Described by Sledgehammer Games as a “compact SMG that handles like a carbine,” the Striker 9 handles just like that at all ranges. Granted, you don’t want to be caught in the open with an SMG, but the following build may help you feel bold in your lobbies.

The ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider is arguably one of the best attachments in the game, as it shortens radar pings, and boosts important attributes like vertical and horizontal recoil. It also gives a notable boost to firing aim stability, perfect for unloading full magazines on enemy players.

Meanwhile, the Stirker Recon Long Barrel greatly improves bullet velocity and range, perfect for mid-range engagements.

Since it’s an SMG, the Striker 9 does deal with an increased amount of recoil, however, the Sakin ZX Grip will help keep the gun’s recoil down. On the other hand, the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop will help boost your movement speeds, keeping you mobile at all times.

Finally, the default mag leaves room to be desired, and that’s where 50 Round Drum comes in. Having more bullets per clip will help you lay down suppressive fire and keep your enemies on their heels.
