RIA 20 Striker

The RIA 20 Striker is a semi-automatic Assault Rifle featured in. This appears to be the gun that the Assault class is holding. This gun, being thermal, deals damage over time, like a semi-auto ZCS Wipeout. Compared to the RIA 20 DSC, its physical equivalent, it deals more damage and has a higher ROF than the DSC's since the DSC's ROF was nerfed from 15 RPS to 8 RPS.

However, this weapon's ammo is fairly expensive for the [RED] version, so Field Supplies is recommended if you're struggling with cash, at least 6 for 90% of a clip each pickup.

This weapon is excellent against certain targets (except for Fiery Skin zombies and Wickers) in low-to-mid levels because of its ROF and damage make it able to deal massive damage to 1 target. It is obtainable fairly early, is a useful weapon for early-mid stages, and for some, will last well into late-game. The gun's early drop level means that it will last longer than other guns, but most will replace it in the long term.

As far as the augments go, recommended augments are normal, and if these augments should be stressed for full potential: Deadly for more killing power, Tenacious for more damage over time if you can't be bothered with those two zombies close to you and have bigger concerns (dodging fire from a Wicker, a ground pound from a Devastator, killing off a Regurgitator's worms, dodging poison from Spitters and so on), Adaptive, as Fiery Skin is a very common resistance for zombies to have, and Capacity, as 30 clip is smaller than usual and that should be increased.

Trivia

 * It seems to be a modified DSC with a Compensator and a simpler mag.
 * This weapon's silhouette is used in the primary slots when said slot is empty.
 * If you look closely at this gun's clip, you can see that there are 2 red stripes, even if it's not.
