Talk:RIA 20 Striker/@comment-3224196-20141212155526/@comment-3224196-20141214144413

No worries for being long; I like reading and responding to text walls, as I'm adjusted well to it.

I have actually got another 10*** Striker with Adaptive and Capacity (WHY?). I spent about $500,000 upgrading Adaptive and Deadly, but the game likes cursing me with Fiery Skin Chitinous Hide zombies. I do try to like this weapon, but I do have a few weapons that just exceed it, but they're bad in augments. The balance lies.
 * 1) So far, this is actually the most expensive item I have used, because I'm Level 48 at the moment and I haven't got anything that costly, barring a 10*** RIA 50 which I never used.
 * 2) To be honest, though, I do have decent Stripper which works against Savage Wickers. Regular zombies are just too tedious. (When I say I fight S. Wickers, I play on MP. Otherwise, I primarily fight Elite Dev's)
 * 3) Yeah, well.
 * 4) When I made this point, I was referring to full-auto weapons.
 * 5) I see what you mean by putting just Deadly/Adaptive on a Striker. I might try that before reopinionating.
 * 6) Overrating is not really a reason why this weapon is bad, but why I dislike this weapon. I'd probably have sold my Sublight COM2 if every single player I've seen used it.
 * 7) Yeah, my trigger finger isn't actually that bad, but it's probably my playstyle that prefers full-auto weapons.
 * 8) That is true. The Striker is much more common than the other weapons, but when you get other 's, which eventually does start increasing in likelihood, that's when you start to realise that the Striker loses its late game effectiveness.
 * 9) Yeah, I can't argue against that there. Just that you get the opportunity for a mobbing weapon and a bossing weapon, but I do tend to be a dual multipurpose weapon holder.
 * 10) So yeah.

However, my current soldier isn't suited that well to the Striker. I have created a new soldier (CDM) and I might try a Striker-based soldier with that.
