Strategy[]

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

The Striker AR works as a sort of SMG/AR hybrid, as it has a high fire rate and low damage, but is still surprisingly accurate over range. This allows the weapon to be used most effectively in a two-weapon loadout, allowing for more inventory space.
The Striker AR comes pre-equipped with an Angled Foregrip, giving it a faster ADS time than other Assault Rifles, which can be great when dealing with an opponent who is running from a fight, allowing you to get on target much faster.
Control your fire when engaging in medium to long-range combat, as the Striker AR, while not the worst bloom wise, can be a bit unwieldy at long range in particular.

Counters[]

Keeping your distance is advised when engaged with an opponent wielding a Striker AR, as the low damage and higher bloom gives the Striker AR a weakness compared to other Assault Rifles.

Weapon ID[]

The Striker AR is referred to as Assault Paprika DPS HS in the files.
