Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and released in 2024, is a cooperative third-person shooter where players defend Super Earth against alien and robot factions. The Factory Strider is one of its largest Automaton enemies, a walking factory that produces smaller bots while stomping across the battlefield. Clips of its encounters circulate among players sharing gameplay moments, boss fights and chaotic squad wipes. Because the sound instantly signals a huge, dangerous machine, creators keep using it to set up dramatic or funny defeats in Helldivers 2 edits.
