Scout Strider

The Scout Strider is a machine operated by a machine, a walking turret guided by the limited intelligence of an Automaton Trooper. This is only another fruitless attempt to grasp true intelligence, in this case by exercising mastery over a machine even more primitive than itself.

Tactics

 * The Scout Striders are protected by boxy armor and operating a powerful turret inside. They're also quite fast and will shoot at Helldiver continuously. In order to defeat it, one must find cover when facing it and use armor-piercing weapons. If a helldiver manages to get behind them (they struggle with turning large amounts), shooting at a Trooper operating the turret will destroy it.
 * Their legs are also vulnerable. Target their legs to immobilize it, then focus on the exposed pilot to finish them off.
 * Getting on elevated ground gives you a huge advantage over them. Even a slight height advantage will frequently allow you to headshot the Trooper from the front over the armor.
