This gun arguably gains the most benefit from the Gunslinger skills in the Fugitive tree, specifically having Gun Nut Aced, One Handed Talent Aced, and Trigger Happy, as it has one of the highest fire-rates in the game, and the highest un-modified capacity of all the pistols in the game.Lower ammo pickup compared to other low damage, high fire rate automatic weapons.Highest magazine capacity of all pistols unmodified.Large ammo pool and pickup rate for a pistol.Its large ammo reserve can be a major asset, provided the player uses controlled bursts to prevent burning ammo too quickly.īefore bringing this gun on a heist for the first time, it is suggested to try it out in the safe house. After understanding how the recoil can pull this gun up very quickly, it then becomes easier to manage in a heist.Īfter the release of the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC, the STRYK 18c has gained a select fire switch. This allows it to perform like all the other pistols and can help compensate for close range builds by allowing the player the take out snipers. With its high damage output it can be very effective against heavy SWAT units and Bulldozers. Modifications can also be used to improve its long-range effectiveness.Ī properly modded STRYK 18c is much more controllable, and some players may find it a suitable alternative for a submachine gun. The recoil of an unmodified STRYK 18c makes it almost useless when firing at anything beyond close range, though short bursts help to control the recoil.

The close-range efficiency of this weapon makes it a perfect pair to any of the primary weapons set up for both medium and longer ranges.

It has a very high DPS and can take out several SWAT units at close range very quickly.

The STRYK 18c's damage per bullet is equal to that of the Chimano 88, but it can fire in fully automatic.
