Shrieker Nest

The Shrieker Nest is an Optional Objective contained within a group of Terminid structures. For as long as they are standing, they will spawn Shriekers: flying Terminids that flock around the nest until a Helldiver draws near. The nests consist of two or three mushroom-like structures similar in shape to Spore Spewers which act as a spawn point for the Shriekers. To complete the Optional Objective, Helldivers must destroy the structures, after which the Shriekers will cease spawning.
Objective Steps
- Destroy Shrieker Nest
- Reward: 200 Requisition, 50 Experience
Anatomy
| Part Name | Health* | AV** | Durable** | % To Main*** | Bleed | Fatal | ExDR**** | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main | 2,500 |  Light |
NO IMAGE | 100% | - | None | Yes | 0% |
* Parts with their HP listed as "Main" do not have their own individual health. All damage dealt to these parts is transferred to the enemy's Main health pool.
** Refer to armor values and enemy durability as defined in Damage.
*** The percentage of damage that is applied to the enemy's Main health pool. At 0 HP, the enemy dies. Unless the enemy has constitution, then it will bleedout and die.
**** ExDR means explosive damage resistance, this is a percentage between 0 and 100. If this value is 100%, the part is explosive immune, meaning explosives cannot damage it.
Explosions will only directly damage Main health if it is internal.
Tactical Information
- Shriekers will not spawn if there are no Helldivers within 130 meters of the nest. Helldivers may know the distance of a point by pinging it.
- Due to the dangerous nature of this structure and the Shriekers it spawns, using a Hellbomb to destroy it is not recommended. Instead, engage it from outside the Shrieker spawning range with one or more of the following:
- The recommended method of destroying a tower is with 2 shots from either the EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank, LAS-99 Quasar Cannon or the EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit's rocket pod. The FAF-14 Spear and GR-8 Recoilless Rifle can deal with one Shrieker tower in one shot.
- Possible alternatives include 9 AC-8 Autocannon shots, 5 G-16 Impact Grenades, 12.5 seconds of sustained fire from the LAS-98 Laser Cannon, or 8 seconds of concentrated E/MG-101 HMG Emplacement fire.
- One E/MG-101 HMG Emplacement or E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement has enough ammo to deal with 3 towers with ammo to spare.
- Worse alternatives, include 18 shots from an APW-1 Anti-Materiel Rifle, or 12 fully charged, unsafe shots from an RS-422 Railgun.
- All Eagle and Orbital stratagems capable of destroying enemy structures, such as Bug Nests, can also destroy these.
- The Helldiver cannot rely on pinging this structure to alert their teammates, as they will say 'Bug hole!' instead of a custom voiceline specific to this structure.
- Landing a Hellpod on a nest structure will damage it. Three Hellpods are required to destroy one tower.
- When getting close to a Shrieker Nest, it is recommended to use Laser weaponry to easily dispatch Shriekers, as the hitscan nature of laser weapons makes them ideal for consistently hitting these agile fliers.
- Aim for their shoulders (where the wings are attached), or head.
