Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names.

The Striker is a heavy-feeling shotgun with stats close to the AA-12's, aside from shorter range, according to Altered Gamer. It packs a punch up close, though the guide adds that so do most shotguns. In Modern Warfare 2 (2009) multiplayer it works well enough for short fights, provided you budget for its reload.
Best Striker loadout
No major guide publishes a build for this gun, so this is our suggested setup from its available attachments. The attachment list is a Steam guide's shotgun list (11 June 2018), written per class. The perk is named for this gun by Altered Gamer (24 March 2010).
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Extended Mags | Attachment slot; capacity increase not listed |
| Perk | Sleight of Hand | Faster reloads; Altered Gamer names the Striker specifically |
Why this build works
Altered Gamer's perk guide lists the Striker as a shotgun with a longer reload, which is why Sleight of Hand helps. More shells means fewer of those reloads, though that is our suggestion rather than something a source tested. Range is the main thing it gives up compared with the AA-12.
How to play it
Keep targets close enough that each shot decides the fight, as Altered Gamer suggests. Its range is smaller than the AA-12's, so don't try to stretch it.
Unlock notes
Altered Gamer gives level 34. The Steam guide places Extended Mags at 400 kills on shotguns.
