“A heavily reinforced Automaton convoy is expected to cross through this region. Intercept and destroy the convoy before it leaves the mission area.
— Mission Briefing
The Intercept Convoy is an Optional Objective where Helldivers are tasked with eliminating an Automaton convoy as it traverses through the mission area. To complete the Objective, Helldivers must destroy all 5 of the Factory Striders before they leave the map.
Objective Steps
- Locate the Automaton Convoy as it makes its way across the map
- Helldivers must approach the convoy and eliminate all 5 Factory Striders.
- Reward:
200 Requisition Slips & 
50 Experience
Tactical Information
- The convoy consists of 5 Factory Striders: 4 with Cannon Turrets and 1 with a Stratagem Scrambler (functionally identical to Cognitive Disruptor masqueraded as a downsized Stratagem Jammer).
- The convoy will not stop when engaged and will continue towards their path to leave the map, therefore it is advised to properly position yourself and your teammates to eliminate them as fast as possible.
- The convoy completes their path in ~400-seconds, or 11-minutes and 40-seconds if the convoy is left untouched. And the objective fails as soon the first on the line crosses the mission area border.
- It is recommended to bring Anti-Tank stratagems such as the E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement (ATE), Orbital Laser and Orbital 380mm HE Barrage or Support Weapons such as the GR-8 Recoilless Rifle and EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank to quickly take down all 5 Factory Striders.
- A sound tactic to use when using the Recoilless Rifle and EATs is to first use an EAT to destroy the head armor of the Factory Strider and 1 shot the now fully exposed head with the Recoilless Rifle.
- When using the ATE it is recommended to shoot the cannon turrets of the Factory Striders first as this prevents the chance that they may hit you and destroy your emplacement as well as possibly kill you and makes it sufficiently easier to destroy the convoy.
- A recommendation is to place the ATE ahead of the convoy at a ~100-150m distance diagonal their path to make it easier to see their face and 2 shot the exposed part of the head.
- When engaging a convoy with an ATE, either target the large cannons first to prevent them from destroying your emplacement, or ensure that the convoy is distracted before engaging.
- The safest and most simple solution for solo-diving Helldivers is to use FAF-14 Spear with enough clear line of sight. Ideally the whole convoy should get dismantled with 10-20-missiles, roughly requiring two-three (upgraded) supply packs.
- Generally max three (3) Spear missiles should down a Factory Strider. Most often the first missile collides into and destroys the Cannon Turret / Stratagem Scrambler. The second (and occasionally the first) missile destroys / removes the armor protecting the circuit under the hit-zone. And the last fatal (third or second) missile hits onto these exposed circuits.
