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. It's also possible to use medium armor penetrating weapons such as the Anti-Material Rifle to destroy its legs and topple the Strider.
 * 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.
