Best Striker Loadout for Multiplayer

| Barrel | Striker Recon Long Barrel |
| Magazine | 48 Round Mag |
| Ammunition | .45 Auto High Grain Rounds |
| Underbarrel | XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop |
It is possible to get a 4 shot kill with this weapon. If you are at close to mid range, hitting 4 shots is often enough to get a kill with this SMG. The advantage is being able to win any fight as long as you shoot the upper body, but the TTK will go down significantly if you only hit the lower body so be careful.
This build balances and improves the overall stats of this weapon. We didn't include an Optic since it will mainly be used close to mid range, but since the Iron Sight is hard to use you can leave out the Magazine or Underbarrel and use an Optic instead.
