Striker's Battlegear delivers the highest sustained damage output in The Division 2. Master building 200 Striker stacks, pairing St. Elmo's Engine with Coyote's Mask, and routing 15-minute Challenging Countdown targeted loot runs.
Equip 4 pieces of Striker's Battlegear: Chest (increases max stacks to 200) and Backpack (increases damage per stack from 0.65% to 1.0%). Fill the remaining two slots with a Grupo Sombra piece for +15% Crit Damage and the exotic Coyote's Mask.
Calibrate your gear attributes with Critical Hit Damage on all pieces while keeping Critical Hit Chance between 50% and 54%. Coyote's Mask automatically grants +10% to +25% CHC to your entire team depending on target distance.
Every shotgun pellet grants an independent Striker stack. Firing a single drum of an ACS-12 shotgun into a heavy tank or chokepoint builds 100+ stacks in under 2 seconds before swapping to St. Elmo's Engine for laser-accurate DPS.
In Countdown, never rush the main mission first. Stick with the 8-player group to disable the 3 red Countermeasure terminals (Hazard Protection and Skill Damage buffs), melt all 4 VIP Hunters with Jammer Pulses, and extract at the Helipad.

Set your targeted loot in Countdown or The Summit to 'Assault Rifles'. St. Elmo's Engine drops frequently from named bosses and can also be purchased from the Countdown vendor with Countdown credits.
Hunters possess instant SHD skill-hack protocols. If an agent deploys a striker drone or assault turret, the Hunter will instantly hack it, causing your own automated skill to wipe your team in seconds.
