2. ⚡ Railgun: Powerful but Accuracy is Key
- ✅ A fully charged Railgun can take down a War Strider in one shot if you accurately aim at one of the new weaknesses.
- ⚠️ The hitbox of the eye area is very small, and aiming is difficult because the Railgun doesn't have a scope.
- ✅ The rear vent is easier to hit than the eye, but it must be fully charged and the War Strider must be facing the other way.
00:44 - 01:16
3. 🚀 Spear: Stable 2-Shot Kill, Plus Gas Confusion Effect
- ✅ The Spear can kill in 2 shots if you aim for the eye.
- ⚠️ If you aim for the rear vent, it is difficult to hit more than one shot because the War Strider rotates quickly to attack.
- ✅ Tip: It's good to aggro with your primary weapon and then aim for the eye with the Spear.
- ✅ Additionally, the gas confusion effect can cause enemies to attack each other, which is especially useful when fighting Hulks.
01:17 - 01:33
4. 🎯 AMR: Specialized for Precision Shooting
- ✅ The AMR is effective against War Striders because it can precisely aim at the eye through a 200-meter scope.
- ✅ Thanks to its 7-round magazine capacity and the ability to take down a War Strider in 3 shots, you can take down 2 units without reloading.
01:34 - 01:45
5. 💥 Autocannon: Requires a Skilled Shooter
- ✅ The Autocannon can take down a War Strider if you hit the eye 3 times.
- ⚠️ Accurate aiming may be difficult due to the nature of the Autocannon.
01:46 - 01:56
6. 🚀 Commando: Excellent One-Shot Power
- ✅ The Commando can take down a War Strider in one shot if you aim for the eye or vent.
- ✅ If your aim is good, you can take down up to 4 War Striders with one shot.
01:57 - 02:05
7. ✨ E-Fork: Versatile Choice
- ✅ The E-Fork can take down a War Strider if you hit the eye twice.
- ✅ Aiming for the legs or crotch is an easier method.
02:06 - 02:27
8. 🔥 Laser Cannon & Heavy Machine Gun: Inefficient Choices
- ❌ You can take down a War Strider with a Laser Cannon or Heavy Machine Gun, but it takes a very long time.
- ⚠️ It is difficult to use because you have to keep aiming at the weak points while avoiding grenades and lasers.
02:28 - 02:57
9. 🎯 Spear: Powerful Even in Unpredictable Situations
- ✅ The Spear is one of my favorite weapons.
- ✅ If you lock on and fire, you can always take it down in one shot.
- ✅ The missile modifies its trajectory to accurately hit the target.
- ⚠️ If you are too close, the missile may pass the target.
- ✅ You can target War Striders and Hulks even in sandstorms or blizzards, and you can take them down from very long distances.
02:58 - 03:38
10. 🚀 Meta Launchers (Expendable Anti-Tank, Recoilless Rifle, Quasar Cannon): Still a Powerful Choice
- ✅ Expendable Anti-Tank, Recoilless Rifle, and Quasar Cannon are still S-tier launchers and easily destroy War Striders.
- ✅ You can take it down in one shot by aiming for the legs, leg joints, crotch, or new weaknesses.
- ⚠️ It is safer and more effective to aim for the legs or crotch as before, rather than aiming for the new weaknesses.
03:39 - 04:04
11. 🏆 Conclusion: Best Weapon Combination Against War Striders
- ✅ My favorite weapons are still S-tier launchers and the Spear.
- ✅ Thanks to the new weaknesses, various support weapons can be used effectively against War Striders.
