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 Striker AR can be used like an AR/SMG hybrid, due to its fast fire rate and decent accuracy at longer ranges. This allows the weapon to be used most effectively in a two-weapon loadout, allowing for more inventory space.
  • Due to the flexible nature of the Striker AR, it is a very good weapon to support Sniper Rifle loadouts, as the Striker AR can perform as a close-mid range weapon while the sniper can deal with long range engagements.
  • The Striker AR comes pre-equipped with an Angled ForegripAngled Foregrip, giving it a faster ADS time than other Assault Rifles, which can be great when dealing with an opponent who is running from a fight, allowing you to get on target faster.
  • Control your fire when engaging in medium to long-range combat, as the Striker AR, while not the worst bloom wise, can be a bit unwieldy at long range in particular.

Counters[]

  • Keeping your distance is advised when engaged with an opponent wielding a Striker AR, as the low damage and higher bloom gives the Striker AR a weakness compared to other Assault Rifles.
  • One of the Striker AR's most glaring weaknesses is it's lower than average headshot multipler, 1.4x compared to the average 1.5x of the AR class. Using weapons with more average, or even high, headshot damage, such as the Enforcer AR, Ranger Assault Rifle, or O.X.R. Rifle, can be beneficial against the Striker AR.
