If if the factory strider is far away, it's not a threat and you can just shoot it in the eye a second time after a few seconds. You may not get that chance since everyone and their mother is trying to poke the thing's eye, so it may just be dead before you can take a second shot. If the factory strider is up close then you can just shoot it in the foot and finish it off with a sparkler.
I honestly struggle to imagine why I'd waste my time bringing an RR to any front. After the waves of enemy nerfs this past year, heavies just aren't common enough on any front to really justify ever bringing it. Especially with how amazing things like Eagle Strafe are after the buffs. EAT/quasar/commando are more than enough and leave your backpack slot free. The game is really easy after the enemy nerfs though. There's no real need to seriously min-max. Go ahead and bring the RR if you enjoy it.

EATs are superb. The quasar plays nicer when jetpacking to high ground because 99% of the high ground vantage points are all still bouncy, so you can't resupply the EAT without jumping back down to the ground floor.
