Striker is a weapon in Resident Evil 4. The Striker can be bought from the Merchant starting from Chapter 10 for 38.000.

Gameplay[]

A puzzling weapon in the player's arsenal given its late availability. While it seemingly has the highest firepower per shot compared to its alternatives, it also has the worst spread of any shotgun in the game making it risky to use in any real practice.

This is compounded by the fact that it is fired from the hip; making aiming a bit more cumbersome should there be obstacles, as well as ammo scarcity being an issue in general.

As impractical as it is to use as a crowd clearing weapon however, it is nearly second to none as a crowd control weapon against smaller enemies; easily staggering / blowing away closer enemies while flinching ones that are slightly further away due to its wide spread.

Its comparably small inventory size as well as high capacity also helps in mitigating inventory management, opening much more space for other necessities.
