As a Autocannon main, this is such great news for me. God damn auto kept on winning

I was literally just looking for a Factory Strider video from a trustworthy source.....and here we are.

If you toss a stun grenade while it’s deploying devastators out of its belly it will fail to deploy them. Spill oil!

From a fellow helldiver appreciating of all the liberty you spread

You can also spend 5 to 20 mins on top of it and devestators will take it down eventually.

Common eagle airstrike W

getting under the factory strider was always the way i went, i used the eruptor and that’s capable of destroying the miniguns on its head in 1-2 shots, after i destroyed the miniguns and the big cannon on the back, essentially turning it into a big walking robot puppy, throwing a stun grenade at its underside as its spitting out devastators actually cancels it and no devastators will drop, from then on i just unload mags on its underside

Man thanks for not just these long gameplays for me to learn from but the commentary tips and tricks 😅

I think AC sentry is worth a mention, it does require you to kill the top turret first but once that is done just drop the AC miles away and it's done.

Our squad has found that one orbital laser and an eagle air strike make for a quick take down of a factory strider and the support bots around it.

Awesome vid! As an LC main, I'd just like to shout out that the Laser Canon crit bonus works WONDERS when shining it in their eye. Ive found 3-5 seconds of sustained fire reliably takes them down, and id be remiss not to sing praises anytime my big beautiful laser pointer is useful

2:22 -I have a high-velocity cannon pointed at your chest -I can dodge it

Eagle Airstrike is your bread and butter. Secret MVP.

No exaggeration, your channel is the most reliable for hd2 content, keep up the great work

Paused @2:03 First time seeing a Factory Strider on 4 yesterday; killed within 60sec via: x1 Orbital Cannon Strike x1 500kg Air strike Thank you for attending my TED talk.

Thank you, been waiting a while for this from you

I love, love, love fighting these- action packed!

I have a stupid question: what is your keyboard and mouse assignment? Or to put it another way, why did you change the key assignment? And the sunglasses function on my helmet is broken. I'll probably have to ask HQ if I can get a replacement

I literally only watch this channel and ohdough for quality helldivers info. Thanks for everything 🍻

In my experience about 5-10 seconds of the laser cannon beam to the underbelly takes it out the most efficient and consistently

I haven't had a chance to try them out since the were re-added, but you used to be able to blow of the face place with heavy pen weapons and then destroy it rather quickly from the font with most med-pen (iirc) weapons. Did they removed this?

Maybe its just the weird explosion shape and RNG of the 500kg, but I have 1 shot 2 separate factory striders with them. One was a direct hit to the head, the other was under its belly. There is something there, but there are enough more consistent methods that figuring out how the 500kg works is probably not worth it.

Great video thank you

what is with hellfire? i know they are highly underated and i use them but i couldnt tell if they are usefull against them

I'm glad they didn't tell us. Dropped into a mission and it spawn. Holy F that was a scary moment trying to figure out how to kill it with my load out I was using.

Did you try the thermite granade? I doubt it can oneshot but hoping to find a ok use for it.

DefendTheHouse discovered if you call in a Patriot Exosuit on it, the clipping insta-kills the strider

Great video

I was playing a SUICIDE level eredication defence mission and 4 of these mfs dropped on us within 10 seconds of each other. We barely made it out of there alive

I fought one of these solo today. Straight up felt like a boss fight.

What gun are you using in the first clip btw, I don’t know why o don’t recognize it.

Autocannon chads, we win again (as usual)

Can you kill the miniguns with the Senator?

The news about the 380 will make my chaos-loving, team-killing buddy happy 🤣

"Any problem can be solved with a sufficient amount of orbital bombardment"- Sun Tzu probably

I didn't hear you mention it so I'm guessing rocket pods don't work well against it?

Anyway a AMR sniper can hurt it?! I tend to run Amr jumpack a lot and shoot tanks in the back or 2 shot hulks. Leaves 1-2 strangers left

What about the Eruptor on it?

Didn't see it mentioned, they also have a weakpoint on their face, right where their "nose" would be. There is a thin strip where medium armor pen weapons can kill it, you can even use the normal laser cannon to kill both miniguns and the face.

