Strategy

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• The Modular Striker AR can also be used like an SMG, as it has a high fire rate.
  • Attaching the weapon with a Laser and Drum Mag mods is ideal for close range usage.
• Unlike the assault weapons from previous chapters, the Modular Striker AR is not hitscan and the bullet travels slower. Keep that in mind when using the weapon at long range.
• It is ill advised to mod the Modular Striker AR with the P2X Optic or Sniper Optic mod as the weapon is not made for longer ranges with lower damage at longer ranges and harder to manage recoil. The glare from the Sniper Optic will also be noticeable to enemies.
  • With this however a weaker optic such as the Red Eye Sight or Holo-13 Optic could work well in short-medium ranges if the recoil is managed accordingly. Otherwise its Default Iron Sights work just fine.

Trivia

• Modular Striker AR resembles the FN SCARL-L.
• Modular Striker AR and the Modular Hammer Pump Shotgun are the only weapons introduced in Chapter 5: Season 1 that don't have a paint scheme themed after The Underground or The Society.
• As of Update v33.20, the Modular Striker AR uses the same reload animation as its Ballistic counterpart in First-Person modes as long as the Default Magazine is equipped.
