Helldivers 2 - My introduction to Factory Striders.

A quick video showing my first run in with a Factory Strider. To say it was a surprise how it was revealed would be an understatement. I knew they were in the game at this stage but to basically land on it had us all run in a mad panic! Unfortunately the game was dropped right were the video ends so I had to restart again. I didn't want to lose this encounter though so I decided to leave it as its own small clip. Enjoy :)

That first homie called in a strike on himself thinking he was sacrificing himself to kill the strider

When Factory Striders were just a rumor, I remember playing against Automatons and it was just business as usual until we walked up to the top of a hill to see beyond it was just this giant tower that took me a second to realize that it actually was on legs and that it was looking at us now and starting to come our way. I remember my team and I were throwing everything we had at it desperately trying to find it's weak points as all the call-ins we had that could do damage happened to be all on cooldown so we were stuck taking pot shots at it with our support weapons. It was like a damn boss fight that I can't believe that those things can actually go down faster than it took for me and my team the first time XD

They do have a way of making themselves look cinematic on their approach, the big majestic robot horses 😂 Man I still don’t know where the weak spots are on the Factory Striders, I normally just go for the top gun and then the two chin turrets and just hope it works itself out from there 😂😂

[@olliedeaney8740]

This gonna sound dumb considering they’re called factory striders but I didn’t know they spawned in lil dudes 😭😭

[@faogain]

It definitely is one of those "Oooohhhhhhh!" moments once you realize it spawns in the ground units. I don't know yet if they are the same every time but I've seen that thing drop a group of around 6-8 devastators before!

[@palasta]

I wouldn't call devastators lil dudes...

[@AspenFrostt]

@@palasta compared to the big dog

[@savathunthejudge914]

That's not a helldiver situation. That's an ARMORED CORE situation

[@mikaelrodriguez7415]

I forgot about armored Core I want to play it now

[@IncapableLP]

Oh, yours too? We also dropped in, right next to one...aaaand the second one, that was like 100 meters away, directly on the extraction-point. That was fun ^^

[@MortSalazar]

I've been looking to fight one since they dropped, and you just drop on top of them immediately

[@faogain]

Not sure if it was a curse or a blessing that we found it this way haha

[@majkels5394]

And there is some dude on yourube "fighting" that on difficulty 4 (where that thing bearly does anything) and says "wery easy to kill"

[@apisitprasan8766]

Damn,i never seen one before...i wonder if i'll ever get to fight one.

[@user-wu7lc9gb6g]

You will now buddy, you’ll see anywhere from 3-5 per helldive with the most recent patch

[@PantzShidded]

SPREADING DEMOCRACY LIKE A M'FERRRRR!!!!

[@faogain]

ALL FOR SUPER EARTH!!!

[@MacCalloom]

I find it weird that I only see them once every few operations

[@rocknmetal4life94]

One of these died on top of a hatch you need to open for the ICBM launch and no one could get to it.... We all died... :/