Brood commander missions are also found in difficulty 1 btw.

I am really surprised that you didn't mention the Laser Cannon. It is one of the best weapons for Factory Striders. Another fantastic Strat to bring is the HMG Emplacement.

Lol I was like wait the illuminate enemies dropped?! Then I realized I had misheard eliminate for illuminate lol . Great vid tho thanks for the info !

A practical way in the future might be to fire an airburst rocket launcher at the underside of the factory strider because the airburst rocket launcher has a proximity fuse.

The precision strike also work wonder on those. One precision strike nearly OS them, and it's quite easy to pull it under their feets

Blow off the top turret with the quasar cannon and then throw the laser stratagem. Also two hits to the under belly from the quasar cannon will kill it no problem. Done this several times already on strider hunting missions. Out in the wild it's a different story.

Easiest way I found was to drop a shield generator emplacement and then thump it in the face with a quasar cannon. The shield will tank all the minigun shots for quite a while before it gives up and it's definitely longer than the time you'll need with a quasar to fire two shots into it's face.

The Hellbomb tip at the end made me think of the SEAF Artillery Mini-Nuke shells. Are those as powerful as Hellbombs or do they fail to take these out in one shot?

I found two 500s to be fine on it and with a team it's very easy to get to 500s off cuz they're so slow moving. Haven't played with the airstrike too much on it.

the reson why the eagal airstrike is good aginst them is because the side of the strider is weakness too. u can use lasor canon to kill it from the sides one eagal air strike and one lasor canon or the other way around

Mortars are also a great way of dealing with them

never fought one that close. last night we were killing them from half a map away with a dozen quazar shots or so.

I did not even know they had the mini guns or that they spawn devastators since every time I have seen them in-mission they are instantly replaced by 4 glowing suns of 500kg explostions, 32 grenades, 2 cluster bombs and a orbital lazer.

You think they'll ever fix the FOV impacting the size of your scope?

My team and I always take 380/120mm barrages and Eagle airstrikes against bots. Along with at least one or two people with Autocannons, it makes dealing with them a breeze.

I found that the 500kg bomb was effective in taking it down or at least damaging it heavily, but just like with the bile titan, it needs to be in the right spot. The strider needs to be walking over it as the bomb explodes, this can be a little tricky. My two orbital railcannon strikes, however, decided that they needed to kill some ants instead, and didn't even bother locking on. May have just been bad luck. Also, first time encountering these was the night before last. Loading into a level 9 bot thinning mission, I said to my teammates "hey, wonder if we'll see the strider". Not even 10 seconds after landing, a dropship brings one in right in front of us.

Ive been using SPEAR.. from across the map.

I was doing a geological survey mission on suicide and there was 3 of these at the same time.

just like the space laser i have seen the rail cannon strike take it out in one shot and also not. so I say if you got it send it, could work out.

One thing that me and my buddy tested is that the mini-nuke from SEAF artillery sites one-shots is. HE two-shots it. And normal explosives take 2 to 4 depending on where they hit... for some reason... One thing that I need to mention is that smoke has proven invaluable to me in defeating these as - be it through a bug or an actual thing - their miniguns will refuse to lock on most of the time

Summary of the video: There's a new mission to kill the factory striders. You can shoot the cannon off the top and turrets off the front, but this isn't effective for killing. You can shoot the vents as they open, but this is also really slow. You can kill it it with 380 barrage if it hits but it's rng. The 500kg bomb isn't good. It's under belly is very weak, but you can't realistically get to it in a full fight. The nukes around the map will one shot it if it's close to one. The auto cannon backpack weapon is likely the best weapon you can use against it. It will kill the turrets and cannon quickly, and even kill the strider with about half a mags worth of well places shots in the red light on its face. The eagle air strike can kill it if it's perpendicular to you and you hit it with most of the bombs. The orbital laser usually needs to be combined with other strategems like the rail cannon to kill it.

