The Striker is a seasonal vehicle featured as the grand prize for Season 20: Apocalypse. Modeled by YomelS, it can seat 3 people, features a custom skin and has a minigun mounted on top. [1]
The Striker could have been obtained by reaching Level 10 through Contracts. It was found at the Season Hypezone during Season 20.
Overview[]
The Striker has a mostly custom design, borrowing little elements from the Nissan GT-R R35.[2] It features sharp front ploughs, a jerrycan to the left, a stop sign on its rear and spikes adorned on several parts of the vehicle. Its custom texture features text, reading "HELP!" on one side and "HELLO?" on the other. Additionally, like the Celestial, SWAT Van, and Goliath, it is mounted with a Minigun on the top that can be used by passengers.
Performance[]
The Striker features mediocre performance for a seasonal car. Its top speed is 168 MPH, which is behind every seasonal grand prize but the Frost Crawler, but with notably weaker acceleration. One great aspect of its performance is its durability, Due to it being an armoured vehicle, the Striker has more vehicle health than most and can shield the driver and passengers from 20% of weapon damages.
Overall, the Striker is an average vehicle performance-wise, at least in comparison to other seasonal vehicles. Players often view this as a seasonal version of the Celestial, as it performs similarly.
