Helldivers 2 Player Runs Into Bugged Flying Charger
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has been calling all sightings of flying bugs "propaganda" spread by anti-democracy malcontents, but one footsoldier spotted a flying Charger while on a mission to seal Terminid holes.
The Shriekers are real, even if Arrowhead swears they're not. Swarms of them will descend on you at break-neck speed and put an end to your bravado quicker than a misplaced orbital strike from a careless teammate. But the flying Chargers aren't.

Just ignore the comments asking for it to be a feature, yeah?
Thankfully, a patch from earlier this month buffed the flamethrower and made it incredibly effective against these giant bruisers, so if you see one take flight, burn it. Kill it with fire.
