I hate Shriekers. Only takes 2-3 hits to kill you with a swarm of 50 on your ass, you can’t really take cover other than dodging, and you can’t dial the extraction without dying if they’re coming for you.

I also hate that I can’t close a bug breach with a grenade.

It’s like the devs don’t play their own game.

Being prone actually helps a lot against Shriekers. I personally thought this mission was really well done by the devs. I was only playing on level 7 though, maybe it's impossible at higher levels?

I play on Helldive but I’ve been busy for a couple days, I haven’t played this newfangled mission but I will tomorrow and report back

Godspeed

Alright, update. Took me two tries to beat it with randoms, wasn’t as bad as I expected. Gatling sentry puts in the WORK. I ran Gatling sentry, auto cannon sentry, cluster bomb and EATS.

For extract I threw down my Gatling and stayed near it, prone. That negated most of the problems from the flybois and let me focus on taking down chargers. Autocannon sentry worked wonders on the biles, just gotta get the placement.

I also had some good team mates so I’m sure that helped. I had the second most kills at 234 and the top was 245

I've played it at least a half dozen times at level 7 and as long as the chargers and bile titans don't spawn in under the drills multiple times it is manageable.

If they kept chargers and bile titans from spawning into the drill and insta-killing and fixed the fliers in lower levels it would be awesome.
