The striker! What does it even do? I used it once before the challenge update, and twice since. And none of them have been successful builds.

But how do you get this thing to be useful?
As you know, I'm all for underpar weapons, but this thing is ridiculous!

Advice?

Good stagger and ammo application. BF3 Soldier with AR bonus power and full specced carnage works nicely. Shoot->AR->Shoot (applies incendiary or disruptor)->Carnage->Frag Grenade->Repeat.

Use it on a Destroyer.  Every time I've seen it used on him, it one shot kills everything... Including Atli!!!

[Quarian Master Race]

It's pretty good for making sure the airlock decompresses properly, assuming you're short on toasters to use instead.

Substitute the Venom for the Striker in that BF3 Soldier build and you actually have a good character.

 

The Striker is f*cking terrible.

Question was about striker, not about ideal BF3 Soldier 

Venom is lightyears ahead of Striker, and I'm not a huge fan, but it does do fairly well with the build I mentioned.

[Teh_Ocelot]

I've played with it enough to get the challenge done, can't say I've ever really found a build I enjoy it on above other options. I'd rate it meh/10

[PatrickBateman]

There are a few kits that can do ok with it on Gold but not much more.

It's a gun that's mainly known for missile glitching on Xbox.....

this, ... not even once the need hard cover or trigger objectives. But the DPS must be insane.

[TheNightSlasher]

It's an okay gun but the ramp up and recoil make it the weakest projectile/stagger weapon. The relatively small clip size doesn't help much either.

 

I use it primarily on the BatSol. I do use it on some random characters every now and then but it never left a good impression.

Its only really good when you're hosting, I find way too many shots are blanks otherwise.

 

[Terminator Force]

This is another one of those weapons where combat walk speed stat determines whether you can walk and gun or not. Of the kits that can walk and gun with it at top speeds, the best are Destroyer (because rate of fire & max stagger resistance is important for wind up weapons), Batarian of your choice (because this weapon has little spare ammo & Batarians have high stagger resistance), or Ghost (because extra dps helps conserve ammo too & tac cloak agro dump should help with avoiding getting staggered).

 

Shooting out of scope doesn't seem to affect it's accuracy or much, but I could be wrong. I just like shooting it out of scope because of it's crazy recoil.

 

I also like to use either Stability Consumable III with Thermal Clip Gear V or Barrage Gear V with this weapon.

Striker TGI/TSent with Inc ammo is pretty amusing...especially if you're desiring to exact retribution upon Cerbs.

[JGDD]

KroSol is about the only kit I use it on. Mainly because whatever the blanks miss, the Inferno grenades do not.

[Terminator Force]

^ KroSol is good enough too, but not better then BatSol.

TGI is way better for Stryker then TSent. No contest.

 

And why Incindiary ammo if you can't Incindiary glitch? Using a wind up weapon for combos is a big mistake, unless you're multipriming, but I can't see this weapon being near as good at this then say the ADAS.

[Miniditka77]

Yeah, TGI is the only class I like the Striker on.  There's a cloak glitch where if you start firing and then hit the cloak button, the cloak won't break and you can get the cloak bonus for the whole clip.  It's pretty effective then.

[JGDD]

^ KroSol is good enough too, but not better then BatSol.

Better...I could use it on any of the characters in the game and do just fine. It's not a matter of better for me, it's a matter of preference. My preference is to headbutt, chuck grenades, and generally be very Krogan-ish when I use it. To the point of exclusivity because I'm not a fan of the weapon in general.

 

And there's nothing better than a Krogan with a bad attitude, a belt full of Inferno grenades, and a well calloused head crest.

[Terminator Force]

^ Krogan fetish detected. Standing down.

[larsdt]

All that screen shake gave me a headache when I did the AR challenge

Unless you need to wind down with some dull boredom, I couldn't recommend an ADAS TGI.  Striker applies Inc ammo in a more violent and invigorating manner.

[Terminator Force]

^ Yes, I've never used the ADA on TGI either. I think the ADAS was my fave on KroSol with Incindiary Ammo? Lots of fire explosions, lots of fun. Plus great for when I feel like playing without having to worry about aiming at all. So, great for playing and drinking.

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

KroSol is about the only kit I use it on. Mainly because whatever the blanks miss, the Inferno grenades do not.

My KroSol carries a Graal with Omniblade because running backhand is fun. He has the Striker as a sidearm for use during hacks and escorts. And to stagger Phantoms.

[ROBOTICSUPERMAN]

So blanks? Is it just an off host bug? Or is there a trick to it?

What about a quarian marksman? Is that possible or ridiculous? Because it has a small mag and adrenaline rush refills ammo, so marksman would too work to some effect? Maybe?

So it's a terrible weapon, and it was only used for glitching?
Honestly why didn't bioware just remove it?

It's possible and works okay on gold or below vs mooks in team games where there are other people to take the aggro while you take multiple seconds to stunlock a single guy to death then have to reload, but even he can't actually make it halfway effective at killing things quickly because it's just so terrible. I'd rather have an Avenger, or even a Shuriken.

You're better off with an Adas for literally anything you can think of except trying to roleplay a krogan, where it makes a passable stagger tool and omniblade handle (though still vastly inferior to Graal or Claymoar, obviously).

[JGDD]

Off host voodoo. Like so many things in this game where travel time to impact is involved, this weapon is just another victim in that huge pile of 'well intended - poorly executed' design kludge.

 

No sane game developer removes existing items if they aren't game breaking. See Hunter Mode petitions and the polarizing views from each side of that divide.
