Bryan here. As far as I'm concerned, this thing IS OP for the level it drops. It IS like the S300 in the aspect that it does extremely high thermal damage. In terms of straight-on alpha, the RED version of this gun is only slightly weaker than the S300 by 440, which is not a lot, especially considering the low drop level of 28 comparing to the S300's lvl 85.

But yes, in terms of actual usage, anyone using this gun past level 35 is not very smart, or seriously unlucky. Before that, the Strikeforce does a fair job of decimating crowds due to high alpha, DOT, decent spread and pierce. It's also great for switching to it to deal with small hordes that you don't really want to care about.

But after that level, the low firing rate just drags down the DPS. Compared to many other weapons available, having a weapon simply for dealing with small crowds of weak zombies is just plain stupid.

Seriously Skyrunner, maybe you should try switching to other weapons and try those out instead of sticking to the same ones and saying "I like this one, I'll keep it til forever".