1 mini nuke from an artillery also wrecks these things so if you get a mini nuke, note what slot its in and save it for when you need to take one of these down

The orbital laser? No, no, with Democracy we can hit it with the FOURBITAL LASER!

Takibo pls try the orbital gas strike against a bug breach. Imo it works just as good if not better than the ealge napalm. The bugs dont make it out of the breach since they die almost instantly (basically like napalm) but i see its use better because of the recharge time. Which is 75 seconds! making it always ready for the time delay on the next bug breach. Pls try it out. I always make sure it lands on the breache and i constantly get 40+ killsstreaks. I think its really slept on

I am missing one extremly strong option in this which is the Autocanon sentry it is really fast taking them down

How about the spear?

How does this respond to an EMP Strike?

What's up legend.

I just orbital laser it, I’m not getting close to that thing

I was using the patriot exo suit against the factory strider and it took me 6 or 7 headshots until it finally destroyed

You should try the flamethrower shield backpack rail cannon orbital and 110 rocket pods stratagems in a video one time

The AC sentry does work on the Factory Striders as well

I literally saw one strider being dropped by a dropship in the command bunker mission

rocket pods are also good. most of the time it takes me 2 but sometimes even 1 does it

As a level 9 nerd, these things come in 2 to a bot drop, sometimes. That happens, I'm throwing a 380 and fucking running. One of them, I have 500 kgs and precision strikes for that. And the gatling guns on the chin are FAR more deadly than the cannon turret, IMHO.

U never mentioned blowing off the sides covers

Would love to see you and ohdough coop a helldive

I have killed multiple factory striders with the 500 kilo bomb with one hit. You just have to throw it on top of its back near the vents.

Is it possible to get a mobility kill by, say, damaging one of its legs?

I was playing wradicate automaton mission on helldive and we got like 6 striders!

If you land on them you can have the bots try and shoot you down (and therefore, shoot it's underbelly)

I feel dumb for not thinking about the hellbombs littered around the map

id only found one strider so far so all i could have contributed was, they die pretty quickly to three orbital lasers being called on them at once, lol

I just got a mission with 2 of my friends when every drop keep dropping 2 of these. We fought around 20 of Factory Strider on one mission. I have to tell you, 2 Stratagem Jammers on the map didn't help. I'm very happy to watch this video, let me see what is your approach towards this guys...

Fun fanct the spear can 1 tap the the turret on the top and it will auto aim to it

Worth noting the units that are set to be killed in a mission to kill them are tougher IE a strider or Titan kill mission will have a tougher one than what you find en mass in diff 7

The spear while wacky to aim can take out the striders and its guns in a few shots, hulks in one and buildings in one all from very far away.

I need a kick ass explosive lever action long gun that does ridonkulous damage

Only 600 views in the first 11 minutes? Takibo fell off. (This is just a comment for the algorithm, I have known about this channel for like 3 days and appreciate the content 😅)

We had 4 of these drop 1 rocket into a tower defense new map on suicide mission level... We died very quickly

there 100% should be a difficulty 9 "eliminate factory strider convoy" mission or something where its 3 or 4 factory striders walking in a line or whatever

Man the new defense missions are near impossible so many striders

man, those are bombs the eagle airstrike drops, not rockets. simple difference is that rockets are self propelled, bombs get all their propulsion from the plane dropping them. other than that, nice vid and thanks for the info, soldier 🫡

Two 500KG kills them thou.. but yeah perhaps not the best cost efficientcy

If you hit a 500kg bomb under the strider it should one shot him, I did it once. Easier on standing targets, mine was luck it went right under its legs.

little early, so loney

A second one kinda ruins your Strat though, no more laser, rail cannons on cooldown,

4:30 in and you haven't gotten to the point yet, this is a bit silly man

Seen ppl say these were hell… 1st 1 I seen was at end of a lv9 difficulty during evac and it got dropped on top of a stranded hellbomb and it went flying/rag dolling 200 feet in the air 😂 easiest enemy yet

I know content creators are annoyed when companies stealth-add features to games, but I think that it also causes us players to watch *way* more videos to find out if anything new has come out yet.

Have any one tested it with spear
