For the legendary shotgun in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, see Striker (Borderlands 2).

Striker is a legendary shotgun in Borderlands manufactured by Jakobs.

Examples are on the talk page.

Special Weapon Effects[]

Sniper Rifles are for Chumps. – +30% critical hit damage, increased accuracy with minimal bullet spread.

Usage & Description[]

The Striker is exceptionally accurate for a shotgun. The extra critical damage comes at the expense of fire rate, in the sense it doesn't get the raw damage bonus like any other equivalent shotgun. The +30% critical damage may not seem like much, but it makes a lot of difference for shotguns, especially considering the close-proximities that shotguns are used in and the sheer amount of damage shotguns are capable of dealing.

The Striker is most effective in medium-close range by aiming for the head with a scoped variant. In any other situation, a normal (equivalent) shotgun would be more effective.

Notes[]

  • The only legitimate prefixes are Terrible and Hunter's.

Mechanics[]

The Striker gets its special effect from its barrel, barrel5_JakobsStriker. It is based on barrel5, the most accurate barrel available for shotguns. Compared to the generic barrel5, it has more spread, less at-rest accuracy, and less damage. Its only defining feature is the critical Damage boost.
