Striker received 4 buffs since February. Two buffs to its firing rate (before: 2.5 - 1.8, currently: 2 - 1.6 seconds); A buff to its starting velocity; its critical hit damage was doubled. 

 

OOOO, nice, I might actually be able to use it as my main turret now.

Are you going to cheat on your beloved Thunder?

Striker with uranium augment 

[Crossbone 516]

@sythos Lol, last time I used uranium, I got more self destructions than kills.

the only flaw of this alt is it's too slow so i don't advise using it on short ranges

Maybe its best to spam the uranium missiles and hope for the best.

its not that hard. You just have to track the opponent regarding their distance and prefire ahead of them. One you get a hang of it it gets pretty easy.

I do quite well with Striker and Adrenaline, although I use it on Hornet because its OD gives you critical hits because of Supercharge

I think the combination of a fast hull (my Hornet will be Mk7 20/20 soon) and mostly using arcade shots with Striker works well

I do use salvos sometimes, but I only get lock-ons on bad players, and they aren't common

 I use Hornet-Uranium/"Hunter" whenever I get to use Striker. It can be treated as pseudo-Thunder even without Supercharge.

And yeah, salvo'ing is difficult now as most targets yeet themselves away before fully locked on.

Adrenaline rework when?

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

There's 0 reason to use Thunder now lol.

Striker's base DPS is much, much higher and Gauss is just plain OP and annoying.

Thanks to some dudes saying "Striker is too weak" and made Alternativa gave armies of steriods to it.

I wonder how Sledgehammer Rounds for Thunder compares to stock Striker.

In my experience, Sledgehammer and Stock striker aren't too far off one another, as they're still different enough in what they do. Striker trades immediacy and a bit of reload time (0.05 seconds) in damage-dealing for consistent damage over distance, double damage crits, and a secondary mode to punish exposed players, in comparison to Thunder. However, once you start comparing the Missile Launcher "Hunter" augment to Sledgehammer... things don't look good. There isn't even an argument for Striker being harder to use, as the missiles from MLH are tracking, and you can spew them out every 1.58 seconds (better than Sledgehammer's reload) just by repeatedly spamming locked shots (and you can fire an arcade when you know said arcade shot will kill, letting you drop your reload to 1.02 for only the last shot). The only real advantage Sledgehammer has is impact force, projectile speed(barely), and better reliability from the low ground over MLH.

I been using striker with crusader, and I've been doing really well with it, even on mobile.

[wild001 1,422]

long time not use uranium, now Uranium has 3 rockets now?! (not shown in any patch notes)

so it is better than Adrenaline (Damage: +15% on average w 2x critical damage)?

 

 

Advantages

• Damage: +50%
• Reload after salvo: -40%

Disadvantages

• Rockets in salvo: =3
• Maximum projectile speed: =125m/s
• Reload: +15%
• Critical Hit Removed

[Newnewnew 92]

yeah!!! its amazing!!!!!

I feel that Striker is a worthy competitor against Gauss now. I love using the Remote Rocket Explosives Augment

Works really well with crusader, which has proven itself to me in the majority of the battles that I've played.

[Crossbone 516]

Finally got the striker augment that I've wanted to get since it was released. Still gotta work on my timing, but I'm getting the hang of it, also very addicting to use.

[Iron_Man 2,376]

Strker's Stun missiles augment is soo annoying. Just keeps on stunning me again and again. It should definitely be nerfed.

Welp, guess its time to ditch all your high rank accounts and start playing with the low ranks.
