Meh.
The weapon does not excel in any way.. except being a Krogan made AR like some mentioned above.

^ it's a projectile weapon so penetration doesn't do anything to it.

Yeah, because splash damage AR's are so common and old hat :/

It is good on the Destroyer, but good luck staying in a lobby with it if you're on Xbox!

Just to reinforce the Krogan Soldier points ... KROGAN SOLDIER!

I run a 6/6/6/4/4 build + Warfighter Gear + Striker + Incendiary ammo ... basically a big meaty, fire-explosion detonating, space woodlouse.

Excellent up to Gold level, especially against Reapers... Platinum, it usable but there are better choices.

The Striker is perfectly viable on Platinum as long as you're setting it up for combo detonation off ammo powers or using it to cheese incendiary effect. Concussive shot, chain overload, inferno nades, warp, etc work fine with it. All of that said there are more effective weapons.

Doesn't work on plat at all. You're better off with the Eagle. I prefer the Adas or Krysae.


Krysae? Really?

Everything works on plat. I tried Vindicator on Platinum once and it wasn't that bad (on TGI).

I quit taking the guy seriously when he insinuated the Eagle sucks.

I'll take common guns over Striker all day everyday.

Why not use the Adas? It actually doesn't suck. Kits that increase its RoF make it pretty good.

I'd avoid taking incendiary on the kroldier. Your 6*6 fire explosions would be constantly overwritten by 1*6 ammo primed explosions. Better to take cryo or warp ammo.

The strikers AoE DPS is actually pretty solid if remember correctly. Better than any other weapon, at least prior to the Venom and maybe still. Tyhw's spreadsheet can show you.

Its biggest problem is being a projectile weapon with a tendency to fire blanks off host. And of course xboxer's clever use of game mechanics.

I'm not a fan of the gun and it isn't really platinum viable rated on it's own accord.

Yeah, I'll say this gun is very viable. Staggers most things over and over (including phantoms) + has decent dps to boot too?! What more do you guys want, infinite rockets?... Oh wait, forget that last part....

I usually slap some stability help from whatever source or combination of them, because otherwise this gun can be very tricky to aim properly. One reason why this gun is best on a Turians, since this way you can focus more on damage & magazine extensions mods/consumables/gear.

But yeah, I find this gun makes things quite easy. But really, any gun that stagger with every shot makes the game easy. Just that for other guns, like the Falcon, you need to carry a boss/high dps side arm too (ie. Hurricane). But with the Striker, I find it's all I need (oh, and I'm a Gold players).


Oh, and I quite enjoy using this weapon too.

Definitely fun and effective on a TGI on gold. Turian sentinel too, especially with incendiary ammo.

The gun is fun but I'd like to see someone saying that it's platinum viable upload a video of you using it. You definitely won't be high damage. I have my TGI spec'd for max damage (except stim pack for more shields) and had two AR amps and Warp IV and I joined a Cerb Vancouver platinum match. I definitely did not top score in a PuG match and the TGI is all about top scoring.

Compensate recoil with stability gear/consumable
Use on Human soldier with AR
Use lvl IV ammo power, Incendiary is best.

It's not the best gun for Platinum roflstomping, but it's decent for a rare AR, which is better than can be said for most other Gold Card AR.

Clip size and spare ammo could use a healthy buff.

If I had video I would but it's easily viable on the Krosoldier with Inferno nades and incendiary rounds, you can test that easily in a Plat solo. Cheese plus consistent stagger equals death.

Actually it is pretty devastating with Incendiary Ammo, brings shields down superfast and stuns everything to death with Disruptor Ammo, greatly increases damage with biotic team mates with Warp Ammo and damage with Polonium Ammo is nothing but obscene.
Just compensate for recoil and low ammo and use a kit that ist durable enough to unload a full clip without dieing.

So, what you are telling me is to play it on platinum with 4 Krogan Soldiers and kill it with fire?
