As a Autocannon main, this is such great news for me. God damn auto kept on winning
AC fans keep on winning
My fav support weapon, though it takes up backpack slot
Hell yeah, helldiver! For democracyyyyyyy
Autocannon + shield emplacement = Factory Reset
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH ITTTTTTT!
If you toss a stun grenade while it’s deploying devastators out of its belly it will fail to deploy them. Spill oil!
I was literally just looking for a Factory Strider video from a trustworthy source.....and here we are.
Why would any lie about how to kill a factory strider?
Can't answer your question. But I can for sure say that he is talking lies here
@@turtlesrprettycool3379 I don't know that anyone in the HD2 discourse has lied about such things, but I do see some differences in how people go about testing mechanics.
So far I have found the most value in Takibo and Eravin's content.
Possibly "trustworthy" was the wrong word to use here when really what I meant was that I like the way Takibo tests and presents information
@@PaperMage236i see
U got Thiccfila. U got Crazymrpipz. U got a few homie

Does the uploader get that money or are you paying YT to have the comment boosted?
It says when you click on the thanks option you “directly support the creator”

That's cool
@sephiroth8377 the poster gets something like 80 percent of the donated amount.
You can also spend 5 to 20 mins on top of it and devestators will take it down eventually.
When they brought them out the first my buddy and I both landed on one. 4 hellpods kill it, we had a good time putting an autocannon turret on one and temporarily turning it into a friendly gun platform lol
That’s just wasteful
@@thisiswhatilike54 whooosh
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.
Well, 78 meters as that is maximum engagement range.
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.
Cooincidentally, I always carry both. Except for when they do that 1 Strategem down nonsense.
I think that's the effect currently for all players. I hate it lol @@9unslin9er
@@9unslin9er And even then I carry both. AC + Eagle + Laser is all you need. Although I gotta say, It's tiring to always play this one loadout.
@@squeezyjibbs6643 I am genuinely puzzled at people who pick AMR over Autocannon.
@9unslin9er I'm not. I enjoy both. Better accuracy/scope, better mobility and free backpack slot make it worth picking up.
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

-I have a high-velocity cannon pointed at your chest
-I can dodge it
Common eagle airstrike W
still the goat. I take it over the 500 every time.
Man thanks for not just these long gameplays for me to learn from but the commentary tips and tricks 😅
DefendTheHouse discovered if you call in a Patriot Exosuit on it, the clipping insta-kills the strider
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
even in helldivers, piss in eye is effective
Laser cannon really is underrated, I feel
@@a_bar_of_soap totally agree - the LC is such a useful tool against bots for killing heat sinks (towers, tanks, hulks), emplacements (arty goes down in 3 seconds from any distance), and just good ole fashioned bot-head-popping! Only things it don't do well with are large groups, AT-RTs, and at blowing up Fabs (ALL of which the Eruptor handles with ease for a killer pairing)
In my experience about 5-10 seconds of the laser cannon beam to the underbelly takes it out the most efficient and consistently
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
No exaggeration, your channel is the most reliable for hd2 content, keep up the great work
Eagle Airstrike is your bread and butter. Secret MVP.
never run a mission without it, whether its bots or bugs
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.
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 🍻
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?
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.
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
Mortars are also a great way of dealing with them
I fought one of these solo today. Straight up felt like a boss fight.
"Any problem can be solved with a sufficient amount of orbital bombardment"- Sun Tzu probably
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.
Did you try the thermite granade? I doubt it can oneshot but hoping to find a ok use for it.
The news about the 380 will make my chaos-loving, team-killing buddy happy 🤣
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Brood commander missions are also found in difficulty 1 btw.
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.
Great video
What gun are you using in the first clip btw, I don’t know why o don’t recognize it.
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 !
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.
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 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 precision strike also work wonder on those. One precision strike nearly OS them, and it's quite easy to pull it under their feets
I was doing a geological survey mission on suicide and there was 3 of these at the same time.
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.
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.
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
never fought one that close. last night we were killing them from half a map away with a dozen quazar shots or so.
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
Can you kill the miniguns with the Senator?
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
I didn't hear you mention it so I'm guessing rocket pods don't work well against it?
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.
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.
oh and tanks and turrets in one to two shots.
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.
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
It is a dot, so sometimes it works, and others, it does nothing depending on who the host is.
If you land on them you can have the bots try and shoot you down (and therefore, shoot it's underbelly)
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
The AC sentry does work on the Factory Striders as well
The orbital laser? No, no, with Democracy we can hit it with the FOURBITAL LASER!
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...
You think they'll ever fix the FOV impacting the size of your scope?
I was playing wradicate automaton mission on helldive and we got like 6 striders!
I feel dumb for not thinking about the hellbombs littered around the map
You should try the flamethrower shield backpack rail cannon orbital and 110 rocket pods stratagems in a video one time
I was using the patriot exo suit against the factory strider and it took me 6 or 7 headshots until it finally destroyed
rocket pods are also good. most of the time it takes me 2 but sometimes even 1 does it
Ive been using SPEAR.. from across the map.
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
I swear the bellhivers devs will see that the AC is being used a lot and then proceed to make it worse. They have done it before several times.
Would love to see you and ohdough coop a helldive
I am missing one extremly strong option in this which is the Autocanon sentry it is really fast taking them down
Autocannon chads, we win again (as usual)
Shhhh, I don't want to be nerfed.
Fun fanct the spear can 1 tap the the turret on the top and it will auto aim to it
I literally saw one strider being dropped by a dropship in the command bunker mission
Man the new defense missions are near impossible so many striders
How does this respond to an EMP Strike?
They made the bile titan immune to stuns, so I bet they did the same here. Will have to try.
@@PaperMage236 Yep. Although it prevents it from deploying devastators
I just orbital laser it, I’m not getting close to that thing
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
Destroy factory strider factory.
They’d be dropping more striders than you are sent to destroy. That factory strider factory idea though. Thats some high level bullsheet.
What about the Eruptor on it?
I need a kick ass explosive lever action long gun that does ridonkulous damage
What's up legend.
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.
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 🫡
Is it possible to get a mobility kill by, say, damaging one of its legs?
it dies when its leg is damaged but that takes some time
On ohdoughs video it takes 5 anti tank shots or quasar or rr to kill it via hitting the leg joint.
We had 4 of these drop 1 rocket into a tower defense new map on suicide mission level... We died very quickly
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.
How about the spear?
4:30 in and you haven't gotten to the point yet, this is a bit silly man
Proffesional yapper in its glory
I once destroyed a strider with a singular orbital laser, don't know how tf
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
Two 500KG kills them thou.. but yeah perhaps not the best cost efficientcy
little early, so loney
Mines work well just need to bait it over them
A second one kinda ruins your Strat though, no more laser, rail cannons on cooldown,
