Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Modular Striker AR can be used as an SMG replacement, as it has a high fire rate and damage per second.
    • Attaching the weapon with the Drum Mag Drum Mag and Laser Laser mods is ideal for close range usage, as the Drum Mag Drum Mag increases the magazine size and the Laser Laser increases the accuracy while hipfiring.
  • Keep in mind that, unlike the assault weapons from previous chapters, the Modular Striker AR is not hitscan and the bullet travels slower.
  • It is ill advised to mod the Modular Striker AR with the Thermal Optic Thermal Optic or Sniper Scope Sniper Scope mod as the weapon is not made for longer ranges with lower damage at longer ranges and harder to manage recoil. The glare from the Sniper Scope Sniper Scope will also be noticeable to enemies.

Counters[]

  • Using some form of mobility like the Shockwave Grenade is advised when engaged with an opponent wielding a Modular Striker AR, as the bullet drop can make it hard for an opponent to hit a moving target.
