Helldivers 2 is a massive success from Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 5 and PC platforms. The gaming community was immediately hooked on the ambitious themes of fighting for democracy, intergalactic warfare, intense gameplay, and a great multiplayer experience to share with a full squad of friends.
The gaming community will do anything to amuse themselves even if it leads to jeopardizing the mission. Factory Striders are a menace to society; however, one player discovered a sneaky way to easily remove them from the equation with a small throwing knife which is an impressive feat.
Factory Striders Are Susceptible to Throwing Knives in Helldivers 2
Arrowhead Game Studios has received its fair share of criticism for the recent performance of the live service game and is struggling to find ways to elevate the gameplay experience and increase the entertainment factor for the player base. The developers will introduce a new variety of Automatons designated as Iron Fleet Automatons in Helldivers 2 and fans are less than enthusiastic about their first encounter.
The developers should offer more options in a live service game to keep up with the fierce competition. While the game had its problems, some players did not give up on it and discovered unique ways to amuse themselves like this one player who decided to take a more stealthy approach to destroy a Factory Strider with puny throwing knives and succeeded with flying colors.

After 21 throwing knives, this player discovered a much more quiet and sneaky approach to Factory Striders without alarming them and enduring its wrath. Perhaps this is where the unlimited throwing knives glitch will prove its use and give the player base more than enough knives to overpower other enemies throughout the mission.
Throwing knives are not the most famous weapons in Helldivers 2, and not all players choose to use them when there are better options available at their disposal. However, this short clip showcases the benefits of using blades over firearms, especially in an area crowded with enemy forces that would make it difficult for a squad to accomplish their objectives and survive unscathed altogether.
Helldivers 2 Players Should Use the Throwing Knives More Often
The gaming community has been explicit about its disdain toward the recent performance of the game and Arrowhead Game Studios promised changes will be made in the next 60 days. Perhaps the studio should focus more on improving the gameplay elements and encourage players to try different options to approach a combat encounter.
Throwing knives are often used in stealth scenarios but this player took it to a whole new level. It takes courage and patience to do something dangerous to prove an idea is viable and they have that in spades.
Helldivers 2 is all about war and players must get their hands dirty to get the job done and let the results be the fruit of their labor. No one with the right mind would gamble their lives to sneak past behind a Factory Strider to throw knives at it and live to tell the tale.
Arrowhead Game Studios should highlight other available weapons while working on new content. Hopefully, the gaming community will see this method and try it themselves.
