middle of a standard refinery mission at level 5 difficulty when the Shrieker strafing begins.
A single strike deals over half of their HP, and the pest immediately escapes back to the sky.
The surprise sightings coincide with the beginning of a major order that introduced an additional mission type to Helldivers 2.
The Ministry of Truth agrees that this is propaganda from bug sympathizers that want to brainwash good people.". »
