The strider is very nice for close range. I have tryed long range loadouts and close range but nothing compares with thunder gust or for long range use ember pin. But that's just my thought. Ps a great base runner is ancil shredder.

I run a Strider with an Ancile & Gusts ... very weak to plasma but 90% of the "out of the blocks" beacon cappers it faces seem to be rockets
I have had really good and really bad matches with it, when it's good it turns the reds inside out ... It's hilarious zipping behind enemy lines to chase down a hydra spammer or artillery bot ... they see you coming but can do nothing about it apart from pray for a teammate rescue. I enjoy running it more than a Kumiho I have

I actually shelved him in favour of the Strider ... but when it was 'in' I ran Orkans
He could make a reappearance once I get another scourge ...

The only build I actually liked on strider was redeemer/mag. Had the burst damage and range to really put the hurt on unwary reds.

I ran mine as an ambusher with Aphid/Thermite, or for capping beacons I ran Ancile/gust.
Alot of folks hate the apex launchers. But if you pick your moments, it's devistating.

Running mine as a long distance bot at the moment, 11 lvl Flux, 12MK2 lvl Gekko, 12 lvl Gekko. Fun!

I’ve been using mine as a beacon runner/ambush bot. If I see an easy target all alone I burst at him from nowhere. They must think there’s no one around me for at least 500m, and then I’m up close and personal and have caught them unprepared to fight. I’ve equipped mine with two shredders, and an exodus. So when I ambush I get to lock them down and punish with rockets. Very effective when used right.
