Helldivers 2 - Factory Strider Weak Spot Guide & Tips

howdy and hello I'm do hope you're doing good we have more weak spot testing on the factory Strider some things I wasn't aware of one of which they made the face take more damage the eye at least before it was not this weak it took a full laser beam now it takes a quarter of laser beam cankles able joint the face and this shape the pictures later those are weak spots but not all weak spots are treated the same underbelly may change two anti-tanks blow the side and the top vents making then weak as well and sometimes they're weak enough to be penetrated by medium armor pin such as all the center Mass spots are when exposed and there is also a neck weak spot this is not weak to medium arm my experience neither is a face examples of armor stripping familyfriendly of course two side shots remove the panel and once it's gone it can be shot by medium armor penetration which is pretty good back shots aim above the opening vent on the behind and two shots removes the vent and exposes the upper portion as well face shots hit the red square but understand you can't hit the brain with medium armor pin you need heavy and that works with the HMG imp placement or heavy machine gun and all things above that as well most support weapons will have higher than that except for stall and machine gun and whatnot the Vince on the back I don't know if there heat sinks cuz Scorch can't damage them and if a scor can't damage it I wouldn't call it a heat SN this takes more Dam Sun guns and others and I don't feel like putting a timer on screen for laser cannon so instead I'm using a language all folks can understand autoc Cannon here we have the underbelly takes six shots pretty simple that'll probably get removed though when it spawns in the Devastators it opens up the vent in the back five shots I think I may have miscounted that high shot five allall whatever it is I'm being very careful to make sure I lend the shot so I don't get miscalculations six for the side panel it's four brain six then the back upper panel if removed would be five pretty freaking good so far and the cankles this is where it takes a turn for the worst you really shouldn't be shooting for it just because you can hit it and there's no armor on it doesn't mean it's going to be the best thing ever 13 shots and the back panel if removed the back the upper panel I guess the the vents what are those called dude they're not heat sinks they can't be the time to kill for most weapons is not going to be that different across these weak spots except for on the cankles and the upper vents right here the Pistons and also I believe the elbow crease joint now we have some quazar testing you can twoot the face if you land on the weak spot and if you clear all the ads around this dude he's pretty useless once you break the Min guns and you're close enough the top turret can't hurt you elbow shots at first people made out to seem that this would be super sick it takes four anti-tanks belly shot combination here one quazar into two impact nades followed by three Dominator shots the face only takes a quazar and two impacts so there a little bit of distance there then we have quazar grenade pistol nade into three Dominator shots does one impact grenade equal three Dominator shots here what the math seems like Zen we have quazar double impact grenade pistol lock it in brother supposed to be prepared Bo Scout motto or something like that slogan one one of the two I always forget it would take you two anti-tanks to an exposed side by the by root Shield can be useful Min guns won't shoot you if the shields out facing directly at them turn too far to the side or put it away they spool up and begin firing but don't worry equip it back out and they stop you can use a grenade pistol it takes three grenades to break a single minigun or you can instead shoot seven to n at the underbelly and kill it that way you can also throw grenades from the safety of your Shield to speed up the process and they're pretty good at taking out the Devastators if you have Defender as well once we get a medium pin single handed weapon things will be a bit better for the riot shield HMG in placement can't take damage from the front but turning a little to the side it blows you up in instantaneously in my experience though I sat there for for minutes at a time and didn't take any damage the Min guns are broken in a few shots from the HMG and you can then shoot the underbelly if you're close enough which would be ideal if you can't get the angle in this case I can't see go for the eyeball when you see blue no good orange you're going through and penetrating and doing damage L way I have orbital laser I've had pretty massive inconsistencies with this orbital it can can kill it albeit not that fast given the cool down too I I don't think it's really worth but it tries to beam the back Vin and if it hit him well it'll kill it here's an example where it didn't hit him well I sped it up to make it faster and everything and it just tanked the whole laser it wasn't hitting correctly that's the issue it was hitting the side you wanted to hit those vents instead and here is the most consistent orbital I would say Eagle strike against these guys Apparently one can kill them I haven't had that happen yet so I can't confirm but I do know that two has been 100% kill rate for me and I've done it a few times that's consistent we like that a lot overal 