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 Burst Rifle is the preferred weapon for medium and long range combat as it has a red dot sight for precise accuracy.
  • The Striker Burst Rifle is unsuitable for destroying structures due to its 2 shot burst function.
  • Despite its easy to control recoil, keep in mind that the first shot of the initial burst is much higher, so it must be controlled for maximum effectiveness.

Counters[]

  • The Striker Burst Rifle has a very poor hipfire spread, so close range engagements can easily overwhelm an opponent using it.
  • Building or running between natural cover can also be a very effective counter, as due to the 2 shot burst function, the Striker Burst Rifle is very weak against structures.
