RIA 20 Striker

"Thermal Assault Rifle. Oversized white hot bullets wreak high single target damage and burn after effects." -Official Description

The RIA 20 Striker is a semi-automatic Assault Rifle featured in for PC while on Mobile it can be fired at Full Auto.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, it deals a lot more damage and has a higher ROF ever since the DSC's ROF was nerfed from 15 RPS to 8 RPS.

However, this weapon's ammo is fairly expensive, especially for the version, costing $1600 for 200 normal ammo and a costly $6400 for 200 High Damage Ammo. So a good Field Supplies is recommended if you're struggling with cash, at least 6.

This weapon is extremely effective against nearly every target (except for Fiery Skin zombies and Wickers, of course). It is obtainable fairly early, is a useful weapon for early-mid stages, and lasts well into late-game if augmented correctly. One shot can take down weaker zombies, and its DOT shreds apart Chitinous Hides considerably faster than any physical assault rifle, as it deals thermal damage which overcomes the 75% physical resistance of Chitinous Hides.

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), and either Capacity or Race Modded as the clip is fairly small and if you can click at a decent rate (6-10 RPS) then the clip will drain quickly.

Speaking of the clip, if you look closely at this gun's clip, you can see that there are 2 red stripes, even if it's not.
