All New Automaton Enemy Types in Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2 players have come across new Automaton enemy types, Factory Striders and Gunships, which were quietly introduced to the game with the latest update. 

Automaton Factory Striders are enormous battle behemoths featuring Devastator bots and laser turrets capable of dealing severe damage at long-ranges. Players are having a difficult time destroying these enormous walkers, as they are equipped with a heavy shield and multiple cannons. This new Automaton enemy type draws heavy inspiration from AT-ATs from the Star Wars franchise.

On the other hand, the new Gunships are airborne battle stations capable of launching rockets and energy rounds at players from above. To deal damage, they require weapons with high armour penetration, such as the new Quasar Cannon and Spear.

Previously, the only enormous enemy type in the game was the Terminid Bile Titan strain. However, from now on, players will have to deal with the new Factory Striders and Gunships on higher difficulties and it is safe to say the gameplay will become more challenging.

While more powerful weapons and stratagems are being added into the game, the new enemy types are also becoming more dominant during missions. Aside from Automaton Tanks and Devastators, players will now have to simultaneously deal with the new Factory Striders and Gunships.
