FACTORY STRIDER

• The Factory Strider's massive health pool allows it to take a significant amount of damage, even from offensive Stratagems. The Eagle 500kg Bomb, Orbital Precision Strike, Eagle Strafing Run, and Orbital 380mm HE Barrage are examples of stratagems that can destroy or soften up the Factory Strider for Anti-Tank I armor penetrating Support Weapons. • Two support weapons that can easily destroy a Factory Strider regardless of where it hits are the EAT-411 Leveller and MS-11 Solo Silo. • The Factory Strider's gatling guns are deadly at close range, especially if Helldivers are in front of it. Helldivers can destroy its gatling guns using Medium armor penetrating or higher Support Weapons such as the APW-1 Anti-Materiel Rifle, AC-8 Autocannon, or the LAS-98 Laser Cannon. Helldivers can stim themselves to survive its fusion gatling guns, unless it manages to hit their head. • Oddly, the Factory Strider's fusion gatling guns do not fire at Exosuits. However, its cannon will still fire at them. • The Factory Strider's "eye" is a fatal zone, requiring Heavy armor penetrating weaponry. It is vital for Helldivers to take out their fusion gatling guns first, as the exposed part of the head is small and requires precise aim. Helldivers can destroy their head armor with a single shot from an EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank, GR-8 Recoilless Rifle, LAS-99 Quasar Cannon, or 2 shots from an E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement or MLS-4X Commando. The armor's destruction exposes the entirety of the head to Heavy armor-penetrating support weapons, making it much easier to destroy. • The Factory Strider's undercarriage is another weak spot. Destroying it only requires Medium armor penetrating weaponry, and it has slightly lower health than its eye. Note the constitution has 0 decay, therefore it behaves as hp for a total of 2,400 effective health. However, this requires the Helldiver to be under or near the Factory Strider, and may leave the Helldiver open to its newly-deployed Devastators. Similar to its eye, it is also important for Helldivers to destroy its fusion gatling guns first before going for its undercarriage. Helldivers should aim at an individual undercarriage door as they have separate health pools. • When using machine guns for this method, it is recommended to set their fire rate to its highest. • The Commando is able to deal 2,316 damage with two missiles, allowing any Medium or higher armor-penetrating weapons to easily finish the panel off. • The Factory Strider's feet are also a weak spot. Note the constitution has 0 decay, therefore it behaves as hp for a total of 3,500 effective health. It can be destroyed in 3 shots from the E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement, 2 shots from the Recoilless Rifle, EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank or LAS-99 Quasar Cannon, and only requires one shot from the Bastion's main cannon. The MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines are also a viable strategy, especially so against Factory Striders in a Convoy, as they follow a predictable path, only…
