A strider
Strider is a type of walker utilized by Freelancers.
Overview[]
Striders are the bloodstream of Bastion. They are used to transport people, resources, and vital supplies for short distances or during lengthy expeditions into the wilderness. A strider can house an amplifier and up to four javelins at a time. Their massive size means striders can safely navigate most common dangers, but are vulnerable to certain chimera and coordinated attacks. Most striders can withstand being on the edge of a Cataclysm, but will not maintain structural integrity within.[1]
In the past, striders would ferry humans between their settlements, acting as a place of safety on their journey. In the present day, only a few striders are left. While they can still be constructed, it's a painstaking endeavour to do so, given humanity's lack of mass production.[2]
Striders serve as a forward base of operations that allows Freelancers to re-supply, re-arm, and select between javelins.[3] A cypher can operate from within the strider, using its amplifier chair. For deployment, the javelins are raised from the interior of the strider to the top of the vehicle via hatch.[4] It has a cramped interior.[2]
Gameplay[]
In-game, striders act as a form of fast-travel. The in-universe reason for players popping up at the place of their choosing is that the strider has taken them there.[2]
NPCs are present within the vehicle.[3] Players can alternate between javelin suits here.[5] Players cannot drive the strider; it is driven by Haluk.[6]
