Well this is quite hard but I'm sure you'll manage. Of course, don't hesitate to lower the difficulty.

You just need to figure out in which order buildings get destroyed. And since there are only three striders that are scripted to destroy buildings, you need to remember which ones are those (e.g. is it first, fourth, etc.). Unfortunately I did this long time ago and can't really recall this data.

I also tried to always park the car in such way so that it was facing the direction I'd need to drive. That way I don't waste any time after the building-destroying strider appears to turn the car around etc. I would then manually save, jump in the car and start driving. As soon as I hit striders legs, I get out of the car, do a quicksave, fire the sticky bomb and shoot it. If it fails (usually because of the hunters), just quickload and repeat last step.

The other helpful thing about the innermost building (the one that gets destroyed last) was to have one of those sticky bombs taken out of the dispenser prematurely. You should then place it somewhere along the rightmost road, but near to this building. That way you don't need to worry about resupplying your car as you probably won't have enough time with this last strider. Just make sure you place the bomb somewhere where it would be visible and none of the hunters would shove it away.

I finished the Strider Battle perfectly on my first go. It took me so much Loading Screens!

But the first thing to do is scout out the area and write notes as to the fastest route to get from A to B.

Trigger the start by talking with the rebel (remember to grab your Magnusson Device!), then drive to the first Strider Spawn-point as soon as possible.

When you get there, run over the hunters without hitting the Strider or the scenery. Save if you think you got it right. Then jump out of the car, pick up the MD, and launch. With the first Strider you don't have time to get in a good position, so just jump out and shoot. If you miss, reload. Do this until you get it just right.

With this small boost in time you should be able to get an edge in the battle. Just remember where the next Strider spawns, by playing through, then reloading to before it spawns. Use your pistol when shooting the devices, and you should be fine. If you need more help, just post.

The SMG was easier & faster for me than the pistol.

CatzEyes93, you are most welcome to use it anywhere. Same for everyone else. I did make the picture but I don't put copyright on it. I hope that pic will help others as it had me on both Xbox360 and PC version of the game.

pistol, SMG, AR2 primary and shotgun can be used to take out the devices. I tried and found the AR2 and SMG better.

save right after every strider is killed, that way, if you ♥♥♥♥ up, you can go back

I just give myself 100 Rockets - only way I can beat Ep. 2.
