Strategy
The Devil Walker is armored with thick plating, making it highly resistant to small arms fire and heavy weapons alike. The segments on its legs can be blown off by sustained fire, however, and if the Walker itself sustains enough damage it will be forced to pause and temporarily expose a weak spot near its "head." A fireteam should ideally spread themselves out (so that the walker has to slowly rotate to engage each attacker) and focus firepower on one leg at a time. It is recommended not to approach the walker due to its melee attack and nose gun, even when it's been staggered. Exposed legs should be ignored, as they do less damage than armored legs.
While technically not a weak spot, the missile pod launcher can be shot off the main turret with enough gunfire, reducing the walker's overall firepower. However, the main turret itself has not been shown to be removable.
Variants
The Noble Devil Walker is a more powerful version of the Devil Walker.[2]
Trivia
Before the reveal of its name at the E3 2013 Destiny Gameplay Demo, the Devil Walker was known as the Spider Tank.
