HELLDIVERS 2 players innovate new sport: Factory Strider parkour

Helldivers 2 players have discovered a new pastime amid the game's challenging Major Order: Factory Strider parkour. This emergent gameplay involves players landing on and leaping between the large Automaton Striders, akin to a sci-fi Olympic sport. This trend has been gaining traction on the game's subreddit, with a notable clip from user CrzyDonkey successfully executing a jump between two Striders. Although these stunts often end in a fall, they provide a fun and exciting break from the game's usual combat-focused gameplay. Arrowhead quickly addressed a recent Galactic War tracking outage, ensuring that players can keep track of their progress without interruption.

What are Factory Striders, and how are they featured in Helldivers 2 gameplay?

Factory Striders in Helldivers 2 are large walking vehicles that resemble mechanized AT-ATs. They are enemies that players encounter and must combat during missions. However, players have now turned these formidable foes into platforms for parkour, showcasing creativity and agility in an impromptu, in-game sport.

Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, is a community-focused shooter game where players work together in a dystopian, sci-fi universe to fight off alien threats and protect Super Earth. With a focus on cooperative gameplay, it invites players to strategize and combat together with a variety of weapons and tactics. Beyond its challenging combat scenarios, the game encourages community engagement, which has led to the unexpected development of Factory Strider parkour, highlighting its dynamic and interactive world.
