I'm a masochist and I love the war striders. Two totally unrelated facts...
If you hate War Striders that is so fine. They're hard as hell, there are so many, they shoot like crazy. I love theeemmmm! Same as the Vox Engines for me, but much more manageable.
I usually carry grenade launchers so far in Cyberstan and they work pretty well, plus thermite grenades work wonders, always destroying them if you stick them. They're super fun to me and I love feeling scared in this game. It doesn't happen enough sometimes, so giving us some tough as nails enemies feels great.
I totally understand the frustration because I felt it back when the flying bot ships were introduced (I alwahs forget their names, but the ones that are the closest equivalent of shriekers). It can suck to really feel helpless against an enemy, and to feel like there are just way too many to do anything. For me? I haven't felt that. Whenever I see them, I see a target to avoid or to absolutely obliterate as fast as I possibly can, and I love that pressure.
Hopefully they change them to be more fun for everyone, but I'm having fun with them so far, and I hope at least some of you are too!
