    Where to Find and Defeat Scout Striders in Helldivers 2

    Scout Striders in Helldivers 2 are Automaton units known for their two-legged design, which resembles the iconic AT-ST walkers from the “Star Wars” universe. This enemy type has thick front armor equipped with a turret that lets them do long-range attacks against players, making frontal assaults difficult.

    These striders can be a pain to deal with, and the game doesn’t exactly tell you its weak spots head-on, but don’t fret. This guide will teach you how to defeat Scout Striders in Helldivers 2 and where to easily find them during your playthrough.

    Where to Find Scout Striders in Helldivers 2

    What are Scout Striders in Helldivers 2

    Scout Striders can be found in Automaton-controlled planets, specifically on the western side of the galaxy map, characterized by red zones. Malevelon Creek is a notably famous location for encountering Scout Striders, and they appear more frequently in missions of medium or higher difficulty.

    A Scout Strider’s weak point is the pilot; a few shots to the body or a single headshot will bring them down. However, their front armor is thick and equipped with long guns, so you’ll have to figure out how to get past them.

    Here are some of the best ways to easily defeat a Scout Strider in Helldivers 2:

    1. Find a high ground and have a good view to kill the pilot.
    2. Slide past between the strider’s legs and shoot the pilot in the back.
    3. Shoot the Strider’s legs to bring it down.
    4. Use the environment to circle around the strider and find an opening to shoot the pilots in the back.
    5. Use explosives like Stratagems and Grenade Launchers. Even if the explosion doesn’t land directly behind the pilot, it can still kill many striders with a single burst.
    6. Use the Scorcher or Flamethrower. Two or three rounds to the faceplate will kill the pilot hiding behind the strider and cause splash damage.

    Scout Striders may be easy to kill, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t lethal. Given their elevated position, pilots will always have the upper hand unless you happen to be perched on a hill. Try out the several approaches listed above until you find a gameplay style that works for you.
