Striders
Character from Half-Life 2 by Valve
The Combine's towering war machines — three-legged synths that stalk through cities like nightmares on stilts, their warp cannons leveling buildings with each shot.
Also known as: Striders, Tripods
What They Know
- Warp cannon capable of destroying structures in one or two shots
- Anti-personnel gun that tracks and engages infantry independently of the main cannon
- Synth biology — they are organic underneath the armor, which means they can be killed rather than simply disabled
- Vulnerable to sustained RPG fire or the Magnusson Device — their armor is concentrated on the upper carapace, legs are weaker
