Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, has garnered a dedicated following with its intense multiplayer action set in a galactic war. With hundreds of thousands of players engaged in the ongoing conflict, even the slightest changes to the game are quickly noticed. However, the emergence of the Shriekers represents a unique discovery, with players taking to social media to share their encounters with this unexpected adversary.
Reports of the Shriekers first surfaced following the rollout of the version 1.000.102 update, which primarily focused on adjustments to weapon and enemy balance. Players began encountering these flying menaces during missions against the Terminid faction, leading to speculation about their origins and capabilities.

They are often spotted near clusters of mushroom-like structures, which bear a striking resemblance to the Terminid Spore Spewers, further adding to the mystery surrounding their appearance.
