The Firestriker is a short-range incendiary cannon capable of dealing high blast damage, and is very similar to the Firespitter but with increased damage per rocket and ammo capacity.
How to obtain[]
Firestrikers can be obtained from Heavy-type Shadow Carja soldiers. Take down the soldier wielding it and it will be ready for use. Some named enemies also wield them, such as Zaid and Tarav.
Usage[]
Fired from the hip and dealing varying levels of damage, the weapon comes with a 45-round magazine and fires primitive but powerful rockets with timed fuses that detonate shortly after they attach to a target. The rockets also deal a small amount of Area Of Effect damage after the initial detonation. Aloy can bring down a large number of machines and humans before the magazine is spent and the weapon must be dropped, as it cannot be reloaded.
Advantages[]
- High blast damage.
- High rate of fire.
- Large magazine size (compared to the other explosive pickup weapon, the Disc Launcher).
- Knocks over and staggers softer targets.
Disadvantages[]
- Dangerous to the user in close quarters.
- Ammunition can be rapidly depleted.
- Inaccurate past medium range, as the rockets arc in flight.
- Like all pickup weapons, it slows Aloy down while carrying it.
