What are Scout Striders in Helldivers 2?
Scout Striders are part of the Automaton faction of Helldivers 2 and look like a two-legged bot vehicle, much like something off Star Wars.
It’s a taller vehicle with a robot on its back controlling the weapon coming out of its main body part and can pack quite a punch to any unprepared team – it’s not to be underestimated.
Scout Striders location in Helldivers 2
You’ll find Scout Striders in all Automaton planets, so on the right-hand side of the galaxy map. However, to come across the Scout Striders, you’ll want to drop into these planets on medium or higher difficulty, so be prepared for a challenge.
Thankfully, they’re not limited to a few planets, so there’s no need to worry about certain locations being liberated or too busy for you to join.
How to kill Scout Striders in Helldivers 2
With the way the Scout Striders are designed, the front of the enemy is completely bulletproof, so the best way to kill one is to either get behind it or blow it up.
Thankfully the back is always exposed, so as long as you can get behind it without being in danger, you’ll be able to take it down easily as it’s pretty weak back there. Alternatively, a few grenades or Strategem never hurt anyone (well apart from the bugs and robots).
