My Thoughts On The Striker Shotgun

The Striker Shotgun proved to be a game-changing addition to my arsenal after over 20 hours of gameplay, and unlocking it in Chapter 10 marked a significant turning point. This shotgun, often considered the best among its peers, lives up to its reputation, boasting impressive stats and exceptional performance. Its unmatched speed and power make it a formidable choice, particularly in close-range encounters and boss battles.

The Striker’s exclusive perk, doubling its ammo capacity for a reasonable cost, set it apart from most shotguns, allowing me to confront foes without the constant worry of running out of ammunition. However, I did notice a lot of my bullets going to waste because of the Striker’s lackluster precision, affecting my long-range effectiveness. Despite this drawback, upgrading it to the maximum level and adding the exclusive perk substantially enhances its utility, and I encourage players to grind Pesetas to upgrade it.
