Striders are a type of military-grade mech in gen:LOCK used by the Vanguard. They form an integral part of the Vanguard's ground forces, each providing heavy firepower and battlefield mobility under the control of a single pilot.

Striders were designed by the same team responsible for designing Holon, and the design philosophy behind their build was described by Rufus Weller to be "Utilitarian". Striders come with multiple slots for weapon attachments, which allows for a variety of weapon configurations that include cannons of different calibers and missile launchers. Striders are also capable of short jumps with the aid of jet boosters.

A squad of Striders can be carried and transported by Dragonfly aerial transports, which can quickly drop or extract the Striders through ventral cargo doors. Hoist cables from the drop craft connect to a dorsal attachment point behind the cockpit of each Strider to facilitate transport and extraction.

After the Battle of New York City, the helmets of Strider pilots were designed with the ability to be enclosed as a precaution against nanotech.

Notes

Strider pilots are colloquially known as "Walkers".
