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