380 is the best barrage in my experience to kill this guy but it's also going to be 50/50 and you'll probably end up dying more often than you but don't worry sometimes you die it dies everyone's happy other times it's just you dying and then you're not so happy so it's a mixed bag of marbles with that one and the blast R is massive Spear's damage is better than you and I thought the lock on is worse than we could possibly imagine together but from the correct distance and angle you hit behind the face/ head area which is good that's the weak spot what does that mean EX exactly you can two short it it's huge when too far away you will always Target the cannon turret up top you may like that you may not but that's what's going to happen once broken though you then Target the undercarriage but you can't really hit it so based on your perspective of The Strider that's where the Rockets will hit and previously it was two shots towards the face but they didn't actually hit the face in this case they are it's still alive I'm not sure if it's broken right now it could be but regardless once this blocks in green let go three shots better than five now for the side angle it'd be cool if one rocket broke the panels which they don't but that'd be really sick it make the spear just a little bit better not the crazy just a little bit better cuz it' be two shots I believe his panel's broken now and that one shot got it if you get manual aim and can just shoot the spear can one shot it that'd be huge a thermite a single thermite can break the Canon turret that's big stuff cuz I've thrown six frags at it and nothing happened just be careful though sometimes these rock walls are not solid them turrets are cheating check them computer and his frag grenades on the eyeball impact grenades rather these can Pierce they have enough penetration I think it's around six or seven whereas the grenade pistol and also grenade launcher can't that's important crossbow does do damage to a broken side panel it's just not very good damage I sat here for a while shooting nothing crazy happened and then grenade pistol takes in this case I believe it was seven rounds grenades whatever the case so it's not nothing by any means crossbow can break these Min guns it is not worth it the damage is a Lie the damage on the crossbow is just a scam truth be told and what's weird is it does damage to these Min guns but the Whatchamacallit plasma Punisher which is also explosive doesn't do damage at least not damage that makes any sense as you would think right here I'd be getting the deflected symbol I don't get that for the crossbow but I get that for scorcher I get that for the plasma Punisher it's strange there's a little bit more to armor penetration than I'm aware of I I know there's levels or I've heard of them but it's weird how they're not listed in that manner for the weapons there's more hierarchy even what the weapons show here's a ROM clip with the crossbow it's kind of nice Primary Weapons can break the front minan turrets but you want one that has medium armor pin and explosive damage those are two things you want to have and right now I believe the only one that has that would be the Dominator takes six shots is maybe seven but a full magazine can kill both turrets the Eruptor can one shot Min guns sometimes other times it can't it's weird there's some strange hitbox stuff going on with Min guns if you break one and shoot the other one on the other side it won't let you sometimes there a hitbox issue that's a d I'm looking directly at it but before I've one shot them so I know it's possible to one shot right now it's just being difficult I just skipped it and this is why I made this video before it took probably a magazine and a half for laser can to kill this guy to the face but it changed they change the damage it requires since releasing it which is a good thing it means you're rewarded for hitting that weak spot on the face and Laser cannon unlike the autoc cannon does the same damage it feels to that weak spot right there and here's the neck joint shown it's that whole Space around it but just a very small place to hit it it's just showing you laser cannon to give you more perspective on how the damage thresholds change compare this time to kill versus the back right there underc carriage and all that just recognize that there's different time to kill for different areas and applies to all weapons mostly the same so the previous video was still helpful there's just a little bit more context I didn't quite understand and that's the video Factory are awes awesome can't wait for the bug version of this even though I think that factory Striders and batt Titans are kind of the same thing folks are saying that tanks and Factory sters are the same thing they're equal I disagree but it's not you know it is what it is thanks for watching have a good day peace these my drawings I'll I'll put text on what the colors mean you know what we should probably explain the colors my bad orange means that you can't penetrate with medium armor but it is always exposed the yellow means once you blow it up using two anti-tanks it still can't be hit with medium armor pin blue it means that medium medium armor pin and up can damage it Zen green when you blow it up with two anti-tanks because it all requires two anti recoiless Eed it quazar Cannon then you can shoot it with medium armor pin and it does big damage and anything above that as well
