I thought I would be smart, and brought the shield generator to keep out the shriekers. Yeah, that only blocks projectiles, and the shriekers flew right through it…

I tried the shield generator too and was equally bummed it didn’t stop Shriekers. I feel like they should just donk off of it.

shriekers suck more than stalkers.

The meta that is appearing seems to be smoke and ems strikes to obscure and disable rather than a straight kill.

Then use the incendiary breaker to clear up the mess.

I’d say tesla towers as well but they also suck

I think I need to sit down and farm out super credits on some difficulty 1-3 missions so I can buy the Steeled Veterans war bond to get the breaker incendiary

I got 550 kills on that mission using Tesla Towers last night. Next closest person was at 180. I don’t think they kill Shriekers well, but damn do they go hard on this mission.

This is one of the few missions where they shine.

Super cool way to end a mission though! Made it way harder than a normal extract.

It was absolute chaos and I loved it. Brought a Gatling sentry by chance and it was dropping them constantly, but not fast enough. Had an incendiary breaker, but it could barely keep up with them. Constantly spraying with the exosuit dropped more until they destroyed it. It was one of the most intense swarms I’ve ever seen, 10/10.

I made the mistake of bringing a Blitzer as my primary the first time I did it. Those little lightning bolts don’t do shit against Shriekers.

It was a fun follow up to the tunnels spawning directly under the drills!

Yeah had a couple times where a Bile Titan just spawned right on the drill, killing it immediately. It was some bullshit, but still kind of funny.
