In-game informationEdit

In campaign, the Striker Sidekick is a legendary weapon awarded to the player in the Forward Operating Base progression system upon reaching 2,200 Valor. It has an increased magazine size of 14 rounds. The rounds from the Striker Sidekick deals higher damage (killing a fully-shielded Spartan with 6 rounds instead of 10 rounds); it can kill in a fully-shielded Spartan with minimum of five rounds, assuming the fifth shot is a headshot. The weapon has reduced bloom at the cost of higher recoil.[2]
