Shrieker Nest

Shrieker Nests are a Secondary Objective and tactical asset in Helldivers 2, which have a chance to appear in Challenging Difficulty Missions or higher on Terminid Planets. Shrieker Nests are a particularly dangerous sight as they spawn waves of Shriekers; winged Terminid warriors that swoop down from the skies to perform hit-and-run attacks against Helldivers on the ground.
==Identifying==
They look similar to a Spore Spewer, but can be identified specifically by the three mushroom-like structures in the nest, as opposed to the single large mushroom present on spewers. Much like spewers, they can be identified from a distance by a bioluminescent yellow glow.
==Strategy==
The nests have a detection range of 130m and will not deploy Shriekers if there are no Helldivers within this range. The safest method to destroy them is by using long-distance explosive weapons, bombarding them from long range until all 3 nests are destroyed. EAT-17s, GR-8 Recoilless Rifle, and the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon are the most effective weapons to use against them as two shots from each will destroy a single nest. The LAS-98 Laser Cannon is also a viable choice, as a 5-second concentrated beam will destroy each nest.
Stratagems such as the Eagle Airstrike, Orbital Laser Strike, or Orbital Barrages can also make short work of them in close proximity. A runner can be assigned to deliver the stratagem while the remaining teammates provide cover.
A Hellbomb can also be deployed to destroy all three nests at the same time if placed near the center. This is a risky method, as Shriekers can continuously spawn en masse and overwhelm any potential Helldivers in the vicinity.
