shrieker (the flying bugs) is real and need rebalance already

[jguo1]

I have met with the new flying bug shriekers 3/5 N7 on new major order planets and boi that's not a pleasant journey for any solo players out there. Shriekers' nests are usually very far away and they are not down easily by just small arms (show recashain from SG-225) or even EAT. 500KG do remove them but you need at least 2-3 500KG to get all 3 pillars of the nest out due to the small radius. And each time a pillar is down there would be at least 6 more shriekers spawn instantly. Unlike stalkers, these flying bugs can either teleport or fly really fast to get you once they have spawned from 300 m away and it's really terrible when you just have to abandon all jobs on hand and go destroy their nest first. Or your mission would go sour even faster than the ones with stalkers.
Please leave a comment to let us know if you have tried other weapons such as other eagle options/ AC 8/ rockets, etc to the shrieker nest.

came across them for the first time in a solo blitz T7 and having their nest + stalker nest next to the nests I need to clear was cancer.

I suggest the rover. It's a rather good AA gun.

They can one shot a player. That's unbalanced in single or multiplayer.

Yeah they can one shot the player.

So can the stalker, the hunter, the spewer , the bile titan… what else?

What’s the relevance?

Use shield if its hard for you. They're made of paper and you can call in a hellbomb on them so their nest can always be destroyed. They're fine as they are. Play easier difficulty.

Playing on an easier difficulty is easy saying. Maybe it helps in his case. But not everyone can do that when people try to find some Super Samples. They only drop on difficulty 7 and higher. But I also think they are fine. When we finally have head armor it should be way better against them and especially Hunters.

I get them about 50% of the time on difficulty 5.

Please buff flying bugs or make bigger flying bugs maybe the size of chargers, thanks.

Their corpses also kill you in 1hit or nearly all of your HP, one brushed up against me and I was down 80% HP. Can they ever test anything before they release it?

this happened to me too omg this pissed me off so much, then I crashed though so I guess it didn't really matter in the end

2 EAT rockets or 9 Auto Cannon rounds can take it out at range so far they won't spawn.

If you get close enough they so spawn you can use some Orbital attacks. Just lead you shots and learn to skeet shoot cause they go down quick.

These nest are no worse than attempting to rush in and solo a detector tower solo on Bot mission, but remember this game they want us squishy stealthy.

honestly just spawning them mid air is already problematic, same issue as patrols except they instantly dive for the player

[Tantrumus]

thier hit box is the size of a dime....i tested shooting them with about 4 diff weapons and finally gave up....just let them fly around w/e. Last night was not fun at all. Im a pretty big HD2 fanboy but the devs are so eager to push stuff out that its getting a little much on the belief that any QA is happening or any form of end user experience testing. Feels like too many cooks in the kitchen.

What does this mean? I've been trying to figure it out for like five minutes.

Only if you suck at dodging.

One pillar takes exactly 10 shots from the autocannon, even from very far away. So 30 for the whole nest. I found that to be the best way to get rid of them, after wasting 2 500kg bombs on one pillar.

Honestly found a few sporadic fliers a fun surprise, but anything beats trying to enter and hellbomb the dang thing, that's about as much fun as repeatedly jumping up and down on a fire ant nest while covered in honey.

Pretty sure OP hadn't figured out the other methods and got upset from the cluster of trying to Hellbomb it.
