How do you think you can kill one of these bad boys? Personally, i think you have to shoot out the joints on thier legs, then they'll just fall down.
 
We don't know. Except maybe those who have played the stolen build.
 
Just as the ad says "How many licks does it take to get to the center of Tootsie Roll Pop?", ours should say "How many crowbar hits does it take to bring down a strider?" :p
 
I'm thinking you will have to take out one of thier legs. But, it wouldn't be dead so while it's on the ground you will probably have to suffocate it by teabagging it to death.
 
Make a tower with your resistance buddies, jump onto the Strider's head, get stuck inside it because of clipping errors, then plant 5 tripmines, 5 satchels, 10 grenades, the flare gun's alt fire, and a hungry snark for good measure, and hope to god it dies!
 
9804938319541037291 swings of a crowbar, 8932001157875 shots from a mp7, 800 rockets, and 915807518571343515 bottles of shampoo thrown w/ the manipulator.
 
Manipulator > pick up tin can > aim at the joint between their leg and penis cannon > Suspend object with Manip.

The strider will collapse in one go. Ain't I r teh big One11!! ? :D
 
i think if you throw (manipulate) something hard enough into one of the legs, say a car, piano, chest of draws, then it should cripple it, and you can shoot away while it is on the ground, and cant stand on you

guys ... im thinkin you're gonna have to slip one of its legs out from underneath it ... i.e. have him step onto a moving platform of some time ... like a car or something ... god this games gonna be fun

cant throw cars, there IS a wieght limit.
 
yeah it can't be that hard to kill it, afterall, it's not a boss, so valve wouldn't make it like nihilanth *shivers*.
 
it's nice to see we're finally too insane to flame and we just go along...
 
that would be INSANE if all the striders (like 500 of them) were all nihilanths in difficulty, and you ran into them on a regular basis.
 
'there is a weight limit', yes i know, but it hasnt been stated how much the limit is, or have i been out of the loop?

i could have sworn an interview stated that people and cars were no-no's
 
:imu: :imu: :imu: :imu: :imu: :imu: :imu: :imu: :imu: :imu:

^^^those are what you need to kill a strider^^^
 
I think maybe about 15 or so rockets. Maybe more, because think about it. The other fighters will shell out plenty of rockets as well. I know my first attempts to take down a strider will consist of running up to it full speed hacking crowbar style.
 
I want to know what happends if you drive your buggy really hard against it's leg, maybe he falls on his side. Or you can shoot a leg in two with a sawblade and the manipulater gun (although I don't think you will see many sawblades roaming on the streets of City 17). Or maybe you should take the pin out of a genade, lay it next to you on the ground, select the manipulater and shoot it to the strider''s head. That would be a very cool way too if you have to deal with other enemies but you can't throw your grenade far enough. Endless possibilities...

This has got to be the most disturbing post I have seen so far :smoking: ... People have always shut their mouths from the striders' ...cannon's... grim appearance.
STRANGE EDIT COMMITTED BEFORE POSTING: Oh, some wicked people have used that too..

Maybe the striders cannon overloads and explodes if you throw some Viagra at them with the manipulator... But do they sell that in C17? :O
 
I wonder if D.O.G can run in and take out it's legs, that would be pretty cool!
 
aout this weight limit on the manipulator...

give it around 3 weeks and we will have an uber crack that eliminates it!!!!

on the front of striders,....MEH!!!! its gonna be a case of overloading their gun thingy...like..when its charging....lob a nade at it! and wernt we told that we could take control of it, in one of thos PCGamer reviews??
 
I think targeting its cannon might be a good idea...

or, what if they're just... invincible? And you just have to hide from them and stuff? That would rock...
 
its easy, you get a gargantua to fight it and then you video tape it and make "Strider the thing from the combine VS Gargantua, evolved zombie!
:farmer:

I suggested many of times that you could possibly shatter their legs by a wel aimed RPG :O
 
YOU CAN'T TAKE CONTROL OF A STRIDER, THEY ARE MACHINES, NOT VEHICLES, THE HEAD CAN'T EVEN FIT A HUMAN INSIDE ANYWAY....
Sorry ofr the caps, lol
 
I mentionted something, in the PC Gameplay they list the vehicles of the Combines, and that's the usual stuf, tanks, apc's, gunships but also STRIDERS. Have they made a mistake and are they alien or is it made by humans?

Eh, say again?

You will have to lure it into a cattle grid whilst driving in a vehicle so it trips over, its a MINI ADVENTURE :p

That advert made me laugh sometimes

We still don't even know if they're robot, living tissue, or cyborg, whatever.

But, using that logic, if they are machines -> they can be turned off? Romote control? Change it's programming to good instead of evil?

I hope it's not that easy.

If they're machines then we'd need an EMP weapon to take 'em out fast and effortless. :)

lol remote control -

"take some FF>> strider!! OH crap!"
 
You'll probally be able to control it remotely, because it looks like a biomecanical type a deal, from a computer or somthing.
 
you have to get Alyx to bend over on her knees (careful boys!) behind one of it's legs as you jump out in front screaming BOO!

Unless Star Wars has lied to me, once it's fallen over, two shots from a light gun will blow it up easy.
 
explosives......2 words...................................ha...ha......ehhhhh....not that funny actually. But you FUKED UP!! That is all.
