Instead, Fly up onto the roof of the abandoned building. Aim at one or two eggs and fire, before quickly heading to pick them up by holding the interact button. You won't have much time, so move quickly, and then fly back up to the roof. Wait for the swarm to subside before repeating the process.

You can shoot and kill biological horrors, but they will generally just respawn and surround the eggs. Move around the roof, checking for openings where only one or two enemies sit guarding the area. Kill them and quickly collect the eggs. As part of the Expedition 4 mission. You will need to collect 16. This will take time and patience. If you find yourself being swarmed, jetpack straight up and towards the building. They cannot reach you if you are on the roof.
