Taking Down the Factory Strider in Helldivers 2: A Comprehensive Guide

The Factory Strider is a nasty piece of work, but with the right tactics, you can bring it down. Here's a breakdown of its weak points and how to exploit them:

Sides: Marked by white insignias, these are the prime targets. Two Quasar Cannon blasts or well-placed Autocannon fire can do the trick.

Underbelly Spawner: Risky, but grenades tossed into the opening deal heavy damage.

Other Weak Points (Less Recommended): Joints and head can be targeted, but their effectiveness is unreliable.

Disabling the Strider's weaponry makes it significantly less dangerous. Focus on:

Top Laser Cannon: Destroyed in one hit with the Quasar Cannon, EAT-17, Spear, or Railcannon Orbital.

Head Machine Guns: One shot from the Autocannon silences each gun.

Orbital and Eagle Strike Options:

Eagle 500kg Bomb: Reliable but requires two hits.

Railcannon Orbital: One-shot solution for the top cannon.

Orbital Laser: More reliable than the Railcannon Orbital for hitting the top cannon.

Eagle 110mm Rocket Pods: Can take out the top cannon but might miss.

Eagle Airstrike: Great for overall damage but requires close proximity.

Pro Tip: The "Kitchen Sink" Strategy

This popular tactic involves unleashing a barrage of Stratagems on the Strider. Coordinate with your squad and unload everything you have: Eagle Strikes, Orbital Lasers, Railcannons – the whole shebang. This overwhelms the Strider quickly.
