Helldivers 2: What Are Scout Striders & Where to Find Them?

With the first major content cycle of Helldivers 2 coming soon, now is the most important time to stock up on some Medals and Samples. The upcoming Cutting Edge Warbond is going to feature 3 new primary weapons, as well as 3 new armor sets, which are sure to become staples in the meta for the next few weeks. Unlocking them as fast as possible is going to be crucial, and one of the best ways to earn some extra Medals is through the daily Personal Order mission. These missions often require players to go and defeat certain enemies in the Galactic War.

The latest Personal Order requires 15 Scout Strider kills within the next 24 hours. With the game missing a bestiary, some players might not be familiar with which enemy type this is, so in this article, we are going to show you how they look like and where you can find them!

What Are Scout Striders in Helldivers 2?

The Scout Strider enemies are the two-legged robots with frontal armor from the Automaton Faction. They look very similar to the AT-ST vehicles from the Star Wars universe. The best way to deal with Scout Striders is to flank them and dispose of the driver that is operating the vehicle. If you find it hard to reposition, using grenades, Stratagems, and armor-piercing rounds can make short work of this enemy type. Scout Striders are usually not alone, so expect many other Automaton enemies to be trying to fight back whenever you find them. Here is a picture of the Scout Strider enemy in Helldivers 2:

You will not have any issue finding these enemies around the map, as they are a fairly common enemy type in the Automaton faction.
