Strategy

Strategy[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Due to the Striker AR being the 3rd most expensive weapon in Ballistic, it is important to buy 2 ticks of Instant Shield for added surivability.
  • Unlike the Nemesis AR and Enforcer AR, the Striker AR has damage fall-off. This means that at a range of 15 meters and above, the weapon will lose its ability to one-shot headshot enemies with 50 shield. This is why when playing with the Striker AR, its optimal to avoid long range parts of the map, like Mid or Long-A on Skyline 10, to keep that consistent one-shot headshot.

Counters[]

  • When engaged with an opponent using a Striker AR, keeping to mid-long range with a weapon such as an Enforcer AR, Nemesis AR or Reaper Sniper Rifle can be very beneficial, as all of them can deliver a 1 shot elimination to the head past the Striker's effective headshot range.
  • Within close range and combined with their jumping accuracy, the Hammer Pump Shotgun and Frenzy Auto Shotgun can be strong counters to the Striker AR.
