Strategy Guide[]
- This shotgun has a slower fire rate than many other shotguns. If you are reloading this shotgun, make sure to check for opponents that can possibly attack you.
- A fast-firing weapon to follow up to is recommended, such as a submachine gun or assault weapon, as the Striker Pump Shotgun is quite slow to shoot and is rather unpredictable at medium distances, sometimes dealing very low damage. A good strategy is to fire the Striker Pump Shotgun to do a lot of damage then following up with a fast firing weapon to eliminate your enemy.
- The Striker Pump Shotgun is incapable of quickly destroying structures due to its extremely lowered structure damage.
- It is best to pair the Striker Pump Shotgun with a Stinger SMG which can be used to quickly break builds, switch to the pump for high initial damage, and switching back to the SMG to finish the enemy.
- The Striker Pump Shotgun is a very powerful shotgun in Battle Royale, at the cost of having a low fire rate and small ammo capacity of five rounds.
